We’re always looking for great options for playdates to meet with friends. The children like to run around, and although they’re more independent, we still want them to be safe. In Orange County, there are so many venues to choose from, and we are blessed with beautiful weather year-round. Playdates usually run about two hours so we don’t feel guilty being indoors. Most recently we were at Scooter’s Jungle, an indoor play arena in Aliso Viejo, for their first annual Halloween Bounce Party. It was pretty fun. It was on a school night but it was in the evening which gave us time to do homework beforehand, play for a few hours, ate pizza for dinner on-site (available in Aliso Viejo), and made it back for bedtime.
Halloween Bounce Party
Staff members were in costumes and hosted a character hunt for treats. There were several bounce houses, inflatable slides, obstacle course, sport court, two ziplines, a toddler area, toys for crawlers, an air hockey table, and party tables. They sold pizza by the slice or whole. For treats, they offered both candy (grab as many as you want) and teal pumpkin options which are non-food items.

Earn 40% for Fundraising!
Does your organization need a financial boost? They will provide fundraising flyer, a banner to market the event, wristbands for pre-sale and at door tickets, and a pre-sale log sheet. Contact Scooter’s Jungle Aliso Viejo at (949) 349-9090 for more details.
HOW IT WORKS: Step (1): Scooter’s Jungle creates the Fundraising Flyer for you to duplicate and distribute. Your organization pre-sells tickets for children (suggested $10/child and $5/adult). Step (2): Your organization sells tickets at the door on the day of the event. Ticket sales will allow you to earn 40% of the proceeds. Step (3): Scooter’s Jungle will give you special pricing on pizza. You then sell pizza at the event (10 slices, $2.50 each). You can also manage sales for snacks and drinks provided by your organization for 100% of the profits.
OPTIONAL: If your group has 125 kids and 50 adults paid entries, and 75 of those guests buy pizza, the group could earn over $700. Plus your school can sell baked goods, dry snacks, and drinks at the event. Provide them and keep 100% of the sales.
NOTE: Each organization will need to provide 2-6 volunteers for the night of the event to check-in pre-sold ticketed guests, collect funds for “at-door purchases”, sell pizza, and clean up food area. Scooter’s Jungle will handle all waivers, safety instruction and supervise the play arenas.
