DEFY Iowa City

If you’ve got kids who need to burn off some serious energy, this is the place locals keep coming back to. It’s a full-on trampoline park with a zipline and basketball courts thrown in, so there’s genuinely something to do no matter who you drag along. The staff here actually seem to enjoy their jobs, which makes a difference when you’re wrangling a birthday party group. Good for little ones and adults alike — don’t be surprised if you’re the one who ends up sore the next day.
