![]() We went down there for one of their Sunday morning Toddler Times and it was hoppin’! But we still found a space no problem. There’s a large parking area right out front. The entrance to Sky Zone is actually, well, about 200 feet up from here. So if you’re coming from the same direction I did, you’re going to pass the facility and what looks like the entrance/parking area on your right.Īnd if you’re also not paying attention like me, you will turn into this parking lot because you completely missed the GIANT sign that says “Entry 200 feet” with a big arrow. Okay, so now that we’ve cleared up some key facts, how about a little virtual tour? A snack bar sells beverages, pizza, ice cream and snacks. There’s food available for purchase and a large area with tables for eating.Definitely reserve ahead of time if you are planning a visit during peak times (weekends, holidays, school vacations). That being said, Toddler Time doesn’t usually sell out (especially the Friday morning time), so you are probably ok to just drop-in. It is always encouraged to reserve your jump time online prior to your arrival (you can do this for Toddler Time as well) so you don’t get all the way there and find that they are full to capacity.They cost $2/pair, come in a variety of sizes, are reusable for every subsequent visit, and trust me, when you see how your kiddos are going to run around like a bunch of lunatics when they discover how much fun they can have on giant trampolines, you are going to be so happy they have a whole lotta anti-slip action going on. You must purchase and wear “SkySocks” in order to be anywhere on the trampolines or pads (this includes parents who are accompanying their children).Sky Zone will try to separate jumpers by size for safety reasons, which means that parents may not be able to jump with their (smaller in size) children if they are in an area where there are other children jumping too. But during peak times (weekends, holidays, school vacations), jumpers under 40 inches tall MUST jump BEFORE noon (but be aware that taller people may be jumping at that time too). There is no kiddie court. Everyone can jump everywhere.(Adults are admitted FREE during Toddler Time, by the way.) Adults can, however, accompany their kids onto the trampolines and sit or stand on the pads nearby to help them. So it’s kind of nice if you have a really little one since you won’t have to worry about adults accidentally trouncing them. Even just a little bit of jumping by a big person can unintentionally knock a little one right off their feet. ![]() This is for the safety of the little ones. Parents cannot jump during Toddler Time.The price of admission ($9/child) covers that entire time (it’s not a time-specific ticket like at other open jump times), and kids have access to (almost) everywhere in the facility. Sky Zone offers Toddler Time, a special session reserved for kids ages 5 and under, twice a week on Friday mornings (10-12) and Sunday mornings (9-11).(Trampoline parks seem to be springing up all over the place–sorry, couldn’t resist □ ) So I thought it might be helpful to point out some key facts about Sky Zone to help distinguish them from the others: Now, if you’ve been following our blog for a while, you may remember that we’ve written about two other trampoline parks that are relatively new additions to the CT scene: Flight in New Britain and Launch in Hartford. So I contacted the one currently closest to me in Wallingford, CT and asked if I could bring my crew down for one of their bi-weekly “Toddler Time” sessions for kids ages 5 and under. And guess what? They do! In fact, there are two Sky Zone locations already in CT, and two more in the works (including one that has just been announced for the Hartford area!). So when a Facebook friend of mine (who doesn’t even live in Connecticut!) posted some pics of her kids playing at a trampoline park called Sky Zone that looked like a ton of fun, the first thing I thought was, gee, I wonder if they have a location in my neck of the woods. Here’s the thing about writing a blog about things to do with kids: you are always, always, ALWAYS thinking about new things to do with your kids. All opinions are 100% my own.Ĭut to the chase. Thank you to Sky Zone Trampoline Park in Wallingford, CT for giving my family complimentary admission for this visit. Please check their website for the most current information, especially about things like schedules and pricing.
