the ultimate obstacle course!

What is inside a obstacle bounce house? and why is it called that?  Well, the obstacle bounce house usually has a bounce area and a slide, some have tunnels and climbing walls. These things are huge and cumbersome and take a few people to set them up. However they are a blast for kids and adults too. There is something fascinating about this kind of unit. Kids love crawling  through tunnels and climbing over obstacle courses. One is thing is for sure , a good afternoon on one of these units is guaranteed to tire a child out.

These units however are very heavy. The one I had for a year was like a big beached whale when it was folded up, and had to be moved with a fulcrum system!  They are worse when they are wet. They are also not the easiest to clean. These large units do however usually come in pieces that are  hooked together with velcro.  Also they usually require more then one blower to be inflated – hence they require more electricity to run. They need a lot of flat ground room to be set up in.

With all the problems they have – still these units continue to be popular – because they are  a heck of a lot of fun.
