The Big Bounce Canada Touring Inflatable Attraction in 2025

From late June to early July, Vancouver plays host to the amusement attraction The Big Bounce Canada. The Big Bounce contains what they call the “World’s Biggest Bouncy Castle” as well as a series of other inflatable attractions to enjoy.

The Big Bounce is for folks of pretty much all ages. There are designated time slots for different ages so that younger children can have their time to go with only others of similar ages, and adults can enjoy it without worrying about having a bunch of kids running around them.

The Big Bounce tour first came to BC in 2023 when it was set up at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds in Surrey. In 2025 The Big Bounce is in the Lower Mainland from June 28th to July 6th. It’s unclear (as of mid-April) where exactly the inflatable attraction will be this year.

Location and Admission

Last time it came to BC, The Big Bounce was at Cloverdale Fairgrounds in Surrey, located at 17798 62nd Avenue. The site is most well-known for hosting the Cloverdale Rodeo in May of each year. The 2025 location is to be confirmed.

Tickets to The Big Bounce are for three-hour timeslots. They are booked for specific times as the attraction rotates between sessions for different age groups over the course of the day. The admission prices for each of these sessions in 2025 are as follows:

Toddler Session (ages 3 and under): $32
Junior Session (ages 7 and under): $49
Bigger Kids Session (ages 15 and under) : $49
Adults Only Session (ages 16 and up): $65

For the toddler session every child must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Adults can also choose to accompany their children for the Junior and Bigger Kids sessions if they’d like. There is no fee for standing outside the attractions and watching but if an adult joins their child on the attraction they must purchase their own ticket (for the same price as the child).

There is no minimum age for any of the three kids sessions. A 5-year old could join in on a Bigger Kids session, it’s just recommended that children stay within a session designated for their age range. The 16+ age minimum for the adults session, however, has no exceptions.

The Five Attractions

The Big Bounce contains five distinct sections. Attendees have unlimited access to four of them over the course of their three hours. The World’s Biggest Bouncy Castle, however, can only be accessed during a specific time slot indicated on the ticket.

All attendees must wear socks and no shoes when inside all of the sections. There are “entry zones” at each of them where you can place your shoes before going in and then put them on again afterwards to walk between the different parts of The Big Bounce.

Below are details on each of the five sections.

World’s Biggest Bouncy Castle

This attraction lives up to its name as it’s a bouncy castle that’s over 16,000 square feet in size! Within the castle there are plenty of places to climb and objects to play with. There’s even some oversized couches for those who want to relax and take in what’s unfolding around them. The castle also includes a slide that finishes in a ball pit outside of the enclosure.

As mentioned above this is the only part of The Big Bounce that doesn’t give unlimited access during the three-hour timeslot. That means if attendees want to make the most of their trip they must be careful to not miss the designated time they have to explore the castle.

The Giant

The Giant is a massive obstacle course that’s over 300 metres long. It loops back and forth across the fairground and contains 50 different obstacles to get through. There are objects to climb, bounce across or slide down. To accommodate those of all ages and abilities there is an “easy” option for each of the obstacles alongside the regular version.

Guests have unlimited access to The Giant so they can run through the course as often as they’d like. The same is the case for all of the remaining sections.

Octoblast

Octoblast is a new addition since 2023, and appears to be the smallest of the five sections. There’s a giant octopus in the middle of the bouncy inclosure but no major obstacles or slides or other stuff of that sort.

What it does have, however, are plenty of things to bounce off of and a number of different sea creatures around the edge and in the middle of the section.

airSPACE

The main feature of this section is a giant five-lane slide to race down. There’s also a series of ball pits and other decorative bouncy areas (definitely smaller than the main castle though).

This section is also a little more chill than some of the other ones. There’s still the big slide to provide some action but there are no obstacles and fewer places to bounce around on. It also seems like potentially the best place to get some pictures taken.

Sport Slam

As the name implies this section is built to host a series of different sports games. The main ones are dodgeball and basketball with hoops to dunk on. There’s also soccer, climbing walls, and a “battle zone” where friends and family can climb onto podiums and try and knock each other off.

There is a designated Big Bounce referee who marshals the different big games that take place. For those who are competitive this is the spot to try and take the crown in various games.
