Woman-Owned Local Small Business Serving Since 1993 Hands-On Leadership

Built Together. Carried Forward.

Jolly Jumps began in 1993. Michael and Joy spent many years working together to build the company. Their shared commitment to hard work, dependable service, clean equipment, and treating people well helped shape the standards we still follow today.

After Michael’s passing, Joy continued leading the company hands-on, honoring his memory through the care and commitment they brought to their work together. Today, Jolly Jumps remains a woman-owned business under her leadership.

Joy works tirelessly alongside her team, solving problems, guiding new ideas, and upholding the quality our clients count on. Her commitment is to build a stable workplace where employees can grow and provide for their loved ones, while bringing quality experiences and memorable fun to our clients.

Michael’s Passion. A Lasting Foundation.

A Passion That Still Moves Us

Michael loved bringing new attractions to our corner of the country, and he found just as much enjoyment in the work of getting them here. Building, learning, traveling, and working alongside others were part of what made this company meaningful to him.

History Brought to Life

The Jolly Express Trackless Train was a personal passion. Michael wanted to honor our country’s rich history and the ingenuity of the Industrial Revolution. Modeled after the actual trains that once traveled through the Temecula Valley, his miniature trackless trains brought that interest to life in an experience families could share.

Finding Joy in the Work

Transporting equipment across the country was another part of the work he loved. The journey, the preparation, and the people involved mattered to him as much as the finished attraction. His enthusiasm helped shape a team that takes pride in the work and enjoys bringing it all together.

That spirit continues through Joy’s leadership and the people who carry it into our events today. The passion behind the scenes becomes the care, energy, and enjoyment our guests experience. It is a lasting part of what makes Jolly Jumps special.

Local Roots. New Ideas.

A Place Where Ideas Grow

Jolly Jumps has been a starting point for new attractions, educational experiences, and ways to serve events. That spirit of innovation continues through the brands and experiences connected to our company.

What Our Values Look Like

Our values guide the everyday details: how we prepare equipment, communicate with customers, support our coworkers, and take responsibility for our work.

Dependability

We plan carefully, show up prepared, and take our commitments seriously. Following through matters, whether we are helping with a backyard birthday or a large community celebration.

Clear Communication

We work to make expectations clear, answer questions, and keep customers and coworkers informed. Good planning starts with listening and paying attention to the details.

Care & Quality

Clean, disinfected equipment and professional presentation are part of the standard we work to uphold. We care about how our equipment arrives and how our team represents the company.

Integrity

We value honesty, accountability, and doing the right thing. That includes taking ownership of our work and addressing concerns with respect and a willingness to help.

Kindness & Respect

How people are treated matters. We aim to bring patience, courtesy, and consideration to our interactions with customers, guests, teammates, and the communities we serve.

Teamwork

Great events take people working together. We value a willingness to help where needed, share knowledge, learn new skills, and support one another in getting the job done well.

Care for Our People

Our commitment to care extends to the people who work here and the families who depend on them. We want team members to feel supported, valued, and encouraged as they learn and grow.

That care goes hand in hand with professional expectations: dependability, accountability, clear communication, and respect for one another. We believe a strong team helps us serve our customers well.
