The Jumping Gym Review
West Hempstead welcomes newest children's play space for children, The Jumping Gym.
A few weeks ago, Valley Stream Son and I visited West Hempstead's newest play space, The Jumping Gym. I read about it on Facebook somewhere and decided to contact the owner to see if we could stop by for a visit and give it a review. She immediately said yes, and we were on our merry way.
The Jumping Gym, located at 300 Hempstead Turnpike in West Hempstead, NY, is probably less than 15 minutes away from Valley Stream and very easy to get to. One their website, there is a list of classes and so when we arrived, I expected there to be a group of kids we would join only to find out that because the space is so new, there weren't any children. Yet! ValleyStreamMom.com subscribers will receive a chance to participate in a free class. Keep reading...
The facility had ample parking giving visitors easy access to the building. Once we entered, there was a sitting area where we were encouraged to remove our shoes. It's one of those places were you must wear socks, and because it's summer, we weren't wearing any. Of course, there were socks available for purchase for just $1.
We were the only guests there and received one on one personalized attention. I was sort of hoping for a group class so I could give an accurate review of the classes offered, but again, the place is new. Let's give it some time. They have a theme each week. Cute! The theme for the week when we attended was farm animals. My son made each animal sound as he jumped into the hoops to pick up the plush toy. Cute. They read farm stories, one being "Old Mac Donald" which made me realize that my son sings like his dad. Oy.
