Jump to it at i-Jump Mansfield!

Mansfield’s only Trampoline Park is now open with lots to offer children and adults alike...

“Experience gravity defying fun with a range of sessions to suit the whole family at i-Jump Trampoline Park located on Old Mill Lane in Mansfield Woodhouse - which opened just before Christmas and proving a huge hit!

The park has lots of amazing features to try out, including over 55 interconnected trampolines! During the ‘Open Jump Sessions’ (minimum age 4 years and over - the climbing wall also has a minimum height requirement of 1.2m) you can demonstrate your aerobatic skills as you jump freely across the park bouncing from wall to wall! Swing on monkey bars, unleash your inner gladiator on the Battle Beam or climb up cargo nets; each one suspended over 1 of our enormous foam pits! If you want to practice your freestyle skills you can catapult off the elevated launch pad or show off your skills on the performance trampoline into the massive air bag.

On the climbing wall your endurance, coordination and balance are key if you want to take on this vertical challenge but don’t worry as there is another giant foam pit is ready to catch any lost explorers!

But i-Jump has not forgotten about its younger visitors and has exclusive sessions for under 5s. These i-Tots sessions mean you and your little one can bounce safely and for only £7 per toddler with one parent or guardian jumping for free (including free socks for both jumpers too!). These exclusive sessions are term time only, Monday-Friday 10-11am and are suitable for little ones from walking age to 5 years.

These sessions are dedicated to help your little ones interact and play freely with other youngsters. Whether they want to jump around to all their favourite hit songs or simply explore one of the many activities, i-Tots is designed to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere!”

For more information about i-Jump and i-Tots sessions please contact a member of the team: Tel: 01623 705 909 or visit the website www.i-jump.co.uk

Fun and skills that could save your child’s life We feel incredibly proud that we’ve helped save a number of very young children’s lives after they’ve fallen into water and survived – thanks to the skills they learned with us.

Our world-class teachers could have trained as private pilots – five times over – in the time it takes to fully qualify with us.

You can trust us to take the very best care of you and your little one.

Let’s teach your baby to swim!

20

classes held... exclusively in specially selected toasty warm pools at several locations in Mansfield, Sutton & Shirebrook
