When is Jam Time the busiest?

Mornings from open to 11:30am are the busiest. Our quietest time of the day is from 12-3pm. Winter mornings and rainy days year round are busy. But really, any time is a fun time to visit Jam Time!

How often do you clean your facility?

Jam Time strives to be the cleanest indoor playspace! We wash and sanitize all major areas such as floors, tables, and bathrooms daily. The baby area gets sanitized nightly as well. Throughout the day we wipe down individual toys. All major structures, play tables, ride-ons, individual toys – EVERYTHING gets sanitized once a week. The ball pit is fully drained, washed, and all balls sanitized every 2-weeks. During the summer months, deeper cleaning may be done every other week since we do not have as many people visiting as the busy winter months. We have an online cleaning schedule that alerts our staff when something is due to be cleaned so we can ensure nothing is overlooked. Both locations also have a FreshAir Surround air purrifer by Vollara.

Absolutely, you can use all passes at any and all of our locations!

Can I leave and come back later in the day without paying again?
