Pump It Up Frequently Asked Questions

COVID-19 Procedures

How do 100% private parties make it safer to celebrate?
As always, our 100% private parties provide you the opportunity to be in control of who attends your event and allows us to clean and sanitize the party space between each event. In addition, we have implemented the use of a sanitizing fogging device between events on inflatables and surfaces. This method offers far better coverage, shorter drying times, and an overall better kill rate for viruses and bacteria within the facility to keep our guests and employees safe.
What are your cleaning procedures?
We have always taken the safety of our guests and team members as our #1 Priority, which includes the cleaning and proper sanitization of our all our equipment and entire facility. Given the recent events surrounding COVID, we wanted to take this opportunity to share with you just some of the extra measures we are taking, and equipment which has been purchased, to take our disinfecting protocols to an even higher level. Once we re-open, what you can expect to see at Pump It Up! We have spaced out starting times of events to allow more time for disinfecting before each event starts. We have purchased disinfectant fogging machines which will be used between all parties or events in our bounce stadiums. We have added additional sanitizing units throughout our facility.
Are you conducting any sort of cleaning / disinfecting measure before reopening?
