If you thought bounce houses were the MVP of outdoor parties, just wait. Inflatable water slides are here to permanently dub you the coolest host ever—whether you're throwing a family-friendly barbecue or an adults-only kinda bash (maybe an at-home bachelorette?). Part bounce house, part water slide, and pure unadulterated fun, these inflatables will turn your party into the event of the year. PSA to all you parents: It'll also save you from the doldrums of summer, right when you're starting to question why you didn't enroll your kids in that extra week of camp (seriously, why?!). An inflatable water slide is perfect entertainment for long holiday weekends, uneventful weekday afternoons, and any other time your kids say "I'm bored." AKA, it's not a one-and-done item.
From toddler-friendly climbing walls and splash pools to serious racing slides for bigger kids adults, there are plenty of options from Amazon that will be delivered to your door in two days with Prime shipping. Don't forget to tell guests to bring a swimsuit and sunscreen!
Your cookout won't be complete without this inflatable slide/climbing wall situation. Double slides mean double the fun (and a little lighthearted competition!). This one is designed for both kids and adults. Don't mind me as I *add to cart* immediately.
Whether you have a dino-loving kid in your life or are a massive fan of Jurassic Park, this T-Rex inflatable water slide is what summer dreams are made of. You'll get some serious thrills sliding down the 25-foot slide, complete with a soaking pool for smaller tots (or relaxation-inclined adults).
You can use this gigantic castle with or without water, but either way, it's sure to make you the most popular house on the block. With a full bounce house in the middle and two ladders and slides, no little prince or princess will have to wait in line. This does not come with a blower, so you'll need to purchase separately.
Your backyard will feel like a resort in less than two minutes with this palm tree and rainbow inflatable. It's got a big pool for chilling or splashing and can hold riders up to 200 pounds, meaning adults can enjoy it, too!
This adult-friendly slip-and-slide gives you all the sliding fun without having to climb up a wall or ladder. Set up dry as a tunnel for the littles to bounce and crawl through, or add water for all ages to race down.
Ahoy there, mateys! This giant pirate ship will cost you less doubloons than a family trip to a waterpark, and you'll be able to use it all summer long. The climbing wall and dual racing slides are a lot more fun than walking the plank.
If one pirate ship isn't enough, this boasts two bouncy ships that let you have the most epic sea battle of all time. This can hold up to 300 pounds, so multiple kids (or adults) can play at one time.
If you don't want the kids to be the only ones having fun, this one can hold riders up to 200 pounds. Climb to the top of the 9-foot castle, then speed down the nearly 17-foot slide into the splash pool.
If your competitive kids not only want to race to see who gets down the slide fastest but also who gets up to the top first, this 4-foot wall is extra wide for multiple climbers.
If you've got access to a lake, this giant inflatable is designed for adults and teens. It's a huge trampoline that can support up to 880 pounds with a slide that goes right into the water—no hose needed! The trampoline also makes a great spot for sunbathing.
If you don't want to put in a permanent play area in your backyard, this inflatable is a fast option that has two slides, a bounce house, a big pool area, and a ball pit. Great for wet or dry play, sporty kids will love that there's both a basketball hoop and a soccer goal.
Clear some backyard space for this 14-foot mini-water park that's complete with sprinklers and even a dumping bucket. It inflates in two minutes and has a climbing wall and slide for individuals up to 120 pounds.
This is your best bet if you've got kids of multiple ages, thanks to a toddler-sized slide as well as one for bigger kids. There's also a constant water spout for some splashing fun.
This playful inflatable lets you slip right out of a cartoon shark's mouth and into some safer waters. It's got a cute little hideout tunnel and a water cannon for others to blast you with a spray as you ride down.
Even though this enormous inflatable covers 15 by 11 feet and skyrockets over 8 feet in the sky, it inflates in less than three minutes with the included blower. Attach your hose for speed on the racing slide, and the water cannon is added fun even if you are sitting on the sidelines.
Most of these inflatables are big and pretty heavy, which makes them usable at home, but not really if you want to travel. This one folds to the size of a duffle bag and weighs less than 50 pounds.
That old slip-and-slide you had got a major makeover, with two slides that will help kids speed down the track even faster. This holds up to 350 pounds total and comes with little inflatable kickboards if you want to go down headfirst.
Kids won't get bored with this one! There's a cute playhouse for setting up shop, a soccer goal, a basketball hoop, cannons, a slide, and a bounce house. There's even a secret tunnel if they want to get to the jumping platform without getting their feet wet.
For the little Minion lover in your life, this branded tropical bouncer is designed for kids ages 3-8 and will have your little ones saying "Bank yu" every time you blow it up.
This fun tunnel lets kids play whack-a-mole with their friends (with a soft inflatable mallet, of course.) There are also fun places to hide, a bouncing spot, a basketball hoop, and a slide.
