Sneak Peek: AirTime Trampoline to Offer Fun, Games, Jobs and More in Troy

Ohio couple Pam and Will Wannemacher have been generating quite a buzz in Troy since moving here just three months ago. Word of their unique trampoline-themed indoor park, , is spreading as the couple prepares to open in just a few weeks.

But what, exactly, will AirTime Trampoline & Game Park be bringing to Troy? Patch has the scoop.

A local feel

The Wannemachers may be new to Troy, but they already "feel more at home here in Troy than we ever did in Ohio," Pam said. 

The couple scouted multiple locations nationwide when searching for the perfect location for their indoor trampoline park, finally settling on Troy in June because of its business-friendly environment and, most importantly, its community feel.

"We picked the right city," Pam said. "I absolutely love it, and the people have been warm and have helped us out."

But the Wannemachers aren't just bringing 31,000 square feet of trampolines and games to kids (and adults) in Troy – they're also planning on doing everything they can to support local bands, non-profit organizations, schools and other organizations in the area.

"We thought it was important" to support local organizations, Pam said.

The couple, who have been married for four years, also thought it'd "be fun to be around kids," Pam said.

They have already begun speaking with area schools and other organizations about hosting fundraising nights at AirTime, where portion of the ticket sales would be donated back to the community organization.

In addition to more than 15,000 square feet of trampolines separated by age group (so you don't have to worry about your wee ones getting trampled), AirTime will also have:
