    Moving Balance beam
    Dayy H.

    We had a great time visiting this location on vacation. There was so much for my two-year-old to do, including jumping balance being video games, even a large jungle gym that she was able to play in. We went on a weekday so it wasn't overcrowded. She had enough space to run around and not be trampled by older. Kids will definitely visit again.

    Leap off the high dive!

    We finally ventured into Shell We Bounce on a rainy day! The place is nicely kept and definitely kid friendly for all ages. They have a medium sized soft playground with probably 20 arcade games. The rest of the building is filled with awesome trampolines. There's a dodgeball room, balance beams, jousting activities, etc. There's a "high dive" into a gigantic air bag, which is a huge attraction! The kids had so much fun! It's definitely less pricey than Urban Air up in Newark, DE. We'll absolutely be back!

    Trash and dirty sticky floor

    It wasn't as big as I'd thought. I Saw pictures with inflatables and there weren't any. The little kids area was very small and didn't hold their interest. Nothing like in the pictures. The biggest reason I'm rating this a 2 is because of how filthy and run down the place was along with the staff. Trash everywhere- on the arcade games, floor, play area. I didn't dare to eat or drink from here. Even the hand sanitizer dispensers were empty. It looks fairly newer but the place needs lots of TLC. Broken glass on one of the arcade machines, painters tape over broken pieces of other machines, play area padding ripped or damaged, one of the bolts on the slide was missing a cap and had tape over top of it. Real shotty band aids work over fixing and repairs. I saw people working there but no one was available behind the ticket counter or the food area. Lots of employees hanging out in the employee area. It was weird. Like no one was "working". The staff also didn't enforce any type of rules. Not sure why they're even there. Maybe hire less people since your paying them to do nothing- and use that money to fix up and make repairs....just a thought.

    I was excited to see how much they have to offer. There was one section that wasn't up and running which was a bummer. None of the staff were very involved at all. Some times it was hard to tell which kids were employees and which were there to jump. All of that aside we had a blast. I especially enjoyed the balance beam where you joust another person off. Not sure what that's called. You are required to purchase their socks for $2 I'm sure you can bring them for next time. They had a cafe where you could buy snacks and drinks. There was also a lounge area overlooking the entire place where parents could hang out in recliners, that was cool! 2 hours was plenty for us! We will be back

    Air pillow!

    Headed to Shell we Bounce on a Friday evening around 8pm. Perfect timing! The facility was clean and uncrowded. Staff was friendly and prices were reasonable. This was a fun activity to do with the kids (and adults)!

    The business owner did eventually contact me and attempt to correct the situation that happened.

    Never had a bad time, even when I come in last! They have a range of carts, some super fast and…read moresome more average. My adult family and I did the 5 ride pack so we did each course once, than chose our favorites to do a second time. Any more than that would've been too much for us, but most people that were there had the 8 ride bracelet. Some of the races we thought too many people were on the track, but some people think it's more fun that way. We are all a bit sore the next day (bruised knees and backs from the force of the karts). The carts are small so anyone over 6' might have a tough time fitting.

    I am so happy that I didn't listen to the reviews on here and TripAdvisor. My kids wanted to do a…read morewater park, but they also love go karts. I almost just opted for Jungle Jim's instead and changed my mind at the last minute figuring we would just deal with the teenagers working in order to do what we wanted. We arrived at 10:20 am (they opened at 10) and went right up to buy the full day pass. This allowed us all day access to the water park, and 4 ride tickets and mini golf. The go karts had zero wait times and the boys working were all helpful and nice. We did 2 rides and then went to the water park. TONS of available tables all with umbrellas. The mountain slides were a lot of fun as were the regular water slides. Lazy River was a hit and when I just wanted to cool off alone, I went into the pool because it wasn't busy. The nice thing about the water park is you can come and go with the wrist band. We stayed for about 2 hours and left to eat lunch at another place, then drove back and finished our final go kart rides, did mini golf and spent another 2 hours at the water park. A lot of parking options. The bathroom stalls are a little difficult to get in and out of because the doors swing in almost hitting the toilet. My kids and I had a great time! All of the lifeguards were great, to be honest the only somewhat unfriendly person was the older lady working the ticket booth upon arrival.

    They don't do it for the money. They don't do it for the…read morecheer. They do it for the glory. And beer, and fried pickles, and turkey legs, and pumpkin funnel cake. At least that's what I'm assuming why some grown men and women would voluntarily want to build a catapult or air vessel to launch a pumpkin in the air the length of 13 football fields. The only thing you win is a gnome trophy. This was one of the few times I went to Delaware for non-surfing reasons. I have to say I'm starting to like this small state more if this is one of their official state sports. This is a three day spectacle, The Superbowl of Pumpkin Chucking. Basically, I spent my Sunday listening to drunk people scream "Fire in the Hole" and throw/destroy stuff, basically it's like an average Sunday at my house but outdoors and with new faces. So here's how it works. You drive to some corn field in the middle of Bridgeville (use GPS), pay $10 bucks, park and discover the sights and smells of this world championship. There are rides for the little ones, all kinds of fried foods, chili and barbeque, even a beauty pageant. And then you have the piece de la resistance, the mechanical engineering masterpieces that rocket pumpkins into the sky from three different types of "chunkers": catapults, trebuchets and air cannons. Here's an explanation: Air Cannon Uses compressed air to launch a pumpkin.Air is compressed into a tank. When the constraint holding that air is removed, air expands back to its normal volume. The result is released air acts like a spring and forces the pumpkin through the tube at great volume, expelling the pumpkin out with a big boom. Centrifugal air vessel/cannon has an arm that spins at least 360 degrees to launch a pumpkin. The spin accelerates the pumpkin, and each rotation gains more and more momentum until it can build up enough energy to propel the pumpkin forward. Catapult Uses stretched springs or rubber bands. When the springs or bands are pulled and then released, the stored up energy is transferred to the arm of the device, which hurls the pumpkin. A torsion catapult uses twisted rope. The rope stores mechanical energy when it is twisted. The amount of force it releases is proportional to the amount it is twisted. Trebuchet Transforms the potential energy stored in the lifted heavy mass into the kinetic energy that is the motion of the smaller mass (the pumpkin). It uses a short arm, which is weighted down with a heavy object to counterbalance against the long arm, where the projectile (the pumpkin) is placed. When the heavy mass of the short arm falls down, it provides energy to fling the long arm. So how do I know all this? For one reason, I dyed over all the blonde highlights in my hair recently and now can retain more information, and secondly I was right behind the discovery channel camera men and Mythbuster people. The time in between launchings is long, and there was an hour long break due to a spotter getting hit by a flying pumpkin. Luckily there's lots of entertainment (beauty pageant, rides, Pumpkin cornhole) and food (chili cook off tent, Smoked Turkey Legs, Bar-B-Q Ribs, Chicken, Baked Potato,Dipped and Fried Vegetables,Cheesecake-on-a-stick) to keep you occupied. It's a very family friendly event, so bring your offspring and teach them hands on lessons about energy and mass, or they can just hold your beer for you.

    Ok I love going to Punkin Chunkin. It seems to be drawing a bigger crowd this year with all the…read morepublicity its been getting on TV but we still had a great time. So first off dress warm! Cheer on everyone! The work they put in all year is incredible. The food is carnival food and there is stuff to do with the kids (think bouncy houses, kids rides). The main event is the punkins flying through the air and all the amazing machinery present. Some human powered, some air powered... just a sight to see.

    My daughter has been attending drama theater camps offered by Rehoboth Summer Children's Theatre…read morefor many years since she was 5-1/2, she is now 8. She loved the first year and has been excited to go back every year since. During the camp week, the children learn the plays and put on a performance at the end of the week. The younger children go for a half day and the older children go for a full day during the 5 day week. The older and younger kids work together and separately throughout the day. All of the older children have been great role models for the younger kids and have taught my daughter how to help provide motivation to the younger campers. Steve and Karen lead the children through drama exercises during the week, help them learn a play that they will perform on the final day and make props for the performance. All the staff are very patient and kind to the children. Also, during the week, the kids get to see a performance put on by the Rehoboth Summer Children's Theatre group. These are full performances acted out by two individuals. The plays change from year to year and are fun to watch. This year my daughter will try the Film and TV Camp for the first time. It will be an exciting challenge to try something new. I'm sure this camp will be organized and as rewarding as the drama camps. We will be returning for more camps this summer and hopefully for more summers to come!

We watched him grow in confidence and explore facets of his creativity we didn't know were there. Not only did he grow creatively, he learned to listen to his peers and as time went on to help younger campers develop. Now, our granddaughter, who is seven, is going into her third summer with RSCT. She loves performing and loves her summer camp!
