Before you go

What to pack for indoor play

SocksGrip socks, for everyoneMost play places and trampoline parks require socks, some for grown-ups too. Each card has the sock rule when the place posts one.
TimingGo at toddler timeWeekday mornings are calmer, and toddler sessions keep big kids out.
WaiversSign the waiver at homeTrampoline parks and many play places ask for an online waiver. Doing it before you leave skips the line.
