Located in the heart of Adelaide, South Australia, The Big Bounce Australia offers a unique, high-energy inflatable adventure specifically designed for kids up to 15 years old. The Bigger Kid Session is not just another kids’ activity—it’s an immersive playground of four standout attractions that pack three hours of non-stop fun into a single ticket. The flagship of this experience is the Guinness World Record-holding Jumping Castle, an enormous inflatable structure filled with climbing towers, basketball hoops, slides, ball pits, live DJs, and even confetti blasts that keep the energy electric.
Adding a fresh layer of excitement is Sport Slam, a dynamic sports arena featuring dodgeball, basketball, soccer, and various competitive zones framed by inflatable walls. This space ignites friendly rivalry and physical play, perfect for releasing kids’ boundless energy. Then there’s The Giant, Australia’s largest inflatable obstacle course, spanning over 300 meters and boasting 50 diverse challenges.
Designed for thrill-seekers with a ninja warrior spirit, it invites kids to climb, crawl, and race through a physical playground that tests agility and endurance across its massive sprawling layout. Completing the experience is airSPACE, an intergalactic-themed zone brimming with slides, ball pits, and a standout 20-meter maze. This cosmic playground captures imaginations with its alien motifs and out-of-this-world atmosphere.
Set inside Adelaide’s Bonython Park Oval, this event brings a bright, active alternative to typical outdoor recreation in the city. It appeals to families seeking a day out where kids can move freely, engage physically, and build memories through playful competition. The Big Bounce Australia distinguishes itself by combining scale, variety, and a festive vibe, making it a must-visit destination for active families in Adelaide.
