Trampo Extreme hosts media night
MUSCAT: Celebrating the launch of its first facility in Oman, Trampo Extreme recently hosted a special evening event exclusively for members of the local media and their families at the Trampo Extreme Facility in Ghala.
Under the newly established Oman-Kuwait joint venture company, United Leisure and Entertainment, ‘Trampo Extreme, Oman’, located near the Oman Exhibition and Convention Centre, recently opened its doors to the public. A first of its kind family entertainment centre in the county, the centre offers a wide range of family activities including Oman’s largest trampoline area and the Sultanate’s only indoor scooter and skate park.
Amro Al Siyabi, one of the founding partners of Trampo Extreme in Oman noted, “Our main aim was to create a unique destination which not only provided a dedicated facility for family entertainment but also added value to the country’s economy by facilitating inbound and outbound tourism. Our focus would not be solely on trampolines, but various dynamic activities, such as football, parkour, a scooter and skate park and more. Through this venture, one of our main objectives was to provide families in Oman with a safe outlet that promotes fun and physical activity.”
Trampo Extreme will also feature 190 on-site parking spaces, event halls for the celebration of special events or social gatherings, and an indoor food zone. The food zone will consist of their specialised brand of refreshment – ‘RECHARGE’. Furthermore, there will be an American Airstream Caravan serving burgers and fries, a converted Volkswagen Kombi which will offer ice cream and popcorn, and two-cycle carts offering coffee.
Commenting on the event, Craig Ogilvie, the general manager of United Leisure and Entertainment said, “We are proud to be the first family entertainment centre in Oman and seek to create an environment that is fun and enjoyable for people of all ages. Be it either children or even their parents, we have a wide range of activities and thrilling features to establish the fact that no matter how old you are, you can still have fun. All our facilities are aimed at providing families with an enriching experience and an exciting way for them to bond in a fun-filled atmosphere, with safety as our main priority.”
The 4,700sqm Trampo Extreme Family Entertainment Centre offers its customers several attractions, such as ‘Clip’N’Climb’, which is a globally renowned climbing area with 26 colourful theme challenges; ‘Drop Slide’, a slide raised to six metres off the ground which will thrill roller coaster enthusiasts; ‘Goal Jnr’, 15-minute mini football games; ‘Skytrail’, a 10m-high rope course including rope walk challenges and a zip line; ‘Ninja Zone’, an indoor obstacle course and parkour area with soft mats; and ‘Trampo Twister’, an indoor cave and tunnel area.
