Get ready to jump into fun at one of New Jersey's latest family attractions! Bounce the Mall, an inflatable festival that claims to have the largest ball pit on the planet, will make its way to the Mills at Jersey Gardens as part of its inaugural tour, Saturday, Aug. 12-Sunday, Sept. 4.
Curious about what exactly Bounce the Mall is? As an immersive family attraction, Bounce the Mall will offer eight different interactive inflatables for kids to enjoy. The traveling assortment of bounce houses includes the huge ball pit, a silent disco dome with live Djs, lights and special effects, a customized sports arena, and tons of selfie stations to get optimum photos to capture your experience.
There's something extra for foodies, too. The event will include a Bounce Cafe, featuring food trucks and a relaxing patio for grown-ups to sit back, relax and catch their breath.
Produced by XL Event Lab, the event is popping up at malls around the country as part of a collaboration with mall real estate investment trust, Simon.
“We’ve developed a series of incredible attractions that are visually stunning and highly interactive specifically for this project, Cameron Craig, co-founder of XL Event Lab, said. “From the largest ball pit on the planet to an inflatable silent disco dome, we’ve focused on making this event unique and hugely entertaining for every age. This is family-friendly entertainment unlike anything ever produced.”
