Kids Rule! Fun for those who like to push it to the limit

Jan 27, 2022 01:31PM ● By ANN MARIE O’PHELAN

For some kids, fun stuff includes a swing, a slide, and a kiddy pool. For others, who are older or more adventurous, fun consists of extremes like ziplining, rock-wall climbing, and jet skiing. In Southwest Florida, they can find all levels of fun.

Sky Zone Fort Myers is at the top of many activity lists. “With our new Air Court attraction, Fuel Zone menu updates, and upcoming events, it is an exciting time at Sky Zone Fort Myers,” says owner Jay Highley.

Kids can play basketball, soccer, or volleyball on the new springy, air-filled multicourt that allows for amazing tricks and stunts. Ninja Warrior, Free Climb Rock Wall, Sky-jousting, Zipline, SkySlam, and even Dodgeball are all part of the excitement. Toddlers can enjoy the Little Leapers program with dedicated times and attractions.

After 9 pm, the excitement ratchets up. “Blacklight, lasers, and music transform Sky Zone into a jumping family and friends party that evolves into a dance club,” says regional marketing manager Mandy Carter.
