A giant inflatable bounce park is returning to the parking lot at Burlington Centre this summer, giving local families a playful outdoor option during the school break.
The Royal Duck, which calls itself the world’s largest inflatable bounce park, sets up at 777 Guelph Line from July 9 through August 2, 2026. The pop-up attraction fills the Fairview Street lot with oversized inflatables, slides, obstacle courses and bounce arenas.
General admission is $28.99 plus taxes for a three-hour time slot, with online reservations available. The event is aimed at families, kids and “playful adults,” according to the operator.
The Royal Duck will also appear at other Ontario locations this summer, including Niagara Falls, and describes itself as bringing “big fun and nostalgic vibes.” Burlington’s population of about 186,948 includes a significant number of families – children under 15 make up 16 per cent of residents, according to 2021 census data.
Burlington Centre, owned and managed by RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, is among several Canadian malls that have turned parking spaces into short-term attractions. The centre is also hosting the Royal Canadian International Circus in its lot from September 3 to 7.
