By Kiersten Laramee January 18, 2023

Bounce The Mall, a sensational inflatable bounce house festival, is making its St. Petersburg, FL, premier in its inaugural run at Tyrone Square on Saturday, January 28th, through Sunday, February 19th. Produced by XL Event Lab, Bounce The Mall brings colorful, inflatable fun to many of the most well-attended malls on the globe. This immersive family attraction contains  eight different interactive inflatables that are sure to put a bounce in your step! The traveling assortment of bounce houses includes an exhilarating 600+ ft. long obstacle course; a bottomless ball pit; a silent disco dome with live DJs, lights, and special effects; Sports Slam, a customized sports arena; tons of selfie stations to capture the bouncy spectacle; and so much more!  


Balls in the Mall 

‘Balls In The Mall’ elevates the Bounce The Mall tour by combining the jumpy joy of bounce houses with the excitement of ball pits. From inside the ball pit, guests can enjoy entertainment from a central stage, which hosts a talented team of live entertainers who turn the party up with different games and electric music. Guests who enter this vast sea of plastic balls should be ready to dive right into the fun! 


Headphone Disco Dome 

When entering the Disco Dome, guests are transported to the coolest night club ever created.  This igloo-shaped inflatable structure houses live DJs with free wireless headphones that allow each guest to choose their own beat to rock out to. The state-of-the-art lighting and special effects encourage guests to dance their worries away ‘silent disco style’. 

Sports Slam 

Sports Slam gives guests the ultimate workout by combining the most popular sports into one elite competition. This customized sports arena is filled with goals, nets, hoops, and balls of every size and type you could imagine! There are special zones for climbing and a ‘battle zone’ where you can compete against your family and friends to see who can stay on their podium the longest against an enormous wrecking ball.  


Rapid Race 

For all the thrill seekers, there is an over 600ft long inflatable obstacle course where friendly competition is strongly encouraged. There is an assortment of hoops to jump through, walls to climb over, candy cane poles to weave through, and a grand finale of a giant 6-lane sneaker-shaped slide finish line. This obstacle course is sure to get the blood pumping and provide one of the best workouts of your life!  


Additional Inflatable Interactives

There is a birthday cake themed circular moonwalk with giant presents, candles, and ball pits to get guests in the partying mood. The massive selfie stations, with larger-than-life props, make for the perfect Instagram moment. For the little tikes, there is a little bouncer castle built especially for younger jumpers. All of these inflatable fun zones are guarded by a 30ft tall unicorn who watches from the massive rainbow entrance arch. 

The event will also include a 'Bounce Cafe' featuring food trucks and a relaxing patio for grown-ups to sit back, relax, and catch their breath. 

Co-founder of XL Event Lab, Cameron Craig, describes the experience itself as a “playful inflatable festival set to turn parking lots across the nation into vivacious and vibrant springy wonderlands.” He continues, “We’ve developed a series of incredible attractions that are visually stunning and highly interactive specifically for this project. 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!”
