Adventure, gymnastics, and trampoline parks have become popular for families with young children. They offer a fun, exciting way for kids to burn off energy and improve coordination and balance. But as with any physical activity, it is essential to prepare your child for maximum safety and enjoyment. Let’s jump into it!

Teach the Basics at Home

Before your adventure begins, you’ll want to make sure your child’s been introduced to basic trampoline and other adventure skills. Most of all, they’ll need to get familiar with the sensation of jumping on a trampoline and building their confidence. You can set up a small trampoline in your backyard, use a mini-trampoline indoors, or if you’re stuck for options you can always hold hands with them and make it a game to jump up and down. Encourage your child to jump with both feet and practice bouncing up and down, as well as side-to-side.

Choose the Perfect Park

You want to choose an adventure park suitable for young children. Look for a park with separate areas for younger and older children, as well as safety features like padded walls and safety nets. Check websites or call ahead to find out if there are any specific rules or requirements for younger kids, like age or height restrictions.

Dress Them Appropriately

Make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the adventure park. This means comfortable clothes with lots of freedom of movement, like a t-shirt and shorts or leggings. Avoid strings or loose fabric that could get caught in the trampolines or slides. It’s also important to wear thicker or grippy socks to prevent slipping.

Explain the Rules and Get Clear on Safety

Before you leave for the adventure park, remind your child about safety and other rules: no running on the trampoline, jumping and sliding one at a time, and avoiding dangerous tricks. Emphasize following the rules and listening to the park staff. Review your safe jumping techniques, such as jumping with both feet and landing on the balls of the feet. Make sure your child knows to keep you in sight so that you don’t lose them in the mass of children.

Take Breaks and Hydrate

Jumping on trampolines and playing on slides can be tiring, so be sure they are taking breaks and stopping to rest and hydrate. This will help prevent fatigue and reduce your child’s risk of injury.

Remember to Have a Lot of Fun!

Most importantly, make sure your child has a great time. Jumping and sliding with other kids can be enjoyable and exciting for young kids. Encourage them to try new things and challenge themselves, but also respect their boundaries and limitations. If there’s something they don’t want to do, forcing them into it won’t help. You’re not just here to build character, you’re here to have fun and learn about play.

Plus, we are an indoor climate-controlled setting, so you don’t have to worry about bundling up in layers of clothing just to get outside. All you need is some comfortable clothes and ZavaZone socks!

We’ve taken every step to ensure our adventure park is a fun activity for everyone in the family, including adults, to do together.

If your kids are old enough, let them explore on their own; if not, tag along so they can have some extra supervision while they burn off those Winter zoomies (and hopefully tire themselves out).

If you’re eager to give your family a great time between shopping trips, here are five ways to make the most of your visit to our one-of-a-kind adventure park.

1. Plan Ahead

No adventure has been completed without sufficient planning.

Planning ahead can help you make the most out of your visit to ZavaZone. When you make your reservation with us, you can buy between 90 minutes and 3 hours’ worth of adventure.

Knowing what you want to do and accomplish before you arrive can help you save time and get the most out of your experience. We suggest planning to hit big-ticket attractions first, like the high ropes and ninja warrior course.

Planning ahead can help you avoid long wait times and maximize your fun at ZavaZone Potomac Mills.

2. Don’t Forget Your ZavaZone Socks

ZavaZone socks are required in order to participate in any of the activities at ZavaZone. If you don’t have any, you can purchase a new pair when you check-in. If you do have a pair of ZavaZone socks, you can bring them from a previous visit.

3. Fill Out the Waiver Ahead of Time

At most trampoline and adventure parks, including ZavaZone, visitors are required to fill out a safety waiver before they are allowed to participate in any of the activities.

This is because these parks want to ensure that all visitors know the risks involved in participating in these thrilling activities.

Be warned that filling out the waiver at our location can cut into your adventure time. We suggest using our online option to fill out the waiver ahead of time and avoid long wait times at the check-in counter.

4. Make a Beeline for the Climbing Walls

Indoor wall climbing is one of the most popular activities in the United States. People of all ages and fitness levels enjoy indoor rock climbing for its physical and mental challenges.

At ZavaZone, we have one of the most competitive wall-climbing experiences in the area. Our face-off walls are especially popular because they offer a unique challenge for climbers of all levels.

Hit the face-off wall early and use the competition as a way to decide who plans out the rest of your day at our Potomac Mills adventure park.

5. Take a Break and Refuel in the Cafe

ZavaZone does not allow outside food or drinks without an additional fee. However, the park’s cafe offers a variety of refreshments and food options that visitors can enjoy.

Take a break from our adrenaline menu at the park and enjoy our cafe that is open daily. Grab a slice, order a soda, and catch your breath before jumping into your next adventurous activity.

Self-esteem can be a tricky thing. When your self-esteem is out of balance or feeling low, it can affect nearly everything else in your life. While you can find hundreds of resources to build your self-esteem, we thought of one that you may not have: adventure parks!

We’ve put together some of the top ways a trip to ZavaZone’s adventure park can build your self-esteem.

5 Top Ways an Adventure Park Helps Build Self-Esteem

• Build Confidence

Adventure parks are an amazing way to rev up your confidence. Is there any better feeling than going through a ninja course or obstacle course and coming out a champion?

It may be a small feat at the time, but you would be surprised how a simple accomplishment can lay the groundwork to start boosting your self-esteem.

• Overcome Fears

An adventure park provides a safe and fun way to overcome certain fears. Fear of heights? Strap in and scale a climbing wall or take turns going through the high-ropes course.

Whether you’re five or fifty, we all have certain fears that we can overcome in an exciting and controlled environment.

• Release Endorphins

Whether you go for a full day or just a few hours, adventure parks like ZavaZone are a great way to get your heart pumping by enjoying all the exciting attractions.

Whether you’re working your way through the vertical zone or getting a workout on the oversized trampolines, activities like this release endorphins, helping you recenter and have a more positive outlook on life.

• Work Out Tension

Your self-esteem can suffer when you struggle with stress and tension, and it’s common to run what’s stressing you out over in your head, leading to more stress. It could be school or work-related or could be a specific issue you’re dealing with. No matter the issue, spending time in an adventure park where you can just unwind by jumping in a massive bounce house or trampoline can help you forget what’s troubling you and enjoy the activity.

• Socialize in a Fun Atmosphere

It’s been said that positive interaction is a huge key to good self-esteem. What better place to find it than at an adventure park?

Maybe you go as part of a corporate retreat where you get to see Fran from HR has a real competitive side in trampoline dodgeball or battle your VP on the battle beam; adventure parks offer experiences that are sure to get you out of your element.

It’s also a great place to meet new people, even if it’s just getting some laughs in during a bounce house session!

Positive self-esteem can bring so many other benefits into your life. Although there are many great resources out there, why not try one that is sure to leave you laughing and smiling like ZavaZone adventure park?
