Get ready to launch yourself into the trees at an outdoor trampoline park in western Quebec. A new trampoline that is “fully integrated into a forest environment” is opening this weekend. Uplå is opening its newest at Arbraska Laflèche in Val-des-Monts, located approximately 35 minutes north of Ottawa. “It’s a whimsical world where you’re immersed in nature, where you can have fun, jump around, move, and connect with your friends and nature simultaneously while having a blast in Quebec,” said Jean-François Couture, chief marketing officer of The Trekking Group. According to a press release from The Trekking Company, Uplå is North America’s largest outdoor trampoline park. “A new family-friendly adventure park brings fresh energy and eco-innovation to the Ottawa-Gatineau region,” reads the release. This marks the second Uplå in Quebec, and the third in Canada. “What makes Uplå Laflèche unique is that it’s the first to be fully integrated into a forest environment, offering a truly one-of-a-kind outdoor play experience,” the company said in a media release. Visitors will “bounce, slide, and explore in Nature’s Playground.” “It feels like being in space a little bit. It feels like floating. It feels like a lot of cardio. Six minutes of jumping is about 30 minutes of cardio. So, you get in, some good calorie burn and some good exercise at the same time,” added The Trekking Group’s marketing director Caroline Grinham. “Set in a lush forest, Uplå Laflèche offers 12,000 square feet of fun across nine bouncing zones (including two multi-level ones), three slides, two vertical tunnels, and two netted access ramps. Rain or shine, this colourful, netted wonderland delivers big thrills for both kids and adults,” The Trekking Group said. The opening day is Saturday. Admission is $35 per person, and The Trekking Group says it’s a two-hour aerial adventure. It’s open for people aged 5 and over.
