What you need to know to plan your visit to our midtown Missoula indoor play area:

1. WAIVER: Every child must have a WAIVER signed by a parent or legal guardian before they can start bouncing. Not attending with your child? No problem! The waiver must still be signed electronically by the parent/guardian in advance.
   NOTE: If you are a returning customer you must update the waiver by opening the waiver form and clicking on “Returning Customer.”

2. SOCKS: Bouncers & parents should wear or bring socks. We ask that everyone remove their shoes and wear socks to keep the play area clean. Normal socks will suffice, they don’t have to be “grippy” socks.

3. SUPERVISION: An adult must remain present to supervise their children.

4. LOCATION: We are located in the heart of Midtown Missoula at 801 W Kent Ave in Missoula.

5. HAVE FUN!

Can I bring a birthday cake or outside food for my party?

Outside drinks are allowed. However, children's drinks must remain in the cubby area. Adults are allowed to roam throughout the facility with their drinks. Outside food is not allowed in our general open play area, but Birthday Party bookings include a private room where you are welcome to bring your own cake, snacks, and drinks! We also sell a variety of healthy snacks and refreshments at our front desk for all guests.

Do you offer bounce house rentals for backyard parties or events?

Yes! Beyond our indoor park, Bitterroot Bouncers offers mobile rentals for birthdays, weddings, and community events throughout Missoula, the Bitterroot Valley, & Flathead Lake. We handle the delivery, professional setup, and takedown of our high-quality inflatables, slides, obstacle courses, dunk tank, sumo suits, and rock wall so you can focus on the fun. We deliver to Missoula, Frenchtown, Lolo, Florence, Stevensville, Victor, Corvallis, Darby, Hamilton, Arlee, Ronan, Pablo, Polson, Bigfork, Columbia Falls, & Kalispell.

Are there age or weight limits for the bouncy park?

Our indoor facility is designed for children ages 2 to 12. For safety, each inflatable has a maximum weight capacity. There aren’t weight restrictions for individuals. We have dedicated zones to ensure smaller "toddler bouncers" can play safely away from more energetic older children.

Do you offer gift cards or play passes?

We are currently working on launching our gift program! Soon, you’ll be able to purchase digital gift cards and punch passes, which make the best experience gifts for kids in Missoula. Check back soon or follow our social media for the official launch announcement.

How long should a toddler play in a bounce house?

For toddlers (ages 2-5), we recommend starting with 60 minutes of play. This allows them plenty of time to explore the inflatables and burn energy without becoming overstimulated or overly tired. You can always add more time, if your toddler wants to stay longer. Our Missoula facility offers flexible hours to fit your toddler's nap schedule.
