Bounceland Castle Bounce House with Hoop Review

The Bounceland Magic Castle Bounce House is a cool-looking, award-winning inflatable that's a best-seller. It's a great entry-level bouncer that won't break the bank. It's the right size for most people—big enough for several kids to bounce and slide together, but small enough to fit in a small backyard, garage or living room (even with low ceilings).

Bouceland took a great product, popular with so many parents, and made it even better. The new basketball hoop adds more play value. Ever tried shooting hoops while hopping on a wobbly floor? It adds a totally new and fun dimension!

And you can rest assured that it'll withstand your rambuctious child with its heavy-duty pucture-proof materials and double to quadruple stitches. It comes with a patch kit, but most parents are amazed that they haven't had a need for repairs despite repetitive use and rough play.

The side velcro opening allows kids to climb in and closes tight so no kids will accidentally tumble out. The top of the slide is slightly rised from the floor of the bounce area so kids won't easily bounce out the slide opening either.

The blower is attached via a 7-foot tube that extents straight from the bounce house, so if you plan to use this in tight spaces (e.g. family room), you'll need to make sure you have ample space. The blower noise is relatively quiet; most parents don't even notice it unless they're indoors (which naturally amplifies noise).

The Bounceland Castle Bounce House is similar to the Blast Zone Magic Castle Bounce House, another castle-themed inflatable of approximately the same size. However, the Bounceland Castle Bounce House is a better value because it has a slightly taller slide (the other is more like a ramp), contains a basketball hoop, and is priced about $60 less.

The Bounceland Castle Bounce House with Hoop is an outstanding basic inflatable that is well worth the money and understandably a favorite among many parents.

*Approximate number of kids based on manufacturer's recommendation. Kids should be about 3-12 years old and under 100 lbs. each. As parents, we know that all kids vary in size, weight and energy-level, so use your best judgement.

What Others Are Saying

Here are some reviews from people like you who have purchased this bounce house. Also included are some comments of those who purchased the previous year's model, Bounceland Castle Bounce House (same inflatable but without the basketball hoop).

These houses are just superior! I was quite impressed with how well made the house is...We had five girls playing in it from age 18 months to age 8 at the same time. They played together for 6 hours nonstop...I would highly recommend this product to anyone considering this purchase. I have not regretted it one bit." —J. Nolan

I've done a lot of research on bouncer houses and finally found the best one with the best price...this one is perfect...I run a daycare and this gets a lot of use and abuse, but holds up well..." —Wende Nardi

We set this up in our living room and it is soooooo much fun for the kids...I am kind of small, but I can drag it out of its tote. It's so easy to set up, just hook it up and turn it on. We looked at other bouncers and I am glad we went with this one. You can just tell it is built to last!" —K Klimstra

This product has more than exceeded my expectations. It is well built. I thought for sure with all the bouncing, multiple kids, I would have had to patch it—not once for the entire summer...If anyone has a few toddlers who need to burn some energy I would highly recommend this product." —Fleur

I was going to rent one of these for my grandkids birthday, but couldn't find a small enough one for my yard. This was a great investment! ...it is quite safe and big...and the motor is fairly quiet...The thing that really impressed us was how well made it is. Very high quality materials; a patch kit included...I anticipate getting a lot of use out of this!" —Jessie K. Sams
