It’s important to know that a Trampoline park is more than just trampolines, video games, and other attractions – it can be a very exciting and fun leisure activity for the whole family. If you want a Trampoline park to function successfully as a whole, you should also think carefully about how to make the best use of the park’s rest areas.

 

Plan the rest areas of your Trampoline park early enough

At first, glance, jumping on trampolines may seem all about fun and excitement, but it’s actually a very energy-intensive activity. Visitors usually need to take a break from their jumping to catch their breath and get some rest, before heading back to the trampolines and having more fun.

It’s therefore essential to consider adding content and infrastructure as soon as you start planning the Trampoline park. Another important consideration is how to make efficient use of all the areas set aside for rest and relaxation.

Examples of such uses which are currently popular include chill-out rooms and other themed rooms for additional relaxation. If these are well-planned and equipped, visitors are more likely to spend longer in your Trampoline park and keep coming back.

So what else can your park offer visitors?

 

Chill-out rooms with various equipment

The main purpose of chill-out rooms is to allow visitors to get some rest and recover after all the energy spent jumping, and so have fun in a different way. You could include interactive educational content that will teach the visitors about the beneficial effects of jumping and demonstrate the correct techniques or set up screens that allow them to follow the action in different parts of the park.

Another important thing to remember is that chill-out rooms encourage socializing. A number of games can thus be included in such spaces, like darts, pool, or problem-solving activities which will provide visitors with more opportunities to communicate and make new friends.

Chill-out rooms can also be designed to follow specific themes to offer your visitors other forms of entertainment that will engage them while taking a break from jumping. A good idea is to organize theme days or months in your Trampoline park, and then decorate it in a unique style. You can choose from a number of themes:

  • if the theme is the future, for example, you could install a time machine in the chill-out area;
  • if the theme is the past, you could show items from the past, which can then be used by the visitors;
  • the theme could be different cultures, such as Native American peoples, with a real tepee in the room and an interactive display inside showing scenes from their way of life;
  • science is another interesting theme, where a room could have some equipment that allows for small-scale experiments and tests that will educate visitors, such as about the laws of physics;
  • for small children, an interesting theme is a cartoon or comic book heroes, where a room can be decorated with the most popular characters, while your youngest visitors are offered coloring sheets or creative workshops.

A wide range of themes allows you to vary the appearance of your chill-out areas, and thus always engage your visitors. With this additional content, your visitors are more likely to keep coming back to your Trampoline park.

Such areas facilitate the widest range of uses. A visit to the Trampoline park is becoming a popular way to get together with family or friends, and you’ll quickly learn why it’s a good idea for a park to have a room that can be used for private parties with food and drinks.

 

Trampoline park gallery above the trampolines

Plan a gallery that overlooks the trampolines and allows a good view of all the action in the park. Equip it with tables and chairs so that parents and other visitors who prefer not to do any jumping can watch what’s is going on, while more active park visitors will have the chance to take a quick break.

The gallery can be fitted out with a small snack bar or a food and drink vending machine. This way visitors can not only have fun watching people jumping on the trampolines, but also enjoy a nice conversation with a cold drink, cup of coffee, or small snack.

Trampoline park restaurant or bar

 After a vigorous session of jumping on the trampolines and enjoying the other exciting attractions, your visitors will crave a refreshing drink or meal to replace the energy they’ve used.

 


A restaurant or bar is not just a useful rest area,

but a way to increase the revenue of a Trampoline park.


 

It’s well known that a visit to a Trampoline park is a great way to spend time with friends old and new. For this reason, a restaurant is also important in terms of communication and building relationships, since almost every visit to a Trampoline park will end with getting something to eat and drink.

Why are rest areas an important part of a Trampoline park?

Rest areas are obviously an important part of any Trampoline park. Such areas provide other ways to engage visitors during breaks, a chance for them to hang out with others and perhaps learn something new.

Visitors will spend more time in your park and will be more likely to keep coming back, resulting in higher revenues.

So, if the size of the facility and your budget allow you to add rest areas to your Trampoline park, be sure to include them in the design. You’ll soon realize the added value they bring, to both your park and customers, makes such features worth all the effort you put into them.
