Adventure brief

All Day Pass

Turn an urban field into a giant playground with the All Day Pass — unlimited access to the World’s Biggest Bounce House, a 900-foot obstacle course, Sport Slam, and airSPACE. Perfect for families visiting Philadelphia or Oaks, PA; these events often sell out fast.

At the Navy Yard's Shelby Field on Admiral Peary Way in Philadelphia, and drawing families from nearby Oaks, Pennsylvania, the All Day Pass turns a municipal lot into a candy-bright playground built from air. This ticket grants unlimited access to the World’s Biggest Bounce House, The Giant - a 900-foot inflatable obstacle course - Sport Slam’s bouncy competition arenas, and airSPACE’s intergalactic slides and ball pits. It’s loud, physical, and purpose-built for kids who treat gravity like a suggestion.

Giant in scale and simple in intent, the centerpiece attractions are immediate: the World’s Biggest Bounce House holds scheduled sessions with DJs, confetti blasts, and climbing towers that spill into ball pits; The Giant stretches nearly three soccer fields with more than fifty obstacles that test balance, timing and sheer grit; Sport Slam converts bouncing into dodgeball, basketball and family battle zones; airSPACE layers themed props and moon-crater ball pits for tactile, imaginative play. The color-saturated vinyl and inflated architecture create a surreal, photo-ready landscape uncommon in most open-air rec spaces. What sets this event apart in the region is its scale and touring pedigree - it’s a purpose-built, rolling festival of inflatables that converts everyday fields into an all-ages challenge course and party ground.

Parents appreciate the single-ticket simplicity: drop-off is straightforward and supervision zones are clear, while kids get open-ended play that builds coordination and confidence. Because the event occupies public field space at the Navy Yard and other urban venues, it also brings family-centered recreation to neighborhoods where large play installations are rare. Bring sneakers and a clearly labeled water bottle, and plan for periods of intense activity punctuated by rest.

The organizers run scheduled sessions for safety and flow; lines move faster when groups stick to posted time slots. Younger children will love airSPACE and Sport Slam, while older kids and preteens gravitate toward timing challenges on The Giant. This is festival-style play - noisy, energetic and a little unpredictable.

It’s ideal for birthday groups, multigenerational outings, and anyone researching family-friendly things to do around Oaks, Philadelphia, or the greater Delaware Valley. Book early: these events frequently sell out, and an All Day Pass is the simplest way to soak up the whole program without juggling multiple tickets. In short: if your trip planner includes a child-sized appetite for epic bounce, this is the go-to, crowd-pleasing option.
