I brought my two-year-old son to Bounce yesterday to get some wiggles out as we were on a road trip to the Lynchburg area. We frequently visit Charlottesville (once a month) and wanted to find a kid-friendly place to relax.  I was intrigued by the website's description of the play place. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Do you know how dirty your place is? Did you know that your "employees" wear hoodies and sit on their phones while at the front desk and have gossip time? Yep! When we arrived at Bounce, we were barely acknowledged by the two young staff members. I had to ask questions about how the park worked and what I needed to do. I was very surprised to find the price of $20 for a child's entry fee. Granted, it was for all day, however, I couldn't imagine spending all day in such a sad excuse for an indoor play place.  Upon first glance, after paying unfortunately, I discovered that the climbing equipment was visibly dirty. I wonder when and if any of this was actually cleaned? Ironically, my two-year-old must have picked up on the fact that I was so uncomfortable because he started to act hesitant to play. In the "2 and under" section, there was visible sand or dirt behind the filthy bounce house.  We ventured over to the Lego and truck area. I was puzzled to find train tracks that had only one train piece. My son even asked where the rest of the train pieces were. After searching under furniture, I decided that there weren't any other pieces. Next, we went to the "2-5" area where my son found car tracks, but no cars to drive on the tracks. The Lego table had bits of food, hair, and other unknown nastiness in the crevices.  The cafe was unattended the whole time we were there.  The bathrooms were atrocious. Trash bins were overflowing and there was no appropriate diaper pail to dispose of dirty diapers. There were also no paper towels in the bathroom and I had to ask the front desk ladies to restock it. The depressing "paint room" had one solid color paint and a water cup.  Upon exiting, I asked the front desk lady for a business card for the manger, not surprisingly, she couldn't find one.

Price has been increased on certain days of the week-we paid $40 for two kids-very crowded when we went and it was very dirty. A few times three kids were actually running in-between the bouncehouses with no staff or parents around (!). One ride was Out of Order as was the water fountain- cafe was closed and the paint room was a wreck. Not once in the time where we there did any staff clean it down…to top it off we are now Concerned we picked up a cold or something there-Def Not worth it IMO. Terrible
