The Ultimate Teen Holiday Fun & Screen-Time Alternative

School’s out, and the screens are on

It happens every year. The holidays arrive, and within a day or two, your teen has vanished behind a screen. Between TikTok, Netflix, and gaming marathons, it’s easy for the days to blend into one long scroll.

But what if you could offer something that’s just as exciting, and a lot more active? That’s where Rush Indoor Trampoline Park comes in. With parks in Claremont, Cape Town and Greenstone, Johannesburg, Rush gives teens a reason to get off the couch and back into the real world. It’s the kind of fun that gets their heart racing, boosts their mood, and keeps them smiling all day.

Why teens love Rush

It’s real-world fun again

At Rush, it’s all about movement and laughter, no filters, no screens, just real fun.

The parks are packed with interconnected trampolines, foam pits, climbing walls, and dodgeball courts that give teens space to jump, flip, and move freely. Whether they’re learning a new trick, challenging friends to a jump-off, or just bouncing for the pure joy of it, Rush helps them rediscover how good it feels to actually move.

And let’s be honest, it’s hard to check your phone while mid-air.

It’s the perfect hangout spot

Rush isn’t just for jumping, it’s a social space too. Teens can come in groups, meet up with friends, and spend the day doing something fun together.

The vibe is always upbeat, the music’s good, and the atmosphere is full of energy. It’s the kind of place where friendships grow, laughter echoes, and memories are made without anyone staring at a screen.

Plus, parents can relax knowing it’s a safe, supervised space with friendly staff always on duty.

It’s great for body and mind

We all know how easy it is to fall into a holiday slump. Too much sitting around can leave teens tired, restless, and disconnected.

Trampolining is a fun, low-pressure way to get moving again. It improves balance, coordination, and fitness without feeling like exercise. More importantly, it releases endorphins, those natural feel-good chemicals that lift your mood and reduce stress.

According to research published by the British Journal of Sports Medicine, just 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day can significantly improve mental health and overall wellbeing. source

So yes, a jump session at Rush can do wonders for both body and brain.

Why parents love it too

As much as teens need a break, parents do too. Rush makes it easy to keep everyone happy.

  • It’s indoors, so no sunburn or sudden weather changes.
  • It’s safe, with trained staff supervising every area.
  • It’s easy to plan, with sessions running throughout the day.
  • And most importantly, it gets the kids moving and off their screens without a single argument.

You can grab a coffee at the on-site café or join in for a bounce (yes, parents are welcome too). It’s a win-win for the whole family.

Simple ideas for a screen-free holiday

If you’re trying to cut down on screen time these holidays, here are a few easy ideas to mix things up:

  1. Book a Rush session once a week – It gives teens something to look forward to and builds a healthy routine.
  2. Plan a friends’ challenge day – Get a group together for dodgeball, relay races, or jump contests.
  3. Turn it into family time – Make it a family outing where everyone joins in.
  4. Use it as a reward – Encourage teens to balance screen time with active fun by rewarding productive mornings with a Rush visit in the afternoon.

A few hours of jumping can turn any slow day into an instant mood booster.
