World's Biggest Bounce House Returns To Prince George's With New Foam Party Bouncer

The world's biggest bounce house is returning to Prince George's County with new features and a new underwater-themed bouncer.

FORT WASHINGTON, MD — Prince George's County families can experience the world's biggest bounce house in Fort Washington May 10-25. This year, it's even bigger than before.

Big Bounce America, which has been Guinness-certified as the largest of its kind in the world, stands 32 feet tall at its highest point and this year's bounce house covers 24,000 square feet with additional features. It includes giant slides, ball pits, climbing towers and basketball hoops. New this year will be an under-the-sea bouncer, OctoBlast, which is part bouncer and part foam party. Jumpers will dive into a deep-sea world filled with ocean creatures, foam cannons, and live DJs spinning tracks from a pufferfish stage, all while dancing through giant Octopus tentacles.

The fun can be found at the Rosecroft Raceway, 6336 Rosecroft Drive, in Fort Washington. There are no fees for spectators to enter the event grounds. Only those planning on bouncing on any of the inflatables, require a ticket. Big Bounce America is a rain or shine event but in the event of severe weather including high winds, the organizers can cancel sessions.
