Urban Air Adventure Park is using app-exclusive family giveaways to connect digital engagement with real-world entertainment. For National Adventure Day, the company is distributing more than $10 million in free unlimited play passes exclusively through Unleashed Brands’ KidHub app. Families that download and register for KidHub by October 9 receive one pass to a participating Urban Air location, while existing users receive the same reward. Tickets remain valid for 45 days, giving families flexibility when planning their visit.
Making the giveaway exclusive to KidHub turns a large promotional campaign into an app-acquisition opportunity for Unleashed Brands. The free passes can introduce more families to Urban Air while expanding KidHub’s user base and creating a channel for promoting other youth-focused experiences. The extended redemption window may also encourage additional visits, bring friends or family members into parks and strengthen engagement beyond National Adventure Day.
