Pump It Up Frequently Asked Questions
COVID-19 Procedures
How do 100% private parties make it safer to celebrate?
As always, our 100% private parties provide you the opportunity to be in control of who attends your event and allows us to clean and sanitize the party space between each event. In addition, we have implemented the use of a sanitizing fogging device on inflatables and surfaces. This method offers far better coverage, shorter drying times, and an overall better kill rate for viruses and bacteria within the facility to keep our guests and employees safe.
General
Are socks required?

Each inflatable goes through rigorous testing for all ages before it is released to any of our facilities nationwide.

Entrances and tunnels are wiped down and every inflatable is cleaned and inspected on an ongoing maintenance schedule.
