Flying Squirrel Spokane Valley vs. Altitude: which wins for families?

Choosing between Flying Squirrel Spokane Valley and Altitude Trampoline Park is a good problem to have—both are high-energy, weather-proof escapes that leave kids happily wiped and parents grateful. The real differences show up in the scale of attractions, how the pricing shakes out for your family, and how simple party planning feels. Here’s a balanced breakdown.

Attractions: big fun—but built for different ages

• Flying Squirrel leans all-in on variety and size under one roof, with a line-up designed for mixed ages and repeat laps: Aerial Silks, Airbag Trampoline Launch Lanes, Airtrack, Arcade, Battlebeam, Climbing Wall, Drey Café, Dunk Hoops, Freestyle Courts, a Performance Trampoline Court, Rope Swing, Slackline, Stunt Jump Airbag, Trampoline Dodgeball, Valo Interactive Climbing Wall, Zip Line, and a Kiddie Inflatable Park for the littles. In short: plenty for beginners, and genuinely exciting features for older kids and teens who want higher, faster, bigger.
• Altitude counters with basic trampoline-park staples: freestyle jump zones, basketball dunk lanes, dodgeball, foam-pit/airbag landings, balance-beam/Battle Beam-style challenges, ninja-inspired obstacles, and kid-friendly areas. The overall footprint of attractions tends to be smaller and a bit gentler, which is fantastic for younger jumpers and first-timers—but can feel less thrilling for older tweens and teens who are chasing bigger tricks or more advanced features.

Verdict on attractions: both parks are fun; your kids won’t argue with more time. But if you’ve got older or more experienced jumpers, Flying Squirrel’s larger-scale elements (Performance Court, Zip Line, Stunt Jump, Valo, Aerial Silks) deliver a noticeably bigger “wow.” Due to the bigger variety and higher level of thrill, it’s also better suited to repeat visits.

What the math says (without the fluff)

• Apples to apples on weekends: Altitude’s top bundle is $40 per jumper; Flying Squirrel’s weekend base breaks down to about $40 per jumper too. That’s a tie. Midweek is where Flying Squirrel Spokane Valley pulls ahead: Flying Squirrel’s weekday package is $350 for 10 jumpers (aka $35 per jumper) with food included. Altitude’s mid-tier All-Star sits at $35 per jumper too but no food is included. Altitude’s leaner Rookie tier is $30 per jumper but doesn’t include food and adds $75 if you want to bring your own food.

Who should pick which? (real-life scenarios)

• Mostly under-10s or first-timers: Altitude’s smaller, gentler attractions build confidence quickly and keep the vibe friendly and manageable.
• Tweens/teens or mixed ages: Flying Squirrel’s bigger features (Performance Court, Zip Line, Stunt Jump, Valo, Aerial Silks) offer more progression and excitement without leaving younger siblings behind.
• You want to throw an easy, fun, stress-free party: Flying Squirrel’s bundled food, transparent extra-guest pricing, and predictable flow make the day feel turnkey for parents and absolutely thrilling for kids.
