Bouncing off the walls at SkyMania

House of Trampolines

Literally.  You can bounce off the walls and have a flippin good time here at Sky Mania Fun Centers in Las Vegas.  The place is as big as a gym, but the floor and walls consist of a huge proprietary series of connected trampolines.  Loud, mostly popular music is pumped through ceiling speakers.  It makes the whole place one big bouncing romper room.  You can see some pretty nifty tricks and stunts at this place.  The performers of Cirque Du Soleil have been known to come and romp around here too.  Serious athletes praise it's cardiovascular work out.  Really, I believe it.

For me, just simple jumping was breaking me into a sweat and pant.  But simple jumping is enough.  I was occupied either with jumping or trying to catch my breath so I could jump some more the whole hour I was there.  It seemed like I discovered the simple wonder and joy of just jumping. Like a kid, again.  The children and teens I saw went all out and for the whole time.  Some formed into a small group and played a form of dodgeball on the court Sky Mania style.  I didn't pass that up.
