“We are very excited to be bringing Air-tastic to Craigavon and we can’t wait to open. Our state of the art trampoline park is a destination for the entire family, whether you’re six months or 60 years of age there’s something for everyone. And it’s an ideal venue to host birthday parties and school or group outings.”

The trampoline park will feature numerous fun zones and activities including a large quantity of interconnected trampolines, slide tower, giant airbag, gladiator beams, foam pits, hang tough rings and ball zones for games of dodge ball, basketball and aeroball. As well as the main trampoline park for those aged five and over there is a special play zone for those aged three to four as well as a soft play area for babies and toddlers.
