    The kids seem to like this place. My concerns are they have older teens intermixing and playing in…read morethe same area and it gets a little rough. It's not cheap! Plus, I paid for 90 minutes for my teen and they shorted him about 10 mins. I know that's not much, but I paid for those 10 minutes! Everything is pricey there, including the food. My boy enjoyed himself none the less, but if you go, be prepared to fill out a waiver for everyone under 18 (which is most users). Its ok for the occasional treat, but not a regular thing.

    I have mixed feelings about Airborne. On one hand, it's a great place for us to get energy out. We…read morehave summer passes, which make it very affordable. The equipment seems to be maintained & in good working condition, which is very important for a jump park. We all have a great time jumping, swinging, and sliding each visit. Staffing is friendly & abundant to ensure safety rules are being followed by the blind by excitement clientele. The unfortunate side of the coin is that this place is absolutely filthy. We've been coming weekly since June. The same piece of candy, once a colorful orange skittle, is smashed on the stairs every time getting blacker as the days go by. The floors clearly have not been swept or mopped, ever? There is a thick layer of dust on every surface the kids or parents don't touch like outsides of slides, crossbars, games, tops & spring covers of trampolines. The handles on the slide mats were clearly once colorful & now dingy black with skin flakes, oils, & dirt. Bathrooms are atrocious. Never once have I seen the workers cleaning anything. At regular price, we do not step foot in here. Summer pass makes the couple of bucks per visit worth it. Just make sure your everyone's hands are washed well when you leave because no one is wiping anything down around here.

    This is a great place for kids!! We have been taking our son since over a year and we have nothing…read morebut great things to say. The teachers are great, they give personalized attention to the kids with the aim to help them grow mentally and physically. They are very careful around smaller kids and it's a great way to have them interact. They have been super understanding and helpful in pandemic. Cleaning the gym thoroughly after every session and ensuring that parents and kids are comfortable. They not just give your kids a gymnastic experience but also make it fun for them. Even if your kid has a hard time following, is distracted they handle it in a very nice way. The best part is that the teachers are more like friends for the kids and play along with them which makes the kid more interested and easy to understand the instructions. Our son can't wait to keep going back! Definitely love this place.

    Update: Mr Will and the Owner bombarded me with emails and messages that were defensive and passive…read moreaggressive. I had left this gym, my family separated itself from this establishment and they did not contact us out of concern. They contacted us as soon as they saw my review. My reviews are honest and detailed. What my son and I experienced was real and awful. Now I am being harassed for sharing the truth about how things were handled. If they were truly concerned with my son Mr. WILL would not have told me that Hendrix was the new kid and kids will be rough. He wouldn't have told me that he would not address the parents because they were a tight knit group. When I told him we were ending our membership he was matter of fact and cold. No one called to check in on how Hendrix was. Now they still haven't done that! They saw my honest review and instead of making amends and apologizing, they insulted me and became defensive. This is the type of business these people run. I truly hope they make positive reform to create a safe space for children and parents to speak up for their children. They could not do that for my family. Beware!

    This review is from a young boy's 9th birthday party we attended mid- February…read more Overall, clean. Severely understaffed. We had to pay $7-8 extra just to utilize the trampoline which we had to request and wait for them to unlock, more than once, because they didn't have enough staff to supervise. It's annoying to pay extra and then have to repeatedly request to use the said item we paid extra for. The manager, James, was rude. Some of the kids at the party took cups from the wrong table and he let us know. My friend offered to pay the deficit, but eventually he relented and did not charge her. I was annoyed by his attitude that we owe some business money when the table wasn't supervised by staff, when we didn't realize the kids took from the wrong table, and when these stupid plastic cups probably cost the company less than 10 cents each! I spoke up, saying something like, "I don't think it's fair you're holding the customer responsible for a misunderstanding." He got angry and accused me of wanting something for nothing. This is after I PAID EXTRA to utilize equipment they were being stingy with. I was so pissed and was going to complain to the manager... but he WAS the manager. An employee, Sarah, saved the day by being an amazing worker and leading the kids in song and dance. She was kind, energetic and a breath of fresh air after dealing with James stifling personality. Sarah is the sole reason this is not a one star review. The food was gross. Kids didn't really eat the pizza. I went to use the bathroom and saw that Chuck E. Cheese was hiring for up to $11.50 per hour. No wonder James was ungodly worried about the cups. The company can't afford to pay him a living wage. How could they ever recoup a 3 plastic cup loss? I have no interest in ever patronizing Chuck E. Cheese again. The food is gross. The manager was awful, and the company doesn't pay employees enough to deal with the headache of sugar crazed, screaming kids. Hard pass.

    Very clean with friendly and put together staff. Almost all the machines were working well with no…read moreissues. The kids enjoyed it but it was very small. There were a few video games for older kids (ages 5-12) with plenty of games for younger kids. A little bit too expensive for what it is but that's to be expected. Overall good experience.
