For my sightseeing day, I had the privilege of being with all of my friends at Bounce Empire. Immediately when we walked in we were all both confused and delighted–Bounce Empire was not at all what we had expected. I had never even heard of a bounce-house park, so I just thought it was going to be a typical trampoline park! As we explored around, playing all the fun games and going around obstacle courses, slides, and more, we had the absolute best time! My favorite parts were when my friends pushed me around in a clear hamster ball, and when my best friend and I velcro-ed ourselves upside down to a wall! Even when I needed to sit and take a break, there were inflatable chairs and beanbags everywhere, and there was even a corner with a movie playing. The music and DJ station was so amazing when it started rising from the floor! The music choices were fantastic and they even played some Hebrew songs that made me feel like I was back at camp! The workers there were so kind and accommodating to my dietary restrictions, and overall I had the best time.
