Where Is Uptown Jungle
May 2020
The Jungle is a 1906 novel by the American journalist and novelist Upton Sinclair (1878–1968). The novel portrays the harsh conditions and exploited lives of immigrants in the United States in Chicago and similar industrialized cities. Welcome to the jungle! The ultimate birthday party, indoor playground venue for kids just opened at a new location in Henderson, NV.
Parent deal: playing is half the price for you. We always encourage the parents to join the fun with their kids at ½ price normal admission. If you choose not to play there is no admission fee, but a waiver still needs to be signed. Icy chilled water runs deep through quiet Jungles. This is where the sweetest wild punch fruit grows.Sweet Wild Fruity Chill.

Uptown Jungle does have a location in Mesa as well, so if you are thinking it is a familiar name, you are right! It was formerly known as “Urban Jungle” but is now “Uptown Jungle”. Now that you have all that information, let’s show you what they have and where they are.
Located at 76th Ave and Cactus Road in Peoria, Uptown Jungle in Peoria is easily accessible from Grande and the 101. We were able to get to their grand opening (just opened for public) and were prepared with waivers already filled out online. The waiver needs to be filled out for different locations, so it is not transferable. I really, highly suggest filling it out before you get inside the location. Kids get super excited when they see everything, so you will really save yourself frustration if you do it before hand. You can fill it out at their kiosks by the front desk, but it is easy to do either on a computer or phone. The staff members will look it up by phone number or by name. If you are like me and have multiple phone numbers, you can luckily look it up by name. Even non participating parents must sign a waiver.
There is a lot of parking space, but beware on busy days it will probably fill up!
After filling out the waiver, you will proceed to the desk to pay and get socks. You can bring your own grippy socks, or purchase them as well. There is also a small area to get drinks and snacks right behind the entry desk.
When you enter, to the right and left will also be seating and eventually some area to store shoes and other items.
Where Is Uptown Jungle
There were quite a few benches in the front, which is where I like to be. There is also a huge parent lounge to the back of Uptown Jungle, and it is near the bathrooms.
Uptown Jungle thought of parents too! Huge area for parents to hang out and even, gasp, do work! Wifi is available for free!
Bathrooms are right next to the parent lounge and are single room “stalls”.
At the front of Uptown Jungle Peoria will be the huge climber that is easily crawlable by adults and the “climbing walls” to your right.
I didn’t personally go through the tubes or down the slides, but they are fine for adults. The slide can be super fast and fun. The tower at the bottom right is a spiderweb that people need to crawl through to get to the second level. There are other ways of getting up there, but this is the closest access to the slide! The set up is very similar to Uptown Jungle in Mesa.
The second floor had lots of gymnastic feats (ninja course) to try to overcome. I could stand up on the second floor with just a teeny bit of bending (I’m 5′ 8″ on a good day). There were lots of tubes and slides throughout. This area may not be that great for the toddler set, so if you have one that wants to explore, you will probably want to go with them. It can be hard to find them if they get lost, and they do!
However, if you have a young toddler or preschooler, the Toddler area is just right for you-and it is gated so it at least will slow down the kiddos from exploring the big kid area!
There are lots of manipulatives, things to ride, a roller slide to slide down and a small trampoline as well. Dimples, almost 5, liked going in and out of the Toddler zone.
This Toddler area is about half the size of the one in Mesa, but it is still a good size. I actually like the size of this one a bit better because it was a little more manageable to keep an eye on little ones.
Two trampoline courts are behind the toddler area. Both courts are used for open jump or dodgeball tournaments.
The kids were bouncing like crazy all over these.
If you are looking for birthday party rooms, they also have three of them available. How it is shown is one big room that divides into three.
Cutely decorated rooms, of course.
Where Is Uptown Jungle Fun Park
There are four different walls to climb (other than my own at home! HA).
And the Ball Zone, which Dimples absolutely loves. He was vacuuming the balls for about 25 minutes!
There are also ball guns to shoot from the second floor, and a big ball dropper as well as air poppers as well. A slide comes into the ball area as well.
All three of my kids did the climbing and really loved it. We are raising some monkey children, let me tell you.
If you are wondering about how the pricing/time works at Uptown Jungle in Peoria-
- Sign up for a 60, 90 or 120 minute time slot. Prices go up as time increases, and there is a higher price on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays.
- Look on their Facebook Page for deals!
- Uptown Jungle in Mesa has toddler times-so I’m hoping that they will incorporate that and homeschool days in the future! I’ll keep you posted!
- Sign your waiver beforehand. It doesn’t give you any discount, but will save you frustration when you get to Uptown Jungle Peoria. Make sure you sign the one for Peoria if you are going to Peoria, and Mesa if you are going to Mesa!
We had an amazing time at Uptown Jungle in Peoria and even saw some friends. Our friends with older kids (teenagers 16 +) had a blast too!

Uptown Jungle is opening its newest location in Avondale! Joining their locations in Peoria, Mesa, and Chandler you’ll be excited to find this huge indoor play area has tons of fun for tots through teens!
Located at 1725 N Dysart Rd, Avondale, AZ , Uptown Jungle in Avondale is in the same plaza as Joann Fabrics and Kohls (2019). So, perfect for getting some shopping done and getting the energy out too!
Entry
The entry area of Uptown Jungle has kiosks for signing the waivers, but I always advise parents to sign up ahead of time. There is nothing like filling out a waiver with three (or more) jumpy kids who want to get going. Each Uptown Jungle needs their own waivers signed, so make sure you sign up for the Avondale location.
Also, it is a socks only place! Jump socks are an additional charge, but you can bring back your Uptown Jungle socks for the next time you go and can bring them back from other locations.
Uptown Tot
The Uptown Tot area is nicely marked and is in front of Uptown Jungle. The two story tot area is accessible to parents who want to climb along with their kids.
Mini trampolines, a racer that goes around, a spinner that goes around and jumpy zebras are just some of the fun for the Uptown Tot area! I had to duck down to get in, but it was perfect for the 5 and under crowd. It was just sad that I don’t have a 5 and under child anymore, but I snuck in anyhow for pictures.
The 5 and under crowd will LOVE everything that there is to do in this area!
The tot friendly walkway and ropes, donuts and half balls!
For the bigger kids
But, if you don’t have a tot like me (anymore!), you might be interested in the big kid stuff!

Rock Walls
Where Is Uptown Jungle Fun Park
The Climbing walls and net walls. And yes, I even climbed it! I am not that graceful coming down.
The huge climber at Uptown Jungle in Avondale is full of nets, tunnels, and lots of great features for kids of all ages to go through and around. And, even a roller slide!
A huge blue slide takes you from the very top to the bottom and the whole climber is entered around balls blowing, being shot and even being vacuumed!
My kids were seriously arguing over the ball vacuum. If only they would fight over the real vacuum at home.
I called this the “kid washer”. I don’t know how my kids didn’t feel any pain doing this. The kids were having so much fun!
This slide was super cool! The kids could play little racing games as they went down it. I really enjoyed watching the kids go up the stairs and down the slide over and over again!
Also was the “elastic seat belt tower of doom”. The tower also had a slide that went along with it.
Not pictured was a huge ball pit!
Ninja Course at Uptown Jungle Avondale
Of course, they have to do try the Ninja Course at Uptown Jungle! The Zipline is always a huge hit for my kids at any location!
Some of the other features of the Ninja course were the side ways ropes, monkey bars the moving “cheese” and the balls in ropes. I just name them my own things! There might be actual names for them, but I’m not sure!
Also available are rooms perfect for parties!
Uptown Jungle in Avondale is a welcome indoor arena for “wearing kids out” in the west valley. Make sure you follow them on Facebook to see discounts and deals they may offer.
