Trampoline Parks are multiplying worldwide as families, friends, and companies seek exciting group activities. Research confirms soaring demand for this experience, making trampoline parks the fastest-growing segment in the booming ‘get-out-and-play’ entertainment industry. With massive market potential and relatively fast ROI, this business offers a compelling opportunity—if you position yourself strategically from the start.
01.
Is Trampoline park the right business for you?
Better yet—are you cut out for this business? Running an entertainment hub for kids, teens, active families, and corporate groups sounds like a dream: a venture overflowing with laughter, joy, and what feels like the world’s best job.
But beyond the fun lies reality. Before diving in, ask yourself honestly: Am I the right person for this? This isn’t just about financial readiness. It’s about whether your skills, drive, and temperament align with the demands of launching and running a trampoline park:
Genuinely understands sports and active lifestyles
Prioritizes safety and insurance daily – with unwavering focus from day one
Proactively manages maintenance (including spare parts readiness)
Thrives on crowd energy while delivering nonstop excitement during all operating hours.
Trampoline parks often succeed as family-run ventures. When your business engages the whole family and you deeply understand the entertainment industry’s unique demands – that’s the formula for sustainable growth.”
If you see yourself in all aspects of that business, let’s take a look, step by step, at what you need to know and what you need to do to successfully start your trampoline park business and skyrocket it.
02.
Start with market research
Thorough market research is non-negotiable for any new venture – especially trampoline parks. Before investing, you must:
Identify competitors
Define your target customers
Gauge market size in your area
This starts with fundamental due diligence: analyzing your audience, crunching ROI projections, and modeling profit potential.
Quality research reveals whether your location and timing are right for launch. For trampoline parks specifically, this groundwork significantly reduces risk while accelerating ROI and profitability.
Most critically: Pinpoint who needs your park. Understand their demographics, behaviors, and unmet needs – then build your business to fulfill them.
Who is your ideal target?
Start by analyzing your local demographics: Who exactly will use your park, and how large is your potential market? While trampoline parks primarily attract 5-30 year-olds (kids, teens, and young adults), consider all segments—fitness enthusiasts, athletes, and even active older adults.
You’ll typically serve three user types:
Casual visitors: One-off trips for birthdays, family outings, or corporate events
Regulars: Frequent users treating jumping as core fitness
Performance athletes (in larger markets): Competitive jumpers needing training facilities
See how diverse—and promising—this audience is? Now let’s plan your next steps.
Who is your Trampoline park competition?
View competitors as catalysts, not threats. Studying them closely reveals their strengths and weaknesses, allowing you to:
Refine your strategy with precision
Shorten your learning curve
Avoid costly missteps
This intelligence lets you dominate the market faster while exceeding customer expectations.
Ultimately, competition fuels innovation – forcing you to differentiate. And that distinctive edge? It’s the first hallmark of sustainable success.
03.
Write down a business plan for your Trampoline park
Let’s cut to the chase: A business plan isn’t optional paperwork – it’s your operational blueprint. This document forces you to confront make-or-break questions, exposing blind spots while mapping your path to profitability.
Your plan must answer these critical questions:
Startup costs: What’s my total initial investment?
Equipment & operational expenses: What are the upfront and recurring costs?
Profitability timeline: When will I break even?
Master these fundamentals, and you’ll transform guesswork into strategy.
04.
Design your Trampoline park
The Design Phase: Where Vision Meets Layout
This is where your concept takes shape—literally. Since most parks are custom-built to fit your space, design isn’t just aesthetics; it’s strategic optimization.
1. Space Planning Essentials
No Fixed Size: Scale your park to match projected capacity.
Industry Benchmarks: Europe: 1,000–2,500 m² (10,700–26,900 sq ft) & USA: Avg. ~2,400 m² (25,800 sq ft)
Minimum Viable Footprint: 1,500 m² (16,100 sq ft) floor area & 7 m (23 ft) clear height (measured from safety barriers). Smaller spaces? Compensate with hyper-creative layouts.
The 80/20 Revenue Rule: Dedicate ≥80% of space to jump zones (your profit engine). & Reserve ≤20% For Reception • Café • Changing rooms • Restrooms (All physically separated from activity areas)
2. Partnering with Trampoline Park Manufacturers
Modern parks are engineered ecosystems—far beyond trampolines.
Expect: Climbing walls • Ninja courses • Zip lines • Interactive digital features
Your Role: Drive creative vision.
Their Role: Deliver technical execution.
Selecting Your Partner: Prioritize full-service providers offering:
✓ Location feasibility analysis
✓ Custom design consultation
✓ Structural engineering
✓ Turnkey installation
✓ Safety certification support
Critical non-negotiables: Licensed builders with proven durability, safety compliance, and value-added collaboration.
05.
Choose the best location
Securing the right location is make-or-break for your trampoline park’s success. A weak site cripples competitiveness and slashes foot traffic. When scouting locations, you must weigh critical factors like:
Population Density
Target areas with: 250,000+ residents within a 10-minute drive & 500,000+ residents within a 30-minute catchment area
Accessibility
Prioritize sites with(bus/rail within 0.5-mile walk): Major road connections & Direct public transport access
Complementary Infrastructure
Seek proximity to(These drive consistent foot traffic): Restaurants & retail centers & Schools & public institutions & Entertainment hubs
Parking Capacity
Ensure adequate dedicated parking: Minimum 1 space per 200 sq ft of facility & Accommodates peak-hour volume + staff vehicles
Zoning & Permits
Verify: Zoning allows “amusement/recreation facilities” & Pre-approved structural load capacity & Special permits for assembly occupancies secured pre-lease
While purpose-built facilities are ideal, consider the potential of adaptive reuse. Converted warehouses or industrial spaces offer compelling advantages for trampoline parks—many thriving operators leverage these high-ceiling, open-plan environments.
Key tradeoff: Prime locations near shopping corridors command premium pricing. Industrial zones typically offer significant cost savings, though you’ll sacrifice walk-in traffic and retail adjacency.
06.
Promote and market your Trampoline park
Now we enter the growth engine: Marketing your trampoline park through targeted programming. While inherently broad in appeal, success demands segmenting audiences by age and interest—then crafting specialized events to match. Proven Engagement Models:
Adult Fitness: Morning HIIT classes & trampoline yoga
Athlete Development: Skill clinics and competitive leagues
Tiny Jumpers: Toddler sensory play sessions
Celebrations: Premium birthday/anniversary packages
Corporate: Team-building obstacle challenges
Family: Themed glow jumps and multi-generational events
Schools: Curriculum-linked physics days and PE alternatives
This diversified approach lets you micro-target demographics while maximizing facility utilization across all operating hours.
1. Master Your Marketing Mix
While trampoline parks naturally create repeat customers through unforgettable experiences, strategic channels amplify acquisition and retention. Your goal: become unavoidable to target audiences.
Core Retention Drivers:
Tiered membership/loyalty programs
Bundled event packages (birthdays/corporate)
First-time visitor incentives
Fitness class subscriptions
Competitive league structures
Strategic affiliate partnerships
Hyperlocal Acquisition Tactics:
Neighborhood signage + targeted flyer drops
Community brochure distribution
Scannable discount coupons (digital + physical)
“Bring-a-friend” referral bonuses
This dual approach converts first-timers while building your regular jump community.
2. Dominate Your Digital Presence
Your online footprint isn’t optional—it’s your 24/7 storefront. Leverage these core channels to convert browsers into jumpers:
Conversion-Optimized Website
Seamless mobile-responsive design
Integrated booking/ticketing system
Client portals for membership management
Loyalty program visibility (highlight family/group rewards)
Why it works: 87% of leisure seekers research online first. Your site must convert interest into bookings in <30 seconds

|| Higher cost | 5x higher engagement ||
|| Pro tip: Blend local fitness trainers (micro) with regional parenting bloggers (macro) for full demographic coverage ||

Take care of the legal aspects
Running a trampoline park involves significant legal considerations specific to your location. Before launching your business, you must comply with local regulations to:
Formally establish your business: Register your company, open a business bank account, set up tax registration, secure required insurance, and trademark your brand name.
Secure all permits and licenses: Operating a trampoline park typically requires specific permits and certifications. Identify and obtain all necessary operational licenses well before opening your doors.
Handle food service properly (if applicable): Selling food necessitates permits, licenses, and compliance with health department regulations, including passing inspections.
License any background music: Playing music in your facility requires permission, usually obtained through a general license covering a wide catalog of artists and recordings.
Mitigate liability risks: This is critical. Patrons engage in high-risk physical activities. You MUST:
1. Use equipment meeting current industry standards (like ASTM/IAAPA).
2. Implement clear liability waivers and disclaimers.
3. Obtain specific permits related to operation and safety.
4. Prioritize staff safety: Comply fully with occupational health and safety laws. Equip staff with necessary safety gear and provide comprehensive training before they start work.
Why this matters upfront: Fulfilling every legal requirement is non-negotiable before you open. It protects your business from penalties, lawsuits, and operational shutdowns. Regulations vary significantly by city, county, and state, so proactively research the specific mandates for your exact location – your local municipal office is the best starting point.

Focus on the Experience: Remember, the opening is just the kickoff. The real work – running your business – begins immediately afterward.
Make it Take Flight: Now’s when your business truly takes flight. Deliver exceptional service and an unforgettable experience to every customer.
