NOT SAFE!
It is overall a fun place, and it will certainly entertain you and you'll get your cardio workout, they do not have safety at the top of the list.
Upon arrival, you must e-sign a waiver (for yourself and/or minors). Then, they insist that younger participants must buy socks. The socks do have rubber grips on the bottoms which may be why, but adults are not required to do the same.
There are lockers to put your stuff, but no way to lock them unless you brought your own lock. Who the heck brings a lock? So someone has to sit out to guard your stuff.
There are 3 trampoline zones. One where you can run and bounce against the walls, get some air and overall have a blast. Second zone is designed for dodgeball but those trampolines are much more droopy and harder to maneuver on. Third zone looks like a foam pit, but it is NOT a foam pit. It's a bunch of foam blocks on top of trampolines. BE CAREFUL in this area, the foam blocks can conceal the steel beams for the trampolines underneath. You may think your headed for a foam space, but land on a support bar.
There are support bars everywhere, of course, something has to hold up the trampolines, and they do pad them. Enough? Who knows?
The final zone is a great freefall experience. The fall is fun as heck! Drop 20 feet into a giant poofy airbag (which is tricky to get out of).
However, the ascent to get to the fall is NOT SAFE. To get up, you have to climb on some "rock wall" style grips (which since you're not allowed shoes are painful and difficult). But the worst part, is that as you try to make the climb, there is a steel rail which you should be able to pull up on to help the painful climb. But this rail is NOT attached to anything. When you go to grab it, and it completely slips, you can easily fall or otherwise hurt yourself.
When I brought this to the attention of the staff I was told, "Yeah, we've told our manager a bunch of times, but they never do anything about it." WHAT? All it would take is about one welder an hour to get done. That's like $60. And you can't do this one little thing?!
Overall it was fun, but the negatives will cause me to not return. The climb to the freefall, both the rail and the steps, concern me that management truly does not care.
