REVIEW: Jump On In, Boonton NJ [with photos]
Jump On In is one of the latest bounce house places for kids that have opened up in the area. Kids love these places and they’re celebrating their anniversary this month too apparently.
The Boonton NJ location is a bit hidden amidst a set of commercial buildings, but it’s relatively close to the exit off Interstate 287. Just take Mrytle north about 1 miles and then it’s a quick left onto Fulton and you’ll veer left into the commercial zone. 85 Fulton St, Boonton NJ.
The facility is not huge, but it’s big enough if your kids are in their sweet spot, which I’d say is between 4 yrs old and 7 or 8 yrs old. There’s basically, two large rooms. If you’re having a birthday, they also have two party rooms. So if you can imagine it, they can run two parties at once, each one taking turns in one of the large bounce rooms and then switching and then party room to end.
Because it’s a relatively new facility, it’s clean and modern. You can take a look at the photos below to see what they have in store for the kids.
They have OPEN JUMPS which are open to the public, $10 per child — which is reasonable for the 1 1/2 hour sessions. Parents don’t pay anything here.
Not much for parents to do there – they do have some chairs on the side of each room for seating. No free wifi available, couldn’t find any open signals at all.
QUESTION: WHAT AGE IS THE UPPER LIMIT FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND THESE JUMPING FACILITIES?
Jump on in is one of the worst places I have been to with my 5 year old. The first room they let you into had only 3 things 2 do. She is not short but she is 5 and didn’t make the height by 1 inch to allow her to go on the only two fun things in the room. She did go on it in the beginning when there were no referees around. The didn’t come on duty for about 10 mins so all the kids were going down the slide and having fun. They allow little kids to go on the climbing ladder which is impossible to do unless a strong adult is holding it and even then she fell off and hit her chinon the ladder steps. I had 2 hear her complain the whole party that she had nothing to do. Referees were not friendly or nice. Had a too bad attitude.. They don’t make the rules. 2 referees for a party of 23 kids. Crazy.
Well, I have lived in this town for 9 years and have never heard this place untill now…
@BOB — probably because it is housed in an office/industrial zone. Many of these bouncy jump places do that since they need the buildout space and height in the actual venue building, and with a space that large, the rent needs to be cheaper than most city center retail spaces.
If you have kids, it is worth a visit.
