Currently touring America, but bouncing into Philly for the first time ever, Big Bounce America is certainly not your everyday blow-up attraction.
A kid jumps at entrance to one of the big bounce play areas. The Big Bounce America runs through September 10th at the Navy Yard.It rises out of a clearing at the tip of the Navy Yard, like a giant, inflatable kingdom, the candy-colored turret of the world’s largest bounce house poking over the treetops.opened
At Shelby Field, on the grassy banks of the Delaware River, it spreads out like an inflatable fairgrounds. The bounce house alone, with its giant slides, climbing towers, ball pits, basketball hoops and DJ “bounce floor,” covers 16,000 square feet, said McPherson. Plus, families can race their way through the giant obstacle course, joust on podiums and battle the “wrecking ball” in the sport slam arena, and moonwalk through the ball pits of the space-themed wonderland.
“By the end of the first lane, most adults are tired,” McPherson laughed. “The kids, they get it done.” McPherson said Big Bounce America expects upwards of 20,000 visitors during their Philly stay. It takes planners, armed with giant, electric blowers, only about 10 minutes each morning to inflate the world’s largest bounce house, she said. An impressive feat, no doubt to any parent who’s spent double that breathing life into a backyard kiddie pool.Ed Trautz, 40, of Stratford Township, was the first inside the park, with his sons, Oliver, 7, and Elliot, 6.
