To The Moon! Planet Bounce {Giveaway}

Last Saturday afternoon, we were invited to a preview day at a Planet Bounce Pittsburgh.   When I told my husband, it was in Canonsburg, he said, "All the way there?"  I said, "Yep. We're going and it'll only take us about 45 minutes. That's no biggie."

I think it's my Arizona roots that makes me willing to drive in this city and *gasp* even cross bridges to get somewhere! :)

Given that it is Pittsburgh, I should have known better than to take us out the Parkway West even on a Saturday.  We sat in traffic for about an hour which was not awesome, but I looked over at my husband, glanced in the back at my daughters and said, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it, so let's just enjoy the time together...the weather is gorgeous today!"  George was in agreement. We laughed and sang songs, talked about the Penguins' playoffs, and answered Lily's 23048230752 questions until we arrived at Planet Bounce.

The directions were easy, right off the highway which was perfect for someone unfamiliar with the area!

When we entered, we were greeted by the owners, Ryan and Megan.  My contact, Katie, came over to introduce herself, was ready to answer our questions, guide us where to put our belongings, and share the rules. We got settled in quickly and were off to play.

Coming from the North Hills, we have a couple options in our area for bounce play places, but there isn't anything available South of  Pittsburgh and Planet Bounce fits the bill. We're definitely willing to drive a little further for great treatment by staff, a friendly environment, and a quality, safe place to play!  Planet Bounce did not disappoint!

Aside from the fantastic, friendly staff, it's not overwhelmingly enormous, so it's easy to keep up with an energetic 3 year old who loves to run, jump and climb.  And the best part {for me} was...being able to play with her and not just watch from the sidelines!  Lily had an absolute blast!  She ran, jumped, climbed, slid, skipped, and shouted, "Woooo hooooo!" as she played.

We were treated to a pizza lunch in one of the party rooms as a preview to what birthday parties are like. The pizza was really yummy!  Even my pizza picky husband, {his parents owned and ran a pizza shop when he was growing up} really liked it!

 We moved into another party room for the kids to do some crafts. Lily loved this too. She's all about the glue, stickers, and drawing!

There are a lot of add-ons available for birthday parties, so you're able to customize exactly what you'd like when you celebrate!  One sweet girl modeled the face painting option. How amazing is this?!

Planet Bounce Pittsburgh is family friendly and family-run!  That's important to my family to support "mom and pop" local businesses!  We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

Lily was worn out! Thank you, Planet Bounce!!
