Pump It Up For Your Child’s Birthday Party

Are you looking for a different way to celebrate your child’s birthday? Every year we have a different theme and we invite my son’s best friends and their parents over to our house for his birthday party. It is a lot of work, a lot of money, and it takes a lot of time.
The only major benefit of having a party at your house is you are guaranteed to have a clean house for the day, but it only lasts until “game time” then you have to clean up the mess that the kids make during the party.
If you want to make life easier on yourself, I suggest you have the party at Pump It Up! They are located at the west end of Mira Mesa at 9370 Waples Street, just off of Mira Mesa Blvd. Pump It Up features several inflatable activities for the kids (and adults) to enjoy. There is an obstacle course where the kids can race each other, a huge slide, a large bouncy with basket ball hoops, and a combat zone for the ultimate king of the mountain battle.
Pump It Up has several different party packages to fit any size group. The Mini Classic ($200) lets you enjoy the private arena and private party room for 1 ½ hours for your child and 14 guests. The Mini Classic is available Monday through Thursday, and features 14 color invites, party supplies (cups, plates, forks, & napkins), set up, clean up, and friendly staff to help with your party. The kids get to play for an hour, and spend ½ hour in the private party room, which is perfect for pizza and cake. The food and beverages are also available for an additional fee.
For a larger group, the Classic Party Weekend is available for $290. The Classic runs Friday through Sunday, and Holidays and your birthday child gets to invite 25 of their friends to attend a 2 hour party. They will have 1 ½ hours to enjoy all the activities in the private arena, and ½ hour in your own private party room to enjoy pizza and cake. Pizza, cake, and beverages are available at a very reasonable additional charge.
They also have a Classic Party Weekday package for $230 Monday through Thursday, so you can save a few bucks by moving the party date up a few days from the weekend. My son has been to several birthday parties at Pump It Up, and I can tell you first hand that the kids love it, the parents love it, and it is by far the easiest way to throw a great birthday party that your child will remember forever.
There are a few things you need to remind your guests: they must wear socks to enjoy the activity arena. Pump It Up runs a very clean, safe and sanitary facility. Also, all guests must sign a waiver prior to being admitted to the party, and you may download the waiver for your guest’s convenience. The birthday child and all adults (18 and older) play for free, and are not included in the guest count.
It only takes a $50 non-refundable deposit to reserve your party, but time slots fill up quickly so call to reserve your party today! For more information or to reserve your party online, visit the website. Prices listed for comparison only, and are subject to change.
