Set beneath the wide skies of Cumberland, Maine, The Big Bounce America stages a three‑hour, toddler‑exclusive pop‑up: a brightly colored inflatable wonderland built for the smallest jumpers. The session concentrates age‑appropriate attractions — from the World’s Biggest Bounce House to the intergalactic City Xscape and Sport Slam play zones — and is run as a controlled environment so parents and carers can watch children explore at their own pace.

THE PLAYSPACES

World’s Biggest Bounce House, City Xscape and Sport Slam

Three distinct inflatable zones concentrate the experience: expansive, free‑form bouncing in the World’s Biggest Bounce House, themed soft‑play exploration in the intergalactic City Xscape, and simple, energetic games in Sport Slam — all scaled and scheduled for toddlers.

THE FORMAT

A Toddler‑Only Session for Focused Play

Sessions are restricted to children aged three and under, creating a calmer, predictable environment where caregivers can accompany and supervise without older children in the mix.

THE OPERATOR

Run by The Big Bounce America — Portland ME

The pop‑up is operated by The Big Bounce America’s Portland ME team and presented as a weekend attraction with select toddler sessions scheduled alongside larger junior and bigger‑kids slots.

What the day feels like

What the Session Feels Like

The session unfolds as a contained three‑hour window of high‑contrast color and soft motion: caregivers and toddlers move between open bounce fields and smaller themed inflatables, punctuated by simple games and guided play. Because the event is curated for ages three and under, the tempo is deliberate — more exploration than competition — and the layout emphasizes sightlines and comfort for supervising adults.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this session suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Families with ToddlersIdeal: children aged three and under accompanied by at least one paying parent or carer (16+). The session is designed to minimize interactions with older children and allow close supervision.
2
Caregivers of InfantsAppropriate if infants are being worn; very young infants worn while on the inflatables do not require a ticket, but the infant must remain with an accompanying adult.
3
Families with Older ChildrenNot a match for children aged four or older — those children are excluded from the toddler session but may attend Junior or Bigger Kids sessions elsewhere in the weekend program.
4
Adults without ChildrenNot suitable: adults (16+) who are not accompanying a child are not permitted to participate in the toddler session.
