How do we get to BOUNCE Inc?

Bounce Inc Tingalpa is on Enterprise Place, which is off Wynnum Road quite near where the Gateway Motorway passes overhead. Easy to get to if you’re coming from the west but if this is the opposite direction for you prepare for some u-turns. Parking is plentiful and there is easy access for wheelchairs and prams. The facility is probably about a 20-25 minute drive out of the CBD. If you’re looking to catch a bus it’s route numbers 227 or 215.

What is BOUNCE like?

BOUNCE is a place that creates and celebrates joy, fun and self-powered adrenaline. With a unique blend of freestyle, progression and development, BOUNCE is the ultimate in fun for everyone, whether you’re a walking age toddler, freestyle athlete or anything in between. This is an indoor activity-centred destination like no other!

If you’re planning a trip to BOUNCE you need to make sure you book ahead for your session. To ensure that there are a safe number of people bouncing and that staff can adequately and appropriately cater for the needs of everyone, sessions are capped at a certain number. We thought this was a particularly excellent element of the venue – it means every person gets their own space, there’s no ‘hogging’ as there’s a time limit on your stay and staff aren’t overloaded and stressed. Staff have first-aid qualifications, radios to communicate in case of issues and act as guards and coaches instead of passive supervisors. Supervision and safety are paramount.

Does BOUNCE cater for younger kids or people with different levels of ability?

While not all areas are suited to very young children, BOUNCE offers programs that are a perfect introduction to the fundamentals of movement for pre-schoolers and children from “walking age”.

All levels of Bounce, apart from X-Park, can be reached via pram and wheelchair. Our wonderful host told us that if patrons who had disabilities booked into a session that areas could be cordoned off so that they may also participate in the Bounce experience. Similarly, Bounce receives a lot of visits from school groups in particular those from disadvantaged backgrounds. This is a very positive, very inclusive environment for all.
