The Big Bounce America – Milwaukee 9/6-9/7

The Big Bounce America is the largest touring inflatable event in the world, and it is coming to Milwaukee from September 6 through September 8. They have four different sessions to choose from, from a toddler-friendly time all the way to adults only. This is one activity that the whole family can enjoy. The Big Bounce is made up of five different bouncy attractions because the house doesn’t even begin to describe these.

1.     The World's Biggest Bounce House covers an area of over 24,000 square feet and has multiple activities and attractions to keep you busy! This attraction has a dedicated time slot to prevent overcrowding. They even have a 20-foot-tall, multicolored rabbit that you can climb inside!

2.      The Giant—This is one of their most popular attractions. At over 900 feet in length, you will have to face 50 different obstacles to get to the finish line! This attraction is great for all ages, as it has a slightly easier option for small children or adults.

3.     Octoblast—Be sure to bring a towel; this attraction has all the foam! One of the newer attractions this year, the Octoblast is part bouncer and part foam party, but all fun. You will enjoy seeing different sea creatures as you bounce around the center Octopus!

4.     Air Space –This attraction comprises three smaller bounces. First, start your space journey with the 5-lane super slide, then cross the moon base to finally get to the moon crater ball pit. This is one space adventure that is safe for the whole family!

5.     Sport Slam – Sports fans, this is for you! This bouncer has a customized sports arena filled with nets, goals, hoops, and balls of every size. There is a ‘battle zone’ where you can challenge your family or friends to stay on the podium the longest.
