World's biggest bounce house comes to Raleigh

The world’s biggest bounce house is coming to Raleigh this week, complete with adults-only evening events, a DJ and more.

Featuring 20,000 sq. ft., The Big Bounce America will visit the MAC Sports & Entertainment field located near RDU at 8924 Midway West Rd. May 18 through 20.

The giant, colorful house features a basketball court, an obstacle course and a giant slide that drops you into a massive ball pit outside the main structure.

The event will also feature a professional DJ and confetti blasts -- making for the ultimate party experience.

In addition to the record-breaking main bounce house, a Bounce Village features additional bounce structures, including a separate structure for the younger bouncers. According to co-founder Grahame Ferguson, it took more than 18 months of dreaming and planning before The Big Bounce America came to fruition.

“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," said Ferguson. "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 it had a DJ booth, ball pits, foam pits, slides, and more!?"

Tickets are sold per session, with sessions split by age. Prices vary from $9 for kids and up to $25 for adults. The bounce house will be open from 2:15 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. on Friday and 9:15 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
