Jump Inc by AirHop Adventure & Trampoline Park Bicester

Jump Inc isn't what you'd expect from a nature reserve tag - it's a trampoline park, pure and simple, housed in Bicester with enough bouncy surfaces to keep kids entertained for a solid couple of hours. The setup is straightforward: you pay to jump, and that's exactly what happens. Foam pits, wall jumps, dodgeball courts on trampolines - the usual trampoline park fare, done reasonably well.

Families with restless children aged 5 to early teens will get the most mileage here. Toddlers might find the height daunting, and anyone over sixteen probably won't care much. The real appeal is burning off energy on a rainy afternoon when the Oxfordshire countryside isn't cooperating. It's not a full day out - more of a two-hour interlude - so you'd want to pair it with something else nearby.

If you're based at Glebe Leisure Touring Caravan Park or Weston Caravan and Campsite, both just a few miles away, Jump Inc makes a decent wet-weather backup plan. Barton Hill Farm is slightly further at 5.8 miles, but still within easy reach for an afternoon session. Admission and opening hours aren't confirmed online, so ring ahead before loading the car - nothing worse than driving ten minutes only to find it's closed for a private party.

Worth the trip? Only if you've got young kids and poor weather forecast. Otherwise, the Oxfordshire walks and villages nearby offer better value for a proper holiday.
