Flying Squirrel Spokane vs. We Play: Which Spokane Valley spot wins for active kids?

Looking for a fun place for your kids to burn off some energy? Spokane Valley parents have two big indoor options: Flying Squirrel Trampoline Park and We Play at Spokane Valley Mall. Both are fun. Both get your kids moving. But they’re pretty different experiences—and depending on your kids’ ages and energy level, one is likely a better fit.

Here’s a friendly, side-by-side look at Flying Squirrel Spokane vs. We Play, with a slight lean toward the place that sends kids home happily exhausted (hint: it involves a lot of trampolines).

Attractions: big trampolines vs. big play structures

We Play

We Play is a premier indoor playground created specifically for kids roughly six months to about six years old. The main structure is about 5,489 square feet and packed with slides, ball blasters, a small trampoline, zip line, climbing and crawling obstacles, plus an attached eight-obstacle ninja warrior course.

There’s also:

• A dedicated 700 sq. ft. toddler area with a small climbing wall, sensory boards, slides, swing, and play table
• Imagination Station and Lego Zone for quieter, sit-down play when kids need a breather

It’s a solid choice if your kids love climbing, sliding, and pretend play in a more traditional soft-play structure.

Flying Squirrel Spokane

Flying Squirrel, on the other hand, is a full-scale trampoline and adventure park. The Spokane Valley location is one of the larger indoor parks in the region, with wall-to-wall trampolines, climbing walls, toddler zones, and an on-site café.

Highlights include:

• Huge trampoline courts for open jump
• Specialty zones like performance-style trampolines and foam / airbag areas
• Climbing elements, aerial silks, dunk goops, a rope swing, a zip line, trampoline dodgeball and other active attractions for older kids and teens
• A kiddie inflatable park
• An arcade

If your goal is maximum energy burn in minimum time, Flying Squirrel is hard to beat. It’s built for big movement—jumping, flipping, running, and playing—across a large, open space that works for kids, teens, and parents who want to join in.

Ages and vibe: who each place is best for

We Play:

• Sweet spot: toddlers to roughly age six
• Strong toddler offering and plenty of soft-play features
• Great if you have younger kids who like playground-style structures and you want everything in one contained unit

Flying Squirrel Spokane:

• Works well for a wider age range—from little jumpers (with adult supervision) to older kids and teenagers
• Child-friendly areas plus bigger attractions that genuinely entertain teens and adults
• Neon Lights nights (Fridays and Saturdays, 9–11 p.m.) add a “cool factor” for older kids who want music and glowing lights while they jump

If you’ve got a mix of ages—say, a five-year-old, a 10-year-old, and a 14-year-old—Flying Squirrel usually wins on the “no one is bored” scorecard.

Even with young kids, the inflatable park alone is a huge hit.

Pricing: playtime vs. jump time

Prices can change, so always double-check online before you go, but here’s the general picture right now:

We Play daily play prices (2 hours):

• Weekdays:
  • Ages 1–2: $12.95
  • Ages 3–12: $14.95
• Weekends:
  • Ages 1–2: $16.95
  • Ages 3–12: $18.95

Flying Squirrel Spokane jump passes:

• 60 minutes: $19
• 90 minutes: $24
• 120 minutes: $29
• Toddler pricing (6 and under) from $14 for 60 minutes

We Play comes in a bit lower for a standard two-hour visit, especially for younger kids. Flying Squirrel is more of a premium active experience—more like a big attraction day out than a quick mall stop. We Play may be the more economical option but if you’re looking for big wow factor and fun, Flying Squirrel feels worth the extra few dollars.

Birthday parties: who makes it easier on parents?

We Play parties

We Play offers structured party packages:

The Play Big package—$295 for 10 kids

• Dedicated party host
• Grip socks for kids

The Play Hard package—$395 for 10 kids

• Everything from the Play Big package plus pizza, chips, water, and themed cake (or the option to bring your own dessert) and party favor bags

Flying Squirrel Spokane parties

Flying Squirrel’s Bounce and Soar party package includes:

• 10 party guests with 2 hours of jump time plus 30 minutes for cake and presents
• Option to add up to 12 more guests
• 2 large pizzas (add more for bigger groups)
• Water bottles, birthday crown, custom sign, and a plush squirrel
• Flying Squirrel water bottle and free one-hour jump pass for the guest of honor
• Hosted, start-to-finish experience (check-in, shout-outs, timing, cleanup)

Pricing:

• $350 Monday–Thursday
• $400 Friday–Sunday / holidays

We Play’s parties are great, especially if you want cake taken care of for you. But Flying Squirrel’s parties lean more into the “epic experience” side—especially if you book during Neon Lights at no extra charge, when the park becomes a glowing jump party zone.

Safety and cleanliness: how they stack up

Both venues take safety seriously. We Play emphasizes clear rules, cleanliness standards, and a check-in system that gives each family a UV stamp so staff can control who comes in and out, plus grip-sock requirements for safer traction.

Flying Squirrel layers in safety at both the park level and engineering level:

• Child-friendly areas and on-floor staff focused on safety
• Corporate-wide standards using the Shock Trampoline Park System, a patented structure with shock-absorbing mounts, pivoting bed rails, and gas shocks built into the frame to help reduce the impact of off-target landings

So while both are committed to clean, safe play, Flying Squirrel has the edge in terms of specialized trampoline engineering and the extra safety innovation that comes with it.

So… Flying Squirrel or We Play?

Here’s the quick summary:

Choose We Play if:

• Your kids are mainly 6 months–6 years and love playground-style climbing and pretend play
• You’re already at Spokane Valley Mall and want a convenient 2-hour break
• You’re looking for slightly lower weekday pricing for younger kids

Choose Flying Squirrel Spokane if:

• You want a high-energy, full-body workout for kids, teens, and even parents
• You’ve got a mix of ages and need something fun for everyone
• You’re planning a birthday party and want a big “wow” experience with hosted support
• Safety-focused trampoline design and large, open jump zones matter to you

In the end, both spots have a place in a Spokane Valley family’s indoor-fun rotation. But if your goal is tired kids, happy faces, and a quiet ride home, Flying Squirrel Spokane usually comes out on top.
