Q: What are the profit margins for a Indoor Trampoline Park?

The average profit margin for a Indoor Trampoline Park is around 20%. Main costs: rent ($8K–$25K/month for large-format warehouse space), 10–20 part-time staff, insurance ($30K–$80K/year), trampoline maintenance and pad replacement, and marketing. Payroll runs 28–35% of revenue at healthy parks.

Birthday parties, dodgeball leagues, and parents desperate for a tired kid — all paying by the hour

Bottom line

Worth studying, but do not buy without strong local proof.

Indoor trampoline parks fill 15,000–40,000 sq ft warehouses with interconnected trampolines, foam pits, dodgeball courts, climbing walls, and ninja obstacle courses. Revenue stacks four ways: walk-in hourly admissions, birthday party packages ($200–$500), group event bookings, and concessions. A well-run mid-sized park does $1M–$2.5M annually with 18–25% EBITDA margins. The business is surprisingly durable — weather-proof, recession-resistant for the birthday-party segment, and defensible in secondary markets where one park captures the entire local entertainment wallet for kids.

How It Works

Customers pay $15–$25 per hour for general jumping or $20–$35 for access to the full park. Birthday parties are the highest-margin SKU: a 2-hour party package with private room, pizza, and socks runs $250–$500 and can be booked 6+ weeks out. Parks run 10–20 staff (mostly part-time), a booking system, and liability waivers. Revenue peaks on weekends and school holidays; summer camps and weekday field trips fill the weekday calendar. Repeat customers are driven by kids' social groups — if one kid has a party here, twelve others ask their parents for the same.

Pros

+Birthday parties are pre-booked, pre-paid revenue with strong margins
+Weather-proof: rain, snow, or heat send families indoors

Cons

-High startup cost: $500K–$2M for equipment, build-out, and safety systems

-Seasonal: slower on school days, slower in summer if there are outdoor alternatives
