Each Party Package includes: 22 kids (under age 18), 20 adults + 1 free bday child. (Note Aliso Viejo location packages include 22 kids, 22 adults + 1 Free bday child). Additional guests are welcome for an additional fee per guest. If you have fewer kids than included and more adults, we will have the extra adults take the kid spots to save you money…but it does not go the other way around, kids can not take an adult spot. Please contact your local Scooter’s Jungle for maximum occupancy.
Stores run individual “DEALs” on a regular basis. Look up “More Options” on top right of store screen, or press the “Deals” button on the party info page for more info. Most deals can not be combined with other deals or package discounts. In-store discounts for Scouts/Teams/Military (if offered) can not be combined with other discounts either.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer a discount as the party price is based on the use of the arena and dining room. If you have a much smaller party, consider attending a Family Fun Event and renting our dining room for private dining during the event.
Even if some adults choose not to play, they are still guests that get our attention in both the arena and dining room. We charge 50% less for extra adults since they do play less…at times! Plus, bring it on…guests ages 80 and over are FREE.
Typically, one staff will assist in the play arena and one in the dining room, plus one facility supervisor will be overseeing your event also. Larger events will have an additional staff to follow in both the arena and dining areas, but prior arrangements need to be made before your event. Please contact our event planners 2-3 days ahead if you expect over 50 guests attending your event.

Scooter’s Jungle features custom-made, enormous inflatables and permanent attractions that are right-sized for kids and parents, from ages 1 to 101. We offer age-appropriate play arenas that enable kids and parents to play together for an active, fun-filled memorable experience. And we’re home to the tallest and longest indoor inflatable slides, the original indoor zip lines, pretend rooms, and indoor obstacle courses—just to name a few.
Our fun and friendly trained staff will provide supervision in the inflatable play areas; however, supervision is a shared responsibility between the adult guests and our staff.
Absolutely! Our tropical custom-made inflatables and attractions are designed for high volume, indoor use. Each inflatable is put through rigorous testing before being released to any Scooter’s Jungle location. We anchor each inflatable to the floor and/or wall to provide extra stability. We have a daily/weekly/monthly cleaning schedule that keeps our facilities and equipment clean and fresh. Plus, our inflatables and attractions have a routine inspection plan for any ongoing maintenance needs.

Approximately 10 minutes into your meet and greet time, we start the safety speech provided half of the expected kids have arrived. Any guest(s) who arrive after safety speech has started, will be checked in and provided an individual safety review.
