Are Trampoline Parks Open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?
Most trampoline parks are closed on Christmas Day and open shorter hours on Christmas Eve. Here's how to check your park's posted holiday hours.
It's fall, and the Halloween costumes aren't even bought yet, but winter break is already on the family calendar. You can picture it: the kids are out of school, the cousins are visiting, and everyone needs to burn off some energy. A trampoline park sounds perfect. Here's the short version. On Christmas Day, trampoline parks are almost always closed. On Christmas Eve, most are open with shorter hours, though some close that day too. Below are the hours real parks have posted, plus how to check yours.
The short answer
In 2026, Christmas Eve is a Thursday (December 24) and Christmas Day is a Friday (December 25). That makes a four-day stretch from Thursday through Sunday, so plenty of families will be looking for something to do.
The parks that post their holiday hours tend to follow the same pattern:
- Christmas Day (Dec 25): Closed. This is the most consistent rule in the industry, but it's still a pattern and not a guarantee.
- Christmas Eve (Dec 24): Usually open with shortened hours, often closing in the late afternoon so staff can get home. A few parks close for the whole day.
- December 26: Back open, usually on full or extended hours, because the day after Christmas is a big jump day.
One thing matters more than any pattern: every park sets its own hours. Two locations of the same chain in neighboring towns can post different Christmas Eve schedules. If you plan your outing around the general rule without checking your own park, you could end up in a dark parking lot with kids in grip socks.
What real parks have posted
These are real posted schedules. Each one is a single location in a single year, not a chain-wide policy.
- Get Air, High Point, North Carolina (2026): This park has already posted its Christmas hours. It lists Thursday, December 24, 2026 as closed from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, so it's open until 5 PM on Christmas Eve. Friday, December 25, 2026 is closed all day. That's the textbook pattern of a short Christmas Eve and no Christmas Day.
- Altitude Trampoline Park, Oswego, Illinois (2025): Open 10 AM to 4 PM on Christmas Eve 2025. That's a six-hour day that wraps up well before dinner.
- Sky Zone, Montgomery, Alabama (2025): This park went the other way and closed on both December 24 and December 25, 2025. It was open 9 AM to 8 PM on December 22 and 23, then reopened on December 26 with long hours, 9 AM to 10 PM. It also opened late, at noon, on New Year's Day 2026.
- Ultimate Air, San Angelo, Texas (2019): An older example that shows how long the pattern has held. It was open noon to 5 PM on Christmas Eve 2019 and closed on Christmas Day.
Three of these four parks opened for part of Christmas Eve, and all four closed on Christmas Day. Sky Zone Montgomery shows why it's worth checking: a family that assumed "Christmas Eve means short hours" would have found that park closed.
Why hours differ from park to park
If the big brands all had one holiday policy, this would be easy. They don't, because of how the business works. Most large trampoline park chains are franchised or locally operated. The name on the sign is national, but the owner deciding the Christmas Eve schedule is local. That owner is weighing things like staffing, local demand, and their own family's holiday.
You can see this on the chains' own websites. Sky Zone's Greenfield, Wisconsin page, for example, doesn't list holiday hours at all. It tells visitors to call the park directly at (414) 401-7001. For holiday questions, the location is the real source.
School calendars matter too. Winter break starts and ends on different dates depending on the district, and parks often add daytime hours on weekdays when local schools are out. A park near a district that lets out early might run extended "holiday break" hours all week but still shorten Christmas Eve and close Christmas Day.
Christmas week deals and crowds
Christmas week can come with special offers. On Christmas Eve 2025, Altitude Trampoline Park in Oswego, Illinois offered two jumpers for the price of one all day during its 10 AM to 4 PM hours. That's a good deal for a family with several kids or visiting cousins. Promotions like this are set by each location and change from year to year, so don't expect the same offer at your park. It's still worth looking at the location's website or social pages before you go.
Expect crowds. When school is out, the days around Christmas, especially December 26 and the weekdays after it, are some of the busiest of the year at jump parks. If you're planning a group outing or a Christmas-week birthday party, book online ahead of time. Party rooms and popular time slots fill up first, and a booked time beats waiting in line.
How to check your park's hours
Here's a simple checklist for finding out what your park is actually doing:
- Find the location's own page, not the chain's homepage. Look for a "holiday hours" page or a note on the park's hours page. Sky Zone Montgomery, for example, posts a dedicated holiday-hours page on its location site.
- Check the Google listing. Many parks add special holiday hours to their Google Business profile. Look for the date-specific hours, not just the regular weekly schedule.
- Check social media. Local parks often announce holiday schedules and deals on Facebook or Instagram first.
- Call. If anything looks unclear, a quick call settles it. For holiday questions, some chain websites send you straight to the local number anyway.
Our tip: Holiday schedules are often posted fairly late. Check once after Thanksgiving (November 26 this year) and again the week of Christmas, in case anything changed. Skip third-party "is it open?" guide sites. They often guess at chain-wide rules that individual parks don't follow.
If Christmas Day is family time at home anyway, plan to jump on December 26. That's when parks reliably reopen, often with longer hours to handle the winter-break rush.
