The helper was great and she gave us clues on a screen. The props were well marked and we were able to finish and escape within seconds of the one hour mark. I highly recommend this room to anyone looking for a fun, team building, high energy experience! I recommend at least four people per group as it took all four of us working together to solve all the mysteries. I had so much fun that I purchased a package for my family!

Always a hit with kids! We come here for the parties. I'm…read moresure it's just as fun as a play date/weekday jump session. A 2 hour party for 25 kids costs $345.00 for a weekend party. Includes pizza and pop. The party is jumping first for 1 hour and 15 minutes. They start in room A and then to room B. The two rooms have different inflatables. The first room has a huge bubble machine. The second room has a floor video game. The 45 minutes at the end is rounding up the kids into the party room to eat, look at pictures on the TV that the workers take via digital camera, and open presents. Service is ok. Employees are young people. Some are teenagers. So their service isn't above and beyond par. They get the party scheduled and moving. I do like this place compared to other competitors. The difference is that they know how to schedule the kids and move them along. It's easy to maneuver and not as chaotic when there are multiple parties going on. No idea how they clean the place in between parties. (Hopefully they DO clean...???) But we recommend Pump it Up.

I took my little man to a birthday party here today and I was definitely impressed. This place is…read morea lot like Monkey Joes and The Playground in Ankeny. It is like Monkey Joes in that it is all inflatables. It is like The Playground in that it has different rooms with the play equipment in it. Of the three places mentioned I'd have to say I like this place the best. The facility has two big rooms and the two rooms have 6 inflatables total with three in each room. I posted pics of some of the inflatables. The big plus is that they have changed out and updated the inflatables unlike Monkey Joes who has had the same inflatables for years. Outside of the inflatables the rooms also have some small toys to play with and one room has a game that is broadcast onto the floor that the kids can stomp around on. As far as the birthday party went it was pretty cool. They start you out in one room for a set amount of time then move you to the second room for a set amount of time. Finally they move you into a party room for cake and presents. There were two people attached to the group and one person seemed to lead. He took pictures throughout the party and had them playing on a TV at the end. He also took notes and wrote down who gave what presents. All in all I'd definitely recommend Pump It Up for your kiddos and parties.

As a guest at a…read morerecent wedding I attended I was pleasantly surprised at the attention to detail by the staff, we were greeted at the front of the Chateau and escorted to walk down a pathway to the gazebo, where the Ceremony took place which looked stunning coming down the pathway as the wedding party made their way down, after the Ceremony headed back up the pathway inside to discover everything set up perfectly for the dinner with was very elegant the staff very accommodating released tables, food line well placed and ran quickly and efficiently, staff picking up empty glasses and plates, everything right on point and staff extremely well orchestrated down to the last detail of service for guests, and wedding party, then as the party got a bit rowdy the staff watched for signs of to much alcohol intake, and took action of kindness but assertiveness for cutting off alcohol when needed. Have your event here and you will love every second of every minute...

But Lumber Axe chopped my expectations. The environment was full of laughs, friendly competition, and great service. The wait for drinks wasn't long by any means. I was also given a little lesson between crafts and mystery pints, were were both specials on their list of quality beers. The mystery pint is great! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Overall, I had a great time here and my friends also had an axe-cellent experience coming with me! Strongly recommend trying out the place!

When I called to ask questions I was told that there was a max of 5 ppl on the public range but in all actuality it could be up to 12 ppl. You have very limited axe throwing time. The make you play games with others and they also make throw one a 1-2-3 count. It is a bit disturbing actually and disruptive. There were very young patrons and we were the oldest by far. If you only want to play games and have limited time throwing fir your money this is your place. It was a real disappointment. There is another place in town that allows you to throw as much as you like. I would recommend it if you truly want to throw.
