We had a great time at our local Pump it Up. We visited one other time for a friend’s birthday party. I was excited to learn about their pop-in playtime hours. Why? Well, it’s been 3 years since we were there at that birthday party, and it’s totally a fun place for kids to play and get exercise. It’s a great idea for something to do on a rainy day. It’s a fantastic way to keep your kids active. Step away from the TV! It’s also a good place if you have kids whose ages range a bit. I saw tweens down to toddlers enjoying the soft, inflatable play structures.
My kids had a blast at our morning of pop-in playtime with their two best buds. It was easy for me to bring along baby Charlie too. I could watch the kids, push Charlie around, and chat with my friend while we watched our kids play their hearts out.
You and your child are invited to come and play on our giant, soft, fun-filled interactive inflatables during Pump It Up Pop-In Playtime.
Promote social development and physical fitness while bouncing, sliding, climbing and jumping at Pump It Up!
Enjoy meeting other parents and making new friends in a safe, clean, climate controlled environment!
Here is a video of short clips from our day of fun. The dramatic groan at the end is Jack expressing his disgust that the pop-in time was over. It’s a compliment to Pump It Up that he didn’t want to leave. It’s a reaction I’ll keep working on as a parent. 🙂

I like that the declaration encourages my kids to step away from electronics/toys and me to actively play with them!
Never been, but I see there’s one in the Chicago ‘burb town that we visit a ton. Looks like a good way to blow off some steam 🙂
1 hour a day of encouraged use of their imagination is great!
I like that they are encouraging parents to let children play and use their imaginations, verses always playing with electronics or watching TV.
I like that it encourages kids to use their imaginations
i love what we see and then what kids see part
I the see what we see section. I thought the carseat one was funny.
It’s good for kids to use their imagination.
I like that it encourages children to b part of the play
I love the link where you will see what the kids see. LOL. Love that for us it’s Brocolli and kids see it as Dog food. LOL. 🙂
I like the what we see, what kids see page.
I agree that kids need that time that isn’t so scheduled. Time to let their minds wander and pretend.

I like it, cause I do think it is important for kids to create and make believe and imagine to better develop
Love that it encourages parents to be a part of the play – and that it gives a goal to reach for. 1 hr is doable, but definitely takes being intentional.
From the declaration, I love (and will try to do) the part about “saving their childhood”!
My boys love Pump it Up and will be so excited!
Sounds like a blast!
Sounds like so much fun! My boys would love it
My kids would love this!
My 4 kids would so love this, we have never been there! 🙂
Sounds like a fun playdate!
I like that they have activity suggestions
