In the past, air-filled bounce castles were a privilege enjoyed exclusively by NASA astronauts in training and barons evicted from regular castles. Make inflatable games an attainable treat for any occasion with today's deal: for $25, you get five pop-in playtime passes (up to a $50 value) at Pump It Up. This Groupon can be redeemed for one visit with a gaggle of five children or for five visits with one child. Choose one of the following nine locations, and be sure to check out each website for availability and age requirements: Chicago, Schaumburg, Elmhurst, Glenview, Orland Park, Vernon Hills, Lisle, Crystal Lake, or Gurnee.
Inside a safe, clean, and climate-controlled environment, Pump It Up stores an indoor bonanza of gigantic, inflatable playgrounds anxious to be body-slammed by a child. During the 90-minute pop-in visits, kids strap on a mandatory pair of socks, then release pent-up fun by zooming down air-filled slides, leaping around colossal bounce houses, and running, jumping, or diving through multiple obstacle courses. Parents bounce for free during pop-ins, so childless adults who want to play will need to borrow their babysitting ward or shrink themselves by drinking baby formula.
Reviews
Seven Yelpers give the Glenview location a solid three stars and the Chicago branch 4.5 stars:
- My daughter was at a birthday party here last year and she LOVED it. She couldn't wait for her birthday because she wanted it at this place. – Theresa M., Chicago location
- Looking at the state of the equipment, it was clean and well-maintained. The rubber material of the inflatables was clean, without all the ingress dirt of the rentable bouncy houses you see at block parties or festivals. – Mike O., Glenview location
- Great for little kids. Even greater for big kids! – Carol M., Chicago location
Pump It Up
Pump It Up's indoor arenas are filled with huge inflatables and interactive attractions. The Super Star team supervises and entertains the kids during visits, and parents are always free and encouraged to jump, bounce, slide and play with the kids. Ask about the Glow experience—a kid favorite.
The colorful venue also hosts custom birthday parties and private team parties, each themed to please the partygoers in question. These soirees immerse children in a schedule of interactive activities befitting a pirate or a superhero. The birthday boy or girl even gets to blow out the candles on their cake seated in their blow-up throne. Relying on the staffers' vigilant, watchful eyes, guardians can rest assured that their children will be safe, and each piece of the inflatable playground is held to the floor by a complex series of anchors installed according to strict safety standards.
