Sky Zone Trampoline Park - Paradise Valley

Sky Zone Trampoline Park located at 4857 E Greenway Rd, Suite A, Paradise Valley, AZ 85254 is a great activity for toddlers! They are open 9am to 8pm Monday through Thursday, 9am to 10pm Friday and Saturday, and 10am to 8pm on Sunday.

They require Sky Zone branded grippy socks, sold at the front desk for $5/pair. Their current pricing is 90 minutes for $22, 120 minutes for $25, and all day passes for $35. The best deal for toddlers to participate is during their "Little Leapers" windows on Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturdays from 9am to 11am. Little Leapers costs $12, and is only available for those 6 and under, meaning the little ones can fully enjoy the facilities without being bowled over by a bigger kid.

There are tons of different sections, including foam pits, a free jump area, a jousting section, parkour type ramps, obstacle courses, a rock wall and more. The staff was vigilant to ensure all attendees were playing safely, which was no small feat with all of the toddlers running around, in addition to several birthday parties.

We will definitely be back for a future "Little Leaper" day, since it was a great way for my son to get his wiggles out and meet other little kids.

Sky Zone has several locations throughout the valley, including Peoria, Camelback East and Alhambra if the Paradise Valley location isn't convenient for you.

KTR Scottsdale

If you have a toddler, you know that it can be hard to find activities that they can enjoy while still keeping them safe and having fun. That’s why you should consider bringing them to KTR Scottsdale—a state-of-the-art indoor trampoline park that’s sure to provide hours of fun and entertainment for the whole family.

KTR Scottsdale is located at 9009 E. Talking Stick Way Scottsdale, AZ 85250, and is open Monday - Friday from 12pm to 8pm, Saturday from 10am to 9pm and Sunday from 10am to 6pm. Tickets are currently priced at $22 for two hours of jump time, and $27 for four hours of jump time. Toddlers aged 5 and under are $12 for one hour.

They have a skate park area, parkour, and lots of other fun activities for the older kids, but I will concentrate on the toddler accessible areas for this review. We attended during their not highly advertised Toddler Time, taking place Tuesday through Thursday from 9am until noon. It was $12 for the three hour block, and only the 5 and under kids were allowed to play. It was AMAZING - they had the run of the entire place, which would obviously typically be overrun by much older children.

Staff was very alert, ensuring all of the kiddos were playing safely to allow everyone to have an enjoyable experience. There were all sorts of different sections to try with varying themes - dodgeball, free jumping, parkour, etc. Grippy socks were not required, but my son wore them for safety reasons.

If you’re looking for the best day to visit KTR Scottsdale, we recommend going on a weekday (and mornings Tuesday through Thursday if you have kids 5 and under). Weekends tend to be busier and more crowded, so you’ll have a better chance of getting a good spot if you go on a weekday. This means your toddler will have more space to explore and enjoy the park. KTR Scottsdale is the perfect place to take your toddler for hours of safe, fun bouncing. So if you’re looking for something new and exciting to do with your little one, be sure to check out KTR Scottsdale! They also have locations in Mesa, Glendale and Chandler if one of those locations is closer to you.

Touch-A-Truck in Glendale

 Are you looking for a fun, free activity for your family? If so, the Glendale Parks and Recreation “Touch a Truck” event is a great option. Last November, the Parks and Recreation Department hosted its annual Touch a Truck event for kids. Parking was a breeze, there were plenty of vehicles to see, and lines for the more "exciting" trucks (such as a helicopter and a trash truck) moved reasonably quickly.

The event was held in a large parking lot and featured a variety of vehicles such as fire trucks, police cars, military vehicles, construction equipment, and more. Kids had the chance to get up close and personal with these vehicles, ask questions of the operators, and take photos. They can honk horns, turn on sirens, and check out all of their favorite vehicles - such an awesome opportunity. One of the best parts of the event was that it was completely free for families. There were also plenty of activities for kids to enjoy, such as face painting, photo ops with Smokey the Bear, and a DJ playing kid friendly music. Local businesses also had booths set up, offering snacks and other goodies. Overall, the event was a huge success. Kids had a great time learning about the different vehicles and interacting with their operators. It was also a great opportunity for families to spend time together without spending money. It was a great reminder that there are plenty of free activities available in Glendale, especially during the holidays. If you’re looking for a fun and free activity for your family, be sure to check out the Glendale Parks and Recreation “Touch a Truck” event. It’s a great way for kids to learn about different vehicles and have a great time in the process. We will definitely attend if Glendale hosts this event again next year.
