Bounce U vs Pump It Up

I was going to have DD's 4th bday party at Pump It up (Plainview) on sat 3/9, but our friends are having their son's party there on Sat 3/2. This is her 1st party so I want it to be special for her and don't want her to be at the same place the weekend before hers. So now I am thinking to do it at Bounce U instead so at least the location is different. Anyone have any pros or cons to having it at either place. TIA!!

Bounce U vs Pump It Up

We had Ann's 3rd birthday at Bounce U in Smithtown/Nesconset and thought they did a great job. As a matter of fact we are going to a party there this weekend for one of the guests from her party (back in July!) that loved it so much, the child only wanted her party to be there!


ETA: I will say, it's the only bounce type place I've ever been to so I really have nothing to compare.

Re: Bounce U vs Pump It Up

I went to a party at Bounce U (Farmingdale) recently and then last week to one at Pump It Up and I would say I liked Pump it Up (Bohemia) better but they were not drastically different. I just thought Pump it Up seemed newer and cleaner. The girls were a little more helpful and more organized. They both were good though.

I've never been to Bounce U, but I can only rave about Pump it Up in Plainview. The staff is dedicated and everything is run so smoothly. After having parties other places, it has made me appreciate them.

I had DS's fourth and fifth birthday parties at pump it up. It was definitely less expensive than bounce u and I found the staff to be friendlier but I have been to parties at both and they were both fine.

I just had my foot cut open on a metal anchor at a PA Bounce U location so I don't know how safe this franchise is anymore....
