Santa Barbara Trapeze Co

★★★★★Karina Ballantyne

A must do! I've spent months now watching my 3 year old face challenge after challenge with a smile on her face - learning that it's FUN to do hard things! Trapeze is the only activity she requests over and over again - in part because of the fantastic coaches and wonderful environment. Kids in class become quick friends, cheering each other on and overcoming fears together. It's pure joy to witness her growth and skills develop over time. Then I decided to try it out myself and WOW - what a rush! Now i'm hooked too!! Safe to say, fun for all ages!!

It’s been 6 months, and we are still raving to everyone about SB Trapeze camp. It’s so fun to do and to watch. The best part is the team’s dedication to providing a positive experience. There are high and lows and how the team engages with kids and rallies them all to support one another is remarkable. The organizers are also great to communicate and coordinate with — we flew in for a week of camp with cousins. The best part IMO — kids don’t get to experience many men in teaching roles. Shane, Chris, and the whole team really go above and beyond in patience, positivity, enthusiasm, and empathy.

I can't recommend Santa Barbara Trapeze enough. We just celebrated our daughter's 13th birthday with them and it was incredible. Shane, Chris, and Axel were an amazing team full of energy, expertise, and motivation. They supported all 10 kids at various levels to ensure each person had a great experience. From first time flyers to my daughter who has been flying for 6 months, it was perfect for everyone. We also had the opportunity to see them show off a bit, which was exciting for all those who joined us. This was one of the most unique and best birthday parties I've had for either of my kids. I would also highly recommend their after-school programs as well as summer, winter and spring break camps. They are not to be missed.

Absolutely fantastic experience! Celebrated my son Jameson's 6th Birthday with Santa Barbara Trapeze Co., and it was super legit. The instructors, Eric, Shane, Jesse, and Drew, were charismatic, fun, and motivating, while also demonstrating a level of professionalism and safety, which made me as a parent, feel a blanket of reassurance watching my kid fling into the air. They're great with kids, and had the parents laughing and enjoying the whole time too. They made safety instructions fun, which helped keep my son's attention span in place, and their verbal instructions to your kid while they're flying were clear, loud, and concise. I was skeptical at first, but seeing Jameson fly in the air with such a ginormo beaming smile, 100000% worth it. In a world with endless options for kid activities, this is the new top for us. Great instructors, fun vibes, and physical activity, what more could you ask for! We'll be coming again!

We have hosted two parties at Santa Barbara Trapeze, and both experiences were fantastic! From the moment we checked in, everything ran smoothly, thanks to Shane's excellent communication and support. He ensured the booking process was easy and checked in during the party to make sure everything was going well. The setup was accommodating; they provided a table for us, and we were allowed to bring our own food, which made it easy to set up snacks, pizza, and drinks. There was a shaded area with comfortable seating where the kids could relax and watch their friends fly. Safety was clearly a top priority. Instructors Brie, Owen, and Kate did a remarkable job guiding our group of 10 and 11-year-old boys, making them feel confident and safe while learning to fly. In addition to parties, Santa Barbara Trapeze offers a variety of programs, including camps during school breaks, weekly classes, and weekend open sessions, as well as parkour classes. We couldn't be happier with our experiences and look forward to returning!
