You have decided to take the kids to a trampoline park. The next question is always the same one, and it is weirdly hard to get a straight answer to: what is this actually going to cost?

Most park websites make you click through three pages and pick a location before they show you a single number. So here it is up front, in plain terms, including the one charge that surprises almost every first time visitor.

THE SHORT ANSWER: $25 TO $35 PER JUMPER

For most families, one jumper at a Big Air park costs somewhere between $25 and $35 once you include admission and grip socks.

That is the honest all in number for a typical visit. Add food and it climbs. Go on a weekday or buy a longer pass and the cost per hour drops. Here is how it breaks down.

TRAMPOLINE PARK PRICES BY PASS LENGTH

Admission is priced by how long you jump. Across Big Air parks, the published rates land in these ranges:

• 1 hour: $18 to $24, offered at some parks
• 90 minutes: $22 to $29, most commonly around $24
• 2 hours: $26 to $34, most commonly around $29
• All day or unlimited: $26 to $46, most commonly around $33

The step up from 90 minutes to all day is usually about $9. That is the best value in the building if your kids have the stamina, and most of them do.

Prices vary because each park sets its own rates. Your local park's exact numbers are on the pricing page.

THE COST NOBODY MENTIONS: GRIP SOCKS

Every trampoline park requires grip socks, and they are not included in the admission price. At Big Air they run $3 to $4.25 depending on the park.

Here is the part that matters: you keep them. They are yours, and you bring them back next time. So it is a first visit cost, not an every visit cost, as long as somebody remembers to put them in the car.

Three kids means roughly $12 the first time and nothing after that. Budget for it once and stop thinking about it.

WHAT DO TODDLERS AND LITTLE KIDS COST?

This is where parks differ the most, so it is worth checking before you go.

Children 2 and under are free with a paying adult at many Big Air parks. At others they are $5, and at a few they run up to $15 for an infant ticket. Several parks also discount the 3 to 6 year old range, sometimes to $20 to $26, and a handful price children 4 and under at $18.

Most parks also run Toddler Time, a dedicated session where the little ones get the courts to themselves without bigger kids flying past. If you have a toddler, that session is usually the best value on the schedule.

HOW MUCH IS A TRAMPOLINE PARK BIRTHDAY PARTY?

Party packages at Big Air parks run from about $99 at the smallest end to $1,499 for the largest private options. Most land between $300 and $450, with the typical package right around $375.

What moves the price is guest count, how long you get the party room, and what is included: jump time, socks, pizza, drinks, a dedicated host, and invitations. The cheaper packages tend to be toddler sized or shorter. The expensive ones are full private buyouts.

WHAT ABOUT GROUPS, TEAMS, AND FIELD TRIPS?

Groups are priced per person instead of a flat package fee. At Big Air parks, group rates start between $14 and $29 per person depending on the location and the length of the session.

That is usually well below walk up admission, which is the whole point of booking as a group. Minimum headcounts apply and they vary by park. There is more detail in our guide to how group events work.

FOUR WAYS TO SPEND LESS

Go on a weekday. Several parks price Monday through Thursday below weekend rates. If your schedule is flexible, this is the easiest saving available.

Buy the longer pass. The gap between 90 minutes and all day is often under $10. Measured per hour, all day is almost always the cheapest jump time you can buy.

Bring the socks you already own. The pair from last visit works exactly the same as a new one.

Do the membership math. At most parks a monthly membership costs about the same as a single 2 hour pass, which means it pays for itself in one visit. We ran the numbers properly in is a trampoline park membership worth it.

Many parks also offer a summer pass covering unlimited visits across the school break, which beats per visit pricing if summer is when your family actually goes.

HOW MUCH IS A TRAMPOLINE PARK FOR ONE PERSON?

Roughly $25 to $35 all in for a typical visit, covering admission plus the one time grip sock purchase. A 90 minute pass is $22 to $29 at most Big Air parks and grip socks add $3 to $4.25.

DO YOU HAVE TO BUY SPECIAL SOCKS AT A TRAMPOLINE PARK?

Yes. Grip socks are required for safety at every trampoline park and they are not included in admission. They cost $3 to $4.25 at Big Air, you keep them, and you can bring the same pair back on every future visit.

IS AN ALL DAY PASS WORTH IT?

Usually yes. All day typically costs about $9 more than 90 minutes, so if your family stays even half a day the cost per hour is far lower. It also removes the clock watching, which is worth something on its own.

ARE TRAMPOLINE PARK PRICES THE SAME AT EVERY LOCATION?

No. Each Big Air park sets its own admission, toddler, party, and group pricing, and many run seasonal specials that beat the standard rate. Always check the page for your specific park.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I BUDGET FOR TWO KIDS?

For two jumping kids on 2 hour passes, plan on roughly $52 to $68 for admission plus about $8 for grip socks on the first visit. If the adults jump too, double the admission line. Check your park's page for its spectator policy, since that varies by location.

READY TO SEE YOUR PARK'S ACTUAL PRICES?

Every number above is a range because every Big Air sets its own rates. The exact prices for your location, including any current specials, are on the Big Air pricing page. Find your nearest park, check the rate, and go burn off some energy.
