Halloween is definitely one of the most exciting times of the year, filled with spooky costumes, scary decorations, and plenty of sweet treats. But if you’re looking for a different way of celebrating this spooky season, why not visit a trampoline park? With high-energy bouncing, Halloween-themed games, and a ghoulishly fun atmosphere, it’s the perfect way for kids (and adults) to enjoy the season.
We at High Altitude love Halloween and celebrate it every year – whether that’s with themed parties or a whole week of spooky celebrations – we’ve always got something up our witches’ sleeves! Give this blog a quick read and discover what makes celebrating Halloween at a trampoline park such an awesome idea.
Why Celebrate Halloween at a Trampoline Park?
If you’ve visited a trampoline park, then you know these places are already packed with fun, but when Halloween rolls around, they become even more thrilling. Many trampoline parks, like High Altitude, go all out with special Halloween celebrations.
In the past, we have:
- Hosted freakishly fun Halloween-themed trampoline park parties with music, games, sweets, and a whole lot of bouncing
- Celebrated Halloween throughout the whole week of half term, so when the kids are off school, we’re open all day, every day
- Gone all out with fancy dress, getting everyone involved – from kids to parents, and even the High Altitude staff
- Completely decked out the park with whacky, scary, and freaky Halloween decorations, turning the park into a haunted playground
So, instead of just trick-or-treating or attending the usual Halloween party, come and see us at High Altitude instead! Here, jumpers can bounce, play games, take part in spooky activities, and fill their bellies with great food as well as sweets and chocolates. At Halloween time, we usually offer a week-long event during the October half term, giving families plenty of time to join in on the fun, fitting around trick-or-treating or other plans.
Halloween Vibes at a Trampoline Park
The best Halloween events are all about atmosphere, and trampoline parks don’t disappoint. Expect eerie decorations like cobwebs, glowing pumpkins, and spooky lights transforming the space into a haunted jump zone. It’s not just the park that gets a Halloween makeover – the staff do too! Many trampoline parks encourage their employees to dress up in fun and creepy costumes, adding to the excitement. And the best part? Jumpers can dress up too! Whether it’s a skeleton, a witch, or a spooky pumpkin, kids can show off their costumes while bouncing around.
Spooky Costume Ideas Perfect for Trampolining
Dressing up is a huge part of Halloween, but if you’re heading to a trampoline park, you’ll want a costume that’s fun yet safe and comfortable for bouncing. Here are four great costume ideas that work perfectly for trampoline fun:
1. Pumpkin Jumper
A funny and silly outfit that still delivers a little fright and definitely stands out! Not only that, but this is a simple and comfortable outfit that is easy to move around in, which makes it ideal for bouncing. This could be a proper outfit or a simple T-shirt style.
2. Wicked Witch
A classic Halloween outfit that is also perfect for trampolining. A great choice for your little girl to scare and impress in a mysterious and spooky fancy dress. Even though you don’t have your broomstick, you’ll be flying through the air for sure. Go all out with this outfit or opt for a more simple style that is even comfier for bouncing.
3. Skeleton Bouncer
A skeleton jumpsuit is a great choice for trampolining adventures – it’s breathable and looks great under UV lights, making it a practical choice that is also incredibly spooky. There are so many different variations of this outfit idea to choose from to still make it a unique choice.
4. Creepy Crawly
Attend the trampoline park dressed as a creepy crawly, like a spider. This is a good choice for the trampoline park as you can act like a real insect – crawling and jumping from one trampoline to the next. You could make your insect costume yourself to save on costs or purchase one online.
Halloween-themed Games on the Trampolines
What’s Halloween without some games? Trampoline parks often introduce special themed activities for the season to celebrate with some active fun that everyone can join in with. So here are three fun ideas for Halloween games kids can play while bouncing:
Inflatables Zombie Chase
Everyone in your game takes it in turn to be the ‘zombie’ and must chase and tag the other players as they bounce, run and slide away in the inflatable area. Once tagged, that person also becomes a zombie until the whole group has been tagged!
Copy (Black) Cat Jumpers
The first person performs a special jump or trick and the others in the group must take it in turn to copy the special move. If you can’t copy it, you’re out. If you play this game, remember to only perform jumps you’re comfortable and confident with.
High Flyer Contest
Like a witch on her broomstick or a squeaking bat, fly through the air with this competition. Using the airbag jump, take it in turns to see who can leap and fly the highest. Whoever gets the highest wins. To keep things fair, your court monitor can be the judge.
One Last Thing
Halloween is such an enjoyable time of the year, and we hope you all have an incredible time whatever you have planned. But it’s also good to not go overboard. Hey, we love sweets and treats as much as the next person, but there is such a thing as too many sweets and not enough activity.
Celebrating Halloween at a trampoline park isn’t just about enjoying the holiday in a unique way, but it’s also a good excuse to get kids moving and keep active during the time off school. Break up the trick-or-treating and sweet-munching with some healthy exercise on our trampolines.
