The Scoop on Jumpsters

EDUCATIONAL & ACTIVE INFLATABLE ENTERTAINMENT WITH A SIDE SALAD AND SPICED PUMPKIN LATTE

Occasionally nestled within the shopping centers with standard fare filled with nail salons, drycleaners and grocery stores, you find a gem in the rough type place for some quality combination you time and family time. When entering this unassuming neighborhood store that looks from the outside like a cross between Chuck e’ Cheese and Starbucks, you are thrown into a suburban mind game that makes you wonder if you should have a mocha latte or grab your socks and go down an inflatable slide.Jumpsters entertainment which opened in March has broken the rules that separate the food type place and the fun place that you take the kiddo’s. Inside you find a trendy Italian bar and an ornate half wall that creates a degree of separation between mom and little Jenny or Johnny. You feel a little guilty as you plant your bottom on European furniture, surf on your laptop and enjoy the coffee shop experience while the “little cadets” drain their batteries. But this is the point according to the owner Mark Baule. “We have cool food places and we have fun places to play, but the two never seemed to live in harmony until Jumpsters.” “I can’t tell you how many times my wife and I need a 5 minute reprieve to gasp for air between the next business trip, soccer game and teacher conference. Jumpsters creates the bridge between the two and a place to regroup and repriortize to give back.”

The brainchild of two years of research and some help from past members of the Disney Imagineering team, Jumpsters defines organic, cool and fun with its awesome inflatable rides, frozen hot chocolate, safe for the family arcade, magnet wall and glow in the dark glow ball/hopscotch zone. They offer a new spin on a completely private party mostly on weekends where you can literally “open up the bar” for your guests. Also you can drop in for a wide Open Play schedule to come on in and play! Mom will have a melt down when she learns about fresh salads, family pizza night and the JumpsterGYM drop-off workout program! Twenty times down the Spiderman Obstacle Course and magnet creativity time is sure enough physical and mental stimulation to guarantee a solid nap!


Jumpsters also offers an all year long array of classes, seminars and events called JumpsterED that comes to the rescue for kids and parents alike with cool classes such as Story Time, JumpsterGYM, Inflatable Yoga, Manners Matter and much more! The neat thing is you can drop off the little cadets for classes and also take a quick shopping trip! If you can’t find something to do here then you just aren’t trying. “Our guests have spoken loud and clear about the need for a place like Jumpsters!” Sometimes you can have your cake (literally) and eat it to with the kids in tow! Bon Appetite.
