There are several Urban Air parks in DFW and one of my kids had a membership. I really liked it because it stayed open way longer than most businesses during the scamdemic. The place is always understaffed and the people working there are teens who don’t really care anyway. The place is really a throwback to a place where kids could go and have fun without much supervision. Helicopter parenting wasn’t even possible because of the loud music and mayhem.

Two thumbs up!

So, I took my daughter to a birthday party at the Urban Air in Little Rock last year. My nephew wanted to play the above pictured Gladiator game with some random kid. When they squared off, the other kid wacked my nephew with that nerf spear and he fell straight down and hammered his nuts on that beam. I've never laughed so hard in my life. The look on his face as he sank down in those nerf blocks still makes me laugh.

The clientele of the one in Jackson is going to be a bit different than one in the DFW ‘burbs.

I’ve attended several birthday parties at trampoline parks. They are great, and KIDS love them, but they also age out of them sometime in middle school. They certainly aren’t interested by the time they are old enough to drive.

Everything that makes it great for you and your kids also is the perfect recipe for disaster. Little kids running around jumping and playing unsupervised doesn’t work when a horde of grown teenagers at least twice their age show up. Especially when those “teens” have hardly any comprehension of basic social skills like decency, respect, or social awareness.

What type of person would fire off rounds in a crowded parking lot with busy streets and other businesses nearby without hesitation or any care of the consequences? We are talking about a large group full of that type.

How do you think they’re going react when a 20-year old employee calls them out? Or a 40-year old accountant that’s hosting a birthday party? What happens when the “horde” aren’t all friends? What if there is a rivalry between some of them, or a fight breaks out?
