Urban Air Adventure Park South Austin, Austin

Kids often drive their parents up the wall, but at Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park, they can climb up the walls all on their own.

At locations across the country, trampolines line the floors and walls of enormous open spaces, offering several zones for visitors to jump, flip, and fall softly into hunks of foam or a giant airbag. Activities vary at each location, ranging from the Apex—a wide, sprawling space for freeform leaping—to the Bowl, a narrow pit designed for off-the-wall mayhem.

Many parks have slam-dunk arenas and dodgeball courts, where kids and adults can compete in familiar games without being weighed down by gravity's boring rules. Some include the Urban Warrior Obstacle Course that tests speed, agility, and stamina, while others boast Warrior Battle Beams, where visitors show off their balance and strength.

This rich variety of activities has earned Urban Air a bevy of awards, including Best Place to Take Energetic Kids from FortWorthChild magazine and one of the Coolest Clubs in America from Shape magazine.
