Do you or your kids love jumping? Head on over to Jump Street Asia for hours of non-stop jumping. The first of its kind in Malaysia, this indoor trampoline park is a popular choice for those looking to bounce up and down for fun. You can literally bounce off the walls here, but please pay attention to the guidelines for your safety.
Besides being one massive spot for jumping, you can also do other activities, but on a trampoline surface, of course. For example, thereâs trampoline dodgeball here â as if the game on its own isnât challenging (and fun) enough. While youâre there, take a flight on the zip-line because why not? But the Main Court is where you can jump to your heartâs content.
