Giant bounce houses for adults are coming to Milwaukee and Madison this summer
Remember some of the most fun birthday parties you attended as a child?
Whether at Pump It Up or in your friend's backyard, at least some probably included a bounce house.
Now, you can revisit this high-flying, nostalgic fun as an adult when the Big Bounce America brings its eight giant touring inflatables to Madison and Milwaukee this summer. The lineup includes the expanded "World's Biggest Bounce House," ― it's 32 feet tall and covers over 24,000 square feet.
The Big Bounce America offers three-hour jumping sessions, each tailored to different age groups, including adults only sessions. That means it's a unique opportunity to unleash your inner child, spend time outside with friends and family, or even get in a workout.
Here's what to know.
When is the Big Bounce America coming to Madison and Milwaukee?
The Big Bounce America is coming to the Madison area from Friday, June 21 to Sunday, June 23. The bounce houses will be set up at Angell Park Speedway, 315 Park St., Sun Prairie.
According to the Big Bounce America's website, its attractions are coming to Milwaukee from Saturday, Sept. 7 through Sunday, Sept. 15. Tickets and more information will be available soon.
What attractions are included in the Big Bounce America?
The World's Largest Bounce House: This attraction covers an area of over 24,000 square feet and is 32 feet tall at its highest point. Inside, you'll find giant slides, ball pits, climbing towers, basketball hoops, giant couches and chairs, and various oversized characters. A stage in the middle features a DJ playing music tailored to each age group and hosting games and competitions.
OctoBlast: The new OctoBlast inflatable lets you jump and dance on the tentacles of a giant, inflatable octopus. "You will jump into a deep-sea world filled with colorful ocean creatures, colossal foam cannons and live DJs," the Big Bounce America website says.
Sports Slam: This inflatable features a "customized sports arena filled with goals, nets, hoops and balls of every size and type you could imagine." You can compete against 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 900 feet 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 your friends and family or bounce around at your own pace.
airSPACE: airSPACE is a "space-themed wonderland" spread across three different inflatables. There is a gigantic five-lane slide, a 25-foot-tall inflatable alien at the center of three ball pit "craters" and a "Spaceman" jumping moon base.
