Not a big fan of kid parties but this one was well done. We don't know what to expect other than just two hours of bouncy houses but this one was interesting because you experience two different rooms. I don't want to spoil it but this kiddos had so much fun. The party room was well organized and plenty of seating for adults.

Although they were very helpful for the party, this tip is ridiculous. They can't do math.

We recently hosted a party at Pump It Up. We were a very taken aback by the gratuity guidance. Our total bill was $840, and we were told that a 12% tip should be $188.21, which is actually almost 23%!! Also, while the pizza was good, the veggie and fruit platters were just okay--not quite as fresh or plentiful as we expected for the price. The staff was kind, helpful, and very attentive. They helped cut and serve the cake, handled the food smoothly, and kept everything organized, which we really appreciated. The kids had a great time and the pizza was pretty good.

Rotten salad that they served us at the party.

Just had a birthday party for my son today. I usually love Pump It Up, but this location was a really disappointing experience compared to other branches. The staff here were way too strict, to the point where it affected the kids' experience. We had one child with a milk allergy who couldn't eat the pizza that was provided, and we brought a small snack just for that child so they wouldn't be left out. Even after explaining the situation, the staff refused to let that one kid have their own snack and told us that if we "broke the rule," we'd be charged an extra $250. That felt completely unreasonable and insensitive. On top of that, the food they served wasn't fresh. We ordered an extra side salad and fruit, and our guests complained that the salad was rotten. We told the staff, and although they removed the charge, it still shouldn't have happened in the first place. Another thing that really surprised us was at the end of the party -- the staff were collecting every single balloon from the balloon drop so they could reuse them. The kids were disappointed because they thought they could take one home. It honestly felt like they were cutting costs everywhere while still raising fees. And honestly, for more than $1,000 for a kids' birthday party, I expected much better. Overall, we were not impressed at all and would not recommend this location. The Pump It Up in Santa Clara is much better -- the staff there are more involved, friendlier, organized, and actually make the celebration feel special. Unfortunately, this location was the complete opposite.

rock climbing wall

we came in for an open jump planning to let our 1 year old roam and crawl freely. i didn't realize they had soft play blocks for her to climb on, which was such a nice surprise. i was also impressed with how clean the floor was. definitely our new go-to place for raining days. one thing to note is that the staff isn't responsible for watching your children (just like anywhere else). i do wish they offered a 2 & under open jump time to help prevent older kids from accidentally knocking over the little ones. (hopefully someone actually sees & takes note of this) we will be returning though!

My little love with her beautiful birthday decorations in Pump it up San Jose

My little five girl Amy was so happy with her birthday party at Pump it Up. The glow jumping in the dark was so wonderful and every kid loved it! At the beginning, the staff explained the safety rule . Then all the friends cheered with the birthday kid before entering the room. There were two play rooms there. The first one was regular light and the very very long slide was the most popular. The second room was glow dark room and the kids enjoyed this kind of mysterious environment. After the all time playing with different kinds of trampolines, it came the delicious food. Their pizza and chicken wings were so delicious. Different flavors of drinks you can choose. We love lemonade best. And we brought our own birthday cake and they can help to keep in their refrigerator. Birthday song, birthday cake, and birthday goodie bags... Two hours full of fun time! Perfect! Laila and her team members can help the parents to take care of all the party preparations. Before the party, they called to double confirm and were very responsible and helpful during the whole party! Thanks to you all!

First visit to a Pump It Up for GK#2's 6th Birthday Party. Sam was our Party host and he did a great job. Located in a strip mall, the facility appears clean and well maintained. The bouncy castles are in good shape without obvious wear. Like a party assembly line, the kids gathered in the lobby, where the safety rules were discussed then the kids and adults were schlepped into the first playroom with3 large bouncy castles. After about 35-40 mins the party moved to a 2nd playroom with 3 other bouncy play structure's and a balloon drop. Balloon drop proved to be popular. After a group picture, the group moved to the party room where birthday treats were served. Well organized. Employees were friendly and kind to the kids. On the pricier side, but not totally out of line with other birthday venues in the area.

Is there any way to get in contact with someone? I've been trying to call for a week now with no pickup and when it goes to voicemail, it says voicemail box full.

Please send an email to piusanjose@gmail.com with your contact information. Typically staff is able to answer questions between 10am and 12:30pm in the mornings and from 4pm to 7pm in the evening. Please leave a voice message if your phone call… 

Is this age appropriate for age 2y,3m? They are about 34" in height so will meet that requirement.

Is this place safe for a 3 year old? Seems like it's more appropriate for the bigger kiddies.

Pump It Up is age appropriate for 3 years old. The best way to experience it for the first time is by attending an open play session on a school day ie. not a holiday ( less kids ). Pls check Pump It Up event calendar for Open play sessions

What you'd expect of an indoor play area in a crowded mall. Clean enough, the kids were…read moreentertained so parents can have some alone time to scroll through phones. I brought my daughter and friends' kids, age range 4-9 years old, and they all had a good time. Relatively pricey rates per hour, though more reasonable if you purchase multiple hours or monthly (?) passes. Claw games inside are gimmicks so be sure to skip--for example, a claw game full of balls, but the balls are too heavy to be even slightly picked up by the claw. The entrance has some coin machines if you want to get the kids a trinket, however they're also covered by people waiting in line in the narrow entry, because there are also a ton of strollers blocking all the cubby holes. They give color coded wristbands to keep track of how much time folks have left, though it's not precise, which I understand but didn't appreciate. We were only there 45min when they called our color wristband on the speaker.

It is your problem. Call a plumber and snake the pipes. Also, this place is starting to age. The flooring is bubbling in places which is making a real tripping hazard. It's also just dirty! There were hairballs and other dirt and grim on the floor. For the price, not worth it. We won't be back.

Here you will make your very own customized slime creation or you can opt to buy pre-made slime kits. The entire process consists of 10 steps: 1) Choosing your type of slime. There are 6 different options: CLEAR, ICEE, CLASSIC, BUTTER, CLOUD, AND THICK + GLOSSY 2) Picking your slime scent. Options vary from fruit loops, tropical, candy crush, snickerdoodle, plumeria, + monkey farts [just to name a few]. 3) Pick your slime color. 4) Mixing the slime with your choice of scent and color. 5) Adding activator to find your preferred level of stickiness. 6) Adding Glitter + Shine. 7) Adding Foam Products 8) Adding Sprinkle Fun Mixes 9) Play with your slime. Squish, punch, pull , and stretch it to your desires. 10) Prepare to package up you creation and top your slime off with your choice of charms. Reservations are not required and the establishment offers private parties/celebrations. This process from start to finish can be quick or prolonged, depending on how much time you have or what you want. There have been instances where the process took my child 15 mins and others where she would linger for 45 mins or so. The staff here is always friendly and they take time to listen to their little clients. On a few occasions, including yesterday's recent visit, Ms. Emma was the employee to assist and interacted with my toddler. I appreciate her creating conversations, being patient, and uplifting my child during the entire process. Slime creating is a bit costly but the fun and confidence my child has when she exits the establishment is well worth it.
