    The 'world's largest bounce house' returns to Houston stadium in March

    If you've ever wanted to cavort about in a bouncy castle half the size of the White House, now is your chance. The Big Bounce America is returning to Houston with the world's largest bounce house from Friday, March 14 through Sunday, March 16, and Friday, March 21 through Sunday, March 23 at SaberCats Stadium, home of Houston's rugby team. Tickets are available from the official website.

    Standing 32 feet tall and with 24,000 square feet of inflatable jumping space, the world's largest bounce house contains slides, ball pits, towers to climb, basketball hoops, and a ballroom (jumproom?) in the center manned by a DJ. The construction is a marvel of the whimsical arts, dwarfing anything that visitors have seen before at their local birthday parties and carnivals.

    "We need more fun in the world, and what better way to bring that into 2025 than with a 24,000-square-foot bounce house," says Noa Visnich, tour manager of parent company The Big Bounce America. "The Big Bounce America is the perfect event for kids and adults alike to get out of the house and enjoy an outdoor event like they’ve never experienced."

    The world's largest bounce house is only one of several attraction The Big Bounce America is bringing to the city. Families can tackle a 900-foot obstacle course themed around fighting a kaiju that ends with a massive monster slide. Gamers will enjoy the Sports Slam area where a variety of ball games pit teams against each other. The airSPACE combines bottomless ball pits with inflatable alien menaces to create an immersive interstellar experience, while the Octopath is an undersea foam party.

    When CultureMap covered the world's largest bounce house three years ago, it was only a mere 16,000 sq ft. Now it's 50 percent larger and, presumably, bouncier. The exact scientific relationship between the size and enjoyability of expanding an inflatable attraction to a historic degree is unknown, but Houstonians should have a wild time exploring the possibilities.

    "We invite all kids, and kids at heart, to kick those sneakers off and party on," says Visnich.

    It's no surprise that most of the worst movies in any given year tend to come from big studios, as the big budget marketing campaigns behind those films build up huge expectations that are then dashed when audiences see what little effort was put into making the movies broadly appealing. Whether it was too much fan service or too little understanding of what it takes to make a story coherent, the worst movies of 2025 were barely worth watching, either in theaters or at home.
