I went to a birthday party at pump it up last month for one of my daughter's friends. It was a very nice place, they have 2 seperate rooms they take the kids into and the parents can hang out in there with them and socialize while the kids play in all the different blow up activities. I think it is also cool that you can have 20 kids attend the party for 1 cost, that way you don't have to worry about leaving anyone out. I was very close to having my daughter's party there, but decided to do the princess party instead since a lot of her friends were already having their parties at pump it up and I wanted to be different
