Eleven years have just hopped by. Sky Zone Evansville welcomed its first jumpers in June of 2014. A lot has changed over the years, so I thought it would be cool to see how it started and where it is now.

Undercover Boss - CEO Jeff Platt

Just a few months before Sky Zone Evansville opened, the company was featured in an episode of Undercover Boss. This goes into the family aspect of the business, and how Jeff Platt became a very successful entrepreneur at the age of 21.

Not Just a Trampoline Park

The concept of Sky Zone began out in Las Vegas. The Platt family developed trampolines that sat in the ground - So you could play sports on them, and not fall off. This idea began the indoor trampoline park franchise known as Sky Zone.

Of course, there are more options for families to enjoy indoor amusements, so Sky Zone began offering other attractions. Now our Evansville location has an Air Court, games, a ninja course, wall climbing, and a giant slide. Plus, there is now a membership option.

Sky Zone, The Next Generation

It's been a while since I worked at Sky Zone, and now I'm proud to say that my son Chase is now a team member. allow me to brag just a bit...He has mastered Court Monitor, Fuel Zone, and Sales!
