Urban Air Park offers zipline, go-karts, climbing, laser tag, trampolines in Glenview
Kids of all ages have a new year-round place to jump, climb, run, navigate and pitch after Urban Air Adventure Park opened on Golf Road in Glenview last week. Abuzz with colorful lighting and the sounds of kids playing, the 60,000-square-foot indoor park offers trampolines on the floor and walls, dodgeball courts, a large go-kart course, a zipline, laser tag and tube playgrounds with multi-level climbing ropes and twisting tubes. Other attractions include climbing walls, a balance beam where kids can spar with foam swords above a base of cushy blocks, a 'Leap of Faith' feature that lets kids jump from a platform, and the Stairway to Heaven, a feature in which employees strap kids into a harness and let them climb a series of ascending posts, then 'fly' off the tallest one. A warrior course lets kids develop their agility, speed and strength, and in case players fall, it's set above a sea of transparent cushy balls that look like bubbles. Charlie Oraham, a co-owner along with Nino Hermes, said he became interested in opening an Urban Air franchise here because he wanted to be able to build a business that would allow his kids to work with him, like his dad did. Oraham, who lives in Glenview, said he plans to be on site almost every day. 'My whole family works here,' he said. Urban Air, at 2614 Golf Rd. in Glenview, across the street from Morton Grove, is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. through 9 p.m. Tickets range from $23.99 to $27.99, and the site does not allow visitors to wear personal socks, instead requiring their own socks for $3.99, according to its website. For those who plan to visit often, the park offers membership deals, and there are occasional promotions. The location also offers a concession stand and birthday parties. Urban Air has locations in Naperville, St. Charles and North Riverside, with locations planned for Vernon Hills and Chicago's Lincoln Park.
