Inflatable Water Slide Buying Guide

There are many backyard inflatable water slides that "go large" -- which means more fun for kids! One such water slide is the Ultra Croc by Blast Zone. It comes in at $800, and is a large slide (20 feet wide!) with multiple ways down for the kids. Big fun!

The best big budget backyard blow-up water slide is one by Banzai -- the Banzai Pipeline Twist Aqua Park. You get a lot for your money with this model -- from a choice of slides, to high-power water cannons. The reviews for this inflatable water slide are heavily positive on Amazon.com -- with many people happy they spent $1,800 for this backyard behemoth -- durable enough for the whole family!

There is a way to get the most out of limited backyard land area and still own a great inflatable water slide. The Bounceland Bounce House_Playstation Wet or Dry Combo gives your kids options galore for under $500! There is a tunnel-in bounce house, a water slide, and a water cannon for fun spraying action! With this product, you get much splash out of less space. Now, that sounds like a lot of fun!

There are a number of commercial grade inflatable water slides you might consider, for going into a fun, family-based business. My fave is Tent and Table's Mini Rainbow Castle Slide -- which includes a bounce house! For any commercial quality inflatable water slide, expect to spend in the neighborhood of $3,000. Pocket change, right?

Now, if getting the most out of a dollar sounds good to you, then the best inflatable water slide for less (I hate to use the word "cheap" -- so I don't) is the Great White Water Slide by Blast Zone. I am amazed that Amazon sells this model for just under $400, as I have seen it elsewhere online for over $500. Blast Zone calls this their "Best Quality Slide", and at $399, I think that says it all -- well, that and the shark teeth!
