So, what’s the big deal about Jumpsky Aalst? Well, first off, it’s not just another trampoline park. This place is actually one of the biggest in Europe and has been voted the best indoor attraction park in Belgium.

Who Can Jump? Age and Height Requirements

At Jumpsky Aalst anyone can jump! However, they do have some guidelines in place.

• General Age Policy: The park is a fantastic place for jumpers of all ages. However, children under 6 years should be accompanied by an adult to ensure they have a safe and enjoyable experience (there’s an arrangement that allows an accompanying adult entry for €3 during the first hour of the day)
• Height Restrictions: For safety, there are height restrictions in specific areas. It’s a good idea to check these on their website before you go, but it’s also clearly stated at each attraction that has height restrictions.
• Visiting Times Based on Age Groups: Jumpsky Aalst has a unique approach to accommodating different age groups:

👩 Morning – Ideal for Little Ones: If you have toddlers or younger children, the best time to visit is in the morning. This time is better  for smaller kids, as it’s less crowded which makes for a more comfortable jumping experience.

👩 Daytime – Children and Teenagers: As the day progresses, the park becomes more suited to older kids and teenagers. The afternoon hours are great for them to enjoy the various activities Jumpsky Aalst has to offer.

👩 Evenings After 6 PM – (Young) Adults: For young adults and adults, the ideal time to visit is in the evening, especially after 6 PM. This allows for a more adult-friendly environment, perfect for those looking to enjoy the park without kids running around.

While Jumpsky Aalst doesn’t have separate areas for different age groups, their time-based policy makes sure that everyone, from the littlest jumpers to adults, can enjoy their time in a setting that’s best suited for them.

These are guidelines, so nothing will be enforced. However, I thought it was a great way of keeping little ones safe (speaking as a mum of a 2-year-old toddler who thoroughly enjoyed the park during the first jumping period), so I’d really encourage you to follow these guidelines to keep the parks safe and fun for everyone.

Trampolines or Inflatables?

At Jumpsky Aalst, the fun is split across two levels, each offering a different kind of thrill. You’ll need to decide which adventure you’re up for ahead of time, as switching between the two isn’t allowed.

Jumping times in the inflatable park start at the half-hour mark, while you can start your fun at the trampoline park at the full-hour mark.

Tickets are valid for 1 hour of jumping, so if you want to do both areas you’ll have to buy 2 tickets and you’ll have a 30-minute waiting time in between.

Ground Floor – Trampoline Park

The ground floor is where you’ll find the trampoline park. It’s a large area filled with trampolines as far as the eye can see. Perfect for those who love to jump, flip, and fly through the air. There’s a lot of open space, so it doesn’t feel crammed at all.

Trampoline Park Attractions:

• Sweeper: A rotating beam that changes speeds and directions – dodge the beams as they come around!
• Trapeze: Swing through the air like Tarzan and land safely into an airbag.
• Valo Jump: Interactive gaming experience where you’re filmed and can see yourself in the game on a screen, jumping for high scores.
• Maincourt: Endless fun jumping from one trampoline to another, perfect for practicing flips and tricks.
• Walk on Walls: With high-performance trampolines, you can experience the thrill of ‘walking’ on 2.5m walls.
• Stuntzone: A place for the adventurous, dive into an airbag from an obstacle or trampoline.
• Rugged Interactive: A game where you jump to hit light-up pads, racing against an opponent for the highest score.
• Tumbling Lane: Ideal for stringing together a series of flips and somersaults.
• Aeroball: A unique game where you try to score in your opponent’s goal while they defend, all on trampolines.
• Half Pipe: Use a bounceboard in a setting that mimics a skate park.
• Freerunning: Perfect for parkour enthusiasts, with obstacles to jump over and a warped wall to run up.
• Sports Zone: A space dedicated to sports like football, basketball, or dodgeball on trampolines​​.

Level 1 – Inflatable Park

On the first floor, the inflatable park awaits. It’s a world of giant slides, obstacle courses, and bouncy castles. This spot is fantastic for kids (and adults!) who enjoy a more varied play environment. Plus, it’s a great workout without even realizing it. Mind that this part of the park feels a bit more cramped and it’s a little darker than the trampoline park.

Inflatable Park Attractions:

• Obstacle Run: A 150m course filled with challenging obstacles, great for racing friends or testing your agility.
• Maincourt: The central area of the park with various competitive attractions, ideal for friendly contests.
• Castle Tower: An area where you can attempt to conquer or defend a castle tower, adding a playful, strategic element.
• Sport Cage: Experience traditional sports like football and basketball in a unique, more challenging inflatable environment​​.

Food & Drinks

Food and beverages aren’t allowed in the trampoline and inflatable parks – which is a pretty normal rule considering cleanliness and safety.

On the first floor, you’ll find a large café overlooking both jumping parks. It’s separated into three different areas. The main one with the check-in desk, the bar and windows to see the inflatable park. A separate one with huge glass windows overlooking the trampline park a level down (I found this the most fun place to sit and watch the jumpers – especially as you’re observing from above). And then there’s another separate room that is used to seat groups that have booked a birthday party or other event.

As for the food options, you’ll find quite a few snacks but no substantial meals. We had an ice cream and some crisps but you could also order popcorn, nachos, hotdogs, pizza and more.

Hosting parties and Events

The indoor theme park isn’t just accessible to individual jumpers and families, it’s also a popular location for birthday parties, team buildings and school trips.

You can choose from a variety of packages that cater to different group sizes and preferences. These packages often include dedicated jump time, access to various park areas, and sometimes even special additions like a private room or a designated host.

How to get to Jumpsky Aalst

Getting to Jumpsky Aalst is pretty straightforward. Jumpsky is conveniently located at the edge of Aalst City Park, at the industrial Du Parc site, the former grounds of the Du Parc gloves factory. If you’re coming from Aalst station, it’s a manageable 25-minute walk to the park. If you’re driving, you’ll find free parking spots on-site and nearby.

Nearby, you’ll find The Outsider Aalst for those seeking outdoor adventures and if your kids still have energy left, take them to De Speelerij, an indoor playground right next door.

Wrapping up: Is Jumpsky Aalst worth it?

My visit to Jumpsky Aalst with my family was an absolute blast, and it’s clear why this place stands out as one of the best indoor attractions in Belgium.

With convenient access, flexible ticket options, and a variety of attractions, it’s the perfect spot for a fun-filled day out. I also love the visiting times based on age groups that make sure that little kids can join in on the fun too.

It’s not the cheapest place to visit though as a regular ticket only gives you 1-hour of jumping time. So, if you’re in or around Aalst, or just looking for a unique activity in Belgium, Jumpsky Aalst should definitely be on your radar!
