There are different time-slots designated depending on the age group you decide to jump with. Each jump is allotted 3 hours. For instance, families with small kids jump early and adults jump in the evening. During the adult jump there was a live DJ who came up with games to engage the jumpers. The setup is comprised of 5 inflatable bounce houses with different themes. Within each of the bounce houses there are different props and games such as basketball hoops with beachballs for basketballs, gladiator rings, mini slides, a foam machine, and giant chairs. The best feature is the large slide that's attached to the "world's biggest bounce house" attraction, which is the largest of the 5 bounce houses. Some things to know before you go: - The weight limit is 245lbs - Bring extra socks, even if you just keep them in the car to change into afterwards. The weather was clear on our jump day, but rained in the days prior, which led to unavoidable puddles of water throughout all of the bounce houses. The temperature was around 60 degrees, so after a while walking around with wet socks was too cold and uncomfortable, which caused us to leave early - Wear shoes you don't mind getting dirty Recommend going on a warm day (not hot), ideally after consistently dry weather.

This is a traveling bounce house business and temporarily in Fort Washington, MD. From the second we walked in, the energy was contagious walls of trampolines, high-flying jumps, basketball inflatables, great music, and a whole lot of laughter echoing through the place. The inflatables were super springy (in the best way possible) and the staff were friendly and on top of safety without ever being overdoing it. We did not get any food, food truck offered fresh food options. The not so good: It was muddy due to rain in the area. There was some water puddles on the inflatables. It was not a show stopper. The best part! Everyone was genuinely having a great time. When they return to the DMV, this will be the perfect place birthdays, group outings, or just an excuse to have some all-out fun.

This park is a very nice neighborhood park. It is relatively small and has a few parking spots…read morealong the circle. The park is buried deep behind a neighborhood. The park has a picnic shelter with picnic tables under it and a grill just outside of it. It has two picnic tables. One of the tables is rectangular and the other is a square table with a checkerboard on it. There is also a couple of picnic tables and a grill in a grassy area in the center of the park's circle. You will also find a nice full basketball court at the park and a nice paved trail passes through it. It is a really nice trail and very peaceful. The highlight of the park though, is its playground. The playground has a rubber mud free floor, which is in great shape. There are benches around the playground's perimeter where parents can sit and watch their little ones. The playground's equipment includes a small jungle gym with slides, a large net climbing structure with a slide. There is also a bank of swings with a toddler swing, An ADA compliant swing, and some traditional swings. This is a very nice park. I didn't know if I would make a special trip to visit, but it is still very nice. I ended up here because I had picked up some food from a carryout joint and needed a place to eat it. The park's picnic shelter was the perfect spot. So, if you are in the area, and looking for a park to visit. I recommend checking this place out.

There is lots of space to park, very clean, and beautiful to look at. My nieces loved the blue color. There's a jungle gym, slides, swings for big kids and toddlers. The size is on the smaller side so it might get boring after an hour. My rec is 30-60 minutes stay. Also it's in a neighborhood which is a bit inconvenient when driving through. Stop by if you're already in the area but I wouldn't make a special trip again.

Anyway, what I love about this wheel is that dogs are allowed! I try to include my dog in as many social outings that he can go on to ensure he has experiences too. When the weather gets colder, it's much harder to find activities he can partake in so I was excited to learn that I didn't have to leave him at home when spending time with my nieces. The four of us purchased tickets at the venue and then headed to the queue. If you have small kids (or a small dog), there is a stroller parking area that you can place your stroller while you ride. It's not secure though so be sure to keep any valuables on your person. The line was short and we ended up with a swing all to ourselves. They are pretty roomy; the previous group had about 7 average sized to bigger sized adults and most of them could fit in one carriage (though not with much room to spare). In the summer this may be okay; the swings are temperature controlled. With the cold weather, I found the temperature to be a bit too warm. Particularly if you dress in many layers as I do, being bundled up in a swing with hot air blowing on you is pretty miserable. To ensure you get your money's worth, the ride is about 5-8 mins I think. You go around at a languid pace about 4x and the last 5th time is the longest as it stops to allow patrons to exit the swing. My dog did pretty well for his first time. He was a little nervous, but with soothing pets and holding him, he calmed down. Perhaps next time I'll bring some treats. He did have a bit of a spell toward the end when he had a birds eye view of people walking. Speaking of, the views from the wheel are quite nice. You can see the National Monument and others from up there. All in all, this is a nice outing! There are a ton of restaurants to eat afterward and around the holidays, they have a market. The latter had nothing of particular interest but it was nice to get out and walk around. While the outdoor space is super dog friendly, the restaurants did not appear to be so. The outdoor patios lacked any heating lamps, and therefore aren't suitable during cold weather. I also couldn't tell if dogs were allowed there. Perhaps your best bet is to have a couple of people and send one in to a fast food spot to bring food to sit near the courtyard (?) where films are shown.

There are mounds to climb, a three story slide, swings, etc. There's equipment for older kids and young kids like my 2-year-old daughter. 2) Fields: Nearby are several fields often used for soccer. My daughter loves watching people play soccer offering more entertainment. 3) View: Kids love that the Metro soars by nearby above ground and adults find it cool too! 4) Facilities: There are trash cans around, a party pavilion with outlets, and nice bathrooms with plenty of drinking water. 5) Kingman Island: Nearby is the entrance to Kingman Island, a man-made island in the Anacostia River with canoes, over 100 resident and migratory birds, and wooden bridges. We're averaging two trips a day here on the weekends. It's such a great area for families!

As I am always looking for a new playground during these times, I was aware of the fields at RFK…read moreand decided to finally check it on this past Wednesday. We arrived slightly after 2pm and there were more people there than I thought would be there. I quickly realized about half of those kids were a childcare group. Considering the overall playground area, this is definitely one of the best in not only DC but in the DMV area. It reminds me of the greatest hits of some of our favorite parks in NOVA: Fort Barnard, Mosaic Park, and Quincy Park (all in Arlington and worth visiting). My son loved the sports theme and naming the different balls. There are multiple slides: a roller slide, a small slide, medium slide, and a large tube slide. There are lots of "mountains " with and without rocks, bridges to climb, and various musical components. There's a two story merry-go-round, a couple one level ones, and multiple styles of swings. A separate part of the fields at RFK are the fields themselves. We spent some time on one kicking a soccer ball and throwing a football. There were no formal things going on except for what looked to be some organized kid movement class. A couple people practicing, another few just wrestling , and a few more walking. Of particular note, parking is readily available and the bathrooms are open. They have a changing room bathroom too. It only took about 20 minutes to get here, which is similar to some of the nicer parks in North Arlington, so I'd come here again for sure!
