List o' fun-- Bounce, Bounce, Bounce Around

This is going to be a 3 for one post.  There are lots of places around town that have the inflatable bounce houses.  Who doesn't love to bounce around a little bit?

Here are three places we've been to and my thoughts on each.

PUMP IT UP
We've been to pump it up the most.  It's located at  8200 Business Way, Plain City, OH.  They have open play on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 to 11:30.  It's $7 for the first child.  (There is a discount for the second child, but I never have one, so I can't quite remember what it is.  I think it's $4).  You must wear socks.  They usually have 3 to 4 inflatables set up and they rotate out which ones they are, so it's not always the same.  I like that.  Usually there is an attendant on duty.  However, the last time we went, there wasn't and some of the moms were not watching their kids.  That can happen anywhere though.

ALL the places have this GIANT slide!

This one was new this time... not really sure what the point was, but the kids had fun!

An obstacle course

SPORTS OHIO
Another place with inflatables is Sports Ohio.  Sports Ohio is located at 6134 Cosgray Rd, Dublin Oh. Sports Ohio is huge and has a variety of different things to do depending on the year.  They have mini golf, soccer, classes to sign up for, and of course, and open gym.  Their open gym doesn't happen as often as some places. It's best to check their website for details.  It costs $7 as well.  We've only been to one open gym.  We played on the inflatables and some basketballs.  It wasn't my favorite, and we probably won't go back since there are so many other options.  It smelled like cat pee to me.  There were lots of big kids (on a school day???) that weren't following the rules and sort of ruining it for Little Man.  I didn't get any pictures.  We have, however, done their mini golf before and that's not too bad.

KINGDOM OF BOUNCE
Kingdom of bounce is relatively new to the area.  It's located at 2152 Citygate Drive, Columbus, OH.  It's over by Easton and the airport.   It is open every day as opposed to the others.  It's open play times are also longer--from 10 to 2 and from 4 to 8.  It is $7 for the first kid an $3 for the second.  You must wear socks.  It had 6 inflatables, 2 being giant slides, so 5 different options to choose from.  They had an attendant on duty and were striving to keep the place clean.  It was less crowded, which made it more enjoyable.  

We went for the first time last week and I had Michael join us.  Little Man kept him BUSY! :)
