8 Moms You'll Definitely Run Into at the Indoor Bounce House This Summer

Indoor bounce houses are a ton of fun for kids, and they can also be sanity savors for moms, especially on a Summer rainy day or a superhot afternoon. They are air-conditioned and provide children with great exercise and plenty of fun — plus, they get to hang out with other kids without officially having to schedule a play date.

Over the years, I've visited my share of indoor bounce houses, and after many hours of observation, I've noticed eight main types of moms that frequent these establishments. From the energetic mom who bounces right along with her kids to the mom who scans the facility for a comfortable chair to sit in the moment she arrives, one thing all of these awesome women have in common is that they are there to give their kids a fun and memorable outing.
