We love discovering new places around the area, but we sometimes gravitate to those that we’ve explored before — because we absolutely loved it. While we visited Jumps N’ Jiggles a few years ago and I have to say now that my older sons are 5 and 3, it was the perfect time to revisit this fun indoor playground and carousel!

Highlights:
- Fun mazelike play structure with a sprial slide…
…and rocking helicopter.
- Perfect for crawlers. Lots of toys to keep my little one entertained.
- Gotta love the Madagascar-esque mural.
- Carousel fun! Now, how many play places have unlimited carousel rides included in the admission? That alone is worth $4!
Bottom Line:
What a great budget-friendly way to spend the day! Older kids will enjoy exploring the play structure, while little ones can play with age-appropriate toys on the floor. Everyone will enjoy taking a spin or two on the carousel.
Tips to enjoy Jumps n’ Jiggles and the Carousel:
- When you walk in, head to the left to pay for admission and you’ll receive a sticker.
- Bring socks!
- Pack a lunch. Lots of seating in the carousel room for those that want to have a snack.
- Check their hours – it’s open only for a few hours on the weekdays.
