Ever catch yourself staring at a kid’s bouncy castle and wishing you were still allowed on one, without the worry of deflating the whole thing? We don’t blame you. There’s good news for all you kidults though, the world’s largest inflatable theme park is coming to Melbourne in April for two weekends only and your dreams will finally come true.
Think a 300-plus metre bouncy theme park with 50 different obstacles to bounce over PLUS a space wonderland and the biggest bouncy castle in the world (Guinness World Records approved). You won’t even have to worry about accidentally stomping on anyone because there's going to be adults-only sessions. Yep. Totally. Kid. Free.
The Big Bounce Australia, as it's called, will have you rocketing around and bouncing up, down and off giant slides, ball pits, basketball hoops, climbing frames and beach balls—and that's just The Bounce House.
You're going to need to save some energy for The Giant, with over 50 obstacles to tackle, from giant red balls to rainbow spirals a zone of inflatable giants. And when you’ve finished, it’s time to catch your breath and hit AirSpace, where an 18-metre high maze, more ball pits and epic slide themed with aliens and spaceships will leave you in serious need of a nap.
This grown-up’s playground will be heading to Melbourne in 2022 from Friday 15 Aprll for two weekends, setting up at Flemington Racecourse
Tickets will set you back $59pp for the adults-only sessions, which gets you three hours of fun on all the obstacles. But the joy of all your childhood dreams coming true? Priceless.
