I was recently invited to take part of the media preview of Sky Zone - we loved it! It is a serious work-out, but oh so fun. Fun & fitness for the whole family - open to anyone from little walkers to senior citizens!
About Sky Zone Leetsdale, PA (Greater Pittsburgh)
Sky Zone is the original trampoline park and the one place where it is
totally acceptable to have bouncing-off-the-walls fun! Our trampoline park
offers open jump, a Foam Zone, 3-D Dodgeball (when available) and the SkySlam
basketball court, all equipped for extreme amounts of fun! Not only is jumping
an awesome way to have fun, it’s a great way to stay fit! Our unique park welcomes those of all ages, sizes, and shapes. From 3-D
Dodgeball to our ‘sky-high’ birthday parties and corporate events, we definitely
have something to offer everyone!Our unique park welcomes those of all ages, sizes, and shapes. From 3-D
Dodgeball to our ‘sky-high’ birthday parties and corporate events, we definitely
have something to offer everyone!
Sky Zone takes safety very seriously! Their staff are all around monitoring the courts. Only one jumper is allowed per mat and they will have age separation, so your two year old won't be jumping alongside a twelve year old. Everyone is required to wear their specific high top jumping shoes, but they only go down to youth size 10, so under that size is required to go barefoot.
Foam Pit! (Which may give you some serious static.) :)
Dodge ball courts. This is the bigger one, but on their regular open days, they have a smaller one for younger kids. Basketball fun too!
Parents lounge for those with older kids that don't need constant supervision. They are working on installing the camera feed so you can see all the courts on the TV and be able to keep an eye on your kiddos from the comfort of the lounge.
SkyRobics is coming soon - if you want to get fit or lose weight, I'm telling ya, this would be the way to go! More info on their website coming soon.
Party packages!
I am also excited that they will soon be offering a Toddler Time! Keep an eye on their website or facebook page for when it will be offered. So the general rule is that no outside food or drink will be allowed in to Sky Zone, but in talking with Joel Karg, General Manager, I mentioned that during Toddler Time most moms aren't going to trot their two year olds over to the snack bar for a soda & pizza slice. :) He agreed that was an excellent point and graciously made the decision that food/drink could be brought in for the young ones during that time. Thank you, Joel! They are also looking into having juice boxes and some healthy options in their snack bar.
We will definitely be planning a future playdate at Sky Zone during their toddler time, will be lots of fun!
