giant balloon

Massive inflated sphere

A giant balloon is an oversized inflatable, typically much larger than handheld party balloons.

Giant balloons appear in parades, advertising displays, and celebrations—the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade features enormous character balloons requiring teams of handlers.

The term also describes extra-large latex or foil balloons used for decoration: We ordered giant balloons for the grand opening.
