We visited this indoor trampoline park today for the second time. The first time we came with a group of children ranging from age 2 - 13 and this time we came with one other child age 2.
Skyzone contains over 30 individual trampolines in separated areas for people of all ages to bounce and spin both up and down and off the sides from the trampolines against the walls.
There are long trampolines for the more experienced bouncer to preform back and front flips or cartwheels.
There is an area where dodge ball is played and another area containing three basketball hoops for a slam dunk bounce, this area has different hoop heights making it accessible for various ages.
There is also a pit filled with large blocks of soft foam for kids to flip and dive into from one of four trampolines.
Skyzone hosts various events including parties, homeschool bounce events, exercise classes and night glow in the dark events.
Overall I WOULD go again for an occasional treat and WOULD recommend for children and adults of all ages. This is a 30 min - 2 hour activity
As rated by a 12 year old:
9/10 = I really enjoyed it, especially the trampolines for cartwheels and the foam pit as I could do flips into the foam. I didn't do the dodge ball as there were a lot of older kids and I felt intimidated. I enjoyed the hoops and managed to get the ball through all three! I did feel this was a lot more fun the first time we went when we stayed longer and we were with lots of kids we knew. I didn't think it was nearly as fun with no kids I knew my age and did think the little kids ran across the trampolines for the flips without anyone stopping them which was annoying.
Overall I WOULD go again with friends and WOULD recommend for my age.
As rated by a 7 year old:
9/10 = Its really fun and I like jumping off the walls. I like the foam pit but it can be hard to get out of. I also thought it should be a longer time to jump.
Overall I WOULD go again and WOULD recommend for my age.
As rated by a two year old:
10/10 = He had a lot of fun running across trampolines and bouncing. He loved the foam pit and did not want to come back in from it.
He WOULD go again and WOULD recommend for his age.
TOP TIPS:
- Eat before you go as it's not cheap
- Pay for longer time to get better value for money
- Look for online deals or special events
- If you have skyline socks keep them in the car so you don't have to pay for new ones next time.

There are various tables available on an upper and lower level, canteen and lockers costing a dollar for single use (can not go in and come out and go in again). You can not bring in your own food and drink.
** They have since updated the slides and activities to make it more of an obstical course in places. This is a good improvement.
Overall as a parent I rate it:
7/10 = Great for burning off energy on a cold or wet day! The kids enjoyed the trampolines on the wall as well as the foam pit and my oldest enjoyed doing cartwheels on the long trampolines. I had a go at the hoops which was fun.
There is no doubt this is a fun place... However rating this as a parent... paying $10 for each child for only 30 minutes is not a winner! The time starts as soon as you pay but by the time your shoes are off and the special sky zone socks are on you have more like 20-25 minutes.
You can opt to pay more for longer: $14 for one hour, $18 for 90 mins $22 for two hours, making it a better deal however if money is a concern... it is expensive for what you get.
The long trampolines on both occasions appeared to appeal to teens and even adults, however little ones are in the same area and there were times they ran across these preventing the older bouncers from being able to play. As a mother of a toddler and a tween I tried to keep my little one away from this but it was impossible at times. There is a large curtain that can be pulled to separate the little people from the large but this did not happen on either occasion we were there despite and employee watching what was happening.
I also felt charging a non refundable $1 for the locker on top of the high entrance fee and $2 for each pair of socks (which you can keep and use again) is cheeky. For three children the total (with socks and locker) is $37 for 1/2 hour of play or $49 for an hour! As a TREAT this is a fun place to come but time limits and prices make it more expensive than many other places that I feel are just as fun.Overall I WOULD go again for an occasional treat and WOULD recommend for children and adults of all ages.
