A playground can be the site of a first birthday party, a first transatlantic paper-airplane flight, and a first doctoral dissertation on the geothermal impact of teeter-totters. Make a scientific breakthrough while breathlessly jumping with today's Groupon: for $6, you get one open bounce session at BounceU (a $12.95 value). Use this Groupon for vertical enjoyment at the Farmingdale location. Sprightly bouncers must wear socks in order to play. Adults and non-walking infants enter for free if accompanied by a paying child.

BounceU transports kids to an inflatable, climate-controlled playground, where they can bounce from side to side in a safe, secure environment. Your pass is valid towards any two-hour open bounce session (a $12.95 value per child). The open bounce schedule varies depending on day of the week and age; open bounces for ages 6 and under are offered Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 10:00 a.m. to noon, ages 12 and under are welcome Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00–6:00 p.m., and family bounces occur on Wednesday nights from 5:00–7:00 p.m. Kids can imagine they're synchronized leapers in Michael Flatley's Riverbounce as they carom around the inflatable stadium, expending energy with every leap. Adults are welcome to act like eight-year-olds and join the vivacious youngsters in the playground, where they can duel with the foam-shooting equipment or mount the climbing structures.

The attentive BounceU staff will monitor the rebounding playground at all times, ensuring that the facilities are safe and clean. On family bounce night, parents can order food in advance (not included in this Groupon) so that the kids can spend dinner imagining they're Sir Lancelot and his steed invading the dominion of trampolines.

Must fill out a waiver to bounce. If under 18, a parent or guardian must sign waiver.

• The staff was a delight to work with, it's always great when the management and staff are accomodating [sic] and helpful. The food and fun ( the bounce attractions were state of the art) was just perfect for a bunch of seven year old boys and girls. We can't wait to go back! – denise p., Insider Pages
