    Dodgeball
    Morgan T.

    Was looking for a new place for the kids to have fun found this place on Groupon and didn't think it would be very big . This place is HUGE !! As a parent I love that all areas are separated so you know where your kids are at all times . The workers were very nice and helpful ! Will definitely be back again

    My son in ER on his Birthday party
    Rinki G.

    Hazardously constructed equipments as a result my son ended up in ER on his birthday.I planned my sons 11th birthday party at Jumping world at Allen on April 17th 2022 and he ended up in an ER. This place is not safely constructed for being a Jumping location. My son and his friends were playing in the PIT, where while jumping around he fell off in that PIT and hit a hard siding and got more than an inch scalp laceration on the back of his head. He was bleeding crazy and the management could not even provide a first aid kit. They were not even considerate of my bleeding son and were more busy cleaning up the accident area. We called 911 and transported him to the ER in an ambulance where he got 3 staples. They don't even have enough staff to monitor the place or the playing areas. wish i had an option of a negative rating

    Fun place but it isn't cheap!! I took 6 kids for total at $120! Without an adult add-on. (2 hours for the oldest cost $72 and 2 hours for the younger ones cost $48) The couple of employees we encountered were polite. I would Never do 2 hours again. A lot of stuff is being worked on so 1 hour would be more than enough to get it all done. It looks like they are still trying to get up and running. Vending machines were empty and other stations were still being worked on or weren't open. Mine mostly enjoyed the mega (sort of) tumble track. I would say 5 year olds and up is really ideal. It is a large and open space but makes running off easy for your little people. The AC was nice and cold so it's a good place to escape the heat! IMO the price is high for what is currently being offered but maybe when it's completed it would be fair. I'll hope for a coupons or look for a Groupon next time.

    The Bull
    Desmond S.

    My family was pleased to see this place be re-opened as Jumping World. My kids love trampoline parks and this place has all of the goodies. They have trampolines, foam pits, dodge-ball, a kids court and even basketball dunking. My kids also love the bull ride. It is with sadness that I need to write a review about a not so favorable experience. My son and daughter were here with a their cousins, and one of the employees made several comments to my son about his hair while he was on the trampoline. He said "your hair looks like ramen-noodles". My son has curly hair, so I guess this kid thought it was funny to compare my sons hair to curly noodles. A few minutes later this kid yells to my son "hey ramen-noodles". This went on for a large part of the time my son spent at jumping world. My son told this kid he didn't like being called ramen-noodles, the kid laughed and pushed my son down on the trampoline several times. My son is 10 years old. My son came home and didn't mention anything that happened. The next day, we took the kids back, my son said he didn't want to go, but wouldn't give a reason, so we insisted he goes with his sister and cousins. Low and behold this same kid sees my sons and starts calling him ramen-noodles again. My son tells him, I don't like being called that, my sons cousin says "you need to stop calling him that". The kid thought it was funny. He pushes my son down while on the trampolines several times again. THIS IS BULLYING! My son comes home that day visibly upset, but was scared to tell us what happened. Lucky for us, his cousin and sister inform us what happened. As a father, I am livid. My wife tells me she will deal with it since she didn't want me drive there and fly off the handle. She goes in a couple days later to talk to the manager. My son was scared to go in, so he walked to the entrance, pointed at the kid, then asked can he and his sister wait in the car. My wife talks to the manager; the woman is very apologetic and tells my wife "your son will never have to deal with this kid again". My wife and I both took this as they will fire this kid for abusing my son. A few days later, a neighbor asks to take our kids with his kids to this place on Monday (June 10, 2019). We assured my son this kid won't be there and my son is excited to go with his friends. Guess what, this kid is still there, but behind the counter now. The place is empty and my son was frightened the entire time. My daughter calls while I'm at work and tells me the kid is still there. This time I choose to pick my son up since I'm done with excuses. I walk in to pick my son up and he is visibly shaken still seeing this kid behind the counter. I realize I'm too angry to go to the counter. The kid is standing behind the counter with another kid and they are looking at us whispering and laughing. I choose to not even look at this kid since I'm angry, but as we walk toward the door, the kids (with a smug look on his face) says "thanks for coming, hope you come back soon" and laughs. Since he's a kid, I didn't say anything to him, but I knew at that point it was time to leave a review and share my negative experience. I can't apply any logic to a place employing a bully and allowing a child to be abused, then still letting that kid keep the job. The sad thing is, my kids love this place, but I will not be returning. Imagine bringing you kids someplace you feel you can trust, and having an older kid push your kid around and make fun of him. Then imagine said kid being an employee of the very place you took your kid to have a fun safe good time. I am disappointed in the management for not handling this situation, but instead empowering a bully.

    My kids are 11 and it's more for little kids. Not even a place for parents to sit and watch the kids. I mean when parent allow this and while I'm sitting in a out of order game. Cubbies for a reason. Shoes on tables. Also each game is like $6-7.

    Free Play is fun and a great bargain in my opinion at 13 dollars a person per entry. You can stay…read moreas long as you'd like and continue playing games, all in free play mode! There are a variety of games- PacMan, a foosball like hockey game, racing games, pinball, frogger, shooting games, old classics like Fix-it-Felix, DDR, shooting hoops, skee ball and more! It's relatively clean and employees come help is something is glitchy or a ball is stuck in the basketball game, for example. They play music at an appropriate volume (this place is way less deafening than cidercade, and less crowded too!). I've never had food/ alcohol here so can't speak to that. It's definitely a great place to go, especially with a buddy, to get competitive and just unwind a little! My only complaint- the arrows in DDR are not very sensitive and tend to stick a little on their machines. It's very hard to adjust the initial difficulty level because the DOWN arrow on both sides of their machine is so not-receptive to touch you have to jump on it with intense force to move it from basic to more difficult. I'm actually pretty good at DDR and kept getting BOOS from arrows I was hitting. So just don't come here specifically for a DDR marathon and you won't be disappointed. Everything else was in good working order!

For about $13, you get unlimited free play all day, making it an excellent value. The arcade is a little smaller than some of the other Free Play locations, but it's packed with classic games from the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s, along with a nice selection of pinball machines. There's a full-service bar and food menu. I didn't try the food, but the drinks were reasonably priced. My only complaint is that there aren't many places to set down a drink while playing, so it can feel a bit cramped when it's busy. The arcade is tucked away in an older shopping center, so it's easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. Even with the Father's Day crowd, the staff stayed busy while remaining friendly and the restrooms were clean. Overall, it's a fun and affordable place to spend a few hours, whether you're reliving your childhood or introducing someone else to classic arcade games.

    Wow! What a fun place!…read more We decided to celebrate our little guys BD at this place. Reserved a party pack a few days before and when we arrived the staff was just awesome. It was midweek and not super busy! So many arcade options for all ages, plus air hockey and skee ball. It was unlimited play for like $12 a person! The claw machines are a separate charge but worth it - lots to choose from! Decor inside is so much fun, lots of great movie props! Plus it's clean! Our group ordered pizzas which were good and typically pub pizzas. The also had beer and wine beverages and a large selection than we anticipated.

I was super excited to see that it was $10.99 for all day play! Claw machines are not included in the price but it's $1 per token so that's still a good deal. There are so many games to choose from. Since we got there around noon, it wasn't crowded yet, which made it even more enjoyable. The space was clean and the AC felt great, such a good break from the summer heat. The popcorn smelled really good and I saw they have buckets of it you can buy as well as drinks and snacks. We ended up staying for about two hours and probably could've stayed longer. You are given a wrist band and can come and go as needed. We'll definitely be back! Great spot for an affordable and fun outing.

My company rented out a meeting room here 4 days in a row for days that stretched from 9am to 4pm. The big pluses here are that it's easy to find and the parking is free. The meeting room is like a plain corporate meeting space with a network connection and a partition divvying the space. While it wasn't the most stimulating place to sit all day, the ambient noise of people having fun and playing games is kind of amusing given the stark contrast of company gathering and all the fun brouhaha going on outside. Everyday of the meetings, we had steam trays of food brought for breakfast and lunch. The food was like kid-friendly versions of everything. For example, we had taco Tuesday, and the food was reminiscent of school cafeteria food. It wasn't bad, but something you definitely wouldn't want to eat everyday. The employees here were really nice and helpful, so the team here is solid. Whenever we had tech issues, someone was in right away to assist. The big irony here is that after the four days of training we got cards to enjoy ourselves with unlimited play for like an hour, but we were all too worn out to enjoy. So is the life of grown folks.

This place is incredibly disorganized and honestly feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen. For the amount of money you spend to get in, absolutely nothing here is worth it. Here is what you need to know before you go: * Zero Staff Supervision: There are no staff members supervising the bounce room or the shooting area. Because of this, little kids are running wild with guns everywhere. * Not Teen-Friendly: Because the facility is overrun with unsupervised "littles," teenagers do not have a dedicated or safe place to actually play. If you have older kids, this is definitely not the place for you. * Broken Games: The "video game" area is a joke. They only have 12 older games, and only 4 of them actually work. * No Basic Amenities: There is absolutely nowhere to put your shoes. On top of that, they do not offer any food or drinks for sale, meaning you have to haul everything in yourself. Save yourself the headache and the money. We will not be returning.
