Fun Max Jump-In

When we first came here with a 2 and almost 3 year old, we were ecstatic to find something in the South Houston area for younger kids to do, because there is basically NOTHING.
We ended up paying a pretty affordable rate for the older 3 year old and the 2 year old was free. We also forgot to bring socks and we had to purchase them there for 2 $, which was not bad at all. It was better than driving all the way home to pick some up!
There are two rooms filled with bounce houses. The one on the left does NOT have air-​conditioning and this is very uncomfortable, especially in Texas summers! The main room which is where the arcade games and the better bounce houses are is air-​conditioned. There is a huge bounce house right in the middle that has a very fun-​slide which even I am allowed to bounce in and slide down. (And I am chunky).
There is a air-​conditioned parent’s room with a television and a open window for the parents to keep an eye on their children through. They also have party rooms with very uncomfortable benches and tables.
You can buy snacks and drinks at the counter, which consists of juice, soda, crackers, and some other snack-​like food.
My biggest complaint about this place is the number of children they allow in a room at one time. Most of the parents do not watch their children as they are playing and these children are the ones running around knocking down the smaller children and then laughing about it. There IS a toddler bounce house, but they also allow the bigger kids in this one and therefore makes it unsafe for toddlers.
Overall, I like this place. It’s affordable, fun and air-​conditioned, BUT is NOT a safe place for the younger kids due to over-​crowding and parents that are too busy watching television and talking to others to keep an eye on those they brought into this world.

This is a good place for kids to jump. Mostly its a venue for young kids’ birthday parties. Of which I go to entirely too many these days.
If you’ve never been — you show up with your kid, and sign a release promising not to sue them. There are several big labeled bins; one of them is labeled with your party’s host’s name. You deposit the kiddie birthday gift in it. As a parent you have the option of staying for the whole deal or making polite chit-​chat with the hosting-​parent, and then fleeing. Fun Max has a Spec’s liquor store AND a bar next door, so that’s a plus.
They have several huge carpeted rooms, each of which has ~5 different inflatable bounce-​house inflatable structures. Kids run wild, climbing, sliding, bouncing bouncing bouncing for an hour. Between the yelling children and the air-​compressors for the bouncies, it’s LOUD. This one has a parents’ lounge, quiet with a picture window. I don’t know if they’ll let you bring stuff back from Spec’s; they didn’t have any signs about corkage charges.
After an hour, kids go into an adjoining party room, while the next birthday party takes over the bounce room. In the party room, it’s pizza, cake, ice cream and other high-​sugar treats. The staff wheels in the birthday gift bin and celebration ensues. And ends in exactly one hour, to make way for the next group of hyperactive 7 yr olds.
Check it out. If you’re the parent of a local 7-​yr-​old, you probably already have.
