Pump It Up Frisco Kids Birthdays and More

About

Look at the calendar before you drive over. Open jump runs here in set two-hour windows, and outside them the inflatables are booked for private birthday parties, which is the business this place is really built around.

Those parties run to a timetable: roughly half an hour in each of two inflatable rooms, then the party room for food, with only your group in each space. Parents describe staff unloading the car, setting up, serving and carrying the presents back out at the end, and more than one says they spent the party watching rather than working. Parents describe fourth, fifth and sixth birthdays here, and one whose guests were all between two and six says not one child got hurt or cried. If you book the glow party, one parent's advice is to put the birthday child in a white shirt; theirs wore black and was hard to keep track of in the dark.

The complaint that repeats is the phone. Two parents say calls go unanswered and messages are slow to come back, so leave time for a reply before you need one.
