Flip Factory Zone

Flip Factory Zone on Forest Drive in Columbia is what a trampoline park should look like: well-maintained equipment, enough variety to keep different ages busy, and a track record (4.7 stars, nearly 500 reviews) that tells you this isn't one of those facilities that peaked at opening and then let things slide.

The layout follows the modern trampoline park formula: main open jump courts for freestyle bouncing, foam pits in sizes ranging from beginner-friendly to full plunge, dodgeball arenas where teams of kids work off competitive energy, and wall-running sections that attract the older crowd who've been watching too many ninja warrior shows. For a family with a 6-year-old and a 14-year-old, both will find their lane here — which is genuinely rare.

Timing matters at trampoline parks. Weekday afternoons when school is in session are dramatically quieter than any weekend slot. Saturday at 10AM (when it opens) is the best weekend option if you must go on a weekend.

By 1PM Saturday, expect waits for the popular sections. Friday nights draw a teen crowd, which works if your older kids want that energy but may not be the vibe for a family with younger children.

The economics: jump passes are typically priced by the hour, usually $15-25/person depending on day and session length. For 2 kids at $20 each for 1 hour, that's $40 base. Grip socks are required — buy cheap ones at Walmart ($2-3/pair) rather than paying counter prices. Buy passes online to save a few dollars per person and skip the purchase line.

Note this is in Columbia, SC — not on Hilton Head Island itself. If you're based on the island, this is an inland trip (about 2.5 hours), but it's a logical stop if you're driving through Columbia.
