Customer Reviews

The girls spent their first day of Spring break at Launch. We did the escape room, which was fun, but not enough time (10mins) to find the clues to get out. They got the unlimited pass that included laser tag, dodge ball, and jumping for hours. They made a few new friends and had a blast.

We recently hosted a birthday party here, and it was an absolutely stress-free and fun experience. The staff was incredibly helpful, and we were especially grateful for Roan from the Launch team. His cheerful, energetic, and humble nature made a big difference. A huge thank you to the entire Launch team for making our son?s birthday such a memorable celebration!

Bought a party package for my 6 year old son?s birthday. He and his guests had a blast! Dad may have had a little fun doing flips too! The hosts were helpful and accommodating. The pizza is made onsite and surprisingly delicious! We've been to this location before and have always found it to be clean and well maintained. Looking forward to the next visit!

Launch is by far one of our favorite family entertainment venues in the Lansing area! It's clean, well maintained, and there's an overall nice flow to the experience of being there. We especially love their themed toddler times!

I have always been a fan of Jerry and his business, and his Launch Lansing location is no exception! Jerry and staff are kind, helpful, and cheerful. Launch is clean, fun, and all my summer kids loved it! My staff even got in some fun while hanging out with the kids and seeing everyone's smiles was fantastic! I'm pretty sure my daycare kids would love to make this a yearly thing!

We recently celebrated our 8-year-old son's birthday at Launch, and it was an absolute blast! The 3.25-hour experience, packed with trampoline fun, laser tag, and arcade games, kept all the kids entertained and thrilled. Our host, Roan, was phenomenal?going above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor made us feel like truly satisfied hosts. A huge thank you to Roan and the entire Launch Team for making this celebration so special!

We took my daughter here for her 11th birthday. She had a blast, the unlimited jump and Lazer tag prices were pretty fair. We enjoyed the small escape room and managed to survive the mine shaft. My only real complaint had to do with one of the girls working there with her toddler. She was so caught up in the guy she was flirting with she paid no attention to her daughter's diaper leaking everywhere nor the floor of children she was supposed to be monitoring. Instead, she was showing him her hand stands an

My son and I started to come when he was two years old. If you stick with them littles can definitely have fun as most people are very respectful of their space and exploration. They also have an employee on the jumping floor. My son is turning five soon and has a blast every time we come. We are extremely happy year round customers.

Everyone was so amazing!!! Had my son?s 6th birthday party yesterday. They made the planning easy online and over the phone if I had questions. Paige our party host Kathryn(?) up front! Caleb helped me decide it was right for our party in the beginning w how easy it was and how informative he was on the packages and what I could do for the party. And the sweet blonde working hard making pizzas in the back!! Pizza was delicious hubs asked me to take notes lol Everyone was awesome and my whole family enjoyed

My daughter absolutely loves Launch. It has always been very clean upon entry and exit. They have an awesome set up of the separate areas for arcade games, food areas and laser tag. The only thing I wish they offered more seating on the side of the actual trampoline area. It tends to be crowded especially during the holiday breaks. They have a toddler area with a small sign however I would suggest possibly more signage or a colored tape for the area. The bigger kids tends to run throughout the toddler area

The family had a great time, and all the staff were helpful and friendly. Kayleigh behind the snack counter was particularly wonderful, and the pizza she made was really good; not only that, but it appeared she was training a new employee, and she was very graceful with him while also serving her customers.

Birthday party, kids had a fabulous time. The staff was very attentive. Kristyna was our hostess. She was on top of taking the adults food order, so the kids food and adult food came together. She served all the kids there pizza and drinks. We will definitely go back. The kids jumped for an hour and a half. Then lunch, played Laser tag then on to the arcade. All included in price. The sign in staff was great. I would ask for Kristyna again!

Stopped in on a Saturday at noon so it was quite busy. We purchased 1.5 hr jump sessions for a 9 and 3 year old and they enjoyed their time. As an adult who likes to join in on this fun, I felt I couldn't because there were so many kids and not nearly as much jumping real estate as some of their competitors. Their jumping options felt limited and standard and I'm not sure the cost was worth the experience for the family. I wished for more seating options throughout the jumping area as it was packed with adu

As a parent that homeschools, I am always looking for activities to keep my 7 year old busy & active. After combing through reviews and then discovering that they offer Homeschool rates on particular days/times, we decided to give it a shot. Where to start... First and foremost, my daughter LOVES it here! It's a great opportunity to be around other kids as she freely plays and seems to make new friends each time. I have to credit the establishment in part because of the fact that their staff is actively pre

Great facility for kids and we enjoy it a lot every time we go. A few minor things I would recommend to make it a top-notch place, like: healthier food options for kids, a slightly less noisy arcade area, better protected toddler jump area, and better breakdown of membership options. But all in all, this place is exciting and does exactly what a fun place like that should do, it gets you to jump and bounce and have fun, and launch your energy in the right direction. Thanks guys.

Was my first time with the family at Launch and let me say it was awesome! So many things to do at this trampoline park, from obstacles, beams, tight ropes, dunk hoops, laser tag, and massage chairs! If you're going for the first time you'll have to buy their special socks but keep them so you don't have to buy them again it will save you money!

We visited for our grandchilds birthday. We had a party planner that made sure the events happened on time. Bouncing and lazer tag. And the arcade, tokens included for each child. The pizza that came with the birthday package was great. This is a really fun place to have a birthday party. We are already making plans for our other 2 grandchildrens birthdays.

Bring extra money for the Arcades is a rule of thumb whenever coming here. The lines can get long but on days like today [ Sunday ] there was no line. Tons of fun here. I never knew how much energy it took to jump on trampolines. Time goes both slow and fast and never lacking in enjoyment. Trust me, you and your kids will love it here.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! In a time where most places are lacking in customer service, this place SHINES with fabulous customer service. We had a large event and they took care of EVERYTHING! I was able to relax and enjoy a stress free evening! All the employees were so joyful and helpful! We will be back again next year!!! Shout out to Matt & Jerry for making my job easy!!! They were a true pleasure to work with!!!

This place is AWESOME! However a bit pricey. You have to buy socks from them to be able to bounce which is a bummer. But overall it's awesome. They have arcade games and laser tag as well. They have different areas of bouncing. For example a Dodge Ball jump area, a Course that reminds you of American Ninja Warrior, Toddler area, Basketball jump area and then common jump space area. You will definitely have a great time.

Launch was so much fun!!!! My friends and I had a lot of fun in dodge ball. I enjoyed when the employees joined in. Especially Roan he was very nice and friendly.

We held my husbands 35th birthday party here. It was a blast. We had a party full of adults, it was great. Even though there were several other parties and other guests, it wasn't crowded. We didn't have to wait for any of the activities. We loved laser tag, too! Our party host, Trayshawn, was delightful. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She made our experience top notch. We will be back!

My 7 year old had a good time. The bundle packages are worth it. We did jump, laser tag and used our arcade tokens and we had a blast. Would recommend! It is in the mall but it does have its own entrance.

Having a birthday party at a time of year where inclement weather can derail the entire day, the staff worked with me to find the most economical option for our situation. None of the party plans really fit our party, but the owner worked with me to come up with an alternative. He provided us with a party planner (Heather) who was WONDERFUL and the kids spent 5 hours at Launch and were still not ready to leave! I would recommend Launch to any parent of tweens/teens for their birthday.

First time at Launch for a birthday party. The concept/space isn't as open as other trampoline parks as I've gone to. But they do have other things to do like laser tag and arcade games. Pizza was good and staff were nice.

Hosted our sons birthday party and were very happy with everything including the great staff who covered every detail.

We had a private event here for our sorority and it was amazing! Jerry and Marvin were AMAZING and made the experience for us! Thank you both so much!!!!

Absolutely love this place! First time and had a great experience definitely a great place to take the kids! Marvin and Noah helped make our experience even better! Thanks again!

The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because although the Spring Break Special we got was a good deal, I found the regular pricing to be too high. Otherwise, the place is great! Tons of room, lots of activities, food available, clean, with friendly staff. Very happy to have gone!

We went with the intention of just jumping. However, when we got there I saw the $99 deal and that was perfect! Having 4 kids let them have fun jumping, battled each other in laser tag, and got a pizza snack on the way out! Only complain is the pepperoni pizza we got only had like 6 pepperoni?s on the entire pizza.

Had the very best customer experience at the Lansing/Okemos location. Would like to thank Matt and staff for helping a poor Daddy make his 11 yr old Birthday Girl so happy, despite his errors. I tried and failed to book a space and in the end they made my experience better than I could have hoped for or deserved. Thank you so much team. John Splawn

We are frequent fans, the jumping and arcade during toddler time is always clean and safe and fun. We enjoy the music and the staff is always positive and Sam was super helpful. Had our first birthday party and Auden was a great, calm and helpful host. Had everything needed and made it a smooth process. Thank you.

We had the best birthday party experience at Launch Lansing, thanks to our amazing host Nev!

Always an amazing experience with the kids. The General manager is awesome and we had the best laser tag experience today with Hannah! She is fun and friendly and makes it fun for everyone!

The kids had fun, although it wasn't clear that there were specific start times for the trampolines until after we purchased the tickets that were for a time slot that was 15 minutes in the past. I also wasn't impressed by an employee who was pressuring the kids to install an app without even consulting with an adult first. Most of the kids were under the age of 13 which may under the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Rule require explicit parental consent.

We had the best time at Launch. Came with my son and he had a blast. Gabe and Kayeleigh were so nice and attentive and even played with my boy a little. Great staff members!! Gabe deserves a A+ for his hard work.

Had a great Birthday party experience at Launch Trampoline Park Lansing. Our hostess Elizabeth was so helpful and made everything run smoothly. Perfect Birthday.

This is a great location for a birthday party or if you want your little to expend some energy on a day off school. Especially when you have no plans because you never know what they are going to be willing to do that day without hours of arguing. So yeah, this place was great.

Roan was a fantastic employee he played with my children and made their Launch experience a blast. Thanks Roan you're amazing.

We had a Bday party here , it was fun and decently organized. I would recommend to a friend

Nick made very great pizza and he was very kind. Would go again! Might even go as far to work here!

Everything is great, including the service! The only problem is the food, it's good but the pizza has WAY too much cheese and breadsticks are spicy! The fruit it also cut pretty bad, Melons have some rind left. But please cut back on the cheese. The adults had a hard time with it too. So the kids were worse off.

roan was a very nice person and help around the place. Showed me around and made my experience all the more better of this fine establishment!

I had a blast! The people were so nice! Jerry and Marvin were amazing and good refs for dodgeball!!

Great time! Kids had fun, never felt rushed with timel line. Hostess Kristyna was great!!

Best time ever!! Jerry and Marvin were so inviting and brought positive energy into our private event!!

Marvin & Jerry made my NSSLHA club experience SO FUN! They were amazing hosts!

We love launch! Purchased a groupon for 2 supercharged passes, redeemed no problem. We (my 2 and 8 year old) spent 6 hours here today, even bought lunch at the Krave restaurant because no one wanted to leave. Carmen and Josie were a joy and my kids loved them! Thanks for a great day

My son had his birthday party there today and it was awesome! It was well worth the money. There was a absolutely no headache in the process. It was a last minute booking too! 10 days out and they fit us in!!!! They took care of everything. Food was great. Aidan, our party host, was amazing. If the company sees this, give a girl a raise! She is an absolute gem! She kept everything on a great schedule, she even fed the kids! The smile never left her face. We loooved her. She took care of everything today. I

Great place for family fun. My seven year old loved this place. We will definitely go back!!

Kaeleigh did an amazing job with this pizza!! Thank you!! Will be coming back for more!

I had a party for my 7-year-old and nearly 30 other children and some of their parents. We had the mezzanine, jumping, laser tag and arcade. The kids loved the party and had fun non-stop! Setting up the party was a breeze thanks to the help and attention of the staff. Haliegh was an attentive host during the party, and her supervisor, Heather, got in touch with me early after my booking to take care of the logistics. Matt the local manager was very friendly and hard-working. He worked with me to help me mak

Preston was a great host for our son?s birthday party. He was very attentive and got us everything we needed. Overall, Launch did a great job handling all the work of the birthday party so we could enjoy the party and all the kids had fun.

Our club (at MSU) came for the evening and it was AMAZING! Marvin and Jerry were fantastic!!

My daughter had her birthday party at Launch. The staff were prepared and attentive. Additionally, one of the staff members, (who was still in training!) Annelise, did an amazing job with the children (Ages 5-7). She encouraged them to try different activities and even jumped with them a bit! This was much more than I expected from our party host, and it was greatly appreciated. I would absolutely recommend having a party here!

This was an amazing place to have a field trip. My 7th graders had a ton of fun jumping and playing laser tag. And the pizza was amazing! Jerry, Kaitlynne, James, Heather, and Marvin did a wonderful job taking care of our group. We will definitely consider bringing our students back in the future!

We had a birthday party for my nephew at the beginning of February. It was amazing! Our party coordinator, Max, was so attentive and helpful. He knew what we needed before we did, and was so willing to help with a last minute guest shuffle. Highly, highly recommend Launch for a hassle-free party.

This past summer my daughter did a half camp at Launch and had such a great time! She loved jumping, making friends, and doing crafts! She can't wait to go back this year for a full day camp! Also, they did a great job of getting us in last minute as our schedule changed. It was a life saver. Thank you!

An amazing place! We go here regularly. Our 5 year old enjoys all the trampolines and games the place has to offer. We also hosted his 5th birthday party there. It was amazing and everyone had lots of fun. The employees of Launch did everything possible to make sure the party went smoothly and everything went great. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Loved it. My kids loved the laser tag especially. Really nice set up for that. We also tried the mini escape room. You had 10 minutes to get out - it was right at their level so that I didn't have to do much. And the staff was amazing. High quality business. Everything was clean. Will be going back.

Combination of Laser Tag, Jumping Area, food, gaming, as well as party spaces for kids birthday.

The place was clean and well kept. The staff was super helpful and friendly. My kid's birthday party was hosted in the Huron Room and everyone had a great time!

I used to take my son almost 3 years old, staying next to my kid which is normal to take care of him, but one of the team members ask me rudely to stay away from green floors while I'm not playing just sitting on the gray carpet. I decided not to go there anymore and will have fun in different places.

We hosted my child?s birthday party at launch. We were assigned a party host. When the host was available they were great, but they also were making pizzas, cleaning up the food court area, and other tasks. Our host appeared to be the only one working, though there were other staff milling around chatting. The other staff around completely ignored us standing in line. It took 10 minutes of waiting before I went and stopped our party host making pizzas to help us check in. None of the other staff ackn

I took my grandsons to celebrate their birthdays--they had been there for a party a few weeks earlier but I had not. It was a lot of fun for them (ages 12 & 14) and they talked positively about the staff and experiences from the first visit. The place was a bit understaffed for a Friday afternoon/evening, but overall it was timed well and the staff was all friendly and upbeat and helpful. When 2 young boys from another family joined us for laser tag, our teams were lopsided, so Lili offered to play with us

Held a birthday party here, everything was great. Clear communication, staff double checked everything with us, even let us add on a few extras at the last minute. Everything was as advertised on the website. Birthday room was simple but it did the job. Kids loved the ice cream sundaes and various activities. Seemed well staffed (Sunday afternoon). Only suggestion would be more adult seating up in the jumping area. Would recommend.

Launch is such a great place! I loved how all the workers were so kind especially Roan!

Nickolas Smith was very nice to me. He gave me a tour of the place and was very friendly.

Had my 10 year old daughter?s birthday at Launch and it went fantastic. From signing up to date of the event, everything was handled smoothly. Hats off to our concierge, Andra, for the white glove customer service. His manager, Heather, made sure to check in and tie everything together. I would recommend to anyone.

Had the best time for my daughters 9th birthday party. They did amazing I would love to shout out Maleah she had amazing customer service and worked really well for my party size and all the things we needed. Even brought us a whole bowl of ranch lol. She definitely deserves recognition and a raise.

Met my granddaughter's family here on October 8, 2023 for my great granddaughter's 4th birthday. Some of the employees were very rude to them. My granddaughter had a cup with some candy in it. A worker told my granddaughter in a very unprofessional way that she couldn't have food or drink in the trampoline area. My granddaughter went & threw her cup of ice away & put the candy up. The worker again approached her & told her in a rude way that she saw her put the cup of candy under the blanket she had beside

Today we had our daughters 6th birthday at launch, and we had a blast! Everyone was pleasantly surprised how well it was handled, Preston was a great host! Very attentive, and always available to help us with anything, he even played with the kids, which I wasn't expecting but very glad he did, as I wasn't able to jump. Only thing we would have different is that everything wasnt at our pace, kids were hungry before the 90 minutes of jump time and then after eating they wanted to jump again, I wish that we c

We held our boys' birthday parties at Lunch, and it was the best experience. The staff was friendly, kind and accommodating at every step. Special shout-out to Jerry and Eliza for their kindness and professionalism!

Nick made a lot of pizzas today, and they were of very good quality!

My son played games at the arcade and the last game he played wasn't working but it took his credits. He was devastated (he's 6) but the manager, Jerry, more than made it right! I was hoping to just get the credits returned to the card but Jerry gave my son free play on the game so he could "win". It completely turned my son's night around from being completely ruined (remember he's 6) to being awesome. The entire crew at Launch is great but special shout out to Jerry!

Kaeleigh was very nice and very pretty and helped out a lot and made very good pizza

So my google profile name is a pseudonym. We had a child?s birthday party on 9-15-23 at the Okemos/Lansing location. Garrett was our host and James was also on duty. Both gentlemen were truly that- so gracious, friendly, accommodating, proactive and positive! They wore genuine smiles all night and seem like they truly enjoy being helpful. They made me feel confident and assured that our party would go smoothly and that we were in good hands. We got our room, our tables were set, our food fresh and bever

Absolutely loved it! Me and my siblings had the best time! Staff were super helpful, but definitely bring extra money!! ??????

Have taken my kids here once and planning to again. Had some confusion on redeeming some World Jump Day passes and Jerry cleared it up for us, great guy! The place is fun for kids and adults, there are also areas where non-jumpers can hang out and watch parts of the activities. We did pizza and other food on our last visit and it tasted good, kids ate it up! Make it a full night and you can slide in some kart racing on the other side of the mall after your jumps!

I felt like we were in prison. Not allowed to have my purse, my phone, coats or any other belongings. They said ?rent a locker, for a dollar,? however, EVERYTIME YOU OPEN THE LOCKER ITS ANOTHER DOLLAR! I had 4 kids with me so I'd guess that would be about an extra $40, with them needing drinks of their water (which also isn't allowed). The employees had attitude and my kids had a terrible time because they treated them like crap, after they found out they were my kids. I wasn't about to leave my kids water

Decided to celebrate my son?s 8th birthday here this past weekend with family and friends. We've attended once before and my son absolutely loved it! I purchased the A-List birthday package which is supposed to be the best package. However, I was very disappointed with our host, especially after all the money I spent on this package. The only time we saw our host was when she brought the pizza and beverages out, to notify us about our laser tag time which she was late in doing so, and at the very end of our

Granddaughter's Bday party, very pricey for room rentals. The kids did have fun, but 15 bucks for pizza? The big claw machine was almost out of prizes. Checking in, the person in charge was more worried about training a 15 year old then helping us. Will not return.

Staff and management are totally amazing! Both of my children lost their game cards before closing, and the manager, did not hesitate to help me with a smile. Very friendly and the pizza, hospitality and overall friendly atmosphere is what birthdays or fun days need.

We attended the Toddler Time on a Friday with our 2 year old son. The place was packed (and we got there right when it began.) I would've loved it if they capped the attendance sooner than they did as it would've been more enjoyable. The park is great though. Well maintained, clean and lots of fun options for kids and adults. The staff were all very friendly as well.

We celebrated our daughter's birthday here and had the best time doing so! The facility was clean, lots of great things to do here, and great staff. Ayza(our host) was amazing, upbeat, and attentive to our every need. Jump time was perfect for the kids and it was nice as a parent to just enjoy my time with my daughter and not run around and entertain everyone. Pizza was great also!

Went to launch yesterday. Had a blast! Olivia was so kind and helpful, I can truly see her positive impact on everyone there and the smiles she brings to faces. Will definitely be coming back!

Preston was a great host. Very attentive, helpful and available. Food was good. Great experience. Could have used a little more time in the room. Only got 45 minutes which made things a little rushed.

Kayleigh was awesome and handled our 7 year olds party so well. Super nice and friendly staff all together who really engaged with all guests. Overall, we were highly impressed with the ease of the party from start to finish. Best birthday location!

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.
