Vending Cotton Candy Machine Supplier:Why Choose Marwey

The money required to start a trampoline park is substantial and highly variable. The total initial investment typically ranges from $500,000 up to over $8 million, depending heavily on the business model and size.

General Range for Initial Investment

• Independent or Smaller Park: $500,000 to $3,000,000

  Large-Scale or Franchise Park (e.g., Urban Air, Altitude): $1,700,000 to over $8,000,000 (This higher figure includes franchise fees, extensive attractions, and substantial leasehold improvements).

Breakdown of Major Costs

The majority of the startup capital is allocated to three key areas:

• Leasehold Improvements and Build-Out ($500,000 - $1,500,000+): This is often the largest single expense. It covers converting an empty warehouse or retail space (typically 20,000 to 40,000 square feet) to meet safety codes, installing HVAC, electricity, fire suppression systems, flooring, and constructing party rooms.
• Trampoline & Attraction Equipment ($100,000 - $750,000+): Purchasing, shipping, and installing the trampolines, foam pits, ninja courses, climbing walls, and other specialized safety equipment.
• Working Capital & Other Fees: This includes initial security deposits, permits, pre-opening staff salaries, marketing, and the significant cost of liability insurance. (For franchises, the upfront Franchise Fee alone can be $50,000 to $150,000+).

Insurance is one of the most substantial and critical operating expenses due to the high-risk nature of the business.

General Liability Insurance: Costs can be very high and are subject to location, state regulations, and the park's safety history. While some smaller estimates exist, industry-specific insurance providers often report that comprehensive annual General Liability policies (with a minimum of $1 million per-occurrence limit) are hard to get and very expensive, often in the tens of thousands to potentially over $100,000 USD per year depending on the carrier and coverage limits required.

Consider your primary goals:

• ​For maximum durability in high-traffic locations​ (like arcades or amusement parks), choose a commercial-grade, enclosed booth.

•  

• ​For branding and social media virality, select a model with strong digital sharing and branding capabilities.

•  

• ​For flexibility and large groups, an open-air or 360-degree photo booth may be ideal. It's best to discuss your specific needs with a supplier like Marwey to find the perfect match.
