Justina Rapone and her husband Pasquale have been working on their new location at 85 Main Street since December 2023, after outgrowing their original location on Harvester Avenue.

Located in Downtown Batavia, the House of Bounce is 12,000 square feet of fun for kids and families of all ages. Its Walk in Welcome anytime, no need for reservations.

“We ran out of space for growth there (on Harvester Avenue) and we felt like moving to the downtown area, it’s kind of the place to be,” says Justina Rapone.

“We’re really excited to be able to be a part of all of the downtown activities like Christmas in the City, Halloween, the trick or treating, the businesses, the Wine Walk, all of the things that downtown has to offer, plus the traffic is wonderful through here and it’s a great place to be seen in Batavia.”

Rapone says creating the space took a lot of arranging and making sure safety items were taken care of.

“We really worked with what we had; it was previously the gym. The tanning rooms are now our Selfie Rooms. We added a lot of fun stuff downstairs, there’s actual football turf that we got from a real football field, we have that in the Laser Tag and Glow Golf area. The Splatter Room was a locker room and we’re using the shower and the steam shower area for our spin art machine, so we kind of used every square foot in here that we could get.”

Younger kids (under 10) have an area on the first floor and older kids have space downstairs.

“Downstairs is for everybody too, the younger kid stuff is to the side and to the front. The Bumper Cars adults can ride, and the Splatter room is for everyone.”

Coming soon, there will be a food and drink area, for now Cinquinos is providing food and drinks.

“We’re excited to bring in more for the older kids, that was really the only thing we were lacking when we started at the Harvester (2 years ago). Moving forward we’re excited to be able to have the whole family here having fun. We’ve been having adults come in to do Laser Tag, it’s been great, it’s been fun.”

Hours are Tuesday and Thursday-10am-5pm, Fridays-12-8pm, Saturday-10am-8pm, and Sunday is 10am-2pm. They are closed on Mondays and Wednesdays.
