Flying Squirrel Whitby vs. Sky Zone Whitby: Which One Fits Your Family Best?
by Daniel Reid
October 2025
When it comes to active indoor fun, Whitby families have two great choices: Flying Squirrel and Sky Zone. Both deliver hours of movement and smiles—but they’re built a little differently. Here’s a straightforward comparison to help you decide which park fits your crew, your occasion, and your budget.
First impressions & overall vibe
- Flying Squirrel Whitby is built for variety. Beyond big freestyle trampoline courts, you can rotate through Aerial Silks, Airbag Trampoline Launch Lanes, Airtrack, Battlebeam, Dunk Hoops, and a Performance Trampoline Court—then switch gears to the Climbing Beanstalk, Rope Swing, Slackline, or a movie-worthy Stunt Jump Airbag. Little jumpers get their own Kiddie Inflatable Park, older kids can hit the full Inflatable Park, and everyone gets reset time at the Arcade and Drey Cafe. The result is a playday with built-in “mini missions” and easy breathers, so mixed-age groups don’t stall or repeat the same thing all visit long.
- Sky Zone Whitby offers large trampoline courts anchored by Ultimate Dodgeball, SkySlam dunk hoops, Foam Zone, Warped Wall, Ninja Warrior Course, Parkour Blox, and a Toddler Zone.
Takeaway: Both parks are lively and popular, but Flying Squirrel’s trampolines + lots of different ways to move keeps more ages engaged and gives you more ways to change the pace without leaving the fun.

Size & space
- Flying Squirrel Whitby spans 37,000 sq. ft., giving it room for multiple trampoline zones plus extras like climbing elements, inflatables, café seating, and reset areas. That footprint helps spread out crowds and makes it easier for different ages to do different things at the same time.
- Sky Zone Whitby is slightly smaller at about 34,000 sq. ft., a substantial space focused on classic trampoline attractions and obstacle-style features. It’s big enough for busy days, but with a tighter layout than Flying Squirrel.
Takeaway: Both parks are large; Flying Squirrel’s extra square footage translates to more distinct zones and more breathing room during peak hours.
Party experience: flow, flexibility, prices & “wow” factor
- Flying Squirrel Whitby kids birthday parties run 2.5 hours (typically 2 hours of activity + 30 minutes for food/cake). The Bounce & Soar package is $300 Mon–Thu or $400 Fri–Sun/Holidays and includes 10 guests (up to 22), 2 large pizzas, 10 waters, a dedicated host, reserved table, birthday shout-out, keepsakes, and the option to hold it during Neon Lights at no extra charge. Extra guests: $30 (M–Th) / $40 (F–Sun). Grip socks are required and not included ($3.50/pair).
- Sky Zone Whitby offers three tiers for 10 jumpers: Basic $300, Epic $350, and Mega VIP $430. Standard flow is 60 min jump + 60 min room (Epic/Basic), while Mega VIP upgrades jump time to 120 minutes plus 60 minutes in a private room. Epic/Mega include 1 large pizza + 1 pitcher of water per 5 jumpers; Basic allows outside food for a $50 fee. SkySocks are included for party guests. Add-on jumpers: $30 / $35 / $43 respectively.
Edge: Both venues throw a solid birthday. The differences are in flow and highlights. For a straightforward, high-energy party with more activity time at the base price (2 hours vs. Sky Zone’s 60 minutes on most packages) and a built-in glow-party option at no extra charge, Flying Squirrel is the easier “set it and forget it” choice—especially for mixed-age groups. Sky Zone’s tiered options are solid if you want a shorter jump window or plan to step up to the Mega VIP tier for the longer 120-minute jump.
So…which one should you pick?
Both parks deliver indoor fun—but if your crew spans different ages or you want a birthday that feels like an event (without extra work), Flying Squirrel Whitby is the better fit. The mix of trampolines and climbing, the 2-hour activity window in party packages, and the built-in Neon Lights option make it easy to keep everyone moving and smiling.
