As a parent, it’s a constant juggle to find activities that tick all the boxes: engaging, affordable, and, let’s be honest, something that will get the kids off the screens and moving their bodies!
Jump Central is an indoor trampoline park coupled with indoor sports fields in industrial Moorabbin.
The trampoline area is not large compared to some other places I’ve been but 4-year old Baby 2.0 still spends 1+ hour navigating around the four distinct trampoline areas.
There’s dodgeball, a free jumping area, foam pit and hoops. Note you need to wear grip socks to jump – you can bring your own socks or buy a pair on-site.
On a weekday it’s particularly quiet as most kids are in school so preschoolers can jump for a discounted rate.
After about 1 hour he is tired out and becomes mesmerised by the big screen TV showing the Minions so if your kids are under 5 don’t necessarily expect to stay for the whole 2 hours.
Jump Central also offers party packages with catering options. There is a small onsite kiosk with coffee, tea, soft drinks, cookies, fruit and packaged snacks are also available.
Jump Central is an affordable weekday destination when the weather’s cold or wet and your kids need to burn off some energy.
Note your trampoline entry price is just for the trampoline area. The indoor tennis, soccer and basketball courts are available for casual hire.
HOT Tips for Jump Central Moorabbin
- There is no air-conditioning or heating. While it’s spacious I think it’s a venue that’s best for cold and rainy days;
- book online especially on weekends and school holidays, to avoid disappointment.
- Kids have to wear grip socks (supervising adults don’t need socks). You can buy grip socks on site. I seem to have to buy new grip socks everywhere we go so I suggest leaving them in your glovebox!
- Jump sessions start on the hour, every hour. Standard entry is for 1 hour.
- On weekdays for preschoolers entry fee includes 2 hours of play.
- Free parking on site.
