Defy Tacoma

Defy Tacoma makes the most of its expansive 30,000 square foot warehouse space. Attraction density was the goal when the park was designed, and it shows. Everywhere you look, there’s something new and engaging for kids to try. There's the requisite open jump space where kids can bounce from one tramp to the next, until they can’t bounce anymore. Other familiar attractions include circus favorites like the slack line, cloud swings and trapeze bar. However, it's the not-found-anywhere-else attractions that your little party goers are really going to love. Wipeout, a mechanized attraction, pits a staff-controlled machine against kids of all ages; Battle Beam, a suspended balance beam, is where players use padded bats to try and knock each other off balance and into the pit below; and the Log Roll is just like it sounds and perfect for lumberjack wannabes. 

Defy Tacoma’s party packages include everything you'll need for an easy-peasy bash. Book one of their four party rooms and the staff will take care of everything from the decorations, to the food and drink, to all the paper goods. The only thing you bring is the cake! But if planning is your thing and you want to throw a coordinated or themed bash, they can help you do that, too. Reach out to the Event Coordination Team to bring your perfect party vision to life.

Parents and younger sibs (you must be at least 5 years old to play) who are not participating are welcome to watch and take pictures at no extra charge.
