I Finally Went to Sky Zone

Tulsa has plenty of places for kids to bounce around – and somehow, I haven’t really been to any of them (until now)! There’s BounceU, Urban Air, Bounce Owasso, Airtopia Adventure Park, Incredible Pizza….and no doubt others. And of course, Sky Zone. (I should note that Sky Zone and Urban Air are both finalists in our reader-voted 2024 Family Favorites contest, for “Favorite Place to Play Indoors.”

Joss went to Sky Zone as a camp field trip, and couldn’t wait to go back. In particular, he wanted to do the zip line again. And he was thrilled to do the zip line at Camp Loughridge a couple weeks later, too. In fact, when asked about his favorite summer activities, his response was: “zip lines.”

Anyway, when looking for a place to meet up with friends recently, we ended up at Sky Zone.

Playing at Sky Zone

A leader at the camp that initially took Joss to Sky Zone said they like Sky Zone over Urban Air for field trips because it’s easier to keep track of the kids. And the layout did seem conducive to that. There’s a large section of tables in the center of the space, then fenced-off play areas beyond that. At one point, we went looking for Joss but were able to find him quickly. It was overall a smaller play space than I’d been expecting, but there were so many activities, we could have easily spent more than our allotted hour and a half there.

Amenities include:

  • The aforementioned zipline
  • Trampoline area
  • Aerial silks
  • Obstacle courses
  • Climbing wall
  • Tug of war and battle balance beam
  • Concessions (Joss insisted upon a Blue Raspberry Icee)
  • Arcade
  • and more

I love that all the activities keep kids active, whether that’s jumping, climbing, balancing, etc. It’s definitely a great way to get energy out!

Special Events

Sky Zone also has special events throughout the month. These include GLOW (“Lasers, music and blacklight transform the whole park into a crazy jumping dance club.”). Little Leapers (play time for younger kids). Sensory Hours and more. Find a list of their different programs at skyzone.com/tulsa/programs and view their upcoming event schedule at skyzone.com/tulsa/events-calendar

And of course, they offer private parties as well: skyzone.com/tulsa/parties

Tickets and Sky Socks

Sky Zone isn’t cheap – in my opinion – so we likely won’t be regular visitors. But since Joss had such a good time, and it is such a great place to be active, we’ll definitely be back.

Before purchasing your tickets, you have to sign a waiver. Then, tickets can be purchased in 60, 90 or 120-minute increments. A 60-minute ticket costs $15.99. The 90-minute ticket (which we got) is $18.99, and 120-minutes is $21.99. There’s also an All-You-Can-Jump day pass for $30.99, as well as discounted times throughout the week. I didn’t purchase a ticket, as I wasn’t planning on jumping, so it was just the one ticket for us.

Once you’ve purchased your ticket, they’ll hand your kid a brightly-colored wristband. Periodically, they’ll call out of the intercom, “If you have a [certain color of] wristband, your jump time is over.” So that’s how they keep track of who’s purchased which ticket, and when.

Sky Zone recommends booking tickets in advance on weekends, as it can get busy. Learn more at skyzone.com/tulsa/tickets

Sky Socks

You’ll also need to purchase “Sky Socks” for $3, if you don’t already have them. These have rubber soles to help with grip while being easier on the facility.

Memberships

Monthly memberships are also available, although some reviewers on Google mentioned it can be hard to cancel them. However, from what I understand, you essentially pay the amount of one ticket to get a certain amount of jump time per day all month long, plus other discounts. So that does sound like a pretty good deal, if I understand correctly – and if you’re able to cancel when you want. Details at skyzone.com/tulsa/memberships
