Aerozone

Ringoes, NJ

If your child has “tops made out of rubber and bottoms made out of springs” like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, then Aerozone’s open bounce is a must-go. Jump, climb or slide, it’s a great way to get out of the house and exert that pent up energy on rainy or cold days. At night, kids can take part in Glow’n Bounce where neon or white clothes are recommended to get the full effect. From December 26th until December 28th, Aerozone is offering a $24 special for bounce, laser tag and video games. Call for more details.
