About Bounce Party Entertainment Center
NO LONGER FRANCHISING
An Incredible, Inflatable Experience, Bounce Party is a fun, safe, supervised indoor arena featuring eight great interactive inflatable structures that create a party experience you and your guests will never forget.
Bounce Party is an ideal venue for any event where the goal is simply to have fun in a memorable PRIVATE party setting.
The idea for the development of Bounce Party Entertainment Center became conceptualized in early 2003 by Bob and Karen Pero. Our desire was to create a party environment that removed any work or worry for the guests. We desired to create a facility where parents could play with their children in a fun and active way. We also desired to create a facility where teens and adults could be comfortable in a private environment being a "kid" again. We knew we did not want to have any video type equipment - just good old-fashioned play!
