Best. Fathers Day. Ever. - Randy, Chris, Spencer, and Cooper gave our family an AWESOME and unforgettable day! In just 2 hours they had us up in the air, doing things that seemed so far beyond our boundaries at the start of the day. What an amazing experience! My husband and two teenage daughters were able to swing out, transition to hanging by their knees, and then get caught by one of the guys who was swinging on a separate trapeze. Our family looked like a high flying circus act by the end of the afternoon. (so bummed Google isnt letting me put up the video!) And the family members who joined us, but didnt go up on the ropes, enjoyed watching from the super comfy cozy lounge/viewing area. Everybody really enjoyed themselves regardless of whether they put on a harness and climbed a ladder or not. Thank you soooo much to all of you at the SBTC for helping my family make great memories - and feel like real daredevils! Oh - and BTW - comfiest merch every! We love the swag!

My niece was in town and I wanted to impress her with some fun activities -- the troupe at Santa Barbara Trapeze Co. did NOT disappoint! From the moment we stepped into their facility (a beautiful park in downtown Santa Barbara!) everything was top notch! Everyone was very friendly and encouraging, making us feel like we could certainly do this -- and we did! Because the instructors are all very supportive, patient, and give the clearest possible directions. Never did I think Id be swinging upside down, let alone flying into the arms of another trapeze artist, but thats exactly what happened!I could go on, but Ill end with what my niece and I couldnt stop saying to each other for the rest of the day after our lesson: that was SO awesome! Would I do it again? Without a doubt!

For context, I’m in my early 40s, athletic (e.g. spinner, street biker, hiker, etc.) but lack any background postured in gymnastics. Oh, and I have a nasty fear of heights. I had no idea what to expect when I signed up for this class on a whim while in town visiting. As a result of the thoughtful and knowledgeable instruction from the staff, I was able to fly about 6 or 7 times, ultimately, learning how to swing from the platform, hook my legs on the bar, let go of my hands (yes, while still hanging by my legs), and reach out to one of the instructors (shout out to Eric!) who then gripped my wrists as I released my legs from the bar allowing me to fly in a way I certainly did not think was possible! I highly recommend trying the trapeze, I felt safe—the equipment and instructors are very knowledge—and I had a freaking blast! If I can do it, you can do it! Just don’t look down before grabbing the bar…chin up, back arched forward, and eyes to the skies so you don’t psych yourself out! Hands down awesome experience!

If someone wouldve told me, I would be jumping off a trapeze platform and then jumping into the arms of another trapeze artist... I wouldve laughed in your face and said, thats what the professionals do. Well, I guess Im joining the circus because by my 6th jump, I felt like I had the skill set and CONFIDENCE to conquer anything. Our instructors were so motivating, patient and informative of every single step, movement, and sensation wed be experiencing once our feet left the earth. I never thought I wouldve done this and had the most fun and want to go back!!They even encouraged my 4-year-old to climb up and attempt a jump. She got a bit nervous at the top and wanted to come back down but just the fact that she was trusting them and felt safe with them made my heart swell. I cant say enough great things about them. This is perfect for social groups, corporate groups, team building, family outings, bachelorettes, or even a one on one morale boost.THANK YOU to Shane, Chris, & especially Drew (for catching me)!! Yall rock!!

A MUST DO in Santa Barbara! Located only a few blocks off of the main strip, Santa Barbara Trapeze Company was the best! I went on a Tuesday with the UCSB Family Vacation Center and had so much fun, that I went back that Saturday with my family for the Beginner class.If you have ever wanted to try trapeze or just have an adventure, this was awesome! They were able to teach all ages (there was a 5 year old in our group) and abilities to do a hanging knee catch at the end. As a second timer, I was challenged with a new trick, which was great! We definitely plan on coming back!For Locals, they have a variety of classes and offer camps for kids as well!

Attended my grandson’s Birthday party at Santa Barbara Trapeze and was impressed by the operation. The kids in the party were thrilled to participate on the trapeze. The instructors were outstanding, patient and through while teaching. The smiles on the partygoer’s faces were a testament to the fun they were having. They also had a trampoline setup for the kids to enjoy. They have lessons available.

My grandkids were in town from Idaho, ages 7,11,13. I had heard about the trapeze place from friends, but also my personal trainer, Brie, who works there. All the rave reviews are spot on. Excellent instruction, professional staff and a ton of fun. The kids had a blast! Definitely recommend the experience!!

I was so incredibly fortunate to spend four glorious days at Santa Barbara Trapeze Co! Randy Kohn and Shane Weaver run amazing classes and programs for people of all levels and ages. Every person in their staff is supportive, encouraging and so much fun! The outreach they do for the community is superb. Flying on a trapeze is so empowering and exhilarating! I recommend them 100% and will never forget some of the very best days of my life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️

If youre looking for a unique and exhilarating experience and the chance to hang out with some very cool coaches and instructors, Santa Barbara Trapeze Co. is your spot. From the moment we arrived, everyone was welcoming and put us at ease.Not only are they highly skilled and experienced, but theyre also incredibly patient and natural when working with both children and apprehensive adults. They understand that everyone has different comfort levels and will work with you to ensure that you feel safe and confident throughout the entire experience. Every inch of success is celebrated.There is nothing like flying throught the air, high above the ground, in a very short class, they had taught us so much: we were learned to swing, hang, dismount, and they even sprinkled in a few tricks. The lessons were tailored to our skill level, and we were pushed to try more when we were comfortable.The staff, Randy, Shane, Chris, Suzi, Travis, Cooper (and those Im missing) provided a top-notch adventure.As an educator, I just kept thinking, how do we get schools out here to participate in such a rich experience!

My son was invited to a birthday party here. He just turned six and was pretty scared about going. The instructors were so kind, gentle and direct- he timidly got up there and soared. He was so proud that he was able to do it and ended up having a blast. You cannot order confidence on Amazon — kids really have to go through experiences like this to build themselves up. I’m grateful we were invited and for the caring teachers — Shane in particular. Thank you all ! We will be back soon.

I flew four days at Santa Barbara Trapeze Co and it was AWESOME! Randy Kohn and his staff were so welcoming, energetic, and kind!They were excited to teach us how to fly regardless if we were beginners, intermediate or advanced flyers. We had a blast. I highly recommend taking one class or many!! Thank you, Randy!!

This was awesome!! Shane, Chris, Bri & Emma are super professional but also really fun and made us all comfortable, and they did it quick! In 2 hours we went from being on the ground to swinging to releasing and getting caught on the other side! So much fun, great people and beautiful scenery…if you’re at all thinking about something fun on your vacation as we are, or just want to try something new, you must try this with Santa Barbera Trapeze Co! Thank you for a great experience!!

Had the time of my life! One of those moments in life that you’ll never forget…definitely a “control save” of an incredible 2 hours. Amazing what could be taught & accomplished in a 2 hour time period…we learned how to in the end, swing from one trapeze bar to another person swinging on another trapeze bar…catching us!…never in my life did I think that would be me…& the great staff …who is super friendly, professional, incredibly knowledgeable & positive… knew exactly how to help each one of us arrive to that end goal, despite our different techniques. Completely recommend this to anyone willing to give it a try. Our kids, ages 12 & 15, can’t wait to go back.

My husband, 5 year old daughter, and myself did the trapeze class for a fun fathers day activity. It was SO much fun! I wasnt sure if my daughter would be comfortable, but she LOVED it and is already talking about going back. It was a good workout too - both adults were sore the next couple of days! We will be back for sure and I highly recommend this for both locals and visitors looking to try a new experience!

After watching one of their free shows, my 13 year old daughter couldnt wait to try it! The next day I brought her to an open level class and she she is hooked! They are located in a great little park and have nice, comfortable places to sit that are covered from the sun. The team is amazing and put safety as the highest priority. I never felt uncomfortable with what my daughter was doing. They are so welcoming, friendly and very professional. You can tell they love what they do. They provided step by step instructions that were clear and easy to understand. The open class was 2 hours and she got lots of time up on the bar and was taught several different tricks. There was also a birthday party going on at the other trapeze set up (there are two) and the groups were cheering for each other, such a fun and supportive environment! I highly recommend flying with them! My daughter will be going back soon!

Last year, our daughter attended a 5-days Trapeze Camp with a friend. At the end of the camp show, she was flying, doing silks and all sorts of tricks and acrobatic routines with the other kids. She had so much fun and absolutely loved the camp and immediately asked - Mom, can I have my birthday here? Fast forward ten months later, we did. Last weekend we celebrated her 11th birthday at SBTC, and this was the first time my husband and I had a relaxing time enjoying our daughter’s birthday as it should be. We let Ms. Suzi organize everything for the party; decorations, food, a personalized bday cake, our favorite drinks, great music, and a personalized trapeze experience with the most caring and professional team guiding the experience. Two hours later, everyone was flying/doing silks - what an excellent memory for all of us. So exciting and priceless!!!! Thank you, SBTC, for the fantastic celebration. You exceeded my expectations in every way!!!Our daughter has been enrolled in the Trapeze Master Class-a 2hrs once a week class for almost a year. Every Friday afternoon, she does the course. Seeing how comfortable she feels in her body, trusts in others, has self-confidence, and can-do attitude when learning more complicated tricks while finessing this fun craft has been a pleasure. We highly recommend SBTC and adore their team for their positive impact on our daughter.

Shane, Efe, and Chris were AMAZING coaches and cheerleaders. They are so fun, patient and kind. What an incredible experience. My daughter and I felt safe the entire time and we had an absolute blast. EVERYONE needs to do this. We had a 5 year old up to mid 40s adults in our group. Everyone was fantastic. No one was out of their comfort zone…even the littles. You don’t have to be an athlete or acrobat to have fun and do all of the things!! MUST DO if you are in Santa Barbara!!

We loved every moment of our time with Santa Barbara Trapeze! Everyone there was very friendly and welcoming. The coaches do an excellent job working together and explaining things simply and clearly. They were very encouraging the whole time we were there, and created a fun and positive atmosphere. Weve very happy with our experience and can’t wait to go back and learn more tricks!

Ive been to SBTC twice now, both for 4 day visits each. The staff have become friends. They are passionate about what they do, and care deeply about ensuring each and every person who comes through their doors has the best experience possible, no matter what level youre at. Theyre super supportive and encouraging. I dont think Ive ever been to another trapeze school where every single person genuinely embodies the culture like they do there.Randy has done a wonderful job choosing his staff, and you can tell he also cares very much both about both his trapeze community and the Santa Barbara community. There always seems to be school programs and corporate parties being planned and its so wonderful to see.Im not sure what else I can say besides that you need to go visit this place. Theyre always happy for passer-bys to come in, sit down and watch if climbing up the ladder and taking a swing isnt your thing.

I have nothing but great things to say about SB Trapeze kids camp! I had originally only signed my daughter up for 2 weeks not knowing how it would go. After day 1 of camp she asked for more weeks so we signed up for a total of 5 weeks during the summer. LJ and staff do an incredible job with regards to safety. They make it so fun for the kids and I never once feel like I’m not getting my money’s worth. I’m excited to sign up for a class myself! Thank you team!

My twin 10yo girls loved, loved the intro class! They were grinning ear to ear after the first “soar” and were absolutely giddy by the end of the class. The instructors were super encouraging and the safety protocols in place kept mama bear happy. Thanks for the wonderful experience and awesome memories!!

My son has been going to Santa Barbara Trapeze for a couple years. He has been able to overcome fears, learn new skills, and gain confidence. The staff is the best. They are able to push the kids while making them feel safe. They are all very positive and good at what they do. We would (and do) recommend Santa Barbara Trapeze to anybody. They also have trampoline, aerial, parkour etc. If you are interested, keep an eye on their website as they often have open house classes where you can come experience the facility for free.

I’ve been wanting to try Santa Barbara Trapeze Company for a while now – and their new location at Plaza Vera Cruz is so perfectly beautiful and enticing that I simply had to go. At the not young/not old age of nearly 45, I wasn’t sure how much I’d be able to do, but I did know it really looked like fun. I took flight for the very first time today, and I have to say, it far exceeded every expectation. I am still on a high from my day flying! The rigging of course, is perfectly professional, but the team – wow – they are simply exceptional instructors. Each and every team member worked together and with the students as if it were a beautifully choregraphed performance – so perfectly in tune with each other that it is easy (and fun) to follow their leads. I felt safe 100% of the time. While I went alone, there were 8 other people in this class, each at different ages and experience levels. Every single person is challenged, supported, encouraged, and instructed flawlessly. It was pure joy to be out of my head and simply flying – listening to their cues to learn what to do and how to improve. The flow of the session works really nicely – you get enough of a break so your body doesn’t tire out too much (and you get to watch and learn from others), but not so long of a break that you get antsy or bored. They have chalk for your hands, a shaded spot to sit, parking is easy, and the instructors are true artists. I’d recommend this many, many times over.

My 15 y.o. grandson was visiting so we signed him up for trapeze class. He’s a football player so this was totally outside of his element. When Shane told us that he would be back flipping, hooking his legs on the bar to then be caught by Spenser, we didn’t believe him. But, he, Spenser, and Oliver are superb teachers and coached my grandson to make these maneuvers on a small bar while swinging high up in the air. Even my grandson was skeptical of his abilities to accomplish these acrobatic trapeze maneuvers and when he did, he felt amazing of his accomplishments.Shane, Spencer and Oliver made the class fun and you feel totally safe in their hands. They play great music for us people on the ground so it a great vibe and 2-hours “fly” by (pun intended).If you’re looking for a unique, fun experience, I highly recommend trapeze lessons.

Our recent team event at the trapeze place was nothing short of exhilarating! From the moment we stepped into the vibrant atmosphere, it was evident that this experience would be unlike any other team-building activity.The trapeze instructors were not only skilled but also incredibly encouraging, creating a supportive environment for everyone to push their boundaries. The initial safety briefing was comprehensive, putting any apprehensions at ease. Once harnessed up, we took turns flying through the air, performing acrobatic moves, and experiencing the rush of adrenaline.What truly set this team event apart was its ability to foster teamwork and camaraderie. Trust is paramount when swinging through the air, and each member of the team played a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and successful performance. The cheers and applause from colleagues on the ground created a sense of unity and encouragement that resonated throughout the entire event.We cannot wait to come back! I will certainly be brining all of my teams through Santa Barbara Trapeze Company!-Kristen Reilly, SVP, Elevo

On the NEXT LEVEL. FANTASTIC. Took our daughter and a few of her friends to the SBTC over the weekend for her 8th birthday. Everyone had a blast from our 4yr old to their Dad!The group of men and women that work here are amazing, energized and love their jobs. They are engaging, great educators, fun, funny, and instilled confidence in all of us. We all wore SMILES!Smile makers! Get there and have a blast.

We did a private group party here the evening before our wedding and it was phenomenal. Ditch the boring rehearsal dinners and get yourself to Trapeze instead!We had Package B (up to 10 adults) and ended up with less fliers than expected, which turned out to be excellent for how much time each of us had on the rig. We also had some family just spectate and they also had a great time. The instructors are fan-tastic, with really great personalized tips and help, very clear guidance, and just a super fun demeanor. Everyone was able to complete all the tricks, including being caught. Suzi was great for coordinating our event ahead of time and answering all our questions. We definitely got the bug a bit and want to come back for a class next time we are in town. HIGHLY recommend SBTC for a group activity you wont forget.PS. Los Agaves did amazing food for pickup, highly recommend them as well for any after trapeze noshes.

I was nervous about going, but honestly it was one of the coolest experiences Ive had in Santa Barbara. I felt completely safe from the training and the capable instructors, and the exhilaration from landing the catch and release on my first attempt was unreal. I want to go back soon.

This is an INCREDIBLE experience!! I have never done anything like trapeze before, but the instructors are very supportive and make the whole experience very doable. Randy did a great job scaffolding up to more advanced actions, and all the staff gave wonderful advice. The equipment is very safe and you are being supported and strapped in the entire time. You would be surprised what you can do! Definitely worth trying at least once (though you might get hooked!)

Had an excellent experience at Santa Barbara Trapeze Co! Was really easy to book my two daughters for a 2 hour class and had a great time. The staff were great, they put all the first timer at ease and were so good with instructions. My oldest daughter had flown pretty regularly years ago and they were so good about finding out what she could try. She was happy that she could push herself with a new trick. Id recommend them for any level flyers, they really have a great organization. And as a super extra special bonus we got to watch the Flying Royals crew practice afterwards while eating delicious tacos next door. A+, highly recommend.

We had a PRIVATE CLASS for my BFFs birthday & it was a BLAST! She had one request, To do something we can laugh at our guys for trying, I know I hit the nail on the head with a private TRAPEZE class. From my initial inquiry to the final flying catch, the TEAM at SB TRAPEZE was superior in their service. All of my questions & worries were addressed in my multiple calls prior to the class, upon arrival their enthusiasm was infectious! Our group included kids and adults, and each of us were met with help that seemed tailored to our particular skills & trepidation if present. Of course the kiddos were fearless & immediately took to the rig, for those of us a bit more apprehension, the team was reassuring, comforting and at the same time encouraging with a cheerleader attitude. The class was full of LAUGHTER, EXCITEMENT & MEMORY MAKING EVENTS. If you are looking for an activity, family friendly, that gets your blood pumping and creates joy in your life, I highly recommend SB TRAPEZE.Our families would like to THANK the fabulous crew for all of their hard work and over the top encouragement to keep our party entertained, and providing my GF with the gift of laughing at our guys for trying something... Lovingly laughing, obviously!

Santa Barbara Trapeze Co was so much fun! Each trainer was incredibly helpful and provided unique tips. I was brand new to flying trapeze, but Shane, JP, Ryan, and Efe helped me advance enough to be caught during my first class! There were people of all ages in the class - if youve got hands, you can fly. Definitely will be back again!

Locals and summer vacationers: If youre looking for an after school activity or summer camp that will really change your childs life - building confidence, making best friends, and having a total blast SB Trapeze is the way to go! Every one of the instructors is absolutely amazing with children. Youll be supporting a local business that is known for giving back to the community too. The kids final performance celebrates their accomplishments and was my favorite part. My 10 y.o. daughter completed the spring break camp and cant wait to go back!

I flew in from Sydney Australia and happened to be in Santa Barbara for a week. I had been taking flying trapeze classes for 9 weeks in Sydney and didn’t want to miss out on training and was lucky enough to find this place. I ended up booking classes three days in a row. The staff are so lovely and my swinging has improved significantly! They even had me working and catching my layout - something that I thought I wouldn’t be working on until next year.I very much look forward to coming back and flying with SBTC when I’m back! I can’t recommend it enough x

I took my 10-year-old son for the first time yesterday. He had a really great time and is eager to go back. The staff was very professional and so encouraging! When my son succeeded, his coach was so happy for him. I really appreciated the coach’s energy and enthusiasm. Also, there were children in the class, teenagers, young adults, and an adult in his sixties. My son really enjoyed talking to everyone taking the class. They were also very nice and encouraging. There was a comfortable sitting area for me to sit at and also, I could easily sit in my car and watch the class. Our family has been very careful to follow Covid rules to keep ourselves and our community safe, and I felt very comfortable with my son being outside and with the masking and distancing. This is a very nice option to get exercise, learn a new skill and meet new people during the pandemic. My son can’t wait for his next class!

Such a fun experience! Ive flown twice before, so it was nice to have a little more flexibility in how the lesson was run - customized to different experience levels. The staff were all friendly and supportive. I felt safe with the equipment. The location was fabulous in the newly revamped Plaza Vera Cruz. I cant wait to go back again!My son tried flying for the first time after watching his older brother have a blast in the summer camp. He was nervous, but with the support of the friendly SB Trapeze Co staff, he got to try this amazing new experience at the pace he was comfortable with and had a great time!

Had the most incredible life-changing experience at the Santa Barbara Trapeze Company. The staff Shane, Efe, Travis and Elli made what could have been a frightening experience into an absolutely joyful one. At 50 years old, I cannot believe the acrobatics that I was able to accomplish with their nurturing and loving approach. Their clear, concise and kind communication was able to cut through the blur of my fear, allowing me to achieve feats I never would’ve thought possible. And that was at the first class! Safety precautions are taken at every step, making what feels scary into actually a very safe activity. Not to mention the cool furnishings and design, made us feel like we were hanging out at a hip outdoor lounge. I can highly recommend this school to anyone of any age!

I signed my just turned 13 son up for a week of camp this summer. When he arrived and saw so many little ones he was freaked out! Suzi, the director, skillfully spoke with him and convinced him to keep an open mind and just try it for 1 day, no pressure. He agreed and is glad he did: He LOVED it. There were a couple other dudes for him to group with and each day he came home wanting to share what they had done and how great all the coaches were.

OMG! This was totally the coolest experience ever!! For my best friends birthday, we treated her to a surprise intro class and it was so worth it.Admittedly, I was definitely the most nervous to give it a go but I am SO happy I did. Even thought it was super scary, everyone was so patient, supportive and encouraging!I am so so thankful for their encouragement because I wouldve totally missed out if it wasnt for Chris, Spencer, and Carter!In fact, it was SUCH a great time that I am already planning a solo trip back for another round!! It is about 1 hour, 45 min away but soooo worth it!!!Thanks again to Chris, Spencer, and Carter for helping us celebrate our best friends birthday, we had a blast! 🤪

We were taking a trip to Santa Barbra and came across a flying trapeze class. Randy let us in to watch and it looked really fun! We booked a class for the next day and all the other students and coaches were really welcoming. This was my first time ever so Shane told me what to do and what to expect. Once I got up the ladder he made sure I felt comfortable and I start to swing! It’s the funnest thing ever! they strap you in for your safety even going up the ladder! On my last turn I got to do a trick I never knew I had in me! 100% recommend coming here!! When I come back out to Santa Barbra I will for sure come back!

Absolutely amazing!!! One of the most exhilarating experiences I have had in a bit. Safe, experienced, encouraging staff and so much fun!!! Originally I signed up my daughter and her two friends but when I got to the site I realized I had to do it. It is beautiful to watch the talent and expertise of the instructors, hear their stories, and see them encourage everyone. Additionally the equipment felt extremely safe and supportive to allow getting over any anxiety or fear and really dive into what feels like flying. Our group had an age span of at least fifty years between us starting at 13 and everyone was able to participate, fly and flip and smile. I am so grateful for santa barbara trapeze co.

This was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. Everyone at Santa Barbara Trapeze Co is professional, welcoming and so fun to be around. It was a special day for my daughter and I and we both LOVED the very unique activity of the flying trapeze.The teams explanation was clear, their support and encouragement made us feel very safe and relaxed. Great fun for everyone and all levels. We will be back for sure!!

My partner and I stumbled across SBTC while walking by the park. They were super friendly, and invited us to hang out and watch, answering any questions we had. We signed up for a class a couple days later and had a blast! All the safety measures felt top notch, including a clip for the ladder climbing.We had a surprising amount of success in only one class with various different moves, thanks to the experience and support of all the awesome staff! Give it a shot and you will certainly surprise yourself too!

I am very grateful that we now have something as fun and adventurous as Santa Barbara Trapeze Co in town now. It is so great that there are offerings for those who are passing through or for tourist as well as a great option for the locals with package deals to really get into learning the art. I felt encouraged and supported the entire time. Everyone who works there is very genuine and caring. Thank you for creating a safe space for people to overcome some fears and learn to trust that the people around us are here to support us. Definitely going back ASAP!

Our family had a wonderful experience at Santa Barbara Trapeze Co. Shane and the whole staff are amazing. We were visiting from San Francisco and I emailed them regarding their COVID 19 protocol. Shane responded promptly via email and telephone. I knew from our phone conversation this was going to be a really fun experience. His enthusiasm was contagious over the phone. The whole staff was so supportive, encouraging and fun. Their passion for this art is amazing. It was a fun progression of building on what we learned so it was never dull. Our kids (9 and 7) had a blast. Would be a really fun birthday party place or just family outing. We will definitely be back the next time we visit Santa Barbara. If you are looking for a fun activity to get off the hamster wheel of life, this is it!

This was the most exhilirating experience I have had in a long time! I was in a class with 3 other people, 2 were experienced, and 1 was a newbie like me. I really liked how Shane, Chris and Cooper organized us, and taught the two of us who were new, such that we didn’t slow down the 2 more experienced flyers. Brief instruction on the ground, and then you climb up to the platform, where they tell you step by step what to do and when to maximize your experience. Because we had such a small group, as soon as we completed one flight, there was only a short pause before heading up again. I would do this again in a heartbeat!

My grandkids (12, 10, 9) have done this 3 times and have had a ball. The instructors are GREAT. It is a wonderful experience for beginners and at the end of the first hour, the kids were letting of the trapeze and being caught by an instructor. Can’t wait to do it again. Worth every penny. They were so scared on the first try, but the instructors made them and me feel safe.

Trapeze must be one of the worlds best kept secrets. It makes sense. From a viewers perspective, the barrier to entry looks like it would be years (and maybe a few brain cells). But as SB Trapeze Co’s website suggests, pretty much anyone can have a blast at trapeze. Both my wife and I did way more than we expected on our first day, and were super impressed by the skills of others who had only been a few times. It helps that the teachers are all top notch, and they have really gotten their class repertoire down to a science. Their energy and enthusiasm was contagious, and the way they walk us through the progression in our first class made it easy to forget any fear or insecurities and focus on becoming awesome. Their marketing doesn’t lie…. Flying trapeze is an exhilarating feeling that you can’t understand until you try it. Get out there and impress yourself with what you can pull off in one two-hour session. Thanks to the crew for being rad. We are lucky to have this here in SB!

My Four year old son had an awesome time trying out the trapeze. The staff was great with kids, I even cracked a few jokes. I felt as though he was safe the entire time. He keeps asking when he can go back. It was recommended to me by a friend who took her son and decided to do it herself also. So great for adults too! In addition it was recommended by a friend who enrolled her kids in summer camp. Something fun and different to try out.

Was visiting from the UK and we spotted the rig a couple of days into my trip. Yesterday morning, whilst planning a trip to SB market she looked at the website. ‘How about this?’ she asked. 2 hours later we were strapped into harnesses and ready to do it. If you have any doubts about doing this, cast them aside. It’s terrifying, life affirming and great fun in equal measures. The guys who work with you are amazing and you feel safe and held - literally and in actuality! A totally unforgettable experience that leaves you full of adrenaline and feeling a huge sense of achievement. Love. Love. Love.

I had the most incredible time flying for the first time. The staff members were attentive, professional, helpful, organized, hard-working, talented, and kind. They seemed to each care personally that I was having the best experience possible. They are serious about their work without being intimidating; fun without overlooking safety. I can’t think of any way they could have done a better job. I hope to go again one day. I’ll never forget it.

The class was absolutely amazing. I’m deathly afraid of heights. I could never make myself go past the third rung of a ladder, I freak on Ferris wheels (even enclosed ones). I only wished to accomplish getting up to the platform and taking one swing. I got halfway up the ladder and began to freeze. I could feel my fear starting to break me down. Randy, Eric, Chris, Shane, & Kit all encouraged and cheered me on. And I was given excellent instructions. I made it all the way up. And I Got my goal accomplished. I’m impressed with myself. And totally impressed with the entire team. They knew exactly what to say to help me fight my way through intense acrophobia. Next time im in Santa Barbara, I plan to return and take another 2 hour class. Goal will be to go at least a few times. And…..I battle with fibromyalgia. Chronic pain, muscle spasms, sometimes muscle weakness. So fears of “would my hands just let go of a rung”…was present. But….knowing that I was in safety gear…helped me not worry so much. I felt safe…while fighting my fears. If you’ve ever thought you’d like to try swinging on a trapeze…if you are looking for a unique adventurous fun thing to do on your vacation…You Must come to Santa Barbara Trapeze Company!

SB Trapeze Company is such a gift to the SB community. We took our extended family here over the holidays and everyone loved it. A unique experience, a bit of adrenaline rush, and just a lot of fun.

We took the whole family over the holiday for a unique and exciting outing. We really didn’t know what to expect. The first time you climb up and grab the pole it is a. It daunting but within an hour all of us were swinging and transferring. The staff is amazing and they walk you through every step patiently. Tons of laughs and great covid safe exercise! We bought a 20 pack at the end because everyone wants to go back again and again to learn new tricks. It’s safe, tons of fun, and something that really bonds your family and friends.

I suffer from FOMO watching all of my sons activities. With SB Trapeze Co, they actually train adults as well. I signed up the day after my sons summer camp and am going to sign up for the multi week program now. It was so much fun and the group was varied. The team is very helpful, professional, they provide great feedback and have you doing tricks your first day. I loved it!

Santa Barbara Trapeze is awesome! As someone that’s spent a fair amount of time doing trapeze, all the instructors (I had Shane, Efe, Ryan, JP, and Randy) are high quality. There are many instructors in each class so if you’re looking to advance your tricks, you can always find some feedback. But, if it’s your first time, they’re incredibly supportive—watched them coach several kids and adults in the first time, and every student had a smile on their face. Will definitely be coming back after I get over my soreness!!

I had a lot of fun as a beginner! The instructors made sure that I was comfortable with each step before doing it, and encouraged me when I was very nervous. Over the course of the two hours I learned a lot! Also the other people varied in skill levels which was really cool to watch, and they all were super encouraging to me and each other. Also it was very safe and professionally ran. I definitely intend to go back

Not only is this a super fun way to spend some hours flying (safely) through the air. But all the staff and students are super nice and welcoming. The park is a beautiful place to spend time as well.

I would always pass by this trapeze place on my way home, watching people soaring through the sky, and was very curious to try it out. On my 14th birthday, I decided to check it out. I signed up for a two hour lesson with Santa Barbara Trapeze Co. It was honestly the most amazing thing I have ever done. We arrived a little early to fill out the wavers, then we put on safety belts and they explained to us what we would be doing. There are opportunities for everyone whether youre really experienced or have never done it before. Everyone working there was so kind and cheerful. They gave a very thorough explanations on what we would be doing and, as you were swinging, they walked you through all the steps. They also photographed you the whole time and you can get awesome pictures of yourself flying through the sky when youve finished. This place is super-safe and just a very fun location to come to. I came here with no knowledge of doing anything related to trapeze, and left knowing how to swing upside down and do a backflip. I highly recommend it. This was a 10/10 experience.

Im still reliving the thrill of my lesson at SBTC!! I saw the nets set up at the park soon after arriving in SB for a short vacation and couldnt get them out of my thoughts. So...I signed up for a lesson- best decision ever! The team provided clear instructions laced with humor that made it easy to follow. Although they provide instruction to the whole group ( the number of students in a class at one time is small and makes for very personalized instruction), the instructors coach you individually as you begin your next flight, right before taking off, and again as you finish. Without chatting with each other they had individually identified the exact same adjustment I needed to make which provided not only great coaching, but also encouragement-- Each time we flew the success and improvement was celebrated and a next step identified. This personalized coaching resulted in doing so much more than I could ever have expected as a 61 y.o.but!!! It was absolutely exhilarating!!! As so many have said: safety measures are tip top, instruction top notch, feeling of community established so quickly you felt as though you could chat with them all day!! My only regret...I dont live there to take more lessons! Thanks for an awesome, memorable, and inspiring afternoon SBTC!

Santa Barbara Trapeze Co was such an amazing experience. Not only did my daughter came back talking consistently about how fun, educational and amazing it was, I went on a flight myself just watching her! I love how the staff and community at SBTC is kind, safe and engaging and they equally connect with their learners in an outstanding way. Overall, Santa Barbara Trapeze Co is 5/5 stars because of it’s amazing staff, quality training and joy it brings to its students. - I believe I can never take that smile off my daughter’s face! Thank you for an experience that was un-imaginable!

Ive flown on a lot of different rigs with a lot of different teams in the 30 years that Ive been doing trapeze and this school is one of the best! Shane, Efe and the whole team have such a great combination of being easy-going while at the same time totally attentive to safety.They provide great feedback and are always encouraging during that sometimes frustrating period of learning a new trick. The equipment is incredibly well maintained. The lines were the smoothest and easiest lines Ive ever flown in - it was almost like flying out of lines. I couldnt believe how much less effort it required to fly on their rig compared to what I was used to. Cant wait to fly with SBTC again soon!!

I had a wonderful time flying at Santa Barbara Trapeze School. I went with a friend, who is 63 and just started going there regularly a couple months ago. I liked it so much, I took my three siblings the second time. The class was just the four of us that day, so we got to learn to do some fun tricks.The team is very professional and friendly. They learned everyone’s names and gave us lots of feedback on how to improve, and were so encouraging and supportive, which made us more eager to learn. They also make sure they follow safety precautions, so we all felt safe and free to fly.Tyco climbed up on the opposite trapeze bar from where we were swinging, and got great shots of us in action, so we can post them on social media and show them to friends and family later.Whether you’re experienced in trapeze, or a beginner,it’s a thrilling activity for any age. It’s low impact, but you will still break a sweat at some point. It’s a unique experience you can take your friends from out of town to, or train there regularly and become a pro if you wish.Either way, you’ll have fun and be in good hands. The teachers are very skilled and experienced. Shane, Effe, Eric, and Ryan were working that day, teaching and keeping us safe.I’ll be going back again soon. I think every able-bodied person should try it once. Maybe you’ll get hooked like I did.

Santa Barbara Trapeze Co was fantastic I highly recommend it to anyone!! You don’t need to have a background or know anything they will work with you and help you be able to swing on a trapeze bar and even do some flips off. I was with multiple people who have never done any acrobatic stuff and everyone was doing the same thing throughout the whole class with no problems. If you are looking to have some fun and try something cool that most people don’t do I would definitely sign up and have some fun!!!

Returned to SBTC today about one year after my first class, and it was just as awesome as I had remembered. These guys are pros—not only at their art form, but also at making their students feel safe, respected, excited, and like part of the trapeze family. There’s really no feeling quite like jumping off a platform high above the ground, swinging into open space, and being 100% confident that you’re in good hands. These days, when so many activities are on hold, it’s amazing to find an outdoor class that’s exhilarating, social, and SO MUCH FUN. Can’t wait to fly again. Oh, and my 5-year-old daughter is a fan, too.

I love the Santa Barbara Trapeze School! I’ve missed having an activity that’s social and engaging and physical and also feels safe—even though youre flying through the air and theres a pandemic. They take your temperature on arrival, everyone’s masked, it’s outside in lots of UV sunlight with a breeze, and there are shady distanced comfy chairs. If you’re a flyer who’s been to other rigs: the safety lines are light, the net is soft, and the instructors are experienced, professional, and encouraging. They’ll give you confidence and good coaching. If you’ve never tried it before, just go! You’ll love it.

I am an avid flyer and love to visit different rigs when i am in the neighborhood. The instructors at this rig were incredible - very experienced and knowledgeable. They gave me fantastic coaching while making me immediately feel at home. I plan to take more classes there even though it is a 2 hour drive each way from where I live. I highly recommend this business to everyone from first-timers who want to try a new experience to the most experienced flyers.

Ive flown at eight different circus schools and The Santa Barbara Trapeze Co is the best. I regularly make the drive from LA to Santa Barbara for classes because the staff is so great and the rigs are top notch. SBTC has become a haven for professional flyers to teach and hone their craft. That give amateurs like me the opportunity to learn from the best. Theyre also great with beginners and always create a fun, supportive environment for people of all ages and abilities. Flying trapeze is a thrill and easier than you might imagine, and SBTC is a great place try it. Its also the place to go if youre an advanced flyer who aspires to develop your skills and fly professionally.

I just moved to town and wanted something fun and active to do in a safe and social setting - Santa Barbara Flying Trapeze did just that and more.Despite the environment being outdoors, there is shaded canopy areas with comfortable chairs and plush turf grass to stretch on. They offered me a cold beverage during my class which was a nice touch.Shane, Ryan, JP, and Efe gave direction that was digestible, made the class fun, and understood each flyer’s coaching needs despite being very different ages(13-50) and experience levels(2nd class ever-10 years). There was a young girl about 7 years old in the class before me that the staff helped her progress through her trick gracefully.I’ve flown before on and off in a different city but struggled to fall correctly into the net and improve my “seven” in my swing. In the past, I didn’t get either of those despite flying frequently and improved significantly in just one class.JP & Shane helped guide me through my fear when I was on the platform, Ryan taught me how to fall properly in the net, and a special thanks to Efe for making me grips out of tape so my hands wouldn’t tear open. THANK YOU ALL!PS this is a great date idea for couples!! My first time ever doing this was a birthday present from my boyfriend years ago and was so much fun!

I kept seeing the trapeze setup at Earl Warren as I passed by on the freeway. I decided to check it out. I went to their website and signed up for a class. I arrived a bit early and the instructors were in the midst of finishing up a lesson w/ a group of kids who were there for a birthday party. Learning how to trapeze with all your friends on your birthday: cool idea. The team of instructors were doing great with the kids. They were friendly, relaxed, and professional.Going in I was a little nervous about being slow to learn, and hesitant about being up so high. There were 4 other people in the class. They were of all ages, shapes and sizes. That was comforting.The class started w/ a quick intro/orientation. Safety was the top priority. They explained that we’ll be in a safety harness the whole time, so if you happen to fall, which everyone does, they just slowly lower you down onto the net below.So up the ladder I climbed to the platform from which you jump while holding onto the trapeze bar.“Uh oh. I don’t know if I can do this.” I thought.But the instructors where great cheerleaders and providers of emotional support. I soon realized that they where teaching me how to face my fears and break mental blocks as much as they were teaching me about how to swing on a trapeze. Off I went……and it was FUN!At first, everyone of us was scared and hesitant. But after the first jump from the platform, we were off to races. By the end we were all joking, laughing and cheering for each other. Check them out. It’s good times.

We just had our sons 11th birthday party with Randy, Shane and JP at their beautiful new facility at Earl Warren. What a blast! 6 eleven year-olds, all eager but certainly timid about climbing up that ladder at first. But after the careful safety instruction and strapped into the secure harness they were all willing to try. After the first time they couldnt get back up there quickly enough. Swinging on the highest swing they had ever been on, doing a back-flip into the net, learning to hang by their knees, and finally, all in a few hours, reaching out and flying into the catchers strong arms! Wow! If this wasnt an experience they will never forget, I will be very surprised.P says, Its really fun and you actually learn how to do it!J says, Its great with a group of friends because you can encourage each other.The instructors were very good with the kids, patient and clear.Even a 6 year old little sister wanted to try and they helped her.The set up allowed us to have the cake and ice cream right there. All of the parents stayed for the entire time and fun was had by all.Thank you Randy and Shane and JP. This is a great addition to our town and will probably be very busy very soon.

Ahh! I’m in love with SBTC! They are all so friendly and welcoming, such an upbeat atmosphere. The staff is very well-trained and knowledgeable, which really aided in me feeling safe and secure while flying.I’m a person who gets very frustrated when something isn’t working (i.e. attempting a trick while flying). They were very reassuring and kept working with me until I nailed it! 15/10 recommend!

Ten months after a hip replacement I decided I was ready to attempt my dream of flying through the air with the greatest of ease... well, it was scary as all get out to approach my class, and what I was met with was confident, encouraging and a family like atmosphere where every person present (staff and students) cheered for the person on the deck... what a great experience! We had seven year olds and an almost sixty year old! Every step of the way safety was foremost in their minds and, by default, ours. And when it became clear we were done, we got a bonus round where they gave us a taste of what the next class would focus on. What a life experience! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This is a family experience! Anyone can do it if I can! :)

Had an AMAZING day with Efe, Shane, Ryan and JP learning how to FLY! With varying levels of expertise among the group we were in everyone was able to get through the first lessons and get the catch! Ill address most peoples first excuse... ITS NOT SCARY. The team there makes everything very relaxed and instill the right confidence to ensure everyone is successful. Ill definitely be going back for more.

Everyone here is awesome. As an experienced flyer who is just passing by, they made me feel welcomed for the two sessions I attended, and let me try the tricks I wanted to do. They also have two really nice rigs and the facilities are top notch. Thanks everyone for having me!

Samantha had the best time. She was a little apprehensive at the beginning but could not stop talking about her time at Santa Barbara Trapeze. She is planning her next time and the time after that already. The staff was helpful and attentive and did a great job communicating with my 11 year old daughter!!

The staff are absolute rockstars. Shane, Randy, and Efe are experts at what they do and made me feel safe the entire time. Its surprised me how accessible (and fun!) flying trapeze is for first time flyers. Anyone can do it and have a blast! So worth it. Will be back to learn new tricks.

Super friendly, super helpful and attentive, they give you the correct directions and pointers to help you execute everything as you should. Super fun experience. When you go take a tip: Trust the equipment, people, and follow instructions to the letter and youll have a fantastic time.... Youll have a fantastic time anyway, but if you want to pull off all they are trying to get you to do, listening is key!
