Jumping Fun

Bouncing around on trampolines might sound like something you'd grow tired of after twenty minutes, but Jumping Fun near Cheltenham actually delivers a solid afternoon for families who've had enough of traditional attractions. It's the sort of place where kids burn off proper energy while parents can actually sit down with a coffee and watch rather than chase them round a field.

You're looking at wall-to-wall trampolines in a dedicated indoor space - nothing fancy, but well-maintained and safe. The real win here is that it works for a surprising age range. Toddlers love the lower sections, while older kids get stuck into the higher bounces and foam pits. Most families allow between two and three hours, though you'll know when everyone's had enough energy-wise.

It's free admission for adults supervising, though sessions are usually charged by the head or by time. The enclosed setup means it's brilliant on rainy days - and this is Gloucestershire, so rainy days happen often. Not somewhere to build a whole holiday around, but absolutely worth booking in if you're based at somewhere like Tewkesbury Abbey Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite, which sits just six miles away.

Bring socks. That's the rule everywhere like this, and Jumping Fun's no exception. Arrive mid-afternoon on a weekday if possible - weekends get rammed with school groups and birthday parties, which kills the fun factor fast.
