Sometimes it'll be an issue with another kid or a bigger kid even but it's not something that is out of the normal for that many kids. It gets worked out. The staff is nice and usually helpful. Lots of good birthday parties there. I like it better than the other trampoline parks. They could do a better job of answering the phone tho. Never is crazy lol also the new hours, 4-8pm in the middle of summer is wild. It used to be a pretty solid place for parents to come work remote while their kids played but apparently that era is over. 4-8 is like the prequel to closing for good.

    We visited Urban Air on July 18, 2026, for a children's birthday party with our 23-month-old and…read more5-year-old. When we arrived, I was told my toddler could jump while I watched from the sidelines. However, after seeing how chaotic the facility was, there was no way I felt comfortable doing that. Children were running around unsupervised, teenagers were climbing up the slides the wrong way, kids weren't taking turns, and I didn't see staff monitoring any slides. To keep my 23-month-old safe, I ended up paying the additional 50% fee so I could accompany him on the trampoline. Instead of being able to relax and enjoy the party, I spent the entire time chasing and playing alongside my toddler to make sure he didn't get hurt. It was exhausting--I left drenched in sweat, and I'm 38 years old, a runner, and in good shape. Unfortunately, the experience got worse when we left the party area. Someone stole my Altra running shoes along with the zippered party favor bags we had received. My 5-year-old was heartbroken. On top of that, many of the arcade games were out of order, two major attractions were closed. I think this location would benefit greatly from having a dedicated toddler area where younger children can play safely away from older kids. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this Urban Air.

    We planned our daughter's birthday party here in December 2025 and had such a great experience!…read moreThey offer several party packages, and we chose the "After Hours - Decor" package, which includes up to 15 children and 30 adults. I loved the variety of themes they offer -- we picked the Pink Castle theme, which was perfect for our daughter's "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Two" celebration. For our package, they set up & clean up which makes it less stressful. The staff was incredibly kind, patient, and very responsive during the planning process. They even accommodated special requests like customizing the balloon colors. Everything came together beautifully and made for such a memorable celebration. I definitely recommend this place for birthday parties for little ones! I just wish we lived closer because they also host so many fun activities and character meet-and-greets.

We just never went back. We decided to take our kids to an indoor play area and wanted to give this another shot. I was surprised it wasn't too crowded for a Friday afternoon but it was great! Check-in wasn't super smooth again - they had issues finding us in the system, so I just started filling out a new waiver again online myself while she struggled to find us on the computer. Finally we got to go inside and the kids had a great time. It was a lot more spacious than last time and they made better use of the play areas. It didn't feel so crowded and they had plenty of seating for parents all around. Glad we gave it another shot, will definitely return sooner rather than later next time.

    Visited twice now - first time the event was a 3-4 star event, they had cool dinosaurs and the kids…read morehad fun. The overall size limited the trip and we worked through it faster than anticipated. It was quite busy but the overall vibe was fun. The second visit was way more enjoyable and we decided to visit due to the addition of a reptile exhibit that included hands on experiences with snakes, lizards, and more! The exhibit was not as packed when we arrived this time, so my kids got to play in the water room much longer and then do the Dino coloring for a bit before they setup the show. Many kids arrived at the show time, but there was plenty of room and the hosts were awesome. Would still go without the show, knowing it's a quick trip through - would go again for the reptile exhibit!

    We had a blast at Dinos Alive with our 2 toddlers (and 1 late teen who is a Dino expert)!…read moreUnderstand this - it isn't Disneyland, Universal, Knotts, or Six Flags. It's a well designed, compacted, intuitively creative, and incredible dinosaur immersion experience! Price is affordable - just stick to the basic package and you'll have a wonderful time. Is it big? No. Is it so large you want to rush through? No. Is it fun for a date? Depends on your preference. Will your young kids have a wonderful time? YES! Will you have a great time? If you love creativity, have imagination, and enjoy seeing the glow in your children's eyes with looks of discovery and awe.. then you will absolutely love this. Parking is limited but plenty of availability when we went late afternoon. Parking immediately across the street is cheaper, just pay the attendant at the actual site first. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Ambiance of Dinos Alive is cloudy with smog machines, dark, mysterious, and immersed you into "dino zone." Plenty of large dinos for families to enjoy (and touch - wasn't sure if this was allowed but we did it anyways as I'm sure the creators intended it for young kids). Take it slow, don't rush. Done with your tour? Backtrack back to the beginning and do it all over again! First round you're typically taking pictures. So make the second round a fun experience for yourself and absorb everything the Dinos Alive staff put together. Afterwards, there's a fun station for coloring dinos and scanning them to show up walking on a projector! Pretty darn cool, if I says so myself. Fun little eggs to take photos in. Excavation zone to dust off dinosaur bones. Couple rides for young kids with a small and big dino to take some videos. Small shop to purchase stuff if your wallet feels generous. The entire experience, with backtracking and seeing the dinos twice while taking our sweet time and messing with the kids, took a little over 1 hour. If you rush through, it'll take a measly 10 minutes (so don't do that). Highly recommended if you have children who are into dinosaurs! An experience you might forget, but definitely an experience the kids will remember!

There were so many beautiful light displays and plenty of great photo opportunities. The lighting in the Santa area was a bit darker and very red-toned, but you can try to adjust by tweaking the warmth and tones when editing photos on your phone. They also had animatronic dragons that were really impressive, with sounds that made them feel even more lifelike. Ice skating and carnival rides were available as well, though those were an additional cost. Overall, it was a really fun and festive outing!

I received a last minute text and email from them on the 24th stating the event closure. In the email, it did state they will give a complimentary ticket for the inconveniences but nothing was attached. I emailed them back about this and no response for many days. I did eventually receive the complimentary ticket. We finally got the chance to check them out. There were many lights to but some i felt were kinda repetitive. Many photo boxes for photo opportunities. The lights were nice but nothing "wow". We paid extra for ice skating. The rink is ok in size. A tad smaller than the rink from downtown. There are no lockers to store your personal items. They do have skating assistance for kids and adults but first come first serve. Parking is $10.
