How Much Does Defy Cost Per Person?

The basic cost of a standard 60-minute open jump session at Defy locations across the country ranges from $15 to $30 per person depending on time, day, and location. Most parks charge around $20 per person as a baseline price for one-hour general admission and jumping access during normal hours.

Longer session packages are available, usually at a discounted hourly rate when you buy multiple hours up front. For example, a 2-hour bounce pass might cost $35 total versus paying $40 for two separate single hours.

Booking longer sessions can offer more value, especially if you plan to jump for more than an hour.

Special Activity and Attraction Fees

In addition to open jump sessions, most Defy parks offer unique special activity areas and attractions for an extra fee, typically $5 – $15 per person per activity.

Popular add-ons include:

• Foam Zone: Jump into pits and mountains of foam cubes ($5 – $10)
• Warrior/Ninja Course: Obstacle and battle elements ($10 – $15)
• Sky Joust: Bungee basketball and arena games ($5 – $10)
• Battle Beams: Balance beam battles with foam swords ($5)
• Rock Climbing: Climb and jump from platforms ($5 – $10)
• Arcade: Video and redemption games ($5-$20 in gameplay costs)

Budget an additional $10 – $20 per person if you plan to take advantage of these special activities beyond basic open jump time.

Required Safety Gear and Equipment

Beyond standard admission fees, most Defy locations require additional purchases for safety gear and equipment:

• Grip socks are mandatory and can be rented for $2 – $5 per pair. Buying your own socks for repeat visits can save money long-term.
• A few locations require jump wristbands for entry, around $2 each.
• Some parks offer locker rentals to store belongings for $5 – $10.

While small per item, these costs add up, especially for large families. Factor gear expenses into your budget. Members can get free grip sock rentals with no equipment fees.

Price Variations by Location and Peak vs Off-Peak

Defy ticket prices do vary somewhat based on location factors and time/day you visit:

Location Differences

Defy parks located in major urban areas like Chicago, San Francisco, or Los Angeles generally charge $5 – $10 more per hour than parks in smaller suburban or rural locations. Overhead costs are higher in big cities.

Peak vs Off-Peak Rates

Visiting Defy during peak hours on weekends, holidays or evenings will mean paying full standard pricing. However sessions booked during off-peak times like Tuesday mornings or weekday afternoons provide 20-30% discounts automatically.

For example, a 2-hour pass at the Defy near LA on a Friday night could be $50 per person whereas the same session in the Inland Empire suburb on a weekday morning would be just $35 per person.

Check each location’s online price calendar to identify the lowest-cost time slots before booking.
