Big Air Trampoline & Adventure Park

Description

Big Air Trampoline & Adventure Park – it’s the spot that had my nephew grinning ear to ear and my energy levels wondering what on earth I’d just signed up for. If you’ve ever wanted to experience a blend of high-energy jumping, creative obstacle zones, and a hive of laughter all at once, here’s the place. Talk about controlled chaos (in the best way possible). Geared especially towards families but surprisingly fun for those out-of-town adventurers with a sense of humor, this venue is basically a gigantic indoor playground that doesn’t back down on adrenaline.

Upon arrival, you’ll catch that distinct mix of worn-in sneakers and pure excitement in the air—little feet (and big ones, let’s not lie) bouncing across trampolines stretching as far as the eyes can see. But don’t think it’s all the same–each zone feels like its own little planet of action. Sometimes, I’ll admit, these parks can seem more chaotic than rewarding, but here, things are organized enough that the chaos feels intentional and kind of delightful. And, they’ve bothered to make it accessible too, which is something you don’t see everywhere. Whether you’re a parent chasing after your kiddos, a group of friends with an urge to cut loose, or anyone just tired of the usual theme park scene, Big Air provides more genuine fun than you’d probably expect.

One thing I appreciate—and parents can back me up on—is how staff keeps things flowing without being overly strict or buzzkills. Expect the occasional excited shrieks and friendly game of tag breaking out among the trampolines. Of course, not every single experience here will be five stars (what is?), but strike the right moment and your visit will leave you with both sore legs and great memories. If you loved arcades as a kid, you’re in for some flashbacks, because beyond the massive jump spaces, you’ll also find arcade games, party spaces, and a snack bar ready to refuel your sugar tank.

Key Features

• Massive Trampoline Arenas: Think wall-to-wall trampolines for uninhibited bouncing—suitable for every age and athletic ability (even those who bounce like awkward giraffes, like me).
• Ninja-type Obstacle Courses: Test your mettle with obstacle ladders, challenging climbs, and foam pits. It’s American Ninja Warrior meets your local hangout zone.
• Dedicated Playground Zone: Younger kids get their own special area, which helps keep the toddler chaos contained. Pro tip: It’s padded. Everywhere.
• Authentic Arcade Games: Flashing lights, stubborn claw machines, and racing games guaranteed to bring out your competitive streak (and maybe make you lose track of time).
• Party & Event Hosting: Got a birthday bash, class party, or even a family reunion? Exclusive party rooms and on-staff planners make organizing wild fun way less stressful.
• Family-Friendly Rest Spaces: Between trampoline sessions, park yourself in comfy seating, connect to the free Wi-Fi, or just enjoy some guilt-free people-watching.
• On-site Restaurant: Let’s be real—jumping burns serious calories. Their café serves classic kid (and adult) favorites, from hotdogs and pizza to those fountain drinks you know you secretly crave.
• Wheelchair Accessibility: Wide entryways, accessible restrooms, and thoughtful seating arrangements—you don’t have to miss out just because you roll instead of walk.
• Cashless Payments: Whether you’re an old-school card swiper, smartphone tapper, or still learning NFC, paying for goodies is hassle-free.
• Clean Restrooms & Facilities: Not glamorous, but definitely important. As far as indoor play spaces go, Big Air does far better than most; you won’t be tiptoeing around ominous “mystery puddles.”

Best Time to Visit

Here’s the honest truth: Big Air Trampoline & Adventure Park tends to fill up quick—especially on weekends, school holidays, or those inevitable “it’s raining and the kids need to run wild” days. If crowds aren’t your cup of tea (and trust me, sometimes all you want is peace and quiet), it’s smart to book a ticket in advance for weekday mornings or early afternoons. I made the mistake of showing up with a rambunctious bunch on a holiday, and, wow, it was a zoo. But somehow that’s part of the experience too! If you want to enjoy the place with a bit more elbow room, lean toward off-peak hours; plus, shorter wait times at the snack bar and cleaner, less-trafficked trampoline mats.

Birthday party season—typically weekends in spring and late summer—also means heavy traffic, but if you thrive on that electric, anything-can-happen vibe (or your kiddos adore making instant friends), that’s the window for you. And hey, rainy days are sort of what these places were invented for, so don’t sweat it if the sunshine plans fall flat. Everyone piles in, but the energy is infectious.

For the travelers or nearby explorers, try to pop in midweek or after lunch—the crowds thin out, the air conditioning seems cooler, and bouncing around suddenly feels like your own private adventure (plus, you probably won’t have to dodge twenty birthday cakes rolling past).

How to Get There

Making your way to Big Air Trampoline & Adventure Park isn’t hard, luckily. If you’re coming by car, parking is hassle-free, and there are accessible spaces close to the entrance—whoever designed the lot knew a thing or two about herding crowds. And if you’re like me and prefer not to wrestle with parking meters, you’ll appreciate the convenience.

Uber, Lyft, and rideshare drivers are almost always nearby (word gets around where the action is), and drop-off zones are practical, so parents can do a warp-speed kid handoff if necessary. For those relying on public transportation, check local bus schedules; the majority of bus lines servicing the area drop off just a short walk away, and it’s a pretty safe stroll.

Honestly, if you’re already in Buena Park—maybe after a stop at Knott’s or cruising Beach Blvd—the park is super easy to swing by as part of your itinerary. For those traveling from a bit farther out, plan an extra ten minutes to wrangle parking on particularly jump-happy weekends.

Pro tip: Planning ahead really pays off here, especially with so many visitors on weekends; nothing derails a bouncing bonanza like circling the lot with hungry, desperate kids strapped into the back seat.

Tips for Visiting

Okay, here’s where it pays to get “in the know” before your socks touch that trampoline floor. First—grip socks. Yes, they are required. Bring your own if you have them, but the park does sell them on-site (not pricey, but it’s one less thing to deal with). Look, nobody wants surprise charges at the door.

Leave jewelry and anything in your pockets in the car or lockers (they’ve seen more lost phones than a mall lost and found on Black Friday). And don’t forget hydration—jumping is serious aerobic fun. The café helps, but if you’ve got picky eaters or specific allergies, plan accordingly; outside food is a toss-up and subject to staff rules.

Advance booking is honestly a lifesaver, especially during peak seasons. Trust me, waiting behind hyper toddlers who have already sniffed out the pizza is motivation enough to reserve a ticket online. If you’re party planning, ask about group discounts and whether you get an extra ten minutes in your party room (sometimes you do, but only if you’re extra charming).

A few more pro hacks: Set a meeting point for your group in case someone’s lost their shoes or takes a detour to the arcade. Your body, especially if you’re not a regular gym-goer, will thank you for stretching before and after the jumping spree. If you’re bringing little ones, a backpack with snacks and a change of clothes saves the day, believe me.

And for those of you who value accessibility, you’ll be pleased. Wheelchair access was a deal-breaker for a friend, and they navigated the place without missing out. Ask staff about the best viewing spots; they’re genuinely helpful and not just reading off a script.

Finally, don’t be afraid to just sit, watch, and soak it in. Some of the best moments aren’t on the trampolines but seeing the pure, over-the-top joy on everyone’s faces. Whether you’re jumping, laughing, or—let’s be honest—just catching your breath, you’ll leave with a memory (and maybe a calorie deficit). Happy bouncing!
