The company is a private joint-stock enterprise dedicated to the R&D, manufacturing, marketing, and servicing of amusement and play equipment. Liben Group operates two major production bases with a total factory area exceeding 50,000 square meters and a monthly production capacity of 10,000 square meters.

The brand is a registered trademark of Liben Group, covering services including training, toy rental, kindergarten, entertainment services, amusement park services, and education.

As a true manufacturer, not a trader, Liben Group designs, engineers, and produces premium commercial trampolines and FEC attractions in-house, with dedicated metal parts, plastic parts, soft parts, and spare parts workshops.

2. Investment Cost Comparison by Attraction/Functional Zone

Investment costs for trampoline parks are heavily dependent on venue size, equipment selection, and functional zone configuration. The following analysis is based on Liben Group's data and industry benchmarks.

2.1 Investment Cost Comparison by Venue Scale

Venue Scale  Liben Group Reference Investment  Industry Reference Range

Medium venue (10,000–30,000 sq ft)  —  $100,000–$500,000

Large venue (20,000–30,000 sq ft)  —  $1–3 million

Cost Breakdown for a 6,500 sqft Venue:

- Core equipment investment: approximately 40%–50% of total

- Venue renovation and decoration: approximately 30%–40%

- Operations launch, marketing, and working capital: approximately 15%–20%

Cost Breakdown for a 21,500 sqft Flagship Venue:

- Professional trampoline equipment and diversified functional zones: approximately 35%–45% of total (core investment)

- High-standard themed decoration, air conditioning, fire protection, and lighting: approximately 35%–40%

- Smart ticketing systems, professional team building, marketing, and working capital: approximately 20%–25%

2.2 Equipment Cost Comparison by Attraction Type

Different functional zones have significantly different equipment cost profiles:

Free Jump Area: The most basic functional zone with relatively simple equipment and lower cost per square meter. Includes trampoline mats, springs, and frame structures.

Professional Trampoline Area: Utilizes higher-specification springs and jump mats. Liben Group uses imported American trampoline mats, Dutch AkzoNobel powder coating, and piano steel wire springs (with tensile deformation resistance five times that of manganese steel). Equipment costs are significantly higher than standard jump areas.

Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course: Includes suspension bridges, monkey bars, foam bags, wall flips, hanging ladders, A-frame single bars, step discs, incline climbing nets, floating bridges, swing bars, obstacle walls, and more than ten functional modules. With high equipment density and complex structures, investment costs far exceed single-function trampoline zones. Ninja courses can be built as independent projects or integrated within parks but require professional structural engineering support.

Climbing Walls and Expansion Zones: Require professional climbing equipment and safety systems, with costs falling between standard trampoline zones and ninja obstacle courses.

Foam Pit and Ball Pit Zones: Require large quantities of high-density foam blocks and specialized pit structures, with relatively high material and maintenance costs.

Soft Play and Children's Zones: Designed for young children with high equipment density but relatively lower per-unit equipment costs. FunXpert offers various themed soft play solutions, including Meland-style indoor soft play playgrounds with ball pits, slides, and stages.

Industry data shows that equipment costs for commercial trampoline parks typically range from $25 to over $50 per square foot, depending on the complexity of the functional zones. Liben Group's factory-direct model can help investors save 20%–30% on investment costs compared to using intermediaries, with equivalent quality.

Additional Investment Considerations:

- For projects under 10,000 sqft, installation is guaranteed within 7 working days after site delivery standards are met

3.3 Pricing Model Differences

International Trends: European and American trampoline parks commonly adopt a combination of membership subscriptions and hourly billing. Membership models help lock in long-term customers. Some brands use tiered pricing where different wristband levels unlock different attractions—lower levels cover basic trampoline access, while higher levels unlock more complex facilities.

Domestic Trends: Chinese trampoline parks tend to favor per-visit billing and time-slot packages such as parent-child tickets, all-day passes, and group purchase tickets. In recent years, combo packages combining "trampoline climbing foam pit" have emerged, offering savings of over 40% compared to single-attraction tickets.

FunXpert / Liben Group Recommendations:

Liben Group places special emphasis on helping investors build diversified revenue systems:

- Member top-up and annual passes to lock in long-term stable customers

- Birthday parties, corporate team-building, and school events for high-value group revenue

- Trampoline fitness and children's physical training courses for recurring cash flow

- Snacks, beverages, and themed merchandise to increase per-customer spending

Weekday Utilization Strategy:

Liben Group has developed a proven methodology to address the common "busy weekends, slow weekdays" challenge. By introducing exclusive "Children's Sensory Integration Training Courses" and "Adult Calorie-Burn Trampoline Classes" during non-peak hours, weekday occupancy rates can be increased from 30% to over 65%.

4. Investment Return Analysis

Case Study: a large combined trampoline equipment investment of RMB 2 million achieved an average daily foot traffic of approximately 100 visitors. With a ticket price of RMB 100 per single visit, the investment was recouped in approximately two months.

Industry Benchmarks:
