Theme & Amusement Parks in Leon Valley

Although Amazing Jump’s mission is to get children’s and adults’ heart rates pumping, not a single dumbbell or treadmill can be found inside its walls. Instead, brightly colored jumbo trampolines, padded dodge-ball courts, and themed inflatables fill the massive indoor facility, which combines fitness with fun by inviting jumpers of all ages to bounce with the vigor of a coffee-drinking kangaroo. A kiddie roller coaster, playroom, and inflatables keep the littlest climbers happy as their older siblings and parents face off on the basketball and dodge-ball courts or ricochet across two children’s trampolines and 10 oversize ones. Later, guests can catch their breath and exercise their opposable thumbs at the coin-operated arcade games before grabbing a pizza and a snack before heading back into the fray.

The phosphorescent indoor landscape at Monster Mini Golf immerses putters in an eerie universe that inverts the sun-soaked cheer of conventional courses. Rimmed in glowing green barriers, 18 holes lure swingers of all sizes to challenge their coordination and resolve in the face of winged monsters, scowling animated trees, a creepy clown, and their opponents' shockingly dazzling smiles. Sheltered from searing rain and howling wind, the indoor course enables play around hazards such as a spell well and luminous, ghostly windmill at any time of the year. An in-house radio station and DJ mask the sound of pounding hearts with lively beats and course commentary, and golfers looking for additional glory can win prizes by participating in regular contests or at the on-site arcade.

As the wakeboards, waterskies, and skateboards of The Texas Ski Ranch zoom about outside, the Spring Loaded Indoor Trampoline Park facility holds airborne activities of its own. Trampolines stretch across the more than 15,000-square-foot facility, pulsating beneath the socks of leaping, tumbling, and flipping adults and youngsters alike. The venue also houses inflatable bounce houses for tinier guests, and come Tuesday nights, colorful balls sail through the air during weekly dodge-ball games. The staff hosts birthdays throughout the year, along with Mommy and Me sessions and fitness classes.

One inch off the asphalt, roaring by at 65 mph. Because On Track Xperience houses a fleet of NasKarts powered by Honda engines, this kind of wind-in-your-hair action is possible. Helmets, of course, keep wind out of hair, though, while drivers 16 and older zip around Thunderhill Raceway's banked oval track. Each race burns up 10 laps and lasts about five minutes. Those looking to master their lap times can attend speed school and learn the ins and outs from a former pro racer and trainer. And those interested in a little competition can join eight-week racing leagues. Groups can also navigate the oval circuit for birthdays or corporate events that can accommodate up to 400 for team-building racing events where winners are showered in a business-card tickertape parade.

Incredible Pizza Company entertains young revelers with more than 100 games, more than 100 homestyle-buffet offerings, and four themed dining areas: a '50s–style diner, a drive-in movie theater, a family room, and a gymnasium. Guests can drive bumper cars and go-karts, play laser tag, or enjoy myriad arcade games, earning tickets that can be exchanged for toys and prizes. Between games, plates are graced with 8 to 10 varieties of pizza, as well as baked potatoes that can be dressed with custom toppings before loading into potato guns. Incredible Pizza Company also offers a variety of birthday packages, which include access to private rooms, food, balloon bouquets, and invitations.

At Extreme Fun, kids bounce in a 10,000-square-foot, climate-controlled play area replete with springy tunnels, slides, and obstacles. Youngsters can slam dunk in the giant bouncy basketball area, dart through the inflatable obstacle course, or demonstrate mastery with a compass rose while navigating the fiesta-themed maze. Inflatable celebration party packages accommodate parents and children in private rooms, allowing youngsters to celebrate a birthday, milestone, or Ponzi scheme in the company of loved ones or bilked acquaintances.
