Customer Reviews

We have always loved blazing bouncers. I appreciate that it gives my kids a fun way to exercise out of the heat and cold. We had an exceptionally good experience tonight. Another child was harassing our child and refused to leave him alone. We were unable to resolve the issue on our own. I notified a staff member that we were having an issue and she addressed it immediately. She checked back in with our family multiple times to make sure we were okay and double check that the other child and family were lea

Fun place for the kids but you have to purchase one of their birthday packages in order to celebrate a birthday. You cannot sit at a table and bring in a cake even though you are purchasing food and drinks there. Website does not make it clear. Kids had fun and that is the main thing. Birthday boy didn't get sung happy birthday to him or enjoy cake with his family and friend he brought with him. They need to update their policies section of their website to state ABSOLUTELY NO OUTSIDE FOOD UNLESS IN A B

Bouncers are good. A good little workout for an 11 yo boy needing to expend some energy. Several arcade machines were down as well as some of the escape rooms, so VERY limited options aside from the bouncers. Free to watch. Very friendly informative front desk girl.

This place is awesome!!! Lotsa fun for everyone! The rates for the party rooms are affordable! The party rooms are supplied with tables, chairs and lots of other great features depending on what you're wanting! There's plenty of staff at the door to make sure kids don't run out alone. Just a super fun place

Went here for a birthday party, and my kids absolutely loved it! The staff was very friendly as well. We'll definitely be back

This place is awesome, my kids would go everyday if I'd let them. It's not too expensive, I feel the price is fair for what you get. We were there for 2 hours on a friday, we got there at about 4 and by 5 it was packed with kids. We will probably go earlier in the morning next time but overall it was a blast! Highly recommend you take your kiddo's! *Update* 1/29/23 We were back again today for like the tenth time and the kids are still obsessed with it. They also added a new obstacle course to the big boun

The only reason this is 4 stars instead of 5, is because the escape rooms weren't really working. That could also be user error. The service was great as always, and all the kiddos and adults had a blast!!! I love this place. Actually, I'm giving 5 stars despite the escape rooms.

We had been to the older location for a birthday party previously but we loved this new location with lot of spaces and well planned/organised play areas. Our kids really enjoyed playing here and spent good time. We definitely appreciate the management for having a nursing room, well planned and maintained. my wife was really impressed and was able to use the nursing room comfortably taking care of our baby! We never happened to see a nursing room separately else where in the city we had been before. We lov

Fun, fun, and more fun! Enjoyed a couple of hours at the bouncing place with my grandson. It's worth the price!

WOW, IMPRESSIVE FUN FOR ALL I was fairly impressed by the size of this place. I'm from Oklahoma City and we have many indoor playgrounds but nothing that is this big. It is truly the biggest single moonbounce that I have ever seen. In addition to the ginormous main moonbounce, if you are in one of the large party rooms, they each have their own private, standard-size moonbounce that is strictly for your group. They then have a smaller one in a different area for younger kids (under 3). Then there is a gre

We liked the old location for our little ones parties but I think the new facility will be wonderful for her upcoming birthday party. Friendly staff make events easy. They are still not done adding things on. Really fun and we look forward to seeing what they have planned.

UNBELIEVABLE! This place has EVERYTHING a kid could want to play with! $9 to play all freaking day! It has balance beams, obstacle courses, bounce houses, interactive floor gaming, old school video arcade games, trampolines, chalkboards, slides, themed rooms, basketball hoops, a life sized chess board, foosball, snack bars, an airplane to crawl around in, a fire truck....the list goes on!

Took my 3 year old and 1 year old, I love that there is something for all ages and the dinosaurs having realistic features like moving and blinking was just the cherry on top. We all had a wonderful time and the prices are perfectly affordable!

I threw a birthday party for my children here and the staff was amazing! More specifically our host! So shout out to Marisela (can't remember if her name is spelled with a "c" or an "s"). She helped with the set up and exceded my expectations of her role by tackling some tasks that I would not have been able to get to in a timely manner. Seriously Amazing! I don't think most people understand how stressful party planning can be but if she is a representation of how the rest of the staff operates, then they

Lots of fun for children and adults too! The big bounce house is adult and kid friendly which was perfect for our party group. The staff was great as well. There's a snack bar with cheap snack options, a gift shop, and an arcade that is really neat! Will be back for sure!

I had gone back before they switched buildings. It was just okay. Now it's pretty awesome. I had a blast with my 5 and 3 year old. There's lots to do for all ages of kids and even adults. Very clean place too.

A great place for parents to sit while kids wear themselves out. Decently priced. There are lifesized dinosaurs, and the biggest bounce house I have ever seen. The arcade (Arcave) is really impressive.

Enough space people can spread out and have some fun. Activities for all ages but mainly for younger ones. Can rent rooms for parties but still enjoy entire facility. Snacks are sold onsite but if you rent a room you can bring your own party supplies. Basketball hoops available along back wall. Pay one price and play all day. Seating and game room for not as active adults.

Very fun place to be at. Kids will definitely get exhausted for too much things to do. New stuff now

Great place for kids of all ages! Update:Everything is broken! Seriously, most of the games don't work and eat your points. The bounce area is falling apart, tape and holes everywhere. They need to shut down and do some maintenance, badly.

Our daughter absolutely loves it and so do we. My husband might as well be a big kid!?? If I had one complaint it would maybe be to have staff monitoring the big play area. Kids are climbing on parts they shouldn't be and falling/jumping down almost crushing our toddler in the process.

I wasn't that pleased with it for my 2 year old daughter and even for the older kids . They would have a better time at main event . That's just my opinion ???????

My kids had the best time and everything was so reasonably priced! We could have spent all day there

I went for a birthday party. I wanted to try a pretzel from the concessions area. I asked they had any pretzels and the guy asked the folks in the back. They kind of hesitated and said yes. When it was ready my wife and daughter tried a piece and there was a chemical smell to it. My wife took it back to tell them and the kid smelled and asked if he can try it. He said that this is the way it smells and taste on a regular basis. I would not recommend any food options.

Kids&Grandson loved it not pricey either also has a arcade&2 snack bars Whole place is like a big bounce house Cool&Fun

This was our first birthday event there. Everyone had a great time and the staff was amazing. I loved how Susan kept coming back to check on us and also helped us decorate the party room. The only changes I would make was at least give 30 minute entry time to decorate and at least 3 hours for party time, just because guests come in at different times. Overall great experience. We will book again.

First time being here at the new location for a bday party. My daughter and her friends had a great time. Definitely will come back for open jump sometimes.

My 4 & 3 year old love this place. There's a hidden slide in a party room. Basketball hoops in the other. The play place is big. It's more than just bouncers!

Took my daughter for a birthday we got invited to. The bouncer is huge. The bathroom could have used a little maintenance for how busy they were. There is a tree house that has a few things that are interesting. A bunch of empty play rooms that don't make any sense. The only thing about it that my daughter enjoyed was the bouncing and climbing the tree house. Other than the arcade and the snack area that's all there is to offer. Would be more entertaining if the empty rooms had some sort of entertainment fo

Our granddaughters, age 2 & 3, loved this place! We'll definitely go back.

Great place to enjoy with the kids. Very clean and fun

These photos are outdated. Pros: they have new bouncers, totally nee design. They moved their gaming area to its own space so it doesnt feel so congested in the walkways and eating area Cons: Several games are broken, many of them are two player games, ski ball is missing balls... The houses are largely empty - no toys because they've been stolen/broken/thrown on top of houses from the second level tree house. I would love to see the little kids area updated.

OH MY GOSH! This place is INCREDIBLE!! Went in just expecting a few bounce houses and this place is so much more!! My kids and I had a blast!! It's also so clean and everyone is very nice!! I cannot recommend this place enough!! It's also so affordable! So grateful this place exists!!

So much fun! You get to bounce with the kids, cute little playroom, and a toddler area.

Blazing Bouncers is still fun but it's gotten pretty run down. We went today and they still have nothing in the rooms where the pretend restaurant and grocery store use to be. It's been like 3 years now. They put in a new ball thing in the pretend mechanic shop and there were no balls. The main inflatable seem to not have enough air in it like it has before. The huge wrecking ball thing hasn't had air in it for about 2 years maybe. The games are way to expensive to only get 2 tickets out of them. It just wa

Checked out the new location today. It is crazy awesome! It has everything, pretend grocery store/kitchen/garage/etc, tons of huge bounce houses and obstacles, and games. We stayed for almost 5 hours and my daughter still didn't want to leave!

This place was way more than we expected! And they are adding more! They have a GIANT inflatable obstacle course! Also an arcade, concession stand, toddler area, and play bakery, pizza place, fire truck, etc. They have plenty of seating for parents if they do not want to participate. Also a private party area for parties. You could seriously spend HOURS here. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend for anyone with kiddos.

Kids had so much fun! Can't wait to go back

I think depending on the age of the kids, this place could be fun. It is definitely not for toddlers though. The "toddler area" from what I could tell from other reviews and online was supposed to be the firetruck, the restaurant, etc. It was just empty rooms? They did have one smaller bouncer and it was okay. I did note they weren't too clean. With bigger kids it could for sure be fun and even for parents.

I love this place. My son has a blast here, and we are planning his 3rd BDay party here

My daughter had a blast and the Manager was super helpful.

Amazing. If your youngins enjoy bounce houses, this is the place to go. They have arcade and video games for nearly every taste. They have a snack bar with a great selection of goodies. Their pizza is made fresh and, in my opinion, is one of the best in Lubbock. They are continually upgrading and are working on panic rooms for your enjoyment as well as numerous other attractions.

My kids love this place and I love how they are always upgrading and improving! The only complaint I have is we spent more money on arcade games that didn't work than we did on the ones that do! Otherwise, a great place.

Brayden Boyd birthday was awesome! Place was very impressive!

Had a wonderful 4th birthday ??! Great place for the whole family ?? ? ??

What an awesome place to have a party. I love the personal party rooms.

Fun for all. They've added alot of new jumpers, basketball goals and game since last time I visited Super Clean & Really Nice Folks

Always fun! Clean place, especially considering the kid foot traffic, friendly helpful staff. Attended a birthday party here and had a blast! After the party room closed (2 hour room rental was over) we were able to stay in the public areas as long as we wanted to bounce, play video games and enjoy the playground. Check-in was super fast and easy, too, just scanned the barcode sent by the host to my phone and immediately got bracelets and directions to our birthday girl's room! Definitely want to go back ag

Great place to take your kids to play. Birthday party rooms are fun but expensive for only 2 hours, i believe. All together, it's a fun place

We always love it here but the new updates!!!! Wow wow wow! So cool with all the new Dinos and a freaking awesome arcade! They even got a new jumbo bounce house! This is the place to be if you have kids!!!!

We had a super fun time, my toddler (& husband) throughly enjoyed the bounce area! The only comment I would make is that if you have small children, you'll want to accompany them because there is a lot of rowdiness from older kids going on in the play area. This didn't bother us much bc we realize the older kids are just having their fun too. However, just something to be aware of. The arcade and toddler only area were very nice and lots of activities for the kids to do (pretend ice cream shop, pizzeria, ca

A lot of the games are broken which is a bummer. But overall my kiddo had a good time!

Blazing bouncer used to be a fun place to hang out and take my kids but lately Their popcorn machine is down EVERY SINGLE TIME WE CAME THIS MONTH not to mention, we aren't able to get any of the other food and snack items they offer constantly out

Great place to take your kids! Huge bounce house area, small arcade, several other play areas.

Great experience for our son's birthday. Our server Lillian went above and beyond, and we appreciate that immensely.

Pricing is very good, loads of kids running around like maniacs and plenty of segregated areas for different age groups. There didn't seem to be any issues with loads of older kids jammed up with toddlers. They also have private areas for if you wanted to schedule a party. Can't recommend enough! (Also- you pay by the kid for the whole day, unlike some places I've been to where you pay per person)

I went in to buy some passes; the manager pretty much called me a liar for trying to get a military discount on the passes. I was told they have never done that there or in the other location. I have been doing it for years in the other place. They came from off 1585. I walked out, not military friendly anymore and stated I was a lier

Arcade, lots of bounce houses, dinosaurs and looks like more to come. Great fun for kids

This place was alot of fun. We had a party for our granddaughter and I think I may have had more fun then she had.

Love the 1st Tuesday free bounce with their shirts!

Love this place. Great selection of games and old school arcade games

Great place for kids, and there always updating the experience.

I love the facility! It's always nice and the kids have a blast. One major flaw is that there is no one checking kids when they leave. I would love to let my kids run around without worrying about someone trying to take them. It would be a 5 star if there was someone checking to make sure the kids left with the person they came with.

My kids loved this lace so clean very exciting and full of fun

It was different from what I originally thought it was going to be, and I'm really glad it wasn't just another trampoline place.

The best in the business. They make sure to take care of their customers, and just genuinely, really good people. Very clean facility as well. I trust that they would treat me with fairness. Respect, and honesty, if I ever had a problem. Highly recommend. Very fun place for the kid with tons of neat inflatables, great, big party rooms, fair prices, and fun games!

Fantastic place! Creative experience for kids! A lot to do! Bouncy place and do much more! Kids of all ages will love this amazing entertainment area! I encourage people to try it out! Adults are free with a paying child! Perfect for the summer heat! Bring a water bottle as kids will work up a sweat! Fun, fun, fun!

This was my first time but it was really awesome

Nice staff and my kids always have a good time. We forgot to bring forks for our guests and my party helper ran and got me some from the snack bar. They helped clean up as well, I didn't even have to ask

Clean, kids had a blast!

My 2 yo enjoyed it a lot. Lots of different aged kids. Good toddler play area, but she got on/in everything else as well without any issues. Bathrooms were clean. Price is not bad. All in all enjoyed a little over an hour wearing out the kiddo!

My daughter and son-in-law have had birthday parties here for 2 of my grandchildren & we had a blast! Awesome setup and there is so much for the kids to do they cant get enough! Nice rooms for parties away from the play area but close enough for everyone's convenience. Nice clean restrooms and very friendly & helpful staff! Great place!!!

This place denied my 62yr old mother entry because she had a 2mo old tiny shih tzu. Then they served burnt pizza to my cousins kids birthday party didn't try to correct the mistake the young guy that was helping with the party was clues and the African American lady sitting at the door is ghetto.

Blazing Bouncers provides an exhilarating and laughter-packed experience that transcends the ordinary trampoline park. The facility is well-maintained, ensuring a safe environment for bouncers of all ages. The diverse range of trampolines and activities caters to both adrenaline seekers and those looking for a fun, active day out. What sets Blazing Bouncers apart is the infectious energy of the staff. Their enthusiasm and commitment to ensuring everyone has a blast create a positive atmosphere that radiate

So fun for me and my kids the restrooms are nasty but it is fun and affordable

A very fun and large indoor play area, relatively inexpensive costing $12 a child and adults get in free. They have a small arcade area, a toddler obstacle course thing and a huge inflatable bouncer house. You can stay as long as you want, unlike some other places so that's a big plus. Make sure you eat before going because they don't really have a good food selection.

Our kids 3,5 and 7 had a great time! I wish we had something simular where we've in ohio to burn off steam. Big has more than just bounce houses like tree houses and games.

We love this place! My daughter is still pretty young, but there are many things for her to do here! I love that when the party rooms are hot being used, we have free roam. This is an awesome establishment and will be our go to from now on when we need a nice place indoors to play!

I go there once a month and it is pretty amazing how much stuff there is for kids to do. The only bad things are how many screens there are and expensive prices...

3 yr old niece had a b-day party there and the place is awesome. Plenty for kids of all ages to do. Party rooms are like having your own backyard w a couple of jumpers in it. The whole place was very clean. Very impressed with the cleanliness of the bathroom facilities as well. All the employees were very helpful and nice. Highly recommend!! ??

Had one of the backyard party areas. Spacious and fun. The host was in and out checking (Ryan did great mgmt, great!). Only suggestion is having another table for use for the parents. We had one for cake, treat bags etc and one for the presents but that is minor. Others were for party goer's. Overall great!

The lady at the front desk was super sweet enthusiastic and helpful. Remember you need socks to play. If you forget them they sell them pretty cheap up front. Several of the attractions were missing pieces like the grocery store and restaurant... Which was pretty disappointing I understand that all the kids makes it hard but if that is what you're advertising there needs to be something figured out to keep that for future kids. I would appreciate it if there was a way to lock the front door that way you cou

Nice and clean and very helpful they do everything so u can enjoy the party to, the kids love this place

Good cost for all day indoor play. Looks like, as of now 5-18-2024, they're building a dinosaur themed area. Looking forward to that!

Just went to the brand new facility! It is fantastic! Clean and bright, new construction, huge inflatable play place, a kids grocery store, kitchen, fire station and garage. They also have a nursing room that is clean, quiet and homey. Will definitely continue to make the 2 hour drive so my kiddos can enjoy it!

I had my four year old little girls birthday party there and it was great! Love that I did not have to decide on who to invite since it's unlimited guests! My daughter was blown away with the restaurant! I will definitely be going back!

My daughter had her birthday party here and we had the best time. It had rooms with differnt thing for the kids to do one room was little grocery store with shopping carts and fake food one looked like a classroom with desk and whiteboard and of course the bouncy houses. My daughter loved it.... i had the most fun i have had in a while.

Love this place! I can be a kid again in my 60's! The adult gets to go free you pay for your child. My grandkids love "the bounce house". I love to jump and play with them. It is so much fun! You as the parent don't have to but it makes a wonderful experience for them, but then again you can let them run and play all they want. There is basketball too! Wonderful place to have a birthday party. Makes you realize you might want to get yourself to the gym to keep up with the kids. Wonderful place to go??

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
