💜🎀 MINNESOTA… THIS IS NOT A DRILL. 🎀💜

The WORLD'S LARGEST BOUNCE HOUSE is coming to Minnesota and obviously I have questions…

Mainly: how fast can I get there and is it socially acceptable for a grown Barbie to spend the entire day in a ball pit? 😂💁🏽‍♀️

The Big Bounce America is taking over the East Lot at Mall of America for TWO weekends! 🤸🏽‍♀️💜

📅 July 25–26 & August 1–2

And babes… we're talking 16,000+ square feet of bouncing chaos 😳

✨ Giant slides
✨ Ball pits
✨ Climbing towers
✨ A LIVE DJ in the middle
✨ A 900-FOOT obstacle course with 50+ challenges
✨ An alien-themed bounce zone 👽
✨ A giant sports arena filled with basically every bouncy ball imaginable 😂

AND THERE'S AN ADULTS-ONLY BOUNCE SESSION.

I repeat.

🚨 THE GROWN UPS GET TO BOUNCE WITHOUT THE KIDS. 🚨

Minnesota really said, “You have adult money… go buy a ticket to a giant bounce house.” 😂💜

Tickets are already on sale and sessions have limited capacity, so this one could sell out!

👇 WHO IS COMING WITH ME?!

Tag your friend who would absolutely throw their back out trying to beat you through the 900-foot obstacle course. 😂👇🏽
