Honest Review of Flying Squirrel Trampoline Park

Flying Squirrel Trampoline Park features many trampolines for kids of all ages and adults. There are aerial silks, battle beams, foam pits, and more. It’s one of the best indoor playgrounds in Calgary, with two locations.

While most of the indoor playgrounds in Calgary I wrote about are for kids, Flying Squirrel is also for adults. With more than 40 trampolines, there’s a place for everyone.

What I liked about the trampoline park is that the staff is constantly walking around and checking if there’s any unsafe behaviour. We visited several times, both during the week and on weekends, with several birthday parties happening, and I felt confident letting my almost 3-year-old son jump around, knowing he was safe (but of course was never far behind him).

The playground’s geared towards kids of all ages with the expectation that your child can jump. Otherwise, there’s not much to do for little crawlers. They would have more fun at Kidz Go indoor playground, Treehouse indoor playground, or Creative Kids Museum at Telus Spark Science Centre.

Let us take you through the super fun Flying Squirrel Trampoline Park, so you know what to expect. We provide lots of tips at the end as well.

Flying Squirrel Trampoline Park

You can find here lots of attractions to have fun for hours:

climbing walls
aerial silks
hula hoop
battle beams
dunk hoops
foam pits
freestyle courts
inflatable park
kiddie court
kiddie inflatable park
rope swings
slackline

While other indoor playgrounds are not time-limited, you buy your jump time ahead at Flying Squirrel Trampoline Park – 60, 90, or 120 minutes.

When you pay the admission fee, there are lockers for your stuff. You need a $2 coin if you’d like to lock your valuables, or as staff advised us, we can leave there our jackets unlocked.
What we usually do is leave our shoes and jackets in unlocked locker, and take our backpack with water and personal stuff to the trampoline area and leave it on the couch.

Let’s see what fun things are inside the trampoline park.

Arcade & Café

While I found this a common practice at indoor playground, I didn’t enjoy walking through the arcade first thing. On the other hand, it’s a good lesson for our little kids to learn to resist the flashing lights.

The café provides hot meals, snacks, drinks, and several tables to enjoy the food. They offer seven different pizzas or options to buy by slice, chicken nuggets, Pringles, mini donuts, candy bars, cold sodas, slushies, and hot drinks. I think this has a room for improvement, but since you’re paying by the hour for trampolines, there’s no need to waste time at the café.

One thing that is different from other indoor playgrounds is that it’s not forbidden here to ear your own food.

Kiddie court

After the Cafe and birthday party tables, there’s a kiddie court on the left.

The kiddie court has a foam pit, and a giant swinging caterpillar. This is technically the place for the smallest kids, but my almost 2 year old chose to run around on the trampolines anyway.

Then you enter the massive trampoline area.

Trampoline area

On the first glance, it seems like there’s an infinite amount of trampolines. Even on the busiest days, we’ve never had an issue finding trampolines for us.

The most popular seemed to be the battle beams. Some parents are relieved there’s finally a place where kids can play and hit each other without getting injured.

The big 3D climbing wall looks like a fun place to learn climbing. Instead of being tight with a rope at a climbing gym, you can climb freely and then jump to the giant foam pit.

All attractions are located around the central massive trampoline area. There’s a hula hoop with a foam pit underneath, dunk hoops, a freestyle court where you can also jump to the sides of the trampoline, aerial silks, slacklines, and rope swing, and all have foam pits underneath so that kids can go crazy.

This soft climber was a favourite for my little one.

There are several massage chairs by the rope swing and lots of couches around the whole trampoline area for parents to relax.

One side of the building is dedicated to the inflatable park with many obstacles and slides.

Overall the Flying Squirrel Trampoline Park is an excellent place for kids and adults, and I can see why all kids enjoy it so much.
