Whilst I would have loved to have been going to one of their Australian branches where it all first started, I took my youngest son, who is 10 and a couple of his friends to the Brent Cross location, North West London.<\/p>\n<p>With the amount of time these boys could happily spend on screens \u2013 it was great to give them the chance to get active and jumping. Providing them with some all-important cardiovascular fitness, whilst at the same time apparently helping their balance, coordination and motor skills!<\/p>\n<p>Fun and fitness..the perfect combination!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4949\" src=\"http:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_8251-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_8251-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_8251-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_8251-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They did a one hour Free Jumping session (available from Mon-Thurs 10am \u2013 9pm, Fri-Sat 9am \u2013 10pm &amp; Sun 9am &#8211; 8pm), which gave them access to wall-to-wall trampolines, foam pits, a ninja obstacle course, the trick park where they could try out new stunts and test their skills in the laser maze!<\/p>\n<p>The trampolines are really close together so they could chat away whilst jumping and set challenges for each other. They loved the battle beam &#8211; where they had way too much fun battling each other with giant foam batons!<\/p>\n<p>You could either \u2018flip\u2019 into the enormous foam pit, or simply jump (which looked just as fun)! With trampolines on the walls at an angle &#8211; \u00a0the kids were literally able to \u2018bounce off the walls\u2019 and there were also super bouncy trampolines that sprung them superiorly high into the air\u00a0 &#8211; which they loved!<\/p>\n<p>There is a large area which is designated for little children only, which has a mini foam pit and 2 different areas for trick jumping depending on your height, so there was plenty to keep all ages entertained.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4945\" src=\"http:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_8204-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_8204-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_8204-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_8204-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In fact, after the hour they actually wanted more so I took advantage of the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> hour for half price.
