Customer Reviews

We had a very large birthday group of 21 kids (yikes I know), and our party hostess London was absolutely phenomenal! She was organized, responsive, hardworking and kind to not just the children but the parents as well! 110% recommend London

I had a great experience here! It was my first time taking my son. We went for toddler time, and they didn't disappoint. There were only other toddlers there, and it made his experience so wonderful. He had a blast, and I didn't have to worry about him getting run over by older kids, he could just jump to his hearts content. He's on the spectrum and doesn't understand when it's not safe to be in an area yet. I loved being able to let him have fun with no worries. Extra bonus he loved the pizza! The service

We hosted birthday party of our 3 year old at Launch yesterday. It was an absolute blast, where all kids and their parents had a lot of fun jumping around. It was pure joy. Icing on cake was our party host Jeanette who not only greeted everyone personally, was very courteous and was just simply fun to be around. She had everything put together, decorated beautifully and on top was super friendly but professional with both parents and children. Everyone absolutely loved her!! We highly recommend this place

In addition to having my daughter?s birthday party at Launch several years ago, they have hosted end of season cheer events for my daughters school and the service has always been stellar. Detra, one of the managers has been nothing but a joy to work with. She's gone up and beyond to ensure our visits were well organized and enjoyable! The staff are AMAZING-professional, courteous, and accommodating. I cant say enough good things about this establishment and their staff. If you're looking for a great time

My son and his friends enjoyed his birthday party at Launch at the Midlothian location. Ms. London did an awesome job, she kept the kids busy and on schedule with all the attractions. The kids and parents enjoyed the food as well! Will definitely go again for family time! I highly recommend Launch for your family fun events, birthday parties, etc. I confess as a parent, the kid in me wanted to jump too!????????

I booked a last minute event at Launch for our homeschool group on a rainy Wednesday. The kids had an absolute blast! The staff was very friendly and helpful. They went above to make sure the kids really enjoyed their time there. We're looking forward to the next event already!

We hosted our son's 7th birthday party here and had such an awesome experience. Chastity (the manager) and Makayla (the host) were wonderful and it was a seamless event from the time we got there until the time we left. Kids loved it, pace of the party was great 10/10 would recommend.

The jump portion we had no issues with. The laser tag is unorganized and they need to do better at this. My kids had been waiting in line for the laser tag, and was passed over 2 almost 3 times before we said something for a birthday party. There should be a time slot for birthday parties so young kids aren't waiting to start their game only to go inside and asked to leave because a birthday party comes first. We pay for entry just like everyone else. The workers need to be educated more for these situation

Caleb was amazing watching him entertain 78 year-old kids playing dodgeball filled my heart with joy. Way to go Kayla. Also the two young ladies that checked me in tomorrow London will also amazing. Isabella was also amazing you could tell her genuine heart here with the kids and just talking with the customers great team here today thank y?all so much for y?all?s genuine heart

Launch provided the best birthday party for my child yesterday! The check in was seem-less, our party host decorated our room with the supplies I brought. I was able to walk around and take photos and videos of my children. The facility was clean! The kids commented how much they loved the trampoline course and laser tag. When the food arrived my host served all the kids and adults. Once again I was able to enjoy myself as a parent and spend time with family. The host gave me a break down on what will happe

I appreciated the customer service!. There was an extended wait period on our food and staff was more than accommodating. I also appreciated the constant cleaning and disinfecting being conducted by staff. Additional staff could be helpful in the kitchen but other than that everything was perfect. The game attendant were very aware and accommodating to any children in need while playing.

My four-year-old son and I had a great time at the trampoline park. We also enjoyed playing video games. They have a full snack bar with frozen treats. We went for toddler time, which was great because there were no teenagers to worry about. There was plenty of staff. Everything was very clean.

We had an end of season outing at Launch with a few cheerleaders and it was nothing short of amazing. Isabella, London and Tyra were very accommodating, understanding and informative given it was a large group of us that came in(without a heads up lol). The young men that worked the middle section were very respectful as well. You don't often see young staff members with manners nowadays but I informed them that I would definitely leave a review. We will definitely be back! It was late so I didn't get to s

Horrible experience, first time booking a birthday party and it was severely unorganized. My party was booked and paid for to start at 2:30 I did not get into the party room until after 2:35. I was told that I could arrive at 2:15 to decorate for the party. My guests started arriving at 2:30 and we were waiting in the lobby area. The party that was in the room before us was still in there and informed me that no one told them that another party was coming in! Which was appalling to me because I was lied to

Best 9th birthday party for my nephew! We had 6 extra kids on top of 16 kids and London was so professional and fun! Truly a great time and great experience all because of London and her team!

We attended a birthday party for our granddaughter, Dillon was the young man in charge of our room, he was absolutely wonderful! The facility is great, the pizza was really good and the bathrooms were spotless! I was very impressed ??

Our family loves this trampoline park! We ended up getting the membership for all 3 kids and had a few birthday celebrations. We love this location. Everyone is super nice and helpful!

I reserved a spot for my daughter's 11th birthday and the staff here went above and beyond to make it an enjoyable experience. Our hostess even served all of the pizza and drinks as well as asked if we would lime her to cut the cake. Not at all was I expecting all of this, but it was very much appreciated. Facility was clean and everyone had a great time

Our host was wonderful she explained the hr in 40 mins planned. The party was a huge success and we will come back for my son?s party in May. My daughter can't wait to use her hr. Jump time for free.

My son had an awesome 5th birthday ! Our party host Taylor was amazing and helpful. The staff and management were very friendly and treated our guests very well. My son and his friends were all smiles! Book Launch for your next birthday or event ! ??

It was a fun experience for my son and nephew. Had a lot of different trampoline activities with an obstacle coarse, a launch pad, basket ball hoops, and dodgeball arena. Only complaint o have is it was FREEZING in the building. I had on a winter coat and was still cold.

Grandkids had a blast! Really appreciate the Toddler time. Not as busy and chaotic as it would be with all the bigger kids. Place was clean, staff was great and welcoming.

I absolutely love this place. The staff is always super friendly. It's very clean and have a lot to offer for a trampoline park. We have been to many parks like this but I like the open area and I feel like I can always see my kids. I love the small play area for my 15 month old daughter. Erica is an absolute sweetheart! We have been here countless times and though the staff is young I love that they play, jump and make sure small but all children are safe. My daughter found a couple of the young people th

My daughter had an amazing 8th bday at Launch Richmond! This place is by far better than all the trampoline parks in the Richmond, VA and surrounding areas. They not only have trampolines that flow nicely into other areas of the building they also have a battle pit, ninja course, dodge ball arena, basketball, dive pit area and then best of all Laser Tag which is two levels and nicely decorated and better than Laser Quest! The lasers are so accurate lol kids and adults had a blast! They also have a leg up on

I took my grandsons during a peak time on Saturday, March 26, 2022. Upon entering the staff were professional and had time for each customer. The young people monitoring the games were pleasant and compassionate to the kids. We were there for an hour, my grandsons had red cheeks and wanted to be sure they came back the next time they visited me.

We had an amazing time at a friends birthday party. The staff made checking simple and was friendly and helping the entire visit. I have been to a few similar type of places. Besides the staff the two things that stood out are the variety of opportunities for the kids- it is not just a trampoline place and perhaps more importantly, a large comfortable area for parents to hang out or work while their kids are having a great time. We will back soon!

We had a Jumpin Joey party for our son?s second birthday party. It was a blast. All I had to do was bring the decorations and cake and Jeanette (our amazing party host) did it all so we could enjoy as parents. Jeanette was able to add add-ons if we wanted and she really made our sons day so special. Highly recommend her as your party host! The facility was clean, the toddler time on Saturday was perfect for his age group. We were able to leave with no clean up! She did it all. We will be booking a party aga

I would like to thank your young fellas for entertaining my grandson, we got there at 5:30pm they closed at 7pm for a Special event therefore there wasn't a lot of kids. One of the fella even join him in laser tag.

4? stars. Everything turned out well from booking to the end. I love the discounts available. I choose Launch because they had laser tag unlike other places. A representative called days before to confirm details. Mya our host was excellent. She was very attentive, a step ahead, on time w/the schedule and patient with me when the teacher helper in me started serving pizza which was her role???????. I loved that she even jumped with the guests. 4? stars-Although we were able to stay in the room a little lon

Fun place to take the kids to burn off some energy. We came for Toddler time which is on Saturday mornings from 10a-12p, and just for kids 5 and under. The place is pretty clean and adequately staffed. They offer arcades, food stand, and rooms for birthday parties. It's also fun for adults

I'm giving this place a three simply because of how disgusting their food is!!!!! The pizza taste like cardboard, the fries taste old, and the Marinara sauce taste like tomato paste. The experience is nice for the kids for sure, but I don't recommend eating here. It's a waste of your money.

It is a nice place just not a lot of different things to do like sky zone. The pizza was ok but there was not a lot of choices to choose from and they were out of candy and had limited food items. You pay 17.00 for one hour when you can get an unlimited pass for 26.00 at sky zone. I felt like that was not worth the money but my grandson had a great time even though he notice how skyzone has more activities to do.

We went yesterday for a birthday party and my children had a wonderful time as always. We come here every now and then because my children love it here because there is do much to do: jumping, arcade, food, lasertag. The party host was so nice and helpful. I must point out the young gentleman that was working the food area. He was amazing! I told him my son had a dairy allergy and asked about what was in a certain product and he took time to check the ingredients for me. He was so sweet and helpful the whol

We had our son?s birthday party here and there was some initial confusion with overbooked rooms, but Khamara and the team did a fantastic job sorting it out quickly and making sure we had a wonderful experience. Our son and his friends had a blast!

Today we celebrated my son's birthday and "accommodating" does not describe how phenomenal the Launch Richmond staff was. The staff was friendly, in tune to visitors needs and staff was seen sanitizing the facility throughout our entire visit. The manager Shanyce was actively engaged in every aspect of our experience from the planning, all the way to the clean up. She could be seen assisting and managing her staff at every facility station to include the kitchen, engaging and responsive to guests to ensure

We already loved Launch, but this was my first time having my son's birthday party there. The kids had a great time! My only complaint is the food. The pizza was not good, although I wasn't expecting it to be. One of the other parents purchased mozzarella sticks and fries and they did not like either at all! Otherwise, everything else was great!

My daughters birthday party was such a success. The place is very clean and the staff made sure we had sanitizer for the guests. They gave us our own host and she was the sweetest! Thank you Gabby for making my baby girl?s birthday absolutely perfect ??

Everyone was absolutely amazing. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Joey is amazing and a delight to have around! We had a wonderful birthday party today and we appreciate everyone. To Miss Jeanette, thank you for being an amazing host and a beautiful soul.

Owners beware, employees seem to be closing an hour earlier. If you are aware of this, then you may as well close forever. Arrived at 1900 and while filling the waivers, a staff member told us they are closed. Their door schedule clearly shows they should be open until 2000. How do you explain that to your main customers? (The kids).

We went here on a Sunday afternoon. Maybe we just picked a bad day or time to come. I was going to order a pizza for my family but they ran out of pizza. Ordered mozzarella sticks and it took 30 minutes for that.

The reason I give this place 1 star only: overpriced laser tag experience ($60 for 10 minutes for a group of 4 although confirmation email said it was 20 minutes), disgustingly loud music, burnt food smell everywhere, overpriced drinks, not many jumping options, ignorant game marshalls, dirty restrooms, half of the arcade games don't work. Kids had fun because it was their first time playing laser tag, but I prefer bringing them to Sky Zone for jumping around. This place is disappointing and expensive.

We went for a birthday party and the kids loved it! My daughter was bouncing off the walls. We will definitely be back to have even more fun!

I DON?T RECOMMEND ANYONE GOING HERE So let me start bye saying employees did job as best they could considering. The factors?.maybe management needs a stiff talking to verify the night workers are doing their job. First my group for laser tag was split up unable to play as a party/group and the ones that did play ended up have dead/bad vest laser suits. Half my time was trying help other get vest working or switching out. For my child and others. Had employees also playing Dodgeball now these kids are gro

Amazing family fun! Clean, safe, enjoyable. Great deal for one hour of fun and great way to tell when your time is up - audio call out for colored bands. Great for all ages. Update. Great air conditioners and great place to spend afternoon of lazy summer days.

Fun but busy on a Saturday. Great for kids to get energy out. They have trampolines and some arcade games. As well as laser tag.

I had my son party here last weekend. The reason my rating is so low is because my host wasn't friendly at all. To the children nor adults. Majority of the time I was unable to locate him smh. I was never told that the package I purchased would not come with a private room. I was told the rooms were $75 extra. I spoke to the manager and she waiver the fee an they moved me into a private room. Luckily it was available that day. The manager advised if it had been a busy weekend, I would have to stay where I w

Birthday party for Rebecca's 5th birthday was the best the host the food everything was 100% superr excelent . Thank you .

Came here for a birthday party and it was nice. A lot of stuff for the kids to do and a waiting area for the parents. Lots of space and food options available.

We had so much fun. Thank you to the guy in Dodgeball on sun afternoon on 10/11 ..my baby is only 4 but he kept giving him the ball and letting him play with the big kids and even let my 3 yr old play ...I was impressed with how well they handle the kids - making sure they weren't rough and always cleaning and spraying the place ..also the lady who stood by the trampolines with the pink croccs shoes was always making sure to watch the kids so I felt they were super safe even if I turned my head ...the ladie

We had a birthday party for our 5 yo last night and it was awesome! Affordable, clean, and lots of fun. The party host was great too. We will definitely do it again!

My son had his birthday party there yesterday and it was an absolute blast! Ms. Jeanette was our party host and she made sure to take care of all of our needs and stayed on top of every detail. Management was very helpful and kind with the scheduling the party even with my mom fail of sending out invitations before confirming the time of the party. They helped me get everything straight and went above and beyond! This is our second year having his party here and we will for many more years to come!

We had a fantastic experience hosting our son's party here for his 4th Birthday. Our party host, Jeanette, was fantastic. She was very responsive, excellent with the children, and made our event stress-free. The facilities were clean and the kids loved both the trampoline time and the arcade games. I had multiple parents come up to me during the party and tell me how impressed they were with the venue.

Thank you Launch for such a wonderful experience for my grandsons 5 th birthday party. You guys were so friendly and accommodating, shout out to Haley who was our hostess and to all of the staff members you guys rock, and gave us such an excellent experience/service.

We went for the first time and my boys slept like little angels! We definitely will return. The staff was great. Very friendly and helpful. The facility was clean. The only downside was that the ninja course was closed. All in all we had a wonderful experience

We absolutely loved Toddler Time! For $10 mom and toddler jumped for 2 hours, made a pumpkin craft, danced to live music, and had a blast!! We will definitely be back!

I want to give thanks to an amazing staff especially Shanyce Nicholson for making my daughter happy when our time was up Shanyce went above and behond my 4 year was jumping of excitement thanking her nonstop calling her by her name . She deserves to be awarded. This happen on September 3 it was my first time coming with my daughter and my daughter didn't want to leave that's how happy and excited she was . The price is amazing is worth for the time. And I don't know who was in the kangaroo custom but I want

Super excited for this fun place for my entire family! So happy to have LAUNCH in the community. Teenagers had a blast. Adolescents didn't want to leave. Mom and Dad played Jenga (and Mom won!!!)

Great venue . Kids had a blast (so did the adults). Laser tag was extremely fun for at of us. Highly recommend

I love taking the kids here! Easiest, peaceful, one hour break FROM the kids you'll ever get, outside of them asking for stuff from the snack counter. Lol! There are a few games when you walk in, lined along the wall to the right, while a small selection, you could easily burn 30-40 minutes here as well, and the ticket payout and prizes are not so bad either. The food is mid level, but decently priced. Pizza is actually about a 4/5 starts, which was surprisingly good. There is also a laser tag arena that is

Leila really took care of us during the party

So fun!!! My boys always have a blast. Trampoline park sounds a little nerve racking for two kids under 3, BUT this park was so safe and secure. ???? We have attended 2 birthday parties here, and we will definitely be back.

Wow! This exceeded my expectations in many ways. I booked a birthday party for my kid and several of his friends. I asked about adding folks after booking online and they were very understanding and gave me a very generous deadline for adding folks if RSVPs were slow to come in. I do not want to set an unsustainable precedent for them, but even after that deadline passed they were able to make room for a few last minute additions. Our party host was kind to all the kids and ran through the schedule with me

Went for the first time yesterday for my son?s birthday, and we had a wonderful experience! Very helpful and attentive staff, clean and we can't wait to go back

The place was not clean, the staff don't bus the tables after guests leave, there was trash/hair all over the floors ?? and the prices are just not worth it for me because of the poor customer service and lack of quality. So, for now on I'll be taking my kids to Sky Zone because they understand the assignment when it comes to kids and families.

This is a GREAT option for a birthday party. They make it SO easy & are wonderful to work with. They take the stress out, thinking of everything but decorations & cake. Kahmara was our host & she made sure to take care of everything so that I could play hostess. The kids had a great time with jumping, lasertag & the pizza tasted great! The schedule & organization was impressive.

Such a fun place!! Staff is amazing; Allen was exceptional

We had my son?s 4th birthday at Launch with 10 friends. Michaela was our host and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fantastic time! I highly recommend a birthday party during the 10am-12pm toddler time. It was perfect for us!

We enjoyed our son?s 2nd bday at Launch! Very organized, very professional and we will be back!

In general, the staff was great with a few exceptions. The food was pretty good too. The facilities themselves were good. We had my son's birthday party there and it was very affordable our host was great however I would recommend those with children under 7 to consider days with fewer people. The older kids nearly trampled my son several times and it seems the staff was more worried about a 5-year-old coming out of one side than other kids running them over. I would leave the weekends for the older kids, b

Toddler time is awesome. My two year old loves it here! Great, attentive staff. Huge place, and even the food is good. ??

I loved toddler time. Went with my 10 month old pouched and my nearly 3 yo and felt totally safe. Staff were friendly and the launch pad was so fun. They played Disney music and both my girls had a ball.

We came to launch as guests for a birthday party. My son had a blast running around and playing. He is 2 so it was nice the time that was chosen was for only 5 and under! The place was clean and the party host Jeanette could not have been more kind, energetic, and incredibly helpful! We will definitely be returning!

Cannot thank London and staff enough for a fun and worry - free Saturday. Tons of kids but things moved flawlessly

I wouldn't even give them a one star to be honest, but I had to give them something in order to leave a review. We came for a field trip with 10 kids. Got here and there was no staff to check us in. I had to call their main number to have someone come out to assist us. Then then we paid for socks (required for them to play) all for them to tell us they don't know where the socks are. I asked if they can just wear their own and was told no, they have to go barefoot and was issued a refund for our socks. Get

London and Kaden were great hosts and made sure our event ran smoothly!

Overpriced for what it is. We went Sat when they opened. They had one working stall in all the women?s bathroom. It was not very clean and I had to track down someone for toilet paper. Same with the family bathroom no toilet paper and they literally just opened. It is all just overpriced. My husband helped staff get a stuck kid in the climbing equipment down as their own staff couldn't do it. Overpriced and outdated/dirty looking sums it up.

We rented out Launch for a high school graduation party in May, and it was a wonderful experience. All of the managers were so helpful in booking and planning our event. They offered great tips and recommendation on how to organize the space. Launch provided pizza, drinks, and snacks for our party to keep everyone well fed and energized for all of the various activities they provide.The facility was clean and their staff was well organized, polite, and always willing to assist in any way. Thank you Laun

We came for a birthday party and it was our first time to this facility. Our hostess Jeanette Barlow was so amazing- very very kind and helpful with our things so the kids could just go play! She made the experience so great! We will be back. Thank you!!

We had my son?s 5th birthday party there. We had a wonderful time!!! Ms.Jeanette was our host and she was the best. She did everything from decorating, greeting parents, and passing out the food so I could enjoy the party. We will definitely be back for another party and use Ms.Jeanette again!!

We came here for the Toddler Time portion. There was a good number of kids due several birthday parties, but there was plenty of room. There was enough space for our two toddlers to be amused for 2 hours. There was staff everywhere to help keep an eye on children and to help when necessary. The man at the front desk was one of the most pleasant people I've met!

I booked the A-list party on 4/1/23 and the experience for the kids did not disappoint. Our party host, Gabby did a wonderful job with assisting with the decorations of the room. She also ensured that the room was stocked with beverages and the pizzas came out hot. Everyone was friendly and assisted when needed. An area of opportunity would be to keep the party informed of how things would run as soon as they arrive in the building. This way everyone is aware of the specifics related to the party and it min

Sooooo I'm a little disappointed, I had high expectations because the reviews are so good. Our booking was set for 5:30 and we didn't get our room for our party until 6:18pm. , there was no sense of urgency at all and the women that cleaned the room had no help to get the room in order. We upgraded to the A-List Package but we didn't get anything that we upgraded to. We didn't get the cards for the games until the party was over, we didn't get the fun dip and our host was great but she was a little hands of

My daughter had her birthday party there yesterday and the experience was amazing overall! Staff was clear about what to expect and they monitored the jumpers well. I would have provided 5 stars, but I received different answers when I asked questions at booking, speaking to staff before the party and the day of. So, I wish there was more consistency when seeking information about the party. But, other than that, my guests and daughter had a great time!

Leila was the best employee she helped me when my nose was bleeding. 10/10 customer service. Will be back.

Janet was amazing at setting up our friend?s daughter?s bday party while we all got to play. She served us all our food and drinks and made the party special. Such a fun afternoon

Fun trampoline park with a lot of good options fortune ways to jump and play. It was clean and not too crowded and the staff was kind. Be aware that getting in to play laser tag, unless you are with a birthday party, can be very time consuming and frustrating. We kept getting "bumped" - first by a family that had said they had been waiting over an hour for their turn and then by parties. Weekdays would probably be a better time to visit.

We had the best time here for a birthday party! The facility was super clean and the staff all very professional. The icing on the cake was our party host Jeanette! She was so accommodating and helpful and made sure all of the kids had what they needed. 5 stars Jeanette! You rock!!

We had a wonderful experience for my son?s 7th birthday at Launch! Our hostess, Taylor, was on point: attentive, helpful, and very cool with the kiddos. She took care of everything with a wonderful approach that let us focus on playtime on the trampolines! From the moment we walked in they were ready for us: took us right to our party room, hooked everyone up with wristbands and socks, decorated with the balloons/paper products we brought, and shepherded us through our party time with no issues. Taylor was

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.”
