Get ready for high-flying fun for all ages – Big Bounce America is bringing its world’s largest bounce house and seven other giant touring inflatables to Milwaukee’s Henry Maier Festival Park.
The world’s largest bouncy castle, measuring 32 feet tall and 23,000 square feet, and other attractions including Big Bounce America’s Sports Slam inflatable sports complex and The Giant obstacle course are coming to Milwaukee the first weekend in September.
The Big Bounce America offers three-hour jumping classes, each tailored to different age groups, including adult-only classes. That means it’s an opportunity to unleash your inner child, spend time outdoors with friends and family, or even get in a workout.
What you should know:
When is Big Bounce America coming to Milwaukee?
The Big Bounce America will be at Milwaukee’s Henry Maier Festival Park, 639 E. Summerfest Place, Friday, Sept. 6 through Sunday, Sept. 8. The bounce houses recently made a visit to Wisconsin when they opened in the Madison area in July.
What attractions are included in Big Bounce America?
- The largest bouncy castle in the world: This attraction covers an area of over 2,300 square meters and is 9.7 meters high at its highest point. Inside you will find giant slides, ball pits, climbing towers, basketball hoops, giant sofas and chairs, and various oversized characters. On a stage in the center, a DJ plays music tailored to each age group and hosts games and competitions.
- OctoBlast: The new OctoBlast inflatable lets you jump and dance on the tentacles of a giant inflatable octopus. “You’ll be immersed in a deep-sea world filled with colorful sea creatures, giant foam cannons and live DJs,” says Big Bounce America’s website.
- Sports Slam: This inflatable device offers a “personalized sports arena filled with goals, nets, hoops and balls of every size and type imaginable.” You can compete against your friends on the climbing tower or see who can stay on their podium the longest in the “Battle Zone.”
- The giant: This inflatable obstacle course is over 274 metres long and features 50 obstacles culminating in the ‘grand finale monster slide’. Each obstacle also has a slightly easier, ‘kid-friendly’ option. You can race against your friends and family or hop around at your own pace.
- Airspace: airSPACE is a “space wonderland” spread across three different inflatable attractions. There’s a giant five-lane slide, a 25-foot inflatable alien in the middle of three ball pit “craters,” and a moon base where astronauts jump.
