To See Your Kid Stuck to a Wall: Xtreme Energy

Xtreme Energy in Englewood, New Jersey is full of fun stuff to do, including a ropes course, a rock-climbing wall, a playscape to climb up around and through, a ninja course and virtual reality. But we personally love the idea of our child putting on a velcro suit, jumping and sticking to the wall. Hi-larious. Xtreme Energy also hosts Toddler Time and special events (click here for the latest), and serves real, nutritious food like salads and wraps at the cafe. (Sweet stuff, too.) 

Cost: two-hour pass weekday/$19, weekend/$25; weekend day all-day pass, $35

For Toddler Time, Sensory Bounce, Ziplining, and More! : Bounce Trampoline Sports

Roughly 45 minutes outside the city on Long Island, tucked behind a nondescript office park and just beyond a bottling warehouse, you'll find a gigantic building hopping mad with activity. Inside hundreds of kids are literally jumping for joy. Bounce! Trampoline Sports is a trampoline park of Olympic-sized proportions. The enormous gymnasium is cordoned off into different areas: one section contains more than 20 trampolines attached to each other - some even sloping up the walls - where kids can leap, bounce and laugh, while another area allows basketball fans to make slam-dunks on a trampoline court. The facility also boasts eight foam pits where kids can jump and somersault off a trampoline and land into a moat of soft red cubes. 

Bonus: There's also a special "Bounce Jr." area just for kids age six and under, and a ninja course and Adventure Zone, complete with elevated ropes course and zipline (with options for little and big kids). 

Small kid tip: Check the calendar for the latest schedule, but Bounce! pretty consistently holds Toddler Time (ages six and under) from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. every weekday, and 9 a.m. to noon on weekends for $20. Note: they do not host Toddler Time during school vacations. It also holds sensory-friendly sessions on Mondays from 6 - 8 p.m., and Jump N Glow blocks (must be  at least 48 inches tall). 

Cost: Starting at $24.99 for 60 minutes at Open Bounce and Jump N Glow; $12 for 60 minutes Sensory Bounce

For Tiny Jumpers: Billy Beez

Prices are for all-day re-entry; socks are required. 

Small kid tip: For kids under age 3, check out the "Mini Beez" area, which has special padded play structures.

To Bounce With Artistic Flair: STREB

Sometimes simply jumping up and down can become monotonous — even for the most rambunctious kids. And that’s where Williamsburg's Streb Lab for Action Mechanics (SLAM) comes in. Founded by choreographer Elizabeth Streb, who’s been called the "Evel Knievel of dance", Streb Lab’s Kid Trampoline class channels kids’ energy and refocuses it on performance and overcoming fears. All of the classes are taught by Streb troupe dancers and take place where the dancers train and perform themselves. Students will not only learn acrobatic skills on a huge trampoline but will also be inspired as they watch dancers rehearse on the trapeze swings and aerial silks. 

Cost: For kids ages five and up. $500 for a 16-week semester.

To Soar on Staten Island: Fly High

Fly High is Staten Island's HQ for bouncing it out. (They also bill themselves as NYC's first indoor trampoline park.) This spot has not only an expanse of trampolines for jumping, you'll also find the Bungee Slingshot, foam pits to dive into and the Dunk Zone, where a satisfying slam dunk is possible thanks to a trampoline assist. Fly High has no age restrictions, but of course you'll need to keep an eye on the kids at all times. Note: wearing Fly High's Jump Socks is a must; they're $2 and you can bring them back and use them again. Also note: they have massage chairs on site if you need a rub down after some major bouncing. Ages: Fly High is all ages but they advise that kids five and under not jump on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays due to high volume. If you do choose to visit with a little one, an adult must purchase a ticket and jump with them.

Cost: $15/30 minutes; $22/60 minutes; $27/90 minutes, $30/120 minutes.
