SAFETY IS OUR #1 PRIORITY!
Jumping on a trampoline is an inherently dangerous activity and can be categorized as an action or extreme sport. It is important for participants to follow set rules, safety guidelines and to jump within their own ability. At Launch Trampoline Park we want all our jumpers to leave our building happy and with exciting stories to share with their friends. Because of this, we have gone to great lengths to reduce or eliminate some of the hazards associated with trampolines and are continually working to ensure a safe environment through superior structure, staff training, research, education and planning. Staff members perform daily and weekly equipment and maintenance checks to ensure all equipment is functioning properly. Staffers also enforce strict adherence to our rules and reserve the right to remove guests from further jumping in our facility if they are acting in a way that may endanger themselves or others.

IMPORTANT: A WAIVER IS REQUIRED FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS AND SPECTATORS TO ACCESS OUR PARK. PLEASE SEE OUR WAIVER PAGE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
We strongly encourage that you fill out the Waiver Form online. Remember, the waiver is good for one year making it more convenient on your next visit.

WELCOME TO AROOGA’S!

There’s never been a restaurant quite like Arooga’s before. How do we know? Spies. That, and because we’re not just some average, run-of-the-mill, sports bar. Nope. We’re a slightly above average grille house and sports bar. That’s right. Our housemade food is prepared by chefs instead of factory workers – it’s better. The fresh baked bread, wings sauces, salad dressings, the housemade soups. All better. The beer is colder. The TVs, TV-er. You can see every game from every seat in the restaurant. And we mean every game, because we have every sports package available all 365 days of the year on nearly 1000 flat screen tv’s between all of our locations. We’ve got free wi-fi, Buzztime trivia and NTN Texas Hold ’em. We’ve got over 80 menu items under $8.99. And several other items priced over $8.99 for the rich folks. So if you’re looking for great food prepared and served by above-average people that prepare and serve great food, you’ll find it at Arooga’s. If you’re looking for fun, you’ll find that, too. If you’re looking for your boyfriend and/or girlfriend, we haven’t seen him and/or her. So there you go, the proof’s in the pudding here at Arooga’s.

AROOGA’S MISSION

Arooga’s promises to offer our customers as well as our employees the greatest experience to keep them wanting more.

AROOGA’S BLIZZARD BAR SYSTEM

Arooga’s is now serving the coldest beer in town and on the East Coast! Our Blizzard Beer System works to keepall 20 of our drafts at a chilly 29 degrees in all of our restaurants. Keep an eye on the half-keg temperature display to see the exact temperature your beer is being served at and you will know you are getting a cold, refreshing brew.

Keeping the temperature of our beers below freezing not only makes the beer more refreshing and satisfying, but it also prevents foam and ensures that we are serving you the highest quality beer possible. Cheers!
