 Hundreds of parents and kids showed up to welcome Urban Air Adventure Park to Midvale. On Jan. 31, the family entertainment center held a grand opening at its first-ever location in Utah (7220 S. Union Park Ave.), with attractions like the Sky Rider zipline, Spin Zone bumper cars, a ropes course and climbing walls.

“We didn’t want to just open another play place. We wanted to build the ultimate destination,” said Diby Roy, Urban Air franchise owner. “Families in Midvale, Cottonwood Heights and Sandy have been waiting for a premium venue that works for everyone, from the toddler on a playdate to the teenager on a Friday night date. We’ve built the place where you go to make memories, not just burn time.”

The Urban Air Adventure Park also features a play  area with seven slides, including the Launch Slide, where riders catch air on the landing; a slide for tandem racing; and the double tube slides with dynamic lighting effects.

Attendees can ride the Flip Zone bumper cars, play laser tag, navigate the obstacle course and fly through the air on the zipline-type Sky Glider.

“We’re really excited to bring this here,” said General Manager Anna Powell. “We’ve got so many different things and attractions, and our three main core things are: clean, safe and kind. We do daily checks on all of our equipment, sometimes even twice a day, to make sure every single bolt and screw is working properly.”
