Ready to bounce into the weekend? The "World's Largest Bounce House" is bound for Downtown Jacksonville.

It lay as a field of plastic Thursday morning on the lawn of Riverfront Plaza (the former Jacksonville Landing site), but it will spring to life Friday through Sunday.

Big Bounce America bills the attraction as the biggest touring inflatable in the world, with four massive elements: a 16,000-square-foot bounce house; a Sport Slam sports arena; a 900-foot-long obstacle course The Giant; and a space-themed area called airSPACE.

Three-hour tickets range from $22 for toddlers to $41 for adults, according to the Big Bounce America website.

Tickets and more information are available here.
