Bounce Houses Now Rainforest Rapids Amusement Park by Blast Zone Review + $500 Giveaway

As my kids get older, they have started inviting more friends to their birthday parties that require fun activities. Two of my children have August birthdays, so we try to incorporate water to keep them cool. Bounce Houses have been a huge hit at our past parties, but we needed a larger one to accommodate more friends. Bounce Houses Now sent us the Rainforest Rapids Amusement Park by Blast Zone for review.

The Rainforest Rapids Amusement Park is an ultimate combo jumper! The centerpiece of this party jungle is the Zulu bouncer, an 8' x 8' Jumping Paradise. Climb the cliffs of Zulu to enter either of mega slides, and escape into the Tiki Lagoon. The Rainforest Rapids may be used wet or dry.

As with all of our bounce houses, blowing it up was incredibly easy.  Here are all of the parts that come with The Rainforest Rapids.  The cute kid is not included - he was just anxiously waiting to bounce. 

Simply unfold the bounce house and hook it up to the blower. After turning the blower on, it is up and ready for play in about a minute.

The size of The Rainforest Rapids is fantastic for birthday parties. Three kids can bounce, two more can be going down the slides, while three more can play in the splash area.  The bounce area is 8'x8' and the two larger slides are both 8' tall. As you can see below, it can be used with or without water. While it will be great with water for summer parties, it will also work well for parties during cooler months. It isn't as easy getting down the slides without water, but my kids had a blast.

When using it with water, simply Velcro the clear hose into place and hook up to a water hose. This is the back of the unit.

Each of the larger slides has a "waterfall" that simply Velcros into place.

I adore the fact that the "ladder" is on the inside so the kids don't have to get out and go around back which would get grass and dirt everywhere.

It has two footholds and handles on each slide so that kids can easily climb up.

The bounce house is really safe. The entire bounce pad is enclosed and the opening can be closed with the Velcro. The top of the slides also have netting.

The Rainforest Rapids have provided my kids with hours of fun already. It keeps them cool and they can use other water toys to play in the splash area. My daughter loves using buckets and they both like to roll balls up and down the slide. Evan was throwing a ball with my husband in this picture.

We have been playing with our new bounce house for the past few weeks and I've only had one issue with it. If the splash area was larger, this would be the perfect unit. When kids come down the slide, water splashes forward and since it isn't larger, the water goes right onto the ground. The splash area on the Pirates Bay Inflatable Play Park is much larger, so the water stays in and the kids can slide out more.

Here is a short video of my kids playing on the Rainforest Rapids so that you can see it in action.
