The Short Version: Looking for adventure? Flip Out can open couples up to a world of exploration with its adult-friendly indoor adventure parks. The franchise has 25 locations in the UK, and the team plans to open 20 more in the next two years. Whether you’re swinging from monkey bars or diving into a foam pit, you’re bound to have a good time at a Flip Out arena, especially if you grab someone special by the hand and bring them along with you.

The same old date routine can become boring and repetitive, so it helps to mix things up at a more unconventional and exciting date venue — like a Flip Out indoor adventure park.

Flip Out runs 25 adventure parks in the UK

Flip Out invites UK couples to get their hearts pumping and adrenaline going in adventure parks spread across the country.

Flip Out is full of trampolines, obstacle courses, and entertainment that can bring out the child in any adult. All it takes is a game of laser tag or a lap in a Go Kart to bring out those joyful and nostalgic feelings.

The idea for the Flip Out franchise started with a frustrated adult at a kid’s birthday party. Brent Grundy was watching children run around having fun while their parents sat bored on the sidelines, and he wanted to create a joyful space that would inspire adults to join the fun.

The first Flip Out location opened in 2013, and it quickly grew into an international sensation. Flip Out currently has 25 locations in the UK with plans to open 20 more parks in the coming years.

Flip Out UK Director Matthew Melling said the indoor adventure park has taken off across the country because it offers a variety of fun activities that cater to people of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels.

“We are driven to provide an exciting, fun, and active experience to the whole of the UK and beyond,” Matthew said. “Flip Out was created to bring fun to the masses!”

Jump Into an Exceptional Dating Experience

Every Flip Out location is a little different and can offer a range of dateworthy spaces and activities. The Flip Out in Manchester has a Dodgeball Court where competitive couples can play around. The Glasgow Flip Out has a sports bar where more laid-back couples can relax with a drink. And the Aintree location has a 65-foot Donut Slide for couples looking for a thrill.

Each indoor adventure park comes equipped with fun spaces to get people’s hearts racing and minds buzzing. You can test your skills on a ninja obstacle course, or you can practice your dunks on a trampoline basketball court. You can take a trampoline class to learn from the experts, or you can dive into a free-bounce zone to figure it out for yourself.

Flip Out is a dynamic date venue with bounce areas, obstacle courses, arcades, and more.

Most Flip Out locations serve hot diner food, including burgers and fries, to keep everyone energized throughout their experience.

People of all ages are welcome at Flip Out, but the majority of visitors are on the young side, typically between 5 and 15 years old. However, many Flip Out locations offer adults-only hours or days to elevate its playtime atmosphere and invite 20-somethings, 30-somethings, and even mature folks to join the party.

Flip Out is the perfect date spot for parkour enthusiasts, rock climbers, athletes, and other fit individuals who want to test their limits. You don’t need any experience to play around on the trampolines, inflatables, foam pits, and balance beams.

Couples looking for date ideas should check the Flip Out calendar to see if any upcoming events catch their eye. Some locations offer pole fitness classes, after-dark hours, quiet bounce sessions, yoga, body training, pizza parties, and other themed events on a regular basis, and it’s pretty common to see the same faces show up again and again.

As Flip Out has gained momentum in the UK’s social scene, the team has raced to up its game and offer more exciting venues and engaging playgrounds to keep people coming back for more.

“We’ve been working really hard sourcing new equipment, and we’ve got some really cool stuff coming,” Matthew told us. “We are having a real focus on adding attractions that appeal to adults just as much as children.”

A Fun-Loving Team Helps People Have a Ball

Just stepping into the Flip Out arena can instantly raise a person’s spirits. The boisterous atmosphere, engaging activities, and friendly staff members take things to the next level. The Flip Out team is passionate about trampolines, obstacle courses, and all-around fun, and team members give out high-fives and smiles all day long to get everyone in a playful and joyful mood.

“Our team is everything to us,” Matthew said. “We can’t deliver exceptional guest experience without them. Flip Out is all about having fun, so we try to promote a culture that encourages that.”

Flip Out raises the bar when it comes to exciting date nights in the UK.

Over the years, Flip Out has become a legendary date spot in the UK, and the team is always glad to hear feedback from couples who’ve had a fun, romantic time here.

Matthew was once on a first date when the conversation turned to favorite date locations. His date, not knowing what Matthew did for living, told him all about an amazing date she went on at Flip Out Chester. She said it was her favorite date spot and suggested they go there sometime.

With 25 locations and counting, Flip Out is a hopping hangout that’s beloved among friends, family members, and dates, and many people choose to celebrate special occasions here.

Recently, a local woman named Jane asked Flip Out Doncaster to host her daughter’s birthday party, and she said everyone had a grand time jumping around the course. “Would 100% recommend it,” Jane said in a Facebook review. “My hubby and I are going to go back soon…without kids.”

Whether you want to arrange a bachelor party or a birthday celebration, the Flip Out team can help create a memorable experience for everyone involved. You can even plan a movie night and sleepover at some Flip Out locations.

“I can’t praise the establishment enough,” a TripAdvisor reviewer said about Flip Out Chester. “It’s the first time I have left a party with no stress…I highly recommend this as a party venue.”

In addition to its private events, Flip Out entertains and excites locals by throwing themed public events, including after-dark parties, and it’s always worth stopping by on a date night to see what’s going on and get in the middle of the action.

Flip Out: Where Adults Can Discover Their Inner Child

The Flip Out team has taken date nights to new heights by establishing family-friendly adventure parks crammed with trampolines, obstacle courses, climbing walls, arcade games, laser tag mazes, and ball pits.

If you want to reenergize your love life, you can stop by any Flip Out location to enjoy an exciting and unique dating atmosphere. Flip Out’s events, classes, and courses provide no end of entertainment, and it’s a fantastic way to break out of a romantic rut and create awesome memories.

“There’s so much to do,” Matthew said. “It’s a great ice breaker and talking point — there definitely won’t be any awkward silences!”
