Melbourne is set to become Australia’s bounciest city this summer as The Big Bounce Australia begins its national tour at Flemington Racecourse from 26 December to 11 January. Timed to coincide with the school holidays and the post-Christmas need for outdoor activities, the event brings a wide range of inflatables and interactive zones designed for families, teenagers and adults.
Covering more than 1,500 square metres, The Big Bounce Australia features a series of major attractions that combine physical activity with play. The centrepiece is the World’s Biggest Jumping Castle, an inflatable structure containing slides, climbing features, ball pits, basketball hoops and a central performance area with music and hosted activities. Alongside the castle sits a 300-metre obstacle course consisting of more than 50 challenges, a space-themed airSPACE zone with slides and elevated platforms, and a sports arena designed for team-based games and fast-paced movement.
The event offers several session types to ensure the experience suits different age groups. Toddler Sessions (from $40 per person) are designed specifically for little ones aged 3 and under, creating a gentler, age-appropriate environment where parents or carers can move through the inflatables with them. Junior Sessions (from $50 per person) offer a more controlled setting for children up to age 7, allowing families to enjoy the park together while ensuring younger kids have the space and pace they need. Bigger Kids Sessions (from $50 per person) cater to children up to 15 and provide a more energetic experience with full access to the inflatables suited to their age and confidence level. Adult Only Sessions (from $55 per person) run separately and give adults dedicated time in the inflatable park without younger participants, creating a more high-energy, playful environment for grown-ups to enjoy.
“We are pleased to begin the tour in Melbourne, where there is strong demand for active, outdoor entertainment throughout summer,” said Noa Overby, Tour Manager for Big Bounce Australia, “The Big Bounce offers a broad mix of activities that appeal to a wide range of ages and encourages people to get involved in something that is both social and physical.”
With the event operating during the peak school holiday period, organisers expect tickets to sell quickly. Flemington Racecourse offers convenient access via public transport and provides extensive space to accommodate the inflatable structures and visitor numbers.
