The biggest bouncy castle in the world is heading to Long Island next month
Ready to feel like a kid again? The world's largest bounce house—yes, a 24,000-square-foot inflatable playground—is bounding into Long Island next month, and it's bringing an entire festival of over-the-top fun with it. The Big Bounce America tour will set up shop at Broadway Commons in Hicksville from May 10 through June 1, offering four weekends of giant slides, ball pits, foam parties, obstacle courses, DJ sets and more. Tickets start at just $22 for a three-hour pass but, heads up: this event usually sells out fast, so snag your spot early. The star of the show is the World's Largest Bounce House, standing 32 feet tall and packed with everything from basketball hoops to oversized colorful characters. At its heart is a live DJ spinning tracks for games, dance-offs and general inflatable chaos, with special sessions for toddlers, families and even adults-only bounce parties. But that's just the start. Test your endurance on The Giant, a 900-foot-long inflatable obstacle course with 50 different challenges, or duke it out at Sport Slam, a bouncy arena packed with goals, hoops, nets and battle zones. Kids (and kids at heart) can also blast off at airSPACE, a space-themed zone featuring aliens, moon craters and a five-lane slide. New this year is OctoBlast, a deep-sea-themed inflatable foam party where you can dance under giant octopus tentacles to live DJ beats—because why not? As tour manager Noa Visnich puts it: 'We need more fun in the world—and what better way than with a 24,000 square foot bounce house?' We, of course, couldn't agree more.
