If they can walk, they can jump.

That’s the answer from Get Air Savannah – the new indoor trampoline park that just opened on Ogeechee Road next to Planet Fitness in Savannah – when asked about age limits.

Get Air Savannah includes a kiddie court. Small Air is a fun corner of the Get Air Trampoline Park reserved for kids under 46 inches. Kids can slide or tumble down the vertical trampolines—or just bounce—around without having to watch out for the big kids.

The rest of Get Air Savannah includes: trampolines, ninja course, dodge ball, foam pit, slack line, slam ball, fidget ladder & more.

Yes, Get Air Savannah certainly will host children’s birthdays & work parties.
