If your kids treat your couch like a jungle gym every time they’re stuck indoors, it’s time to redirect that energy somewhere way more fun. Head to a trampoline park in NYC (or a little further afield) to find the high-flying, bounce-filled adventure that’ll have your little ones flipping—literally.

Trampolining isn’t just one of the best indoor activities for kids; it’s the perfect combo of active and entertaining. These spots are on par with indoor amusement parks: they go beyond the basics with features like foam pits, bouncy basketball courts, ropes courses and even ninja-style obstacle setups. Whether your kids are trampoline purists or crave all the extra bells and whistles, they’ll be soaring (and laughing) for hours.

So next time outdoor plans like hikingbiking or hitting up a playground aren’t on the table, these bounce-tastic trampoline parks are a guaranteed hit.

This facility opened in the former Old Dutch Mustard factory by the choreographer Elizabeth Streb is part art project, part community space, part extreme gym, and totally Brooklyn. STREB combines aerobics, gymnastics and circus stunts. When youngsters aren't soaring on the trapeze or bouncing on trampolines, they have the option to register for summer camps, enjoy birthday parties and watch some of the performers show their stuff.

Have you heard what the buzz is all about? Billy Beez—which has locations across the U.S.—offers children the chance to go down slides, play in a ball arena, jump on trampolines (at select venues), try their hand at different sports and refuel on treats when all is said and done. This is an ideal spot for youngsters who have a lot of energy to unleash but aren't quite ready for high-stakes action.

If the littles have ants in their pants, Bounce 'N Play is a great way for them to channel all of that pent-up energy. The inflatable jungle gyms, bounce houses, ball pits and rock climbing walls will keep them active for quite some time. But when they can't bounce as high or slide as quickly, let them recoup with a few arcade games such as Pac Man or foosball. Although it's a great place to spend an afternoon thanks to open play options, Bounc 'N Play makes for an epic birthday party destination, so start planning!

This scaled-up arcade has a bounce zone, Mission Impossible laser maze, 3D simulator and a laser tag arena with plenty of twists and turns to keep the competition on edge. The selection in the arcade includes all the latest games, and all the classics. There's plenty in here that will work up an appeitite—good thing Laser Bounce is in a mall with a food court.

Adrenaline junkies will get their thrills with extreme dodge pall, diving into a foam pit with buddies, learning new moves during performance trampoline classes and playing basketball...but not on a flat surface, on a trampoline, of course. Options vary and all ages are accompanied. If you have a tiny tot, check out Toddler Time (ages 2–6) or bring your kids and teens to the Friday Night Frenzy (ages 7 and up) where they can jump for three hours...if they have the energy.

Chelsea Piers Connecticut is a mega-complex that includes a vast Jump, Climb & Ninja Zone where you can have high-speed dodgeball games, try your hand at rock climbing, swing into cargo nets and hold ninja agility contests—or simply bounce your heart out. The original Chelsea Piers in Manhattan has a tumble gym with trampolines and other bouncy features kids love, but the scale of the Connecticut operation makes it worth the trek.
