About
Bounce N Play in Astoria, Queens, on Steinway Street serves one of the most family-dense neighborhoods in the borough with a neighborhood-scale indoor play experience designed primarily for children ages 1-10.
The format centers on inflatable bounce houses, soft-play climbing structures, and age-appropriate play equipment in a controlled indoor environment. For families with toddlers and preschoolers who aren't yet ready for the intensity of full-scale trampoline parks, Bounce N Play offers the right level of physical engagement in a space that's easier to monitor and navigate.
Astoria is a neighborhood with a large Greek, Egyptian, Moroccan, and South Asian family population, and Bounce N Play has become a go-to weekday and weekend indoor play destination for local families who want an alternative to playground visits when the weather doesn't cooperate.
The Steinway Street location is a 10-15 minute walk from the N/W train stations at Astoria-Ditmars Blvd and Astoria Blvd, making it accessible without a car. The surrounding neighborhood is renowned for its food scene — some of the best Greek food in New York City is within a few blocks, alongside excellent Middle Eastern bakeries, coffee shops, and casual dining.
Birthday parties are a core business at Bounce N Play, so weekend party bookings can affect general admission capacity. Calling ahead to confirm availability is worthwhile, especially for weekend morning visits.
