UpSurge Trampoline Park
About
UpSurge Trampoline Park is a locally owned family entertainment center on McFarland Boulevard East in Tuscaloosa, operated by the same owners as the local Super Skate roller rink. The park gives Tuscaloosa families, church groups, school classes, and birthday parties a large indoor space built entirely around jumping, bouncing, and active play.

The facility centers on a main trampoline arena connected to a series of specialty attractions, including twin dodgeball courts for organized games, a ninja warrior style obstacle course for guests looking for a bigger physical challenge, a foam pit for practicing flips and jumps safely, and a jousting beam where two competitors try to knock each other off a raised platform using padded jousting poles. The mix of attractions is designed to keep jumpers of a wide range of ages and energy levels engaged for a full session.

Jump sessions run in scheduled blocks, with new sessions beginning roughly every thirty minutes throughout the day. Reserving a session online ahead of time is recommended, though walk ins are welcome when space allows. Every jumper is required to wear grip socks, which are sold on site for a small fee and can be reused on future visits, and a signed waiver is required for every guest, with parents or legal guardians needing to sign on behalf of anyone under eighteen.

Beyond open jump sessions, UpSurge hosts birthday parties with dedicated party rooms and dining space, making it a popular choice for kids’ celebrations in Tuscaloosa. The park also welcomes larger organized groups such as church youth events and school field trips, and it runs a periodic Teen Night that allows guests thirteen and older to attend without a supervising adult, giving older kids a bit more independence for an evening out with friends.
Guest conduct is taken seriously at UpSurge, with a stated zero tolerance policy toward disrespectful behavior, reflecting the park’s effort to keep the environment safe and welcoming for the young families who make up much of its customer base. Adult supervision is required for all standard sessions outside of Teen Night, and jump times are non transferable and non refundable if a guest misses their scheduled block, so arriving a few minutes early is recommended.
Open seven days a week with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays, UpSurge Trampoline Park has become one of Tuscaloosa’s go to indoor options for burning off energy, especially during the hot Alabama summer months or on rainy weekend afternoons when outdoor plans are not an option.
Gift cards are available for guests who want to give a jump session or party package as a present, and the park periodically runs special themed days, such as toddler focused sessions with a gentler pace for the youngest jumpers. Because the same ownership group also operates Super Skate, families in Tuscaloosa can find complementary active indoor entertainment options under related local management, reinforcing UpSurge’s identity as a homegrown alternative to national trampoline park chains.
Whether the occasion is a birthday party, a school field trip, a church youth event, or simply an afternoon of open jumping, UpSurge Trampoline Park gives Tuscaloosa families a dedicated, locally owned space built entirely around active, energetic play, with enough variety across its dodgeball courts, ninja course, foam pit, and jousting beam to keep repeat visitors entertained session after session.
Parties booked at UpSurge typically include a set jump time paired with private table space, allowing families to move seamlessly from active play into cake and presents without needing to leave the building. Staff assist with the logistics of larger groups, from coordinating waiver signing at check in to managing session timing so that a party group can jump together rather than being split across different arena time slots. That attention to group logistics has made the park a reliable choice for parents planning a low stress celebration in Tuscaloosa.
The park’s location on McFarland Boulevard East puts it within easy reach of most Tuscaloosa neighborhoods, and its seven day a week schedule means there is almost always a session available regardless of when spare time opens up during the week. For a city with hot, humid summers and unpredictable weather much of the year, an indoor, locally owned option like UpSurge fills a clear need for active play that does not depend on the forecast.
