I'm writing to express my love for the aerobics class at Jump America. I have lived in the Gurnee area for a few years and had been to Jump America for events with my children. It wasn't until last April that I heard about the aerobics class from a friend. I began attending then and haven't stopped. Not only is the work out amazing, but Dorothy, our leader, is so personable and passionate about fitness and our success. She constantly does research on nutrition and exercise to help improve the program. It is because of her and the workout that I continue to attend. The option to bring a child along is an added bonus. Thank you for that!! read more

Takes hour or more for your food they have limited seating and everything you try and order they are out of it.

they promote toddler time on social media as toddlers only, to play in a clean environment before opening to the public. We went today for toddler time, there were many older kids / teenagers jumping around. The place isn't cleaned either, many crumbs on the ground, crumbs on the trampolines, I'm not sure the place had actually ever been cleaned before let alone vacuumed. The arcade machines are also rigged and half are broken. Monopoly game had a broken screw in it so the dice wouldn't spin. ZR machine broken lol. There was never staff behind any desk to help out. When they do come out from the kitchen (where literally every staff member was) you're ignored. The place is ran by teenagers, how are there no adults or adult managers? the "manager" when i told him how dirty the place was said "sorry for the inconvenience" ????? ****THEYVE NOW BLOCKED ME ON FB AND DELETED ALL OF MY COMMENTS ON THEIR POST ABOUT TODDLER TIME**** guess what you can't delete? google and yelp reviews :) :) read more

Absolutely terrible experience at Krave inside Launch Gurnee. People were waiting up to 1 hour and 45 minutes just for pizzas. The kitchen is tiny--they really should only offer slices--but when customers asked for slices, staff said they had to buy whole pizzas instead. My friend ordered mini donuts, and even though she literally saw them come out of the oven in under a minute, she still waited over an hour to actually get them. I ordered breadsticks, and they still weren't ready even after the fundraiser jump time ended. My friend, who was handling the food orders, had to go back and get a refund. Terrible, terrible, terrible. Would not recommend at all. read more

Needs more seating. Could use a bench or 2 by the ramp going up, as well on the opposite end near the exit by the party rooms. Went during mlk day and had 2/3 groups sharing a table, same with seats. Music is good, with the ceiling lighting might be helpful if you can run a cable to add a game or 2 on the 2nd story. Omni arcade seems like a cool idea but wasn't running at this moment a when you have so many people missed opportunity to had it up or something else in it's location. read more

I went here for a party for my 6 year old and 4 year old daughter's. From the very beginning I could tell it was about to be a disaster. It was crowded and the check in was a nightmare no one instructed me on who would be our host or where even to be seated or how the events would go..... that wasn't the worst part it was filled with many teenagers who didn't have parents with them they were all just wreaking havoc until it reached its boiling point and SEVERAL fights broke out. We watched a kid be tased it was a situation I had to remove my children from police was coming in by the dozens! I thought I was in a movie how things played out our pizza was rubbery, the fries were NOT cooked thoroughly & the worst part was we wasn't informed the room we were going in floor was wet and there was no wet floor sign they told us to go into the room and my 4 year old fell so hard and hit her head! I was super over this place it took forever to get anything done! it's sooooo many things that happened within this day I literally don't feel like naming them all. I won't ever come back unfortunately but I hope they have a serious policy change. Telling me you allowed 17 parties to be booked in one day knowing you didn't have the staff or will power to accommodate screams failure allowing teenagers in by the grove without adult supervision screams a disaster. read more

Was our first visit to the new launch. We attended the VIP sensory friendly time with our autistic son and the staff couldn't have been more nice and accommodating. Ace at the front counter was awesome and so helpful and friendly. We will definitely be going back next month for VIP time. read more

We hosted a birthday party here and the experience was amazing! We had an awesome party hostess, Liliana who catered to our every need. She was professional, organized and prepared which meant a lot to us. She kept us informed on every step of the party and went out of her way to make sure our daughter's party was a huge success! I recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great personal experience!! Thanks again to Liliana!! read more

This place is not doing well. Came here for a birthday party. Building feels like there is no air conditioning on. Kids are jumping around and honestly it's concerning, someone is going to have a heat stroke. Very little staff, so the obstacles are not being attended and kids are running around bowing disrespectful and wild without anyone in control, so the few parents that are hanging around are having to try and regulate so their own children can at least try the obstacle once or twice. Decided to try an overpriced milkshake, it was about 90% milk and that's it. Tried to have them remake it, but they had no clue what to do. They brought a manager over, who is also a young teenager and I could tell the poor thing was overwhelmed. She told me it was going to be at least 10 minutes to remake it. She began to "vent" to me how understaffed she was and she was having to work in the back herself just to complete orders. Saw a couple staff just wondering around with there cell phones in their hands, open to instagram or something. I'm not a Karen type so I didn't say anything but I definitely won't be back and for sure would not recommend this place for a party. In a nutshell, this place is a disaster and for it to be just opened, it is definitely not together. read more

It was terrible. I spent 50 dollars for 2 kids with their minimum entry (2 hrs for 19.99) bought socks etc. we went in and it was run down, and half of the things were not working. We tried to play but 10 mins was too much. I went to ask if we could get a refund and we didn't. My kids did not like it so we left. 50$ down the drain. read more

Pretty nice spot. I love the package deals on activities that includes food if you so choose. Good pizza like blaze where u can build it. Bar is good with good drinks not too overpriced. Would definitely return to let my kids enjoy all the different activities read more

I am in tears right now while at THE LAUNCH TRAMPOLINE IN GURNEE, ILLINOIS. I am sitting here in tears because of the kindness, and respect shown to me, at 73 years old by these young employees, and yes I asked all of them to give me their names, YAMI, KOURTNEE, MELINA, HOPE, SYDNEY, AND DAKOTA. I am at THE LAUNCH every weekend from Kenosha, WI with my Godson who is 13 years old living with a disability. They rallied around him today and made sure he was totally taken care of with what he wanted to do at THE LAUNCH today. He wanted to JUMP, AND PLAY ON THE ARCADES, DAKOTA, bless her heart told him he could play as much as he wanted, and everyone else told him to see them if he needed help with ANYTHING. Every single time I go to THE LAUNCH GURNEE, ILLINOIS the care and concern to make sure my Godson has a wonderful time is truly amazing to me. Please, please, please if anyone reading this review if you are looking for a fun, safe place to take your child/children, and adults please take them to the Launch to experience the joy of a lifetime. I pray you are taken care of by the above staff members, for you will get a "red carpet" treatment! Thank you owners of THE LAUNCH for your hiring practices in staffing your establishment with the most caring, loving, kind employees ever!! Sincerely, Julia Witherspoon read more

I don't see the hype in this place. It's an overly-priced, run-downed facility that has no business charging customers the fees that they do. The trampolines were dirty. I saw food crumbs, dead bugs and random paint chips. The need to remove photos advertising foam pits as they clearly have none. I'm so disappointed and will make it a point to discourage people I know from going. read more

I was thrilled to learn that there were so many brand-new activities available for kids to try at the newly renovated Launch Trampoline Park. Sadly, my kids' joy quickly turned to tears when teenagers shoved younger kids away from the basketball area. After repeatedly attempting to play, the guys continued rejecting her and told her, "You can't play here," according to my daughter, who came to me in tears. The Lauch staff in charge of the play area ignored her when she raised this concern with them. We then went to the front desk and they didn't offer any help. The entrance fee included access to the entire activities in the Launch Trampoline park, but with no supervision of other kids being bullies and excluding the little kids. I will not suggest this Trampoline to anyone with kids. The staff didn't care to make the Trampoline enjoyable for everyone and kids of all ages. Unless there is more equitable access to the trampoline park for all kids, of all ages and staff listen to concerns and act on them, I do not suggest this park to any family with kids. read more

First time here and I was impressed at how clean it was.The staff were friendly.It's really fun but there is not much to do there is dodge Ball,foam pits,and arcade games. read more

Extremely over priced for the unorganized and chaotic party we received for my daughters 9th birthday. The kids had fun but I wouldn't recommend for a birthday party. I would go back to hang out but I wouldn't pay that price for what we received. I still tipped my party host although I'm not sure it was well deserved. read more

Jump aerobics is the BOMB!!!! Holy cow, I had no clue! I thought it would be some low impact, fun to bounce around and try just once, but I'm hooked! You may find this hard to believe, but it was probably the most intense cardio workout I have ever done ( besides hiking highland bow in Apsen). I'm an avid runner and pretty fit, and this has left me almost unable to move the next day, no really....ouch.... Four of us went and when we first got onto the trampolines we were immediately 8 years old. SOO FUN! GO! Even if you've never been to a class, try it! Dorothy the instructor is rad. We will be back for sure. P.s-if your curious, the class was mainly women, (we brought the only 2 guys but they loved it!) and I would guess late 20's and 30's. read more

Launch Family Entertainment - Jump aerobics is a blast!! - Trampoline Parks Near Me - Gurnee, Illinois

Staff was incredibly rude from the entrance to the people taking the food order. The place is so small and there is not enough seating to accommodate the guests. Pizza was disgusting. There needs to be a sign at the front door that clearly states the need to complete the waiver so people don't stand in line waiting just to be told to go back and fill out a waiver then stand at the back of the line again. I'm hoping for better organized and kinder staff because this can be a great place for families. Right now it feels like the owners are putting the bare minimum in this business just to maximize profits. read more

Jump America added some couches which is great! Not quite on par with The Tree House but still a nice addition. Unfortunately, parents don't have much of a chance to use them because the kids seem to sit on them most of the evening while playing in their phones. read more

We had my grandsons bday party here. Paid over 750$ The host forgot our balloons, several of the token cards did not work so parents were paying for their children to play games. The host & the manager did not appear to care. They gave us some free admission to jump for a future visit. In other words, come back and spend more money because they know your child will want to play games. Extremely disappointed ~ read more

Gets boring very fast. Not much to do, there is pretty much only 2 things to do alone. Foam pit and trampolines. There is also dodgeball but it's not really open because the place is rarely busy. There is also the hamster ball and Wipe Out. But they both cost 4$ each. For 15$, It is not worth it. read more

We take our grandson here a lot. Always greeted warmly by the staff - mostly local college students. The facility is very clean and well supervised. Parking is convenient. My impression is that everyone feels welcome there and having been there 50+ times, we only experienced one incident where kids were acting out - and the managers handled it promptly and professionally. They've announced major renovations/upgrades in the near future - I'm sure it will be even better after that happens. read more

i had my daughters birthday party here, it was absolutely amazing my party host was liliana and she was just phenomenal absolutely loved her! 10/10 would recommend read more

I took my daughter her for her birthday along with a couple friends and her siblings. We all loved it! I thought at first nah im not going to jump on the trampoline, im to old for that. I was wrong i had a ball! Unfortunately i jumped and split my new pants right down the middle. (no one ever said h&m was quality over price..smh) However i kept on playing and jumping. They have multiple courts for jumping a small area and a large area. They also have 2 foam ball pits and 2 dodge ball pits. I will warn you. You will get hot, you will sweat...and you will smell feet! lol but the fun factor outweighs that by 1000. Please make sure to bring a towel to wipe your sweat off and to be cost effective bring your own drinks.....water...gatorade...ect. I had fun im sure you will as well. read more

Took the kids here in a rainy day. Pretty large facility. The kids loved this place & were tuckered out after all the jumping. The price wasn't bad for an hour of jumping($12 per kid). When you first walk in you go to one of the 2 computers against a wall & register you & all the kids-pretty simple but if there's a lot of people trying to get in you might end up waiting a bit-they might wanna get a few more computers if that's the case. They use wrist bands for the kids entry on trampolines- just confused how they know you've been there for your full hour? If they just base it off "on the hour" monitoring then I would suggest making sure you don't show up midhour. Lots of birthday parties going on & tons of kids but no one was on top of each other. They are open pretty late so I am curious if older kids or adults frequent this place for a unique fun night? Gotta look into that lol! If it's crappy out & need to burn of some kids energy check this place out. read more

Took the kids here for Labor Day weekend because weather called for rain. All 8 kids ages 2-19 had a blast! It's nice that the jump areas are sectioned off by ages so the little ones do not get bumped into. Very large, a lot of areas to keep every one busy. Dodge ball, foam pit, basketball, & free jump. Plus a handful of arcade games, snacks & water is also available. Taking away 1 star because I stepped on gum on the main floor while barefoot - that was gross! All & all great place to bring the kids. Well worth the hour drive to get there. read more

This place is a dream come true! Remember when you were a kid and you could join join a gymnastic class JUST to get to jump into the foam pit at the end of it? Don't remember this? Well now you can! It took us a cool 45 minutes to get to Jump America from the North side of Chicago and the drive was beautiful to boot! This trampoline-oasis is nestled in the un-assuming confines of your typical suburban business park. I had so much fun bouncing around, I started day-dreaming about moving to Gurnee and doing this every week! We were a group of four 20-somethings and by far the oldest people there. Ideally, this space could be rented out for older crowds so as not to scare any of the kids and their parents. My only complaint is how sore I am going to be tomorrow- I am definitely not nine years old any more but the dream lives on. read more

First time and was impressed with the staff and how clean it was. Only thing was we went right when they opened with a child and they didn't have all areas opened. It's pricey so for the amount of money we paid for one hour that would have been better. But we will most definitely go again. Plan though it's pricey read more

Paid over $35 for two people and half the park wasn't even open at 4:30 PM. We weren't allowed to play dodgeball by ourselves but were told to play with the little kids that were there which should definitely be considered a safety hazard given that my partner and I are over 23 years old. When we said we'd be uncomfortable and didn't want to accidentally hurt one of the kids, the staff member shrugged and said "oh well." There was a bloody bandaid on the ground of one of the only two areas that were open. I've been to a couple trampoline parks and this one was easily the worst. Just wasted my money and left after 15ish minutes because only two sections were even open. I'd find a different place to go if I were you. There are a few in the area. read more

We rented the facility for a private event last night. What a great deal! My children (and their classmates) were thrilled to have the entire place to themselves. Gustavo, the manager attending to us was very professional, kind, understanding and overall very impressive! The safety precautions were all appropriate and the cleanliness was obviously a priority there too. I would highly recommend private events for anyone with a group of children for a safe, yet totally fun two hours! read more

I love coming here and I it was so much fun and the trampoline is so much that I don't know what to say.

After wanting to do something fun for my nephews (2&5) me and my mother decided to take them to Jump America. While having an an enjoyable most of the trip. It came to an abrupt end because of bullying. While in the small pin my younger nephew basically stays to himself while the other one was eager to find friends. After about a hour in a half we noticed a little boy kicking my nephew then proceed to hit him in the head with a oversized balloon. My mom wanted to say something to the child but I thought it'd best to say something to the parent who is responsible for the child so they could handle it. I proceed to go over by them an acknowledge the fact that the child they brought was terrorizing my nephew and other children. The cousin I'm assuming starts to apologize while there parent gets offended and starts to question me and say I'm lying. I've never met adult who'd want to lie about a child's behavior especially since we're in a environment where you're supposed to watch your own children. She asks the little boy if he was hitting my nephew and he proceeds to lie and run away from her. She then ask my nephew and he nervously doesn't give her a answer and runs away because he's a TODDLER. After that she decides it's best to argue. And I tell her as a parent & adult we're supposed to be the ones to set the example and have them apologize. Continuing to argue she says I'm lying and shouldn't tell her how to parent. I then go get my nephews safely away and start getting ready to leave. Once coated I explained the situation to the manager and he tells me that that's not the first complaint about the family and particular child that night and I should have came earlier even though the incident had happened less then 5 minutes prior. He then goes to review the tap and comes back with incentives for "next time" we come. Which I would not do because if there's flyers around the building saying bullying is not accepted and they will be removed and that doesn't happen that doesn't make me feel like it's a safe place for children. Me and my sister discussed the situation and decided this is a place that we're just going to have to take off the list of field trips for the boys. Also this happened with no employee supervision but there was employees at all other pins but the youths pin. I hope they find better ways to handle physical abuse situations before more families have to go through the same experience. read more

This was probably one of the worse places I could've taken my kids to for a family day. They have a toddler time that supposedly starts at a certain time. 45 minutes into that time nobody opened the area until I brought it up. The workers DO NOT do their job. My son was jumping in the toddler section and someone kept jumping in the same square as him. After me telling the other child to stop the woman who's supposed to be supervising didn't even look their way or blow her whistle or did close to basically nothing. Eventually this kid fell on my child and ended up giving my 3 year old a sprained ankle. Again the woman didn't blow her whistle or even look our way. When I went to go tell the manager he tried to turn it on me. Said I was "texting and not paying attention" when my cell phone was in my car dead. Horrible Establishment Horrible Employees Horrible Management We won't be coming back. read more

quick summary: okay place with too many rules/bad trampolines that take the FUN out of it.. Warning: there are these blue "pads" in between each individual trampoline that hurts a LOT when you mistakenly land on it.. and you WILL because they are too wide and the trampolines are too small.. put some cushion on that Jump America, i'm sure many are hurting themselves! AAAAND you're not even allowed to double bounce (or "launch") anybody.. actually you can't really do it even if you wanted because the trampoline squares are way too small, along with the rock hard "pads" in between each square... Lame-o. and i don't have a negative agenda at all.. i was very, very excited to go to Jump America for real. i'm 22 years old and brought to of my friends who were equally excited... and to be honest we were all let down. like it's hard to be yourself and act like nobody is watching when you have these creepy "court monitors" just literally standing their staring at you, not moving. i'm all about spiritual freedom, and it's hard to enjoy this place... -unnecessary rules -small/dangerous trampolines -overly strict monitoring ... i'll now look elswhere. :) Christ is King -Jessica read more
