There is a stretch of winter in Utah Valley — roughly the second week of January through the end of February — when the inversion sits on the valley like a lid, the playgrounds are frozen, the ski resorts are a $300 day, and a five-year-old has been indoors for eleven straight days. Every parent in the county knows what happens next, and every parent in the county has, at some point, paid $18 for an hour of it. This guide is the map.
It covers the four big trampoline parks that were operating in Utah County as of late summer 2026, the ninja and adventure courses inside them, the separate category of indoor playgrounds built for toddlers, the other indoor active places that are not trampolines, what an hour costs once the socks and the waiver are in, the age rules that differ from park to park, the injury reality that the parks' own signs describe, and the cheaper alternatives for the worst air days. Names and addresses were checked in early September; this is a category in which venues change names, owners, and franchises with unusual frequency — the Orem park alone has had at least two names — so confirm the current one on the venue's own site before you load the car.
The Category, Explained
A trampoline park is a warehouse floor covered in wall-to-wall trampolines with padded seams, plus a foam pit, a dodgeball court, a basketball dunk lane, and — increasingly — a ninja-warrior obstacle course, a warped wall, a climbing wall, and a fenced-off toddler area. The business model is an hourly jump ticket, a mandatory pair of branded grip socks, a signed waiver, and birthday party rooms on the weekends. The category boomed nationally in the 2010s — the company that became the largest operator in the world, CircusTrix, was founded and headquartered in Provo before it rebranded — and Utah County, with its density of families, got more parks per capita than almost anywhere.
An indoor playground is a different thing: a padded, climbable structure of slides, tunnels, ball pits, and small trampolines built for children roughly two to eight, where parents go in with the kids and the risk profile is closer to a McDonald's PlayPlace than a foam pit. The two categories overlap at the edges — the big parks have toddler zones, the toddler playgrounds have small trampolines — but a parent with a two-year-old and a parent with a ten-year-old are shopping for different buildings.
The Trampoline Parks
Hang Time Adventure Park, Orem. 1340 Sandhill Road, in the commercial strip near University Place and the I-15 interchange. This is the largest trampoline facility in the county — more than 10,000 square feet of jumping surface, by the venue's own description — and the one with the widest mix: main-court trampolines, foam pits, dodgeball courts, slides, a ball pit, an obstacle course, climbing walls, a zip line, a sports area, an arcade, party rooms, and a concession stand. It has a fenced toddler zone and has run toddler-morning sessions and special-event nights. It has operated under more than one name — it was a Get Air location before the current branding — and parents who last went five years ago will find the layout changed. Socks are mandatory, kids under twelve need a supervising adult in the building, and the reviews' most common complaint is the cost once socks and a second child are added. It is the default answer for a mixed group of six-to-fourteen-year-olds.
Lowes Xtreme Airsports, Provo. 1111 West 100 South, on the west side of Provo near the I-15 Center Street exit. Lowes bills itself as the original trampoline arena in Utah, and it is the most athletic of the four: Olympic-style trampolines (the real ones, with the deep bounce), a ninja warrior course, a warped wall, parkour features, dodgeball, slamball, slacklines, a rock climbing wall, and a kids' play area, with a café. It draws the gymnastics and parkour crowd alongside the birthday parties, and it hosts BYU FHE groups and corporate events. The rules are specific: an online waiver before entry, signed by a parent for anyone under 18; no jeans, gym clothing only; grip socks if you wear socks; closed-toe shoes recommended for the ninja course and the warped wall; no outside food without a party reservation. It is the park for a kid who can already do a backflip and wants to do a better one, and for the parent who wants to try the ninja course themselves.
Airborne Trampoline Arena, Lindon. Part of a Utah chain with locations in Draper and Kaysville, the Lindon park sits along the State Street corridor between Orem and Pleasant Grove and serves the central county with the standard mix — open jump, dodgeball, foam pit, a ninja area — and hours that have run later than the others, into the late evening on weekends, which makes it the teen option. The reviews are more mixed than Hang Time's; the ones that matter describe a park that is busy and loud on Friday nights and quiet on weekday afternoons.
Sky Zone, Saratoga Springs. The newest park in the county and the one for the fast-growing west side — Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, Lehi's west neighborhoods. Sky Zone is the national brand that CircusTrix acquired and later became; the Saratoga Springs park is described by early reviewers as bright, new, and clean, with a smaller feature set than Hang Time. For a family in Eagle Mountain it saves 40 minutes of driving; for one in Provo it is not worth the trip past Hang Time.
The ones that are not in the county. Ninja Kidz Action Park in South Jordan, Uptown Jungle in Sandy, Altitude in West Jordan, and Airborne's Draper location are all within 40 minutes of Lehi and show up in every "near me" search from the north county; Ninja Kidz, built around the YouTube channel of the same name, is the one Utah Valley kids ask for by name. Our family activities guide covers the rest of the Salt Lake County options.
The Toddler Playgrounds
Coconut Cove, with locations in Orem and Vineyard, is the Utah County indoor playground for the under-eight crowd: racing slides, a ball-cannon area, small trampolines, a climbing structure, and a fenced toddler zone with soft play, with parents allowed in the structures and a seating area with wifi for the ones who are not. It closes earlier than the trampoline parks — 8 p.m. has been typical — and it is the venue most often named in our toddler activities guide for a reason: a two-year-old can spend an hour there without a parent's heart rate rising. Reviewers note it gets crowded and loud on weekend afternoons and on the worst-weather school days.
Funrise Indoor Playground in Highland is the north-county equivalent — a smaller indoor play structure with a snack bar that has drawn unusually good reviews for its food — and the answer for Alpine, Highland, and Cedar Hills families who do not want to drive to Orem.
The museum. The Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi is not a playground, but for a child under five it is the best indoor play in the county and the only one that is also a museum; the Rainforest and the water play area are where most toddlers spend the whole visit. It is a ticket rather than an hourly rate, and a Thanksgiving Point membership pays for itself in a winter for a Lehi family. Our Thanksgiving Point guide covers it.
What It Costs
The posted hourly rates at the Utah County trampoline parks have clustered in the mid-teens to low twenties per jumper for the first hour, with a discounted second hour, lower rates for toddler-time and off-peak sessions, and higher rates for special nights — glow nights, teen nights, lock-ins. On top of the ticket:
Socks. Every park requires grip socks, and every park sells its own, at $3 to $5 a pair, reusable at that chain on later visits. A family that goes to two different parks owns two sets. Bring last time's socks or pay again.
The waiver. Free, but mandatory, online, and signed by a parent for any minor; doing it in the car in the parking lot on a phone is the universal Utah County parent experience. Do it at home the night before and skip the line.
Parties. A two-hour party package with a private room, a set number of jumpers, socks, pizza, drinks, and a host has run from the low hundreds up, with add-ons for extra jumpers and food; the popular Saturday slots book weeks out in the birthday-heavy months. Our birthday party guide compares packages.
Memberships. Monthly unlimited-jump memberships, per child, are offered by most of the parks and break even at about three visits a month, which in February is not hard. Read the cancellation terms.
A family of four for an hour on a Saturday afternoon is a $70 to $100 outing with socks; the same family at a weekday toddler session is half that; a family with a membership and a child who goes every Tuesday after school is spending less than a single ski day per month. The indoor playgrounds are cheaper per child and charge for the child only, with adults free.
The Age Rules, Which Differ
There is no standard, and the differences catch parents. The common shapes:
Toddler zones. The big parks fence off a small area for children under a set age — often 5 or 6 — and restrict those children to it during open jump, with the main courts off-limits. Some parks flip that during toddler-time sessions, when the whole park is open to the little ones and closed to big kids.
Size grouping. Trampolines are shared, and every park posts that small jumpers should not jump next to big ones, because a 40-pound child on a trampoline next to a 180-pound teenager gets launched. The parks enforce it unevenly; the parent enforces it by watching.
Supervision. Children under 12 or 13 must have an adult in the building at most parks; some require the adult to stay on the floor. Teens can be dropped off.
Feature minimums. Ninja courses, warped walls, and foam pits often carry a minimum age or height, and the staff will turn a child away at the feature. Lowes' warped wall is the one Utah County kids most often get turned away from.
Clothing. No jeans at Lowes; gym clothes everywhere; no jewelry, no shoes on the trampolines, closed-toe shoes for the ninja courses. Pockets emptied.
Read the park's rules page before you go. A child turned away at the counter over a shoe policy is the most avoidable bad afternoon in this category.
The Injury Reality
The signs at every trampoline park describe the injuries the park is trying to prevent, and the parents on the benches mostly do not read them. The national picture, from emergency-department data, is that trampoline-park injuries rose steadily as the parks multiplied through the 2010s, that sprains and fractures of the legs and ankles are the most common, that a meaningful share come from landing badly after a jump from a higher surface or from colliding with another jumper, and that the foam pits and the dismounts — jumping off the last trampoline onto the floor — produce the worst ones. Neck and spine injuries, which are rare, come almost entirely from flips attempted by people who could not already do them and from head-first entries into the pit.
The rules that prevent most of this are the ones posted: one jumper per trampoline; no double-bouncing, which is when a bigger jumper's landing launches a smaller one; no flips unless you already have them; land on two feet, not one; feet first into the foam; and get off the trampoline by walking, not jumping. The other safety feature is a parent watching, rather than a parent scrolling. The parks employ court monitors, but a monitor watching forty jumpers is not watching yours.
Utah Valley Hospital's emergency department and the urgent cares along University Parkway see trampoline-park injuries every weekend; our urgent care versus ER guide explains which one to drive to for which injury, and the short version is that a suspected fracture with deformity is an ER visit and a sprain is an urgent care one.
The Other Indoor Places
For a group with a range of ages, or a child who does not like trampolines, or a parent who has done Hang Time four times this month:
Provo Beach, at the Riverwoods in Provo, is the largest indoor entertainment center in the county: a ropes course two stories up, bowling, laser tag, a large arcade, mini golf, a carousel, and the FlowRider indoor surf machine that is the reason for the name. It is a per-attraction or wristband price and the right answer for a teenager's birthday. Our Provo Beach guide covers it.
Classic Skating in Orem is the roller rink, and it has been the Utah County birthday venue for two generations; it runs family skates, themed nights, and a small play area for the ones too young to skate.
The climbing gyms. Momentum in Lehi and the Quarry in Provo both have youth areas with auto-belays that let a child climb without a partner, and both run kids' programs and birthday parties; climbing is the indoor activity that tires a child out most completely per dollar.
Peaks Ice Arena in Provo runs public skating sessions most days, with rentals; our Peaks guide has the schedule pattern. Fat Cats in Provo and Saratoga Springs has bowling, arcades, mini golf, and, at some locations, a small play area. Boondocks in Draper is the big fun center just north of the county line. And the arcades — our arcade guide covers them — are the rainy-day option for a child who is past the trampoline age.
The rec centers. The Provo Recreation Center's indoor pool, with its lazy river, slides, and play structure, is the cheapest hour of full-body energy-burn in the county on a day pass, and the Lehi Legacy Center, the Orem Fitness Center, and the American Fork rec center have their own versions. For a family already paying a membership, they are free, and on a February Saturday they are exactly as crowded as the trampoline parks. Our rec center guide covers the Provo one.
The Inversion Question
A word about the days these places exist for. Utah Valley's winter inversions trap the valley's pollution under a layer of warm air, and on the worst days — the red-air days, usually in January — the county's fine-particulate levels are among the worst in the United States. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality's guidance on those days is to avoid heavy exertion, indoors as well as out, because a building's air is the valley's air run through whatever filter the building has, and a warehouse full of children breathing hard is not what the doctor ordered. The trampoline parks are a yellow-day activity. On a red day, the better choices are the museum, the library, the indoor pool, and the movie theater, where nobody is sprinting. Our weather and inversion guide explains the color system and where to check the day's reading before you decide.
Choosing, by Kid
Under three: Coconut Cove, Funrise, or the museum. Do not pay for a trampoline park.
Three to five: a toddler-time session at Hang Time or Lowes on a weekday morning, or Coconut Cove on a weekend. The big parks during open jump are too much.
Six to nine: Hang Time for the variety, Lowes for a kid who is athletic, Airborne for a Lindon or Pleasant Grove family, Sky Zone for the west side. An hour is enough; two is a fight on the way home.
Ten to fourteen: Lowes for the ninja course and the real trampolines; Hang Time with friends; Provo Beach for a birthday; the climbing gyms for the one who is over trampolines.
Teens: Airborne's late hours, Lowes' warped wall, the teen nights and lock-ins that every park runs, and Provo Beach.
A mixed group from two to twelve: Provo Beach, the rec center pool, or Classic Skating, where everybody can do something. The trampoline parks split a mixed group into a toddler zone and a main court and leave one parent in each.
The Short Version
Four trampoline parks — Hang Time in Orem, Lowes in Provo, Airborne in Lindon, Sky Zone in Saratoga Springs — plus the toddler playgrounds at Coconut Cove (Orem and Vineyard) and Funrise (Highland), and the museum in Lehi. Mid-teens to low twenties per jumper per hour, plus $3 to $5 socks, plus a waiver signed at home. Toddler time on weekday mornings is the cheap, empty window. Read the age and clothing rules first. Watch your kid. And on a red-air day, go to the library.
