'World's Biggest Bounce House' Fun For All In Calverton

CALVERTON, NY — For every adult who's ever watched longingly as their kids let loose in the bounce house — here's your chance.

The "biggest bounce house in the world," is making its way across the United States and Wednesday through Sunday, it's making a stop in Calverton.

According to a release, the bounce house will be making people happy across America through November, visiting 29 states and 59 major cities.

"Featuring 10,000 square feet of inflatable elation, The Big Bounce America is the most memorable, exciting experience of the year! Sure, kids will fall in love with the giant candy colored structure, but the adult-only night sessions are what make this event so special," a release said.

Big Bounce America is also surrounded by a new Bounce Village, which features additional bounce structures, including a four-piece inflatable obstacle course, a giant ball bit, a massive slide, and a separate bounce house for the kids. Bounce Village adds 10,000 square feet to The Big Bounce America, bringing the grand total to 20,000 square feet.

Grahame Ferguson, co-founder of The Big Bounce America, describes the response the concept has generated: “We had amazing success with our 2017 tour. Every city we visited seemed to build on the excitement of the last," he said. "The bounce house became a viral sensation with over 20 million people viewing The Big Bounce America videos. We received tremendous feedback from an incredible number of participants near and far, which sparked the idea for Bounce Village and also for many of the cities we’re visiting this year.”

It took more than 18 months of dreaming and planning before The Big Bounce America came to fruition, he added.

“We were producing an event as part of a big musical festival and the organizers had created a small family section, which included a fairly standard bounce house. When the kids weren’t using it and nobody was looking, we snuck on and bounced around like were kids again. Then it dawned on us: What if we made a much bigger bounce house? What if we built the biggest one in the world? What if adults could bounce?
What if it had a DJ booth, ball pits, foam pits, slides, and more?"

Big Bounce America will be at Long Island Sports Park, 159 Edwards Ave. in Calverton, from Wednesday through Sunday.

Tickets are sold per session, with sessions split by age. Prices vary from $9 for anyone attending the toddlers’ session up to $25 for a special adults’ only session. Entry to Bounce Village can be added to a ticket for an additional charge.
