Jump or Bounce
Trampoline and inflatable bounce centers are just what active kids need for a dose of fun, indoors. Not only can they jump for joy but they can also immerse themselves in fluffy foam pits, play bounce dodge ball & basketball, climb and tackle the ninja warrior course. These bounce parks offer birthday parties, special events (hello, neon nights and character bounces), camps and more so it's not a bad idea to stay in the know. Little ones can attend dedicated toddler times too. Take family time to a new level!

Amusement Parks & Large Attractions
Looking for a full day adventure that's spectacular? Try these amusement parks. While Legoland Westchester caters to a younger crowd, and probably not a full day excursion (maybe combine it with Rockin Jump which is right next door), a trip to the American Dream is an experience worth traveling for.
