The quality of the trampoline park equipment decides you will pay the money in the beginning or in the end. It means, maybe in the beginning you are happy that you find the cheapest trampoline park on the market, but in the end you find you pay more on the equipment. Quality and safety should always be the priorities in the trampoline park business, or you will face expensive maintenance cost or more seriously, claims from customers. So the trampoline park price should not be the decisive factors for choosing the equipment, and high-quality trampoline park should be the first thing to consider if you want your park to run for a long time and be used safely by visitors for years.

2) The design proposal from operator’s point of view

All the trampoline parks are designed according to the building space, thus all unique and special. And the price of the trampoline park depends on the size and layout. But the price cannot be the most important criterion in choosing the design proposal. 

A good layout plan is designed from the operator’s point of view, makes full use of the space, and includes the popular attractions, etc. Maybe the trampoline park price is a little higher, but you will find that a good design will help increase customers repetition and decrease the operating expenses.
