How to Add Game Machines to a Trampoline Park for Extra Revenue

Trampoline parks are excellent for active play, group activities, birthday parties, and family entertainment. However, many operators face the same challenge: once visitors finish their jumping session, they may leave quickly unless there are extra activities available. This is why adding game machines for trampoline park projects can be a practical way to increase revenue and improve the overall guest experience.

Game machines can turn waiting areas, entrance zones, party room corners, parent seating areas, and exit points into extra income spaces. With the right mix of claw machines, kiddie rides, redemption games, compact arcade cabinets, and sports machines, trampoline parks can create more reasons for families to stay longer and spend more.

If you are planning to upgrade a trampoline park or build a mixed entertainment venue, you can first explore EPARK’s amusement equipment catalog to compare game machines, arcade machines, kiddie rides, indoor playground equipment, and FEC solutions.

Why Trampoline Parks Should Add Game Machines

A trampoline park mainly attracts visitors through physical activity. Guests come to jump, exercise, celebrate birthdays, and join group activities. But not every visitor wants to jump all the time. Parents may wait. Younger siblings may need safer activities. Older children may want arcade-style entertainment after jumping.

Adding game machines can help operators:

• Increase revenue beyond admission tickets
• Extend visitor dwell time
• Improve parent waiting experience
• Attract younger siblings and non-jumpers
• Add value to birthday party packages
• Create more activities during peak hours
• Improve rainy-day and holiday revenue
• Build a more complete FEC-style venue

For operators, game machines for trampoline park spaces are not only decoration. They are flexible revenue tools that can support the full business model.

Best Game Machines for Trampoline Parks

The best machines should match the energy level, age groups, and layout of the trampoline park. Equipment should be compact, durable, easy to operate, and suitable for families.

Machine Type	Best Location	Main Value
Claw Machines	Entrance, exit, waiting area	Prize attraction and repeat play
Kiddie Rides	Family zone, younger kids area	Entertainment for younger children
Redemption Games	Party rooms, prize counter area	Ticket-based repeat spending
Basketball Machines	Active play zone, arcade corner	Matches trampoline park energy
Racing Games	Teen zone, larger game room	Competition and longer play
Compact Arcade Cabinets	Waiting area, café corner	Adds variety in limited space
Parent-Child Games	Family lounge, kids corner	Shared family interaction

For many trampoline parks, a good starter combination is:

2–4 claw machines + 1–2 kiddie rides + 1 basketball or redemption game

Larger venues can add racing machines, ticket games, air hockey, sports games, and a visible prize counter.

Where to Place Game Machines in a Trampoline Park

Placement is very important. The right machine in the wrong location may not generate strong income. A good layout should follow customer flow and avoid blocking active play areas.

1. Entrance Zone

Game machines near the entrance can attract attention before visitors buy tickets or enter the trampoline area.

Recommended machines:

• Claw machines
• Prize machines
• Kiddie rides
• Compact arcade cabinets

This area works well because families notice the machines immediately.

2. Parent Waiting Area

Parents often spend time watching children jump. Compact game machines near seating areas can turn waiting time into extra revenue.

Recommended machines:

• Mini claw machines
• Parent-child games
• Low-noise arcade machines
• Kiddie rides

Machines in this area should not be too loud or disruptive.

3. Party Room Area

Birthday parties are one of the most important revenue sources for trampoline parks. Game machines can make party packages more attractive.

Recommended machines:

• Redemption games
• Claw machines
• Token-based arcade machines
• Small sports machines

Operators can bundle game credits into birthday packages to increase package value.

4. Trampoline Exit Zone

After jumping, children are still excited and may want to continue playing. This makes the exit area a strong revenue point.

Recommended machines:

• Claw machines
• Basketball machines
• Small redemption games
• Kiddie rides for younger siblings

If you already have a floor plan, you can contact EPARK to discuss trampoline park game machine layout and equipment matching.

How Game Machines Create Extra Revenue

Game machines can support several revenue channels inside a trampoline park.

Revenue Channel	How It Works
Pay-Per-Play	Guests pay for each machine use
Birthday Add-Ons	Game credits are included in party packages
Waiting Area Revenue	Parents and siblings play while others jump
Prize Motivation	Claw and redemption machines encourage repeat play
Membership Benefits	Members receive bonus game credits
Event Revenue	Machines support weekend and holiday promotions

For example, a family may buy trampoline tickets first, then children play claw machines after jumping, then parents purchase extra game credits for a birthday package. This increases revenue from the same visit.

Machine Mix by Trampoline Park Size

Different venues need different equipment combinations.

Park Type	Recommended Machine Mix	Best For
Small Trampoline Park	2 claw machines + 1 kiddie ride	Limited space and low investment
Medium Trampoline Park	Claw machines + basketball + redemption games	Family traffic and birthday parties
Large Trampoline Park	Arcade zone + prize counter + racing games	Full FEC-style revenue
Trampoline + Kids Play Center	Kiddie rides + claw machines + compact games	Younger family visitors
Mall-Based Trampoline Park	Entrance machines + prize machines	Attracting passing families

A reliable supplier should recommend machines based on floor area, target age group, visitor flow, and budget.

Safety and Layout Considerations

Because trampoline parks are active play environments, safety and spacing are important when adding arcade machines.

Operators should check:

• Machines do not block trampoline entrances or exits
• Cables are safely managed
• Machines are stable and properly positioned
• Walkways stay clear
• Parent visibility is maintained
• High-energy machines are separated from toddler zones
• Staff can supervise machines easily
• Maintenance access is reserved
• Noise level does not disturb dining or waiting areas
• Emergency paths remain open

Game machines should support the trampoline park experience, not create crowding or safety risks.

Payment System Options

Different trampoline parks need different payment models.

Payment System	Suitable For
Coin or Token	Small parks and simple operation
Recharge Card	Medium and large trampoline parks
QR Payment	Modern shopping mall venues
Staff-Controlled Play	Kids clubs or supervised areas
Party Game Credits	Birthday rooms and group events

Recharge cards are useful for larger parks because they can connect trampoline tickets, memberships, and game credits into one customer system. Smaller venues may prefer coin or token operation for simplicity.

How to Use Game Machines in Birthday Packages

Birthday parties are a major opportunity for trampoline parks. Game machines can make packages feel more complete.

Operators can offer:

• Party room + trampoline time + game credits
• Birthday package with claw machine tokens
• Redemption ticket bundle
• Prize counter gift upgrade
• Group competition with basketball machines
• Weekend family package with arcade credits

These add-ons help increase package value without changing the core trampoline area.
