The follow-on business in the Jack's Shoes building, Leapin' Lizards,

Columbia’s only Parent-Friendly Inflatable Play Center

has closed down. Looking at the (archived) link above, it does appear to me that it would indeed be a lot of fun for those in the bouncy-castle demographic (and future Wipeout contestants have to come from somewhere :-).

This closing follows that of the somewhat more elaborate Monkey Business in Lexington by about two years, and, I believe follows the re-opening of the nearby Little Gym which was damaged during the D's Wings fire.

UPDATE 22 April 2012 -- Here are some more and better pictures, including the still extant Forest Drive sign:

  1. Remember when kids played outdoors?

  2. I'm somewhat surprised this closed. Is there a competing inflatable play spot in Forest Acres?

    There is one in Irmo, although I have not been there in some time. Fun Zone is on Ministry Dr, near the ACX Cheerleading building.

    And of course, Monkey Joe's is the big one, in Lexington. There are always a ton of people there.

  3. I notied a building permit in the window for something (not sure what)

    Monkey Joe's in Lexington got so big that the franchisees decided to open up a Northeast Richland outlet off of Clemson Road (between I-20 and Percival Road)

  4. I just happened to drive by here at 8:15 this morning and there were workers refitting the place to be something else.

  5. This place finally reopened a few days ago as Pinnacle Rehab Center. Been packed every morning.
