Sky Zone Comes to Waco

Date Published

Excitement is bouncing into Waco as Sky Zone, the national chain of indoor trampoline parks, is set to open a brand-new location at 5050 W Waco Drive—the former Burlington store. This prime spot, across from Richland Mall, marks an exciting transformation for a nearly 45,000-square-foot building that sat vacant after Burlington’s closure.

Renovations for Sky Zone’s new Waco facility are scheduled to begin in August 2025 with a $1.25 million interior investment and a projected completion by February 2026. Families and thrill-seekers can look forward to a wide array of attractions, including expansive jump courts, obstacle courses, foam pits, sport courts, and event spaces. Plans also include a café and dedicated party rooms, making it an ideal destination for birthday parties and group events.

Sky Zone’s move into the old Burlington building follows a growing trend of reimagining big-box retail spaces for active entertainment venues. The renovation will bring new life to a property built in the late 1980s and reflect the ongoing commercial development along Waco Drive.

Conclusion

With Sky Zone set to bring exciting indoor entertainment to Waco Drive, this new development promises to enhance the community’s recreational offerings.
