Trampoline Jumping At Airheads

My best friend in elementary school had a trampoline in her backyard. It was fun, but after ten minutes jumping in the Florida heat and humidity, we were ready to go back inside. This is why indoor trampoline arenas are such a brilliant idea - all of the jumping fun with the added bonus of air conditioning.

Katarina and I visited Airheads Trampoline Arena last weekend with some other bloggers and their families, and had much more fun than I remember having on my friend's trampoline.

The trampolines stretch across the entire back wall, and wrap around the sides to form a semi-circle. They have sections that can be partitioned off for dodgeball or for younger jumpers. The nice thing about the arrangement is that you can see all of the jumping areas from the tables in the middle of the room, so parents can relax while still keeping an eye on their kids.

Jumping is not just for the kids. I jumped, and it was awesome.
I never did master jumping off of the walls, and I certainly can't do tricks or flips. I was happy with just seeing how high I could jump.

I was surprised at how quickly I felt out of breath, and needed to stop and rest. Jumping was a real workout. This probably says a lot about my need to exercise more often. Airheads has fitness classes for adults that I definitely want to try, because it actually sounds like a lot of fun.

We had lunch at the cafe, and the amount of menu choices was impressive. They have pizza, wings, nachos, and other foods that falls in the junk food spectrum (otherwise known as food I like to eat), but they also have wraps and huge salads for healthy options.

Katarina jumped for most of the time we were there, and loved it. After several hours, she was tired. We both went to bed early that night.

Airheads has locations in Orlando and Tampa. It is a great place to spend the afternoon. You can also find them on Facebook and Twitter.

A big thanks to Erika from My Sentiment ExactLee and Chrissy Gaubron, the Airheads Trampoline Arena Director Of Fun (Isn't that the best job title?), for sharing their pictures with me. It is nearly impossible to get good pictures when everyone is jumping around, but they did it!

*Legal Stuff: I was provided with jump time and food by Airheads. I did not receive any other compensation, and I was not required to say nice things.
