If you, like me, are always looking for new and fun things to do, the World's Largest Bounce House is coming to Fort Myers.
I've seen pictures of The Big Bounce America in different towns around the U.S. but now it is finally coming to Jet Blue Stadium in Fort Myers October 20-22. According to a press release, The Big Bounce America is the only Guinness-certified world record holder of The World's Largest Bounce House. How big is it? It stands at 32 ft. tall and covers an area of over 16,000 square feet. Inside, you'll find slides, ball pits, climbing towers and basketball hoops. There will also be a DJ playing music, hosting games and fun competitions. And that's not all! There's also Sports Slam, The Giant (perfect for those Ninja Warriors fans) and airSPACE.
Is this just for kids?
No! This is an event fun for all ages. There will be sessions for toddlers, juniors, bigger kids and adults-only. There is also a time when the whole family can play together.
All Access tickets are available now starting at $22 and include a 3 hour pass to the event. Tickets are expected to sell out, so I recommend purchasing them early. For more info on the World's Largest Bounce House coming to Fort Myers and a link for tickets, click here
3 Southwest Florida Ice Cream Shops Named Best In State
Today (September 22) is National Ice Cream Cone Day, not to be confused with National Ice Cream Day in July. The cone makes a big difference. Any ice cream lover will agree. And now that there is an excuse to celebrate, we thought you should see this latest list featuring Naples, Fort Myers and Punta Gorda. These Southwest Florida ice cream shops named best in state. The rankings come from the folks at Trips To Discover.
Tomorrow (September 23) is the first official day of fall so why not have one last hurrah for a dessert typically associated with summer. Especially when considering it feels like summer almost year round in Southwest Florida. However, as any dessert lover knows, it does not have to be summer to enjoy this sweet treat. Ice cream is fun and it makes the world better. Even when you are sad.
Ice cream has been around for a long time but there is some debate on the cone. The eatable receptor for ice cream is said to have made its big debut at the World's Fair in St. Louis back in 1904. Eight years later an entrepreneur and inventor obtained a patent for the cone. He eventually sold that patent to Nabisco. Since that time, all kinds of different cones have been created for us to enjoy.
These Southwest Florida ice cream shops are among the best in the state. Stop by today or over the weekend and see why
Harbor Scoops and Bites, Punta Gorda
Harbor Scoops boasts ice cream with a view. The shop faces Charlotte Harbor and the Peace River. All ice cream is made in house and flavors change seasonally. I mean look at the fall special in the bellow Instagram post. And that cone! Yum
Royal Scoop, Naples
Royal Scoop has been delighting palates in Southwest Florida since 1979. Over the years, they've won numerous awards and expanded to five locations, including one on Fort Myers Beach that is temporarily closed. They also have mobile ice cream truck.
Love Boat Ice Cream, Fort Myers
Love Boat Ice Cream is an iconic stop in Fort Myers. The original location on San Carlos Blvd, on the way to Fort Myers Beach, expanded a few years ago to a new site just blocks from the original. It has also opened two additional spots (Sanibel temporarily closed) with more to come. Including Cape Coral.
