‘World’s biggest bounce park’ coming to Alabama

An attraction dubbed the “world’s biggest bounce park” is coming to Alabama.

Funbox, a 25,000 square-foot inflatable playground will debut at The Shops of Grand River in Leeds on March 1. Located in the shopping center’s front parking lot, Funbox will have 10 play zones, including the  Tumble Temple, Marshmallow Mountain, Gumball’s Gallop, and an obstacle course.

Mustafa Saleemi, Funbox franchisee for Birmingham, said the attraction is different than others in the area.

“The whole family can enjoy the park together and really let out their inner child. Funbox promises to astonish and enchant families with its endless opportunities for screen-free enjoyment,” Saleemi said in a statement.

For grand opening weekend March 1-3, admission will be $18 with a portion of the proceeds going to two local foster organizations, Heart Gallery Alabama and Garret’s Place.  Heart Gallery is a non-profit that connects youth in foster care with adults to provide stability and guidance; Garret’s Place serves foster children and the families who care for them by providing for basic needs, connection and support. They provide suitcases, clothes, books, toys, school supplies and other items to children entering the foster system.

Funbox will be at The Shops of Grand River from March 1 to May 19 and is offered for ages 2 and older. Tickets must be booked online. Friday bounce sessions begin at 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday sessions begin at 10:30 a.m. You can see more here.
