What does an Urban Air park bill?

The 81 reporting 2.0 Parks averaged $3,092,533 in the 2025 fiscal year, with quartile averages of $4,684,848, $3,091,470, $2,553,650 and $1,960,549 and a range from $1,300,951 to $11,315,595. The 15 larger 2.5 Parks averaged $3,620,559.

Do newer parks bill less?

They bill more here. The 23 parks open between one and three years averaged $3,324,677, which is 7.5% above the whole reporting group, and their lowest-selling quartile averaged $2,311,166 against $1,960,549 across all 81.

What does the brand take?

A 7% royalty on monthly gross sales and a required local marketing spend currently set at 5%, which is 12% of sales together. The national advertising fund is at 0% today, and the fund, the local spend and any co-operative together stay within 6% of sales, so 1% of headroom remains. At the average park that is $371,104 a year.

What does it cost to open?

$2,852,887 to $5,441,558 for a 2.0 Park, of which $1,214,760 to $1,618,650 is the attractions package bought from the franchisor’s affiliate and $853,613 to $2,225,980 is the build. An optional attractions upgrade adds up to $980,000. A 2.5 Park is reported at $4,147,074 to $7,944,050. The franchise fee is $100,000.

What about costs and profit?

Everything stops at gross sales. Cost of sales, operating expenses and rent all sit outside the tables, so a park’s profitability has to be built from its own books.

How is the system moving?

Franchised parks went 161, 179, 193 and 202 across three years, with 17 and 19 openings in the last two and closures rising from two to ten. Company-owned parks have held at four. At year end 165 agreements were signed with the park still unopened.

Breakdown

Urban Air franchise unit economics

Q: How much does a Urban Air franchise make?

The average Urban Air unit reported $3,092,533 of revenue in the 2026 FDD. The filing discloses revenue and not profit, so what an owner keeps depends on the cost structure set out below. Fees come off the top first, at about 12% of sales across royalty, brand fund and the rest of the stack. Revenue is not income. Rent, wages, cost of goods and the franchise fees all come out before an owner is paid,

Urban Air franchisees run indoor adventure parks built around trampolines, ropes courses, climbing walls and go-karts, selling admissions, memberships, parties and food. The 81 reporting 2.0 Parks averaged $3,092,533 of gross sales in the 2025 fiscal year, and the 15 larger 2.5 Parks averaged $3,620,559. The attractions package alone runs $1,214,760 to $1,618,650 and is bought from the franchisor’s own affiliate.

Key idea

The parks open between one and three years bill 7.5% more than the whole reporting group, $3,324,677 against $3,092,533. The larger 2.5 format bills 17.1% more again. Both point the same way: in this system the newest and largest boxes are the ones carrying the averages.

How much does a Urban Air franchise make?

The average Urban Air unit reported $3,092,533 of revenue in the 2026 FDD. The brand’s disclosure document discloses revenue and not profit, so what an owner keeps depends on the cost structure set out below. Fees come off the top first, at about 12% of sales across royalty, brand fund and the rest of the stack. Revenue is not income. Rent, wages, cost of goods and the franchise fees all come out before an owner is paid. The figures for the highest-selling and lowest-selling businesses are below.

Sales, best to worst

$3,092,533 across 81 parks.

quartiles cover the 81 2.0 Parks that traded a full year. They stop at gross sales, so this page works from revenue alone.

Gross sales by quartile, 2.0 Parks, fiscal 2025, as the brand reported it, with the weighted average and range added *Averan calculation

The four quartile rows are as the brand reported it. The weighted all-park row and the range column are marked. Weighting each quartile average by its park count and dividing each row’s highest by its lowest.

The top quartile contains more range than the other three combined. 3.18 times inside it against 1.19, 1.25 and 1.75 *, and one park at $11,315,595 bills 3.66 times the system average.

The middle 40 parks sit between $2,282,242 and $3,423,610. A 1.50-times group holding half the reporting system *. The second and third quartiles are the shape of an ordinary park here.

The top quartile averages 2.39 times the bottom. $4,684,848 against $1,960,549 *, while individual parks run 8.70 times apart.

Top performers

What separates the top Urban Air performers

Urban Air splits its locations into groups instead of publishing one average. The best group averaged $4,684,848 a year. The worst averaged $1,960,549. Both run the same brand, on the same agreement, paying the same fees.

Decided before you open

Trade area and site.A 2.4× gap between bands is not an operating gap. Catchment, daytime population and what sits next door set the ceiling before the first customer arrives.
What you spend to open.Opening costs $2,852,887 to $5,441,558, a 1.9× range inside one brand. The high end usually buys more capacity, so the cheapest build is not always the cheapest route to the top band.

Live operating levers

Members, the operating driver.This model bills on members. The owner watches how many people join, how many cancel, and what a member spends beyond the plan. It is worth watching every week, because by the time it turns up in a monthly close the quarter is half gone.
Fees, and where the minimum bites.Fees run about 12.0% of sales. A minimum sits underneath the percentage, so the low-volume location pays the higher effective rate. The brand charges the weakest locations the most. Work out the sales level where the percentage overtakes the minimum and know which side of it you are on, because the answer changes what an extra dollar of sales is worth.
The first year.This filing shows how a new location builds up, so the ramp can be underwritten from the document rather than assumed. Read two things out of it: the month sales cross the point where costs are covered, and how much cash you fund before that month arrives. Everything before break-even is paid for by you.

Context you underwrite around

The reporting screen.81 of 202 locations are behind these figures. Locations open less than the full year, brand-owned, or not meeting the reporting criteria are excluded, so the numbers describe locations that cleared that screen, not the system as a whole.
What the disclosure leaves out.Item 19 publishes no profit or cost data for franchised locations, no median, no attainment figure. Anything below the sales line has to come from the franchisor or from owners you call.

This filing does not split its locations into performance bands, so the gap between the highest and lowest Urban Air location is not disclosed. What it does publish is on the Model and Finance tabs.

Format and age

Newer and larger both bill more.

Two further tables cut the same reporting population differently. One takes the 2.0 Parks open between one and three years, the other the 15 parks built to the larger 2.5 specification.

The three reported groups, fiscal 2025, quartiles as the brand reported it, the weighted averages and comparisons *Averan calculation
Group	Parks	Top quartile average	Second	Third	Fourth	Weighted average *	Against all 2.0 Parks *

Every quartile average and park count is as the brand reported it. The weighted average and the comparison are marked *, weighting each group’s quartile averages by its own park counts. Run 21, 20, 20 and 20 for the first group, 5, 5, 6 and 6 for the second and 3, 4, 4 and 4 for the third.

The younger group’s lowest-selling quartile beats the whole group’s. $2,311,166 against $1,960,549 *, 17.9% higher at the bottom, which is where a system’s age usually shows.

Every quartile of the 2.5 format beats the matching 2.0 quartile at the bottom three. $3,714,314, $3,208,733 and $2,704,012 against $3,091,470, $2,553,650 and $1,960,549 *, and the gap widens as you go down, from 20.1% to 37.9%.

A 2.5 Park’s lowest-selling quartile bills more than a 2.0 Park’s third. $2,704,012 against $2,553,650 in the 2.0 third quartile *, the format shifts the whole distribution.

What the fees come to

7% plus 5%, with a cap in reserve.

The royalty is 7% of monthly gross sales. The national advertising fund sits at 0% today. Local marketing is a required 5%, and the three advertising obligations together stay within 6% of sales.

The 7% royalty, the 0% national fund, the 5% local marketing requirement and the 6% combined cap are as the brand reported it. The sales figures come from the filed quartiles and our weighted averages. Every dollar figure is marked *.

The brand’s charge is flat, so it scales with the park. 12% of sales everywhere, from $156,114 at the lowest-selling park to $1,357,871 at the highest-selling *, an 8.70-times range on an 8.70-times range of sales.

The unused advertising point is worth $30,925 a year at the average park. 1% of sales between today’s 5% and the 6% cap *, and $113,156 at the largest.

What this filing does not disclose

No median. Only an average is published, which a few large locations can lift on their own.
No profit figure. The filing reports sales and not earnings, so what an owner keeps is not disclosed.
No cost lines. Wages, rent and cost of goods are not broken out, so margin cannot be rebuilt from the document.
No attainment figure. The filing does not say how many locations reached the average it publishes.

Questions worth putting to Urban Air

The filing answers what it answers. These are the gaps an owner or a buyer should close directly.

What do locations at the median spend on wages and rent as a share of sales? The filing reports sales only.
What separates the highest-selling locations from the lowest: trade area, years open, size, or the owner?
How long does a new location take to reach the average you publish, and what does the build-up look like month by month?
At what level of sales do the minimum charges stop applying and the percentage take over?
How many Urban Air locations closed, were sold, or changed hands last year, and why?
