Pump It Up is a bounce house type of place in Greenville, South Carolina, but I actually remember my niece Izzy having a birthday party at the Spartanburg location back in 2020. I had never been to the Greenville one until recently, when my son Alex’s preschool friend Faith had her birthday party there.

The place is basically a gold mine of fun for kids. They have large inflatable slides, a bounce house, an obstacle course, and a few other activities, including a rock wall for older children.

Alex and Lily had an amazing time at the first party. Surprisingly, we ended up going to the exact same place again just two weeks later for the birthday party of Alex’s friend John Bishop. His parents limited how many people could attend, so it was just one parent and one child per family.

That day it was just me and Alex, and he really enjoyed it, especially since he already knew what to expect from the place. This time, two of his good friends, Trey and Thomas, showed up, so they had an even better time playing together.
