About
Pump It Up Overland Park is the inflatable party center that Johnson County families reach for when they want a birthday party that handles itself — an all-in-one venue where kids bounce on giant inflatables while parents follow a pre-organized program that eliminates most of the coordination stress of a homemade party.
The facility is built around large-scale inflatable attractions: giant bounce houses, multi-lane inflatable slides, and obstacle course inflatables that accommodate everything from toddlers to pre-teens. The private arena format is the key differentiator — when you book a party at Pump It Up, the arenas are reserved for your group only. No stranger kids running through your party, no competition for equipment access, no external crowd management.
This is what parents pay for and it consistently delivers.
The birthday party package structure is comprehensive: arena time for inflatables, transition to a themed party room for pizza and cake, and staff who manage the timing so the birthday child's parents can actually enjoy the party rather than orchestrate it. Packages vary in length and inclusions — read the current package details carefully to understand what's provided vs. what you need to bring.
Open jump sessions — when available outside party bookings — provide access to the inflatables at a lower cost than a full party package. These are ideal for families who want the Pump It Up experience on a regular basis without the birthday party occasion. Check the website for current open jump session availability and times.
For the 2-12 age range, inflatable play is a perennial hit. Grip socks are required and sold at the venue.

Why Kids Love It
Pump It Up is pure inflatable joy — giant bounce houses, obstacle courses, and slides in a private, enclosed space that turns even a regular Tuesday into a party. The private-facility feel means no strangers' kids to navigate, which parents particularly appreciate during birthday parties. Open jump sessions give the same experience for less.
