Urban Air

Jump for joy at Urban Air, Bloomington’s trampoline park.  A popular hot spot for kids, Urban Air provides an experience you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere else in the Bloomington area.  Work on your frontflips and backflips in the trampoline room.  Bounce off walls and floors of trampolines and become an acrobat.  Launch off a trampoline and dunk on a regulation basketball hoop, just like the pros.  If you’d rather throw balls instead of dunk them, Urban Air’s dodgeball games are like nothing you’ve ever played before.  Combining the intensity of dodgeball with the excitement of trampolines, it’s an entirely new way to play the game.  You can also master your diving form while you jump into their massive foam pit as many times as you wish. 3603 West State Road 46, Bloomington, IN 47404
