I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
When was the last time you let loose and had fun? As adults, we tend to work too hard and take life too seriously. Even as a parent of four rambunctious kids and a playful puppy, I’m constantly having to give myself permission to just have fun. Well, fun is the name of the game at The Big Bounce America. Hailed as the largest touring inflatable event (and biggest bounce house) in the world, I recently took my four to The Big Bounce America when it came to Cincinnati, Ohio — and somehow, this event exceeded my (ahem) biggest expectations. This fall, The Big Bounce America is making its way across the country, and you’ll want to take a look at the schedule and see when (and where) this superlative inflatable extravaganza is stopping next.
If you have kids, you've likely been to an inflatable park or party. They're ubiquitous and a quintessential part of childhood nowadays. But in all honesty, these events are often a bit sad and lackluster... nothing more than a few half-deflated inflatables and droopy tunnels.
I was lucky enough to take my kids to The Big Bounce America at the Olympian Club in Cincinnati, Ohio, this September -- and from start to finish, the experience was nothing short of awesome! Or epic. Or fire. Or whatever the kids these days are saying...
The event features The World's Biggest Bounce House, of course -- but that's just one several larger-than-life attractions. There's also a massive inflatable obstacle course called "The Giant," a multi-story slide called "Air Space," and an inflatable sports arena called "Sport Slam."
When I say these inflatables are "big" -- I mean BIG. This is 16,000 square feet of pure, unadulterated, bounce-off-the-wall fun. The central bounce "house" is more of a mansion... a 32-foot-tall mega-mansion! The scale of these whimsical structures will make you feel as though you've fallen down a technicolor rabbit hole!
To maintain a safe and fun experience for all, The Big Bounce America offers different sessions, from toddlers to adults. Families of multi-aged kids can bounce together, too -- just enter your kids' ages to see what type of session you'll need to book. As a parent of four kids 12 and under, I really appreciated being able to book a session that would accommodate all my kids.
Please note: adults will need to purchase a parent/carer ticket to join the family bounce sesh!

Purchasing tickets to a massive inflatable playground might seem silly -- and it is. But it's the best kind of silly; the delightful kind of silly where you can let loose, make some memories, laugh with your kids, feel like a kid, and just have fun. What could be better than that?
So, what say you? Are you ready to jump, bounce, and tumble in the largest bounce house in the world? If this sounds like the ultimate family play date, then be sure to check out The Big Bounce America and see if it’s coming to a venue near you! And even if not, this traveling attraction is definitely worth an impromptu road trip to experience.
