Sky Zone packs October with special events for first anniversary & Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Sky Zone’s three-day anniversary celebration offers activities for all ages, from toddlers to teens to adults. Throughout the weekend, guests can enjoy an hour of jumping for $10 and special pricing on food and beverages. Also, everyone is encouraged to guess the number of stickers on a giant Sky Zone sticker ball. For a year, Sky Zone visitors have been adding their jump stickers to the ball and it’s now grown to over two feet tall by three feet wide. The person with the closest guess will win an entire year of free jumping at Sky Zone.
Anniversary Activities
The Sky Zone festivities begin on Friday with a toddler time jump with Queen Elsa from 10 a.m.-Noon and a slam dunk contest at 7 p.m.
On Saturday, the day includes free arcade games, face painting and caricatures, a visit from the Pewaukee Fire Department and fire engine tours, dodgeball and slam dunk contests and anniversary cake. The Milwaukee Brewers Famous Racing Sausages, Admirals mascot Roscoe, Miss Wisconsin and Icee Bear will also stop by at various times.
Sunday’s special guest is Aaron Evans, a Milwaukee native who is best known for jumping over three moving cars to become an international star and world-record holder. Evans will demonstrate his super human skills on a trampoline and sign autographs. And, at 5 p.m., the Milwaukee Bucks Rim Rockers will showcase their acrobatic talents and amazing slam dunks. Other activities include dodgeball, slam dunk contests and a special dodgeball tournament.
Sunday night from 5-7 p.m., Sky Zone is hosting a high-flying Young Stars Dodgeball Tournament on its trampoline courts for ages 10-15. Each dodgeball match lasts 2-5 minutes and teams play best-of-three in a round robin format leading up to a single elimination bracket. Each team must have a minimum of five players but can field up to eight. Individuals and teams can register online at Skyzone.com/Milwaukee, email dkopp@skyzone.com or call 262.696.1600. The tournament is $18 and includes a signature Sky Zone t-shirt, nine high-energy dodgeball games and a skills clinic.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
In addition to its anniversary celebration, Sky Zone is “going pink” in October to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The company is offering its signature SkySocks in pink and guests will be able to purchase pink Sky Zone t-shirts and wrist bands. Sky Zone is also offering a special pink Icee watermelon flavor throughout October.
For every pair of pink SkySocks purchased at Sky Zone parks across the United States and Canada, a percentage of the proceeds will go to support the FAB-U-WISH foundation in partnership with The Pink Agenda. Plus, Sky Zone will match each SkySock purchase by guests. Locally, Sky Zone will donate a percentage of sales from pink shirts, bracelets and pink watermelon Icees to breast cancer awareness.
Sky Zone is also hosting a “pink out” event on Oct. 29, 6-8 p.m. During that time, anyone who wears their pink Sky Zone t-shirt will get an hour of free jumping.
FAB-U-WISH was created by E! News host and breast cancer survivor Giuliana Rancic. All funds donated in support of the partnership will be split evenly between funding cancer research and granting life-changing wishes to breast cancer patients.
“One of our core values at Sky Zone is to do good. We like to give back to the community so we’re excited to be involved with Giuliana and support Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” says Bron Launsby, owner of Sky Zone in Waukesha. “We hope the pink SkySock initiative will encourage families to have active fun while supporting this incredibly important cause.”
Sky Zone’s wall-to-wall trampoline courts are designed as a fun outing for all ages, shapes and sizes. The innovative trampoline park offers a variety of activities for everyone to enjoy, from Open Jump, allowing guests to leap, bound and soar to their hearts’ content, to Ultimate Dodgeball for those who enjoy a friendly competition. Fitness friends can feel the burn at Sky Zone’s original SkyRobics fitness class, which combines advanced calisthenics and a three-dimensional cardio and strength training program that encourages a healthy mixture of fitness and fun. The park is the ideal venue for groups seeking unforgettable events such as birthday parties, corporate team building, field trips and much more.
