Attractions at Urban Air Adventure Park
Urban Adventure Park is a mash-up of your favorite playgrounds, trampoline parks, and Ninja Warrior challenges all in one. Here are the attractions you’ll find:
Adventure Hub | This includes a zipline, ropes course, and tubes indoor playground.
Climbing Walls | Have a climber on your hands? This is heaven! My daughter could have spent the entire time climbing and challenging herself.
Ropes Course | Challenge yourself at great heights! This course challenges your balance and agility. Parents, this is a great activity to do with your kiddos! Of course, everyone is safely secured.
Leap of Faith | Monte had a blast trying this over and over again. He almost made it a couple of times! A fun challenge if you want to build up your courage.
ProZone Performance Trampolines | Monte was in awe watching the other kids bounce in this area. I encouraged him to give it a try! He had some trouble getting to the top, but a sweet kid helped him get up there so he could experience the fall.
Warrior Course | You could find both kids in the warrior course the majority of the time and even mom gave it a try! There were about five courses available with different experience levels, and that did not stop my kids. They tried all the levels several times. I think the highlight was falling into the large, clear ball pit!
Wipeout | This is a fun challenge! Grab the entire family and see who is the last to survive. Jump or duck to make sure you do not get hit by the cushioned bar.
Meet the Bowl | If you have younger kiddos, The Bowl is the perfect place for them to jump without all the big kids around. This area is designated for 7 years or younger. They also offer a seating area nearby so you can watch.
Battle Beam | Another great way to challenge your balance and strength. If you lose, you fall into a large foam pit.
APEX Trampolines | Get all your bouncing out in this area. Bounce off the walls, do flips, and more. This was pure heaven for my little aspiring gymnast.
Tubes Playground | A playground, because why not?! This playground/obstacle course offers multi-level tubes, slides, and more. A ton of fun for anyone 52 inches or shorter.
Dodgeball | Who does not love dodgeball?! And adding dodgeball to a bunch of trampolines makes it even more fun. There is a whole designated area for this super fun game.
DropZone is another favorite for my little gymnast. The perfect place to practice your flips and spins.
Slam Dunk Zone | Become your favorite NBA star and practice basketball in this fun area. Jump to the sky and slam dunk!
Tumble Track | Obviously, if you have a gymnast in your family or an aspiring gymnast, Urban Air Adventure Park is the place to be. The Tumble Track is another great place to practice your jumps and flips.

Know Before You Go

- Create a “base” before your kids go off to play. It can get super busy, so if your child knows where to find you, it will help. I definitely felt comfortable letting my kids run off and play. There are employees everywhere who are super helpful and encouraging.
