Straight answers to your questions

I've never done this before. Can I still take a class?

How do I book my first class?

Is flying trapeze safe?

Safe doesn't mean soft. You fly with a safety harness, a net, and a coach managing every line. You only attempt what you've been coached to attempt, and only when you're ready. Staff are 100% background-checked. We've run this rig for 6+ years.

Is parkour safe for kids?

Parkour looks wild. It's taught methodically. Coaches manage the environment and each kid's progression the whole session. Kids attempt only what they've been coached through. The skill is real and so is the supervision.

What's the weight limit for flying trapeze?

250 lb for flying. If you have a question about a specific flyer, call us at (805) 515-4035.

What age can kids start?

Tiny Flyers is built for ages 3–5 (potty-trained). Parkour and Trapeze camps run ages 6–14. Flying trapeze welcomes all ages on the rig within the 250-lb limit. For a specific child, call us.

My kid is scared of heights. Should they still try?

Good. That's the point. Coaches work kids through fear, not around it. Scared and brave happen at the same time. Most kids who freeze at the base of the ladder are asking for another turn by the end.

Is my 3-year-old too young?

No. Tiny Flyers is purpose-built for ages 3–5 with a 4:1 coaching ratio, scaled equipment, and low heights. They must be potty-trained.

What should I wear for flying trapeze?

Form-fitting athletic wear. Nothing loose that can catch on the bar or lines. No skirts, no sandals, no dangling jewelry. Long hair tied back. Shorts and a fitted t-shirt work.
