Pump Up Your Kid's Birthday Party at Pump It Up in Leesburg, Virginia

My daughter and I went to her classmate's birthday party this past weekend at Pump It Up in Leesburg, Virginia. She and her friends bounced, climbed up and went down the slides and went through obstacle courses there pretty much non-stop. I joined in on the fun, of course!

There were two birthday parties when we were there, but we didn't see the other party at all until the end. The facility had two rooms of giant indoor inflatables, so the two parties were rotated between the two rooms.

The party started in the lobby area, where we dropped off our presents and watched a safety video. After that, the kids lined up to make a choo choo train and went in the first party room.

There were three inflatables in the first room: a moon bounce, inflatable slides and an inflatable obstacle course. Staff was there on the floor, but not on the inflatables. Since our party consisted of mostly young toddlers, us parents took turn monitoring the kids at the top of the slides so they didn't tumble on each other while going down the slides.

After about 30 or 40 minutes, we switched to the second party room. Similar to the first room, the second room also had a moon bounce, inflatable slides and an inflatable obstacle course. The moon bounce was bigger and the obstacle course was more challenging. Our toddlers were not able to climb up some parts of the obstacle course by themselves, so many of the parents joined in on the fun and helped the kids go through the obstacle course.

Next up is snack time! We all went into a party room with two long benches that looked like they could seat 40 to 50 kids. The kids enjoyed their cake and ice cream before heading home.

Overall, I was impressed with how organized the staff were. They kept the party on schedule and they were courteous. Even a little thing such as having the shoe cubby rolled from the first party room to the second party room was helpful.

The facility is also clean and well kept. The two rooms are air-conditioned, just what you need when you have about 20 kids bouncing around non-stop. Parking is easy and free. Bonus: Pump It Up is located about five minutes away from Leesburg Outlet Premium Corner, so if your kids are old enough to be dropped off, take a break and go shopping.
