- The jumpies Inflatable bounce houses โ the reason half of Marin’s kids drag their parents here.
- Photo spots Hay bales, wagons, string lights and the hand-painted Ian’s sign โ bring the costume.

- Friendly, hard-working staff They’ll help you pick โ and carry the big one to your car.
Jumpies & season passes
Kids bounce with a day pass, or grab the full-season pass and come back every day in October โ parents tell us it’s the best deal in Marin, and we don’t gouge on it. Day passes and the season pass are available at the gate, or call (415) 302-1142 for current pricing.
Local tip: coming before noon? Bring a towel and a change of clothes โ the jumpies can still be dewy in the morning.
Book a party or field trip at the patch
Private birthday parties and school field trips run all October โ weekends fill up fast.
