CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sky Zone, the originator of the trampoline park and today’s leader in indoor active entertainment, is excited to announce the upcoming opening of its newest Lincoln Park location in Chicago, IL. The state-of-the-art, 38,000-square-foot park at 1419 N. Kingsbury Street is the company’s 262nd location nationwide, its 10th in the Chicago area, and the first to showcase the company’s updated logo and brand identity.
The Lincoln Park neighborhood, known for its active, family-oriented lifestyle, is a perfect fit for this new, refreshed Sky Zone location. The park will add 70–80 new jobs to the local community and strengthen Sky Zone’s already significant presence in Chicago, offering young families in the heart of the city a convenient, year-round destination for fun. The park’s location within the Kingsbury Center will provide easy access to public transit and plenty of parking, making it a prime spot for Chicago’s young families.
Serving the Lincoln Park community, which is known for its active lifestyle and family-friendly atmosphere, this location will feature Sky Zone’s wide range of beloved attractions, including the Zip Line, iWall, Launch Slide, Freestyle Jump, Boulder Balls, Ultimate Dodgeball, Battle Beam, Warrior Course, and Race Slide – provide exciting, interactive experiences for all ages. Families with younger children will also find a dedicated Soft Play space where little ones can safely explore. The park will offer memberships for local families looking for unlimited fun, as well as birthday party packages and single-visit jump tickets.
Sky Zone’s Lincoln Park location is the first park to feature many of the brand’s exciting additions as it adopts a new logo and brand identity to better reflect the evolving needs of its growing audience of millennial parents, who now represent the core customer demographic. Originally designed for adults, teens, and tweens 20 years ago, Sky Zone has seen a shift toward a younger guest base, with families seeking an active, screen-free environment where kids 12 and under can play, grow, and engage. Informed by feedback from over 6,000 customers and competitive research, the new logo and brand identity will focus on modernizing Sky Zone’s look and feel to create a livelier, more dynamic atmosphere that appeals to today’s families while maintaining a fun, wholesome space for kids. In the next two years, Sky Zone will refresh all its parks nationwide as it continues to open new locations – including Frisco, TX this spring.
“We’re thrilled to bring Sky Zone’s upgraded experience to Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood,” said Shawn Hassel, CEO of Sky Zone. “This new location offers an energetic, modern space for families to play, stay active, and make lasting memories together. We’re proud to offer a screen-free alternative that gives kids the chance to develop physically and socially while having fun. Lincoln Park is a vibrant community, and with our strong presence already established in the greater Chicago area, this new location helps us bring the Sky Zone experience even closer to more families.”
Since its founding in 2004, Sky Zone has revolutionized indoor entertainment by offering a variety of engaging attractions that encourage physical activity and fun. From its roots as the originator of the trampoline park to its position today as the nation’s premier destination for family fun, Sky Zone has continued to evolve and grow. As the company works toward its goal of doubling its locations to 500 within the next two to three years, the new logo and brand identity reinforces Sky Zone’s ongoing commitment to providing the best active entertainment experience for families across the country.
To celebrate the grand opening, Sky Zone will give away 100,000 minutes of free jump time from 9AM to 5PM on opening day Saturday, February 15, 2025, along with exclusive giveaways from ICEE and Mini Melts.
