Yesterday the kids and I headed over to Uptown Jungle in Santee. If you haven’t been there in a while (or ever) they’ve got a lot of exciting stuff going on right now!
For those not in the know, Uptown Jungle is an indoor playground with a giant trampoline, super slides, and 2-story indoor Mega Play Structure, Obstacle Course, and climbing walls! So regardless of the summer heat outside, kids can run and play.
The Santee location is going to be getting a makeover soon. The toddler area will be getting a wall-sized Light Brite board (which sounds super cool to me), the Obstacle Course is getting a cool ninja makeover, and the parent’s lounge will be reconfigured!
One of the best parts of Uptown Jungle is that the staff is really great with kids and they try to make sure everyone has an awesome time. The staff helps the kids safely get into the climbing wall harnesses and cheers them on as they climb. The trampoline area switches from little kids to big kids frequently, so everyone gets a turn to play safely.
One thing that really impresses me is that Uptown Jungle has Fundraising opportunities!

Forget selling candy bars, candles, T-shirts, etc. Host a fundraising event at Uptown Jungle and earn 35% of the group’s admission!
And of course, there are opportunities for Birthday parties or team parties!
Uptown Jungle has a Customer Royalty Program! When you download the app, you receive an offer for 1 hour of free play added to your paid admission! Find it wherever you download apps.

Talk Back: How do your kids get their wiggles out in the summer?
Thanks so much to Ricky and his staff at the Santee Uptown Jungle for hosting the kids and me yesterday! We had a fun time, and they were exhausted after 90-minutes of running, jumping, climbing, and sliding!


We love Uptown Jungle and its a great spot to let out the wiggles. Our favorite summer wiggle activity is hitting a splash pad playground. We love Civita, Santee Lakes and Hilton Head.

Does using me as a human jungle gym count?
We have a membership at Funbelievable. It’s pretty much the only way I can take him out to get the wiggles out, right now.

Uptown jungle is one of my kids’ favorite places to go! We spend a lot of time outdoors hiking, exploring, going to fiesta island, parks, and more!

We haven’t been to Uptown Jungle for a couple years, we would love to go back to visit. Thank you for the info about fundraising, I think this would be a super fun fundraiser event! During the summer, if it’s hot during the day, we typically stay home in the air conditioning and then we go out adventuring in the evening. We like to go to the waterfront park, concerts and movies in the parks, Civita and bbq/bonfire at the beach or bay.
