After spending a busy year touring the country, Big Bounce Australia – the world's most ridiculous, amazingly oversized inflatable park – is about to bounce on out of here; but not without paying a visit to Melbourne first.

Covering more than 1,500 square metres, this colourful, bouncy theme park is a fun day out for both the young and young at heart. At its centre is the world’s biggest jumping castle – a mega air-filled palace featuring slides, climbing towers, ball pits and basketball hoops. Things get wilder in the middle of this huge structure, with a DJ pumping tunes that reverberate through the inflated halls while confetti cannons blast and beach balls fly around.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. Big Bounce features four other supersized zones of bouncy goodness, including a massive 300-metre obstacle course made up of more than 50 challenges. There’s also a space-themed section complete with a five-lane slide, an intergalactic alien zone, and a massive sports arena.
