About
Surge Adventure Park is a large indoor entertainment center on North Mall Drive in Virginia Beach, close to Lynnhaven Mall. The facility combines trampolines, a ninja warrior course, climbing walls, dodgeball courts, a foam pit, and an arcade area into one high-energy venue. It's designed to let kids (and adults) burn off serious energy regardless of the weather outside.
The trampoline area is the centerpiece, with wall-to-wall connected trampolines, slam dunk basketball hoops, and a foam pit for practicing flips. The ninja warrior course challenges older kids and teens with obstacles inspired by the TV show — monkey bars, warped walls, and balance beams that test agility and upper body strength. Climbing walls of varying difficulty levels offer another vertical challenge.
The park requires all jumpers to wear special grip socks (available for purchase at the front desk) and enforces a signed waiver before anyone can enter the activity areas. Sessions are typically sold in 60, 90, or 120-minute blocks. During busy times, the trampoline courts can get crowded with a mix of age groups, so parents of younger children should watch for larger kids doing flips nearby.
Surge also hosts birthday parties and group events, which means weekend afternoons can be louder and more packed than weekday visits. The on-site snack bar serves basic food like pizza and drinks. The arcade section gives kids something to do if they need a break from jumping.
The facility is fully indoors and climate-controlled, making it one of the better rainy day options in Virginia Beach. It's particularly popular with the 6-14 age range, though younger children have a designated smaller area to play safely away from the bigger jumpers.

Why Kids Love It
Wall-to-wall trampolines, a ninja warrior course, and a foam pit — it's basically a giant indoor obstacle course where kids can flip, bounce, and climb nonstop. The competitive elements like dodgeball and slam dunk hoops add extra energy. Most kids leave sweaty and thoroughly worn out, which parents tend to appreciate.
Pro Tips from Parents

- Visit on weekday mornings or early afternoon for the least crowded experience.
- Bring or buy grip socks at check-in — regular socks are not allowed on the trampolines.
- Have younger kids stick to the designated small-child area to avoid collisions with bigger jumpers.
