Plex HiWire - Columbia, Columbia

Voted Best Place for a Child's Birthday Party by The State in 2017, Plex HiWire features thousands of square feet of family-friendly fun. Taking up a large portion of that space, its trampoline park encompasses more than 60 bouncy surfaces, including springy dodgeball courts and launch pads that send jumpers flying into soft foam pits. And its Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course feels like an attraction unto itself, complete with Tarzan ropes, fireman poles, and its own foam pits, which save limbs but not egos from getting bruised in competition.

Other activities include:

• A roller-skating rink where visitors can glide and twirl to music from the '70s, '80s, and '90s
• An arcade featuring interactive games that spew out tickets, which players can redeem for prizes
• Jumping Jacks Bounce House Park, an 8,000-square-foot area filled with inflatables, including 11 big bounce houses
• Sector X, a laser-tag arena with an outer-space theme, where players complete missions clad in glow-in-the-dark gear
