We know how much you love bringing your little ones to Bounce N Play for a little inside playground time, but summer is also the chance to catch some of the best movies of the year. Especially family-friendly adventures! If you’re yearning for a few hours of quiet after a long day jumping at our open play, we have a few movies your family may love!


Finding Dory
The cute blue tang everyone fell in love with from 2003 is back and ready to pull our heart strings again. This time, follow Marlon and Nemo as they track down Dory after she heads on an adventure to find her family. New faces join them in this adventure, as well as a few old ones (Righteous, dude!) Get ready to laugh!

The BFG
Steven Spielberg and Roald Dahl can do no wrong as they tell this adventure of an orphan and friendly giant. Sophie quickly learns not all giants are looking to eat children and befriends a giant that has been shunned. This movie may be more suitable for older children as it is rated PG, but if you think they’re ready, hold on tight for this fun adventure!

The Secret Life of Pets
You don’t have to be a pet owner to love this movie. It’s not like you haven’t thought about what pets do when their owners are away for the day. This creative and fun-filled movie will keep you and your kids entertained all the way through.  

Whether you’re spending the day climbing our rock wall or relaxing and headed to a movie, we hope you and your family have a great end to your summer!

We are now over halfway through the summer and you have likely been able to spend a lot of your time with your kids! It’s always fun having them around the house, but we all know sometimes they can cause a little trouble when they have so much free time. Positive reinforcement of excellent behavior is the perfect way to help your kids at this very influential age. And there’s no better way to provide positive reinforcement than with a trip to Bounce N Play!

Here are 3 good behaviors you should consider incentivizing with a trip to Bounce N Play:

1. Back to school preparation

If you can believe it, school is coming up fast! Have your kids already started cleaning out their backpacks from last year, or are they already asking to get their school supplies? Being prepared early is a habit that will benefit them for years to come! Once they get all their supplies together and ready for the year — show them you love their initiative and reward them with a trip to our Weekend Open Bounce!  

2. Cleaning Up After Themselves

How many times as a kid do you remember cleaning up after yourself? If you’re like us — it wasn’t too many! The next time your children make a mess and start to clean it up themselves, take notice! Maybe they need a little help, but Parents.com has a few great suggestions for that! If they begin cleaning up after themselves more consistently, then reward them with a play date to their favorite bouncy slide!

3. Making You Smile

This one is simple. We all know how rewarding parenting can be, but there can be ups and downs. Remember to enjoy all moments, big and small, because they all become lasting memories. Better yet, create new memories together at Bounce N Play in Astoria, New York!
