Welcome to Lava Island

Lava Island is a high-energy indoor play oasis filled with trampolines, slides, foam pits, obstacle courses, and nonstop birthday parties. Families come here to make memories. 

Our team is the reason those memories feel fun, safe, and unforgettable. Working at Lava Island means being part of something bigger—where your effort helps shape the kind of day families will talk about long after they leave.

• Welcome families at check-in
• Supervise play areas and support safety
• Help run birthday parties and celebrations

• Supportive teammates
• Quick to step in and help without being asked

We're looking for people who care about their work and the families they serve.
