Trampoline Parks in Australia

Most of the 59 venues on this page belong to two chains, BOUNCE Inc and Flip Out, so the format repeats: grip socks, a separate zone for under-5s, and birthday parties run by a named host. The differences are in the details. BOUNCE Inc Marleston and BOUNCE Inc Tingalpa are the best reviewed of the big sites, though reviewers warn that most of Marleston's bounce zones are reserved for private parties on Saturday afternoons. BOUNCE Inc Essendon Fields sits in an aircraft hangar and takes children from age one, while BOUNCEinc Heidelberg gets warm when full, which is why regulars book the first session of the day in school holidays.

Outside the chains, Rush HQ in Rowville is the one Time Out lists first among Melbourne parks; its two-host party format handles groups of 20 or more, and entry is for ages three and up. Gravity Zone in Seaford is described by the same guide as 180 trampolines across six zones, but reviewers say to avoid school holidays, when program groups of 60 to 70 children join public sessions, and outside food is banned. 360 Action Park (Formerly Flip Out Castle Hill) adds laser tag, with the caveat that adult seating is sparse.

For the youngest children, miniBOUNCE Carindale admits ages one to six only, with equipment scaled down to match. The Big Boing in Birtinya fences its under-5 zone off from the main floor with its own foam pit, and Jumpside in Footscray runs quiet on weekdays and pours free coffee for parents. Inflatable World Modbury is a different proposition: inflatables rather than trampolines, bring-your-own food, and best avoided in summer heat.
