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?
We had a chance to get away from a spring break weekend break this past week down at the Mount Laurel CoCoKeys Water Resort. If you’re a parent of a toddler through elementary school aged child, you should really know about CoCo Keys.
It’s located right off the NJ Turnpike at the Mt Laurel Marriott (attached on the same property). Most times you can book a “Water Package” stay at the Marriott for $200 or so that includes one night and water park passes for the entire family for *both* the day of arrival and the day of departure — two full days of water park fun. The park is open from 10am to 10pm most days, so you’ll have plenty of water time.
Here’s what the seating area inside the water park area looks like:
But wait, there’s more! On the second floor over part of the facility . . . Read more…
