Open a Sky Zone Franchise: What You Need to Know
Sky Zone pioneered the indoor trampoline park concept in 2004, transforming an arena of trampolines built for a new professional sport into a trampoline park for families. What began as a single park has grown into the world’s largest network of indoor active entertainment centers.
Today, Sky Zone operates and franchises over 265 parks, offering more than 60 attractions and welcoming over 45 million guests annually. Sky Zone is a place where PLAY rules – it has redefined how families connect, stay active and celebrate. In 2018, Sky Zone joined forces with CircusTrix, further accelerating growth and innovation across its platform. With a strong, experienced leadership team, Sky Zone is focused on doubling its footprint to 500 locations by 2027, while continuing to deliver best-in-class guest experiences and franchise support.
What is your franchise’s unique selling proposition (USP)?
Sky Zone is the global leader in trampoline-based active entertainment and the biggest brand in the space, with over 20 years of industry experience and the largest footprint of parks in the world. Our commitment to delivering exceptional member value, fostering innovation and ensuring safety – along with a proven franchise model and a family-focused brand – positions Sky Zone as a unique and powerful investment opportunity.
How many units do you currently have? Additionally, how many new ones are opening per month and in which geographic areas are you most popular?
As of 2025, Sky Zone operates over 265 parks with the large majority across North America, with a plan to reach 300 by the end of the year and 500 by 2027. In 2024, we opened 8 new parks. We have large concentrations of parks in Northern and Southern California, Chicago, Florida and the DC metro areas. Our current expansion strategy is centered in those markets as well as newer areas of expansion such as Texas, where we currently have over 22 franchise agreements signed.
What are the key revenue streams for franchisees?
Key revenue comes from multiple streams including general admission, memberships, birthday parties/group events, retail merchandise, food & beverage sales and special programs like Little Leapers. Our membership model provides recurring revenue, while customizable birthday experiences offer strong margins and year-round demand.
How is your brand positioned for future growth and expansion in the next 5-10 years?
As demand grows among millennial parents for screen-free, active entertainment, Sky Zone is leading the charge. The brand is positioned for aggressive growth, with a strategy focused on doubling our location count by 2027 through franchising in top-tier markets and converting high-performing legacy parks.
What are the minimum capital requirements, initial investment costs and ongoing fees for franchisees? Furthermore, are financing or other fundraising options available?
Initial franchise fees are $75,000, with total investment ranging from $2.3m – $5.1m, varying by market and size. Ongoing royalties are 6% of gross sales, plus 2% toward national marketing. While Sky Zone does not directly provide financing, we work with preferred lenders and support franchisees in identifying funding solutions.
