How long for inflatable/trampoline park party?

DC wants inflatable park for their birthday. Is it worth paying extra for two hours, or will they just be knackered and is an hour enough? No idea as I’ve never been.

It ain’t cheap! Poll below, any info would really help me out please.

Thanks!

One hour with food is plenty, any more than that and they’ll start to mess about and that’s when the tears start!

As long as parent participation isn’t required…oof it was for under 4’s when mine was invited to one of her nursery friends had a party at one. Christ did I wish I’d worked harder on my pelvic floor.

As long as you’re not meant to eat etc in the time, an hour is plenty. The kids will be happily worn out, and the adults will be glad they don’t have to hang around any longer.

All of the trampoline/inflatable places around us have party packages which are 1 hour to play and 30 minutes to eat (we've been looking recently for an upcoming birthday). An hour is plenty as long as you're not intending on eating within the time.

This is really helpful thank you!! Yes I was thinking one hour then go somewhere nicer to eat!
I’ll book an hour 👍

An hour but make it clear to the children that once they're eating the bouncing is over. Every time we go to a party at our local inflatable place the children all have meltdowns when they can't get back on again after the food.
