Our STORY
Jump N Slide Adventure Park was born from a desire to create a safe and exciting space for kids and families in Rapid City. As parents of two energetic children, Oakley and Raelah, Jeremiah and Trista Vlcek found themselves searching for fun, year-round activities where kids and their parents could explore and play safely. With long winters and unpredictable weather, Rapid City lacked indoor entertainment options for children, leading them to imagine something bigger—a place where kids could burn off energy, discover new adventures, and enjoy endless fun, regardless of the weather.
Trista, a USAF veteran who served in Okinawa, Japan, and Jeremiah, born and raised in Rapid City, came together with a mission: to build a family-friendly indoor park that would give kids the freedom to play in a clean, secure environment. With their daughter’s adventurous spirit (nicknamed “Monkey” for her love of climbing), they decided it was time to bring their dream to life, filling the gap in children’s soft play areas in their community. Thus, Jump N Slide Adventure Park was created, designed to be the premier indoor park for families in Rapid City and beyond.
