Park Story at Morrisville, NC

We opened Urban Air Adventure Park in Morrisville because we love adventure!

Michael Villopoto and German Garcia-Fresco had always been passionate about bringing joy and excitement to families. Their journey began with a paintball field called Xtreme Kombat, which evolved into Xtreme Park Adventures in Durham. With every new attraction, they realized that their quest to create unforgettable experiences for the Triangle community was far from over.

“We wanted to provide a comprehensive indoor recreational experience for families throughout the Triangle,” said Villopoto. “We included everything Urban Air had to offer, including the Triangle’s first indoor skydiving facility.”

The vision for Urban Air Morrisville Park was born out of a desire to create a place where fun knew no bounds. Villopoto and Garcia-Fresco meticulously planned every detail, ensuring there was something for everyone. From the adrenaline-pumping Spin Zone bumper cars to the cutting-edge virtual reality experiences, the park was designed to cater to all ages and interests.

The Glamour Salon, a unique feature exclusive to Urban Air Morrisville, offered a magical experience for young girls. “We are also the first Urban Air in the country to offer a Glamour Salon where guests can get a manicure, and have a princess birthday party!” Villopoto exclaimed, his eyes twinkling with excitement. The salon quickly became a favorite for birthday celebrations, mommy-daughter spa days, and more.

One of the park's highlights was the Snapology lab, a STEAM room where kids could engage in science and engineering activities. Garcia-Fresco shared, “We offer after-school programs and summer camps, allowing children to learn about programming, building, and more in a fun and interactive environment.”

Villopoto’s experience in the hospitality industry, owning restaurants and recreational parks for over 30 years, has shown through in every aspect of Urban Air. He brought a taste of his Amante Pizza restaurant to the park, ensuring families could enjoy delicious food during their visit.

Urban Air Morrisville Park quickly became a beloved destination, attracting families from all over the Triangle. With 14 birthday party rooms, including the enchanting Glamour Salon princess rooms, it was the perfect place to celebrate special occasions. The park's wide range of attractions, from indoor skydiving to virtual reality, trampolines to dodgeball, ensured there was never a dull moment.

“Our goal was to create a place where families could come together, have fun, and make lasting memories,” Villopoto said. “And seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, we know we've achieved just that.”

Urban Air Morrisville Park stood as a testament to Villopoto and Garcia-Fresco’s dedication to bringing joy to their community. Their relentless pursuit of innovation and excellence had transformed a simple dream into a vibrant reality, making the Triangle a happier place one adventure at a time.
