Run Jump-N-Play

Totally awesome! All new Rainbow Playsets, Inflatables, Basketball hoops! My kids love it!

We’ve attended several birthday parties here as guests and each year it seems to get worse. We would never pay to host one of our own children’s parties here. The staff are a bunch of 16 year olds who spend more time flirting with each other than actually working. They pay no attention to the children’s safety or organizing the parties. The last party we went to there were two teenagers who were supposed to be running the party for the birthday boy and instead they were feeding each other pizza in a dark corner somewhere while the children ran around and the parents were the ones making sure that they were all okay. Part of the group moved to a new room and the other half got left behind because no one knew that the party had even moved since the teenagers did not collect the group and let them know. Then when we found out the party had moved to a new room they snapped at our children like it was their fault. The equipment is very unsafe and not maintained whatsoever. The inflatables are literally held together with duct tape. Plastic handles that your tiny children’s hands are supposed to grip when climbing are broken off into pointy pieces that if you weren’t paying attention could seriously hurt you. The staff are rude, the facility is dirty and not maintained, and honestly I cannot see why parents continue to host parties there. We have finally decided after our most recent experience as a birthday guest there that we will now be declining birthday parties if they will be hosted at this facility. There are much better alternatives in the Cincinnati area and surrounding towns. As expensive as these parties are you should get your money’s worth somewhere else!

My son had a party here two years ago and we had a blast. We just had his most recent birthday as well and the experience was much different. The staff was inattentive and the place seemed like they hadn’t done any maintenance on it since we were there two years ago.
Their website talks about «Worry-​free for Mom and Dad!», but that would require for our party host to actually be around. I would say which host it was, but she never bothered to actually introduce herself to us or anyone at the party. When the party started she pointed the kids to the golf area and then disappeared for about 10 minutes, leaving the few parents that stayed to direct and wrangle 13 seven year olds. The Cosmic Glo Party package is supposed to include the «Eye-​Play Interactive Game», but when I asked if we could turn it on, the party host didn’t even know what it was and advised it hadn’t worked during her entire employment there. When we complained to management we were told it was an «extra» to the party, but when we advised it was advertised as part of the package we were offered a pass to come back in the future instead of discounting our current party. The «Canon Ball Air Blaster» also has four banks of blasters, but of course one wasn’t working. We also did the Glo Bowling in this section, but it was left up to the kids and parents to reset the bowling lanes after each game with no direction from our «host».
The next section was the bouncy houses. The kids had fun, but the houses seemed old and not very well kept up. Again we were not «worry free» as our host left again on several occasions and we found ourselves having to look out for the kids. When one kid fell and got hurt the host offered to get ice, but disappeared for several minutes before finally returning with ice. The host’s interaction with the kids in this section was entirely comprised of throwing a basketball with two of the boys after one asked, yet failing to interact with any of the others.
Finally we went to a party room for cake and presents. The host made no effort to control the flow of the party as far as telling the kids to sit down or asking if it was time to do presents. The host helped with carving the cake and pouring drinks, but we found ourselves jumping in to help as the one person couldn’t keep up with distributing cake and drinks to 13 kids in a timely fashion. When it came time for presents she basically stood in the corner next to the chair and wrote the present list, but kids kept standing and pulling stuff off the present table, and we found ourselves policing the kids.
At the end when I paid I advised the person checking me out of my issues and all I got was an apology and advised that she was «new». Two years ago we had a great time with an attentive host, but the latest experience just feels like the place stopped caring about upkeeping the facilities or properly training their staff. We will not be returning.

Not bad for $ 7.
This is a nice option to have when looking for something to do on a rainy Saturday. They had a few plastic play houses and numerous ‘outdoor play-​sets” set up, along with 2 trampolines… I got to bounce on the trampolines :) !!! The bounce house area was not set up at the time we were there. The staff are the typical high school and college school kids… they are just there to collect your money and make sure you sign the waiver, everything else is a free for all

Will not allow you to open your children’s gifts unless you have paid around $ 300 for a private party. They do not mention this in their website. Rude staff.

Desperate to find something other than Chuck E’s to entertain our very active five year old boy, we decided to drive the distance from Enon to Mason, Ohio to check out a very promising «Run Jump-​N-​Play» after reading about them here on Unilocal (thanks to the first reviewer!) then calling and finding out they were opened really late tonight, later than advertised. Admission was $ 6, very fair! The first thing you’ll notice is the location nestled in a nice quiet section of town (in my opinion as a non-​resident of course) and their parking lot and building are absolutely gigantic. Seriously, Chuck E’s has nothing on this place, size wise. Wow! It was like a labyrinth!
When we walked in, we were really impressed by the different equipment and were excited to set our son loose and watch him enjoy the abundant sampling of different richly appointed wooden swing sets, also available to purchase. Each was in impeccable condition, clean, and complete with great slides and all the premium add-​ons like many tire swings, all different heights to suit different ages and abilities, «rock climbing-​esque-​walls» built into the sides of some etc and enough swings and sea-​saws that nobody was waiting for a turn; everyone was happy. There were several large trampolines, also in impeccable condition, being enjoyed thoroughly by the kids. I really appreciated the care they put into keeping the equipment clean, and for providing the very best in quality. Even the floors were padded. There was so much to do!
Just when we thought we had seen it all, we learned there were nooks we hadn’t noticed, hidden hallways and rooms (completely available to us) tucked away generously appointed with many, many blow up castles, slides, obstacle course like areas, and even one particularly impressive feature that reminded me of a coliseum. They had one inflatable that levitated balls! Such neat stuff! Where on Earth did they find all this? It must have cost them a fortune, but alas, the owner apparently spared no expense with the play equipment.
It got better. There were several themed party rooms each bearing an impressively large inflatable themed throne for the birthday boy or girl to grace. I don’t expect to remember them all, but of those I did see, the following stuck out in my mind:
–Princess Themed
–Pirate themed
–Candy Themed
–Medeval Knight Themed
If you would like to see these for yourself please check out the photos I posted to their business page. There truly was so much to see, so much to do. Among other really neat things, you’ll find several basket ball hoop areas, one bathed in neon murals and black lights complete with glowing basket balls, the other with multiple hoops differing in size accommodating even pint sized players as well, with normal lighting. You’ll find a mini-​bowling area in it’s own sequestered off room, gleaming with special effects lighting and technology everywhere you look.
They have a interactive digitized floor! Seriously! Yes, a digital floor folks! Wow, right? It shuffles through several neat games appropriate for all ages alike. Such fun! During one such game, the entire floor started writhing with huge VERY realistic cockroaches, just begging for (you guessed it) you to squash them! It’s crazy! My son actually got freaked out by that one because they looked so very real! Um, yeah. If you’re afraid of roaches, you’ve been warned! Another neat game appeared that turned the floor into a huge xylophone ala Tom Hanks in «Big». Giving away my age again, no? The last neat game I observed before I ran away to take pictures was one where the floor became covered in TNT wildly swirling about. When you stepped on it, it exploded visually and audibly. So cool! What an awesome place.
They have a mini-​golf area near the bowling area, which we didn’t use because we didn’t know if it was opened for use or not due to there being nobody manning it. We saw clubs on the counter, balls in a bucket on the floor, but it just wasn’t obvious if they meant for us to help ourselves. It ended up being just that! So if you’re going, if they say it’s opened when you check in, just mosey on in and help yourself! Last but not least of the neat things, they had a room called the «Air Blaster» room (also in my photos) all decked out in neon paint and special effects lighting, with two opposing rows of ball popping air launchers to shoot at one another and presumably (but not likely) land in the opposing person’s net basket attached to their gun. Kind of confusing to explain, just look at the photo! I’m trying to say it was unlike anything I have ever seen, and pretty cool at that!
This place is a memory making machine, folks. The only reason I give it 4 stars is with all that is going on, it is a little bit unintuitive for the kids to know where they can and cannot go. We might have completely missed the golf and digital room and jumping rooms had we not been brave enough to explore uninvited. I vote 4 enthusiastic stars!

Run Jump N Play will knock your socks off! What a facility and staff! The layout is perfect for any sized party with various age groups. The party attendants kept the party moving and on time. EVERYONE we came into contact with was friendly, helpful and organized. WOW!
For an inflatables party, you start off in a general area to play on trampolines and wooden swing sets while your guests arrive. Once everyone arrives, your party attendant moves everyone into an isolated room filled with inflatables, more trampolines and fun party music. It’s like heaven for kids! After a while, the party attendant comes back and guides your party to a different isolated room for MORE playing, sliding and climbing on new inflatables. PLAY PLAY PLAY! Once it’s time to eat, the party attendant takes you to your party room where everything is already set up. I brought my own decorations and gift bags, but they were happy to do all the set up so I could enjoy the party! They continue helping by serving pizza, drinks, cake and assisting with presents, if needed. When it’s all done, they load all of your items into a huge bin on wheels and take it out to your car.
I couldn’t have asked for anything better. AWESOME! If I could add a star, I would. BTW, they serve pizza from Tower Pizza in Mason and it was DELICIOUS!
TIP: Although they will knock your socks off, you have to put them back on! Socks are required for health reasons. No one wants green toes! :)
