'World's Largest' Bounce Park Coming To Cherry Hill

CHERRY HILL, NJ — Cherry Hill mall-goers are about to witness some serious inflation (the fun kind).

A traveling bounce park is coming to Cherry Hill Mall's parking lot. With 25,000 square feet of continuous jumping zones, FUNBOX bills itself as the "world's biggest bounce park."

FUNBOX will open Friday and run from Friday through Sunday each week until late October in the parking lot across from JCPenney (see hours below).

Based in Southern California, FUNBOX brings its massive inflatable parks all over the country and beyond. The "bounce park" features a range of attractions, including Marshmallow Mountain, Temple Tower, the Ninja Wall and an obstacle course.

At each stop, FUNBOX supports a small, localized community charity that advocates for children in foster care — an initiative inspired by founder Antonio Nieves's upbringing with nine younger siblings in the foster system.

Despite its tagline, FUNBOX does not hold a world record. Another company holds the Guinness-certified "world's largest bounce house" accolade at 24,000 square feet. But FUNBOX uses the tagline to highlight its offerings, according to Randall Deleonio, the company's regional marketing coordinator.

"FUNBOX does not currently hold an official world record for the 'world's biggest bounce park,' but the term is a registered trademark of our brand," Deleonio told Patch via email. "We use this designation to highlight the expansive nature of our bounce park experience, which stands out in the industry."

Tickets will cost $19 during Cherry Hill's grand-opening weekends (this Friday through Labor Day and Sept. 6-8). Admission is good for 80 minutes of bouncing.

People of all ages can enjoy the kid-friendly fun, but children under 13 need to bring a parent or care giver. For children 5 and under, a parent or carer must accompany them on the inflatables.

Hours And More Info

FUNBOX will operate in Cherry Hill on weekends, starting this Friday and running until Oct. 20.
