We were the first customers through the door upon their reopening. They cheered and clapped. It was a welcoming entrance and we as a family had fun. Can’t wait to go back.

Circus Trix is better than your average trampoline park. They have silks, trapeze, and even a warped wall.

Ive been taking my daughter here now for some time, and she absolutely loves it. They constantly wipe down and keep all area clean, staff recognise rules violations. Great place to let all her energy out. Thanks DEFY!!

Absolutely disgusting.Cleanliness clearly doesn’t look like a concern here judging by how you can see the dust and dirt in the air. All the floors are sticky and look like they haven’t been cleaned in forever. The bathrooms especially are a problem due to the intense smell of urine and the (once again) stained/ sticky floors. It seems everything I touch here has some kind of residue on it. The top floor/ overlook area is paid the least attention to. There are cleaning supplies lying around and thick coat of dust on everything. It’s a huge health hazard to sensitive groups such as those with asthma. Despite all this, the staff is nice and the facility is kid friendly. If this place was actually clean, I’d feel it deserved a better review.

Tons of trampoline fun! Gets very busy on the weekends, so buy tickets online or come early. Our family had a blast! Come during the week to enjoy with fewer people.

Love the new management here. This has always been a great location since circus trixs took it over but the management at Defy does a way better job of managing the kids and the facility. Still a pricier facility, for one hour with myself and one child it was about $40. I believe you still need to have their branded socks, we still had some from circus tricks so that was not a problem. But I would certainly go here again under the new management.

I had a lot of fun, but seeing as it says you have extreme air sports and you guys didn’t have super tramps or extreme obstacles it felt like like it was better than a place like Big Air but I feel that more could of been done to make this place EXTREME air sports. The big square trampolines with maximum bounce that some other tramp parks have.Also I feel that the little ninja pit barely has any obstacles in it and it could of been used in a better way. If it is made for parkour/gymnastics then it needs more bars, mats, places to jump to etc.The staff is great and it is a fun place to go to. It was only lacking these small things which would make it a 5 star place in my opinion.

Absolutely love this place!!! My daughter got the summer pass and used it practically everyday. It was the best investment ever. Now she does the monthly pass and it works out great. It is a very safe place for the kids and I strongly recommend it to everyone!!

I brought my wife and kids (ages 7, 5, and 3) here on a Saturday afternoon and we all had an absolute blast. The staff were all gracious while still enforcing the rules that keep everyone safe, which I appreciated with younger kids out there. We all loved the variety of obstacles and fun things to try. One of my daughters especially loved the climbing wall and I had a proud dad moment watching her conquer something that challenged her! We all came home completely worn out which is exactly what we were hoping for. Thanks to the team at Defy Gravity for the wonderful experience!

Fun place to bring kids! Rude workers really do not care about rules. Also I lost my phone there in the foam pit they would not let me go look for it because my time was up. So they put me on list and said they would call me when they found it. That never happen I lost it on Jan 20 and it it is April 9th I have a tracker on it that says it has not been moved from the time I lost it in January. They told be the clean the foam out every 2 months then when I asked again it went to 3 months.

Review №13

I thought the place was really fun and large. Plenty of activities to do around either alone or with friends. The staff are pretty cool too. 4 stars because I came with a group of friends who were 17+, and there were lots of rules we had to follow, which slightly lessened the fun, but its understandable due to safety precautions for younger kids and overall we had fun. Perfect place for little kids and gymnast to have fun or practise stunts, but if you were like us, Id say find somewhere suited for teenagers or young adults. Still a great place if you want to have fun with buds.

A great place for kids to have fun and get a great workout at the same time. We’ve been to many birthday parties here as well as coming as part of our new membership. Never a disappointment, great staff, clean and the kids always leave satisfied and anxious to go back again.

Review №15

We used the groupon and made the mistake of going in the birthday/group line (because an employee told us to do that) and they were nice and let us get our wristbands there instead of sending us to an insanely long line. It was very crowded but they got us in quickly and efficiently. Even gave us a free pair of socks to keep the line moving. Great customer service!

UPDATED REVIEW: I received a reply to my review followed by a phone conversation with the owner of Defy. We discussed my concerns, and I felt that she was very receptive of my input and committed to re-educating her staff to provide the best experience and safest environment that she could. We have received complimentary tickets to return to Defy, and will take advantage of this opportunity to make our visit a more positive one.This was my first experience with Defy, and I wasn’t very impressed. I was dropping off my grandson for a birthday party and wasn’t sure what we were supposed to do. We found the check-in desk, and were asked if this was our first time there. I said it was. We then registered my grandson, and I was asked if I had filled out a waiver. I had not since it was my first time there and didn’t know I needed to. I was then directed to the waiver computers by the entrance. I was told that my grandson would be given his socks and his wristband while I was filling out the waiver. After I came back from this lengthy process, my grandson had disappeared. I asked the person at the check-in where he went. She said he went up with his group. That made me feel a little bit better. I was then told I could get a wristband and go find him. I walked up where the activities were, but after having walked around three times, I found neither him nor any attendant whom I could ask for information. I went back to the check-in desk and asked if you might be in the party room. I was told they were not, and I was also told that there were attendants up by the activities. I turned around and saw one person standing by the stairs I had just come down. He hadn’t been there when I was looking around for my grandson. I then went outside and called my daughter to let her know what was going on and find out where I might or how I might locate my grandson. She then had to call the mother of the birthday boy to locate her son. Later, when I spoke with my grandson, I found that he had not gone up with “the group“, but had found one other child attending the party and had gone up there alone looking for his friend and the group. I wasn’t impressed with this check-in process nor with the security or watchfulness of those supposedly stationed around at the activities. I saw children, young children because was an early afternoon activity on a school day, trying out different equipment and activities alone. We have been to similar facilities and held several birthday parties for our older grandson, and there had always been an introductory time with a reading of the rules and visible and plentiful in attendance. I didn’t feel safe here and I didn’t feel comfortable with the safety for my grandson or with the lack of information or concern from the check-in person who seemed unaware or unconcerned that my young grandson had been sent off by himself before I came back from filling out the waiver.When I picked him up, he was very excited and had had a wonderful time and was safe and unharmed. For all that I was happy. For the lack of organization and the apparent lack of supervision, I was not happy.

Review №21

This was one of the worst experiences and examples of customer service and disorganization that I have ever witnessed. There is no system and very many long lines with an understaffed confused group of “team members”. After purchasing tickets online for an allotted time, we were forced to wait in another long line to acquire a wrist band. After getting to the front, it was announced that they were not letting in anymore people because it was now deemed unsafe and that I had to come back in an hour. We did! We got our wrist bands (after someone announced that online tickets should wait in a separate line) and then my kids had to wait in another long line simply to get into the trampoline area. We paid almost $40 for my two kids to jump for an hour, but now had only 30 min because we had to be somewhere else. While in line the manager told them they didn’t have the right gripper socks on so again, had to get out of line and wait in another line to purchase “their” socks and then get back in line to get into the trampoline area once again. I complained to the manager, who was obviously very young and inexperienced....she simply told me not to come back if I was so dissatisfied with their service.We used to come into Circus Trix all the time....Defy has lost our business because of the insensitive, incompetent staff and disorganized system.

Being the mom of 4 teenagers, I am still always looking for fun, physical activities to occupy my kids while having fun. Circus Trix checks all the boxes! My boys love to play dodgeball and race each other on the obstacle rock walls, while my girls love the aerial silks and tumbling runways.I love that I know they are doing something fun and healthy in a safe clean environment ...TOGETHER.I am comfortable and enjoy the music plus the piece of mind that I can view the entire facility from up in the loft.

Review №23

My son and his friend got there about 15 mins past the time their tickets were for, and my son’s waiver had expired. I had dropped them off. But, the employee had him call me, I filled out the waiver online, and they let them play 45 mins past the original ending time of the tickets. I was happy they got extra time!

Review №25

Arrived to pick up child from BD party and was forced to “register “ including birthday, address, em, phone, just for the right to sign my life away in a release, then stand in line for a bracelet. Only then was I permitted to look for my child. Took 16 minutes to get this done and we were late for our next activity. Staff did not care and were not accommodating in any way. Like robots. Update: venue was very apologetic. Said they would have paged my child. Sent free passes to try them again.

Fyi to Parents of young children, designated jump times for under 6 Are not in effect on holidays and school vacation, its not posted anywhere on their website. Its dangerous when adults and older kids are mixed in with under 6.I understand this is a business and money needs to be made. I hope defy can post this clearly on your website so we know or keep designated times for small children.

Sundays are under stuffed. Every Sunday, with birthday parties snd great amount of people, the lines are long, employees at the counter are stressed, that makes them be even rude; the control on the ground id minimal, kids are running every where, double or triple jumping in trampolines happens often. Its one of the busiest days and there is need for more stuff.

Review №32

My kids have been bugging me to go. Unfortunately we had to go on a holiday. It is run by a bunch if teenage kids, too crowded, big kids running over littler ones. Knowing it was a holiday they should have had more staff on the floor enforcing the rules and keeping kids safe. Parents with their faces glued to their cell phones not watching their kids. A serious injury waiting to happen!

Review №33

Trampoline heaven everywhere, supervised dodgeball arena, jumping pits, zip line into foam cubes, basketball with a ramp to slam dunk, climbing mazes, bouldering wall above foam cubes, swings into foam cube pits.Restricted number of jumpers so it doesnt get overcrowded, special Defy socks required, adult can accompany child free, can pay for 1/1.5/ or 2 hr times for, online purchases are given priority, lockers to leave food and beverages (not allowed in trampoline area), birthday party table and parent lounge upstairs.The vibe is positive and high energy with kids of all ages having great physical fun: enjoy!

Review №44

My 8yo son and I went there yesterday and Overall he had a great time. But me not so much. I brought my computer and hopes to get some work done without the super loud music. I knew from reviews that there was an upstairs area with table away from the chaos for parents. I was happy and started to work, then abruptly at 5.45 they say the upstairs is closing for the night and that all parents had to sit downstairs in couches in the middle of the chaos and loud music — not conducive to working on my laptop.The place doesn’t close until 9pm — why on earth do they have to close the parents area at 6?!! A few of us argued and all of us were upset but they could care less.Very poor customer service. The cleaning they claimed they had to do there took less than 30 min and then the area sat dark and lonely for 2.5 hours more, as all of us parents had to stand around in the loud, chaotic kids area. We were all miserable and bored.And Why? Because they clearly don’t care. And that was the impression I got from management as well. I unfortunately got duped into the Flyer Club monthly fee so I may go back, and my son had fun, but the way they treat parents is not cool. I’ll be actively avoiding this place as much as possible.

Review №49

My kids and I love CircusTrix and it’s unique trampoline and play areas, however, today it seemed a bit overcrowded with at least more than one large group or summer camp. I also told the desk team about a messy spill in the locker area when we checked in, and an hour and a half later, it was still there (melted ice cream on the floor). I’m not sure if they limit how many people are on the floor at once but it was pretty crowded today.

Review №52

The space is good and the kids really enjoyed it. It has a great variety or jumps and course. However I was annoyed by the check in process, I purchased tickets ahead of time but still had to go on line after getting my print out only to be told I had to go back and fill in another waiver! Why the computer didn’t flag this I don’t know ?!? Then back to check in desks and once we all checked in we went to get into our socks to head to the play area only to be told we couldn’t wear our perfectly good trampoline grip socks and had to purchase new circus trix one’s....why they could tell me this not once but twice at the check in desk ?! If it’s mandatory why not work this into the pricing price ? Very confusing

Review №58

It can be a fun place for 8 yr and older. I didnt feel comfortable with my 4yr old, i had to chase him down to everywhere so hes safe. Children were jumping up and down all over the place. And my little one actually got hurt by a 10 yr old because he didnt pay attention and he came out of nowhere and jumped on my sons trampoline. Ive been to many other places this kind and they used to have sections for proper ages. Here is a kind of mess.

Review №64

Great place for kids to jump around and have fun! They have someone supervising the kids, a lot of different areas to choose to jump/climb on.Staff seemed as if you knew the place, would’ve been nice if they were more helpful with the information from the beginning instead of asking a million questions, but what can you expect they are teenagers running the place.Other than that there weren’t too many kids in the area at a time so plenty of space! The staff just need some improvement on the friendliness and helpfulness area; it honestly probably would’ve been better to go to the self-service kiosk in the first place...Overall: I would recommend this place for kids, just don’t expect too much from the staff working there (you aren’t even greeted to begin with)...

Review №88

Arrived with plenty of time to get settled and jump. Upon giving our names to verify the waivers they were not found in the system even though we did them two nights before. All our guests had the same problem. That process took 20 minutes which cut into our jump time. Once all kids/jumpers were in I was given my wristband to get in. I was detained at the entrance because I was told I didn’t have the proper color wristband. I had a two year old in my arms who was antsy and wanted to jump. The employee didn’t know how to handle the situation so he stood there. That took three minutes to get resolved and finally I was just let in. If it weren’t for the fun jumping and different activities I would have rated this a one star.

My daughter loves this place. They have lots of different activities to keep you busy. We usually do 1 hour and have a blast. Price is fair.I would give 5 stars if the staff did a better job monitoring rude kids. Each time we encounter multiple kids that jump dangerously on the trampoline my daughter is using. I realize kids are kids, but the staff should do a better job of enforcing the rules.
