Your First Visit to Ground Control San Antonio: Tickets, Waivers, Grip Socks & What to Expect

Visiting a new trampoline park is more fun when you know what to expect before you arrive. If you’re planning your first trip to Ground Control San Antonio, a little preparation can make check-in easier and help your group spend more time enjoying the park.

Ground Control San Antonio is an indoor trampoline and adventure park located at 9870 Marbach Rd., San Antonio, TX 78245. The park offers active indoor entertainment for kids, families, birthday parties, groups, and other guests looking for a place to jump, play, and explore.

This first-visit guide covers the basics, including tickets, waivers, grip socks, arrival time, age considerations, attractions, and where to find current pricing and hours.

Do You Need to Buy Tickets in Advance?

Walk-ins are welcome at Ground Control San Antonio, but purchasing tickets in advance is recommended if you want to help secure a preferred jump time.

Before your visit, check the Pricing & Hours page for current admission options, park hours, and any updated pricing information.

Current admission options include a 90-minute flight ticket for guests ages 3 and up and an all-day ticket. Because prices and promotions can change, the Pricing & Hours page should be your source for the latest details.

Complete Your Waiver Before You Arrive

Everyone entering Ground Control, including jumpers and spectators, needs a completed waiver. Guests under 18 must have the waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian.

Completing the waiver online before arriving can make the check-in process faster. You can visit the Ground Control waiver page before your trip.

If you’re bringing children who are not your own, make sure their parent or legal guardian takes care of the required waiver ahead of time.

Are Ground Control Grip Socks Required?

Yes. Ground Control grip socks are required for guests using the attractions.

Socks from other trampoline parks or other suppliers are not accepted. Ground Control grip socks can be reused on future visits as long as they remain in good condition, so returning guests should remember to bring their pair.

Grip socks are sold separately from admission, so first-time visitors should account for them when planning the visit.

How Early Should You Arrive?

Ground Control recommends arriving about 20 minutes early so you have time to check in and prepare before your jump time.

Arriving early is especially helpful on a first visit because you may need time to confirm waivers, get grip socks, organize your group, and learn where everything is located.

If you purchased tickets for a specific time, giving yourself that extra buffer can help prevent the visit from feeling rushed.

Is There an Age Limit at Ground Control San Antonio?

Ground Control welcomes guests of different ages. Children age 2 and under may jump free with a ticketed adult and must jump with that adult. They still need Ground Control grip socks.

Guests under age 13 must be accompanied by an adult.

If you’re planning a visit with younger children or a mixed-age group, review the Ground Control San Antonio FAQs before arriving for the latest visitor guidance.

What Can You Do at Ground Control San Antonio?

Ground Control San Antonio offers more than open trampoline space. Current attractions and entertainment include:

  • Trampolines
  • Dodgeball
  • Basketball
  • Ninja Course
  • Stunt Fall
  • Rock Climbing
  • Battle Jousting
  • Arcade games and Hologate VR entertainment

Attraction availability may vary, so if your family is visiting for one specific activity, check with the park before you arrive.

You can explore the current lineup on the Attractions & Games page.

Do Parents Have to Buy a Jump Ticket?

Parents and other spectators do not need a jump ticket if they are only watching and are not participating in the attractions.

They do still need a completed waiver to enter Ground Control, so it is worth taking care of that before the visit even if you plan to stay on the sidelines.

What Should You Wear?

Choose comfortable clothing that works well for active movement. Since guests using the attractions need Ground Control grip socks, regular footwear is not what you will wear while participating in the trampoline and activity areas.

If you have questions about clothing, food, tickets, age requirements, parties, or other park policies, the FAQ page is a useful place to check before your visit.
