Bounce Safari

If you’ve got kids between 3 and 10 and a birthday coming up, this Waldwick spot is genuinely one of the easier calls you’ll make. The bounce houses and slides keep the energy high, and the climbing structure gives kids something to work toward beyond just jumping. Parents actually get to sit — there are benches and shaded seating inside the enclosed play area, which means you’re not chasing anyone across a parking lot. The staff is legitimately friendly, not just going-through-the-motions friendly, and the place is kept clean in a way that you’ll actually notice. For the price, especially when you factor in what the party packages cover, it’s hard to find a better deal in the area.
