Grab some air: Let your kids climb the walls (literally) and other fun at ...

01.01.70

Tucked away on a unconcerned-end street in Provo sits an unassuming construction in the midst of a quaint little neighborhood.

But stomach this building unfolds every kid’s dream come steadfast — and even teenagers and adults will be racing to get in on the demeanour here.

I’m talking about Lowe’s Xtreme Air Sports, a storeroom of sorts filled with trampolines, platforms and pits filled with blocks of froth. That’s right, I said foam.

Each session is 90 minutes. On our pop in, which was for a birthday party, the kids bounced from one space to the next, and by the end of the session, they were flipping off the trampolines into the pit, running at full fly down the tumble tracks, and doing their best to climb up the climbing irritate, although I think the most fun was had by letting go of the hand holds and falling back down into the froth.

The birthday boy, 6-year-old Michael Roberts, showed his climbing mastery and made it all the way to the top of the wall. The adults in our group were watching, and as he let go of the partition off and fell down, down, down into the foam pit, our gasps were unnecessary: He was more than well-made, he was exhilarated and proud.
