LONG ISLAND, NY — Children of all ages and adults can experience the world's largest bounce house for the next four weekends at Broadway Commons in Hicksville.

"Our biggest bounce house is over 16,000 square feet," Sid Class told Patch AM last week. "It has a 20-foot slide, two ball pits, [and] a DJ booth in the middle."

Also coming to the island, the New York Comedy Festival is expanding for the first time into Nassau County as John Mulaney headlines UBS Arena on Nov. 11.
