Bounce houses and inflatable slides are big fun, and the biggest will be coming to Georgia in April.

The Big Bounce America, which is making a 44-city tour, includes the largest inflatable bouncy castle, as certified by Guinness World Records. One of those 44 cities is Evans, just outside Augusta.

For 2020, the bounce house is 30 percent bigger, now measuring more than 13,000 feet.

“In addition to housing basketball hoops, climbing towers, giant slides, and a massive ball pit, the bounce house features the Big Bounce resident DJ/MC at the center of the fun, who plays a carefully curated soundtrack to reflect the audience at each of the sessions,” Big Bounce America states in a press release.

Big Bounce America will have sessions for ages 13 and older, so you can bounce with abandon and not worry about falling on a small child.

Each three-hour session is for either juniors (ages 7 and younger), all ages, or ages 13 and older. So if you’ve always wanted to try this but worried about falling on or trampling a small child, now is your chance to kick your shoes off and get your bounce on.

Added to the tour this year is Sport Slam — an inflatable sports arena filled with goals, nets, hoops and balls — and the Giant, a 900-foot-long course with more than 50 obstacles to tackle.

Tickets are $25 ($22.50 for military), but just $10 ($9 for military) on Friday or Saturday night buys you an hour to bounce your heart out. Tickets can be bought online through eventbrite.com.
