Backyard Waterslides - Outrageous Summer Fun

When I was a kid, there was always one house where all the kids congregated on summer afternoons. Great times were had running around, playing in sprinklers, and just enjoying being kids.  I know that if I would have had one of these water slides growing up, our house would have been a hot spot in the neighborhood for sure.  These are great for birthday parties, block parties, graduation parties, and any time kids want to have a fun summer day playing in the water and being kids.

Here are a few of our favorites here at Toy Whimsy:

Pirate Bay Combo Water Slide and Bounce House by Blast Zone

This lovely set has water cannons, a slide AND a bounce house! And how can you not love it with this description from the manufacturer:

“Ahoy me hearties. Arrrrgh ye ready for high seas action in the Pirates Bay Inflatable Pirate Ship? Captain the Pirates Bay as she splashes her way through the land of Fun Shine. Only the most daring Buccaneers will venture through the Starboard Crawl Tunnel into the Port Side Bouncer. Go ahead - Hop away yer willies, but when ye be done prepare for more pirate fun. Will ye make yer way through the Splash Lagoon, or will ye stay and play the day away?”

Banzai Roaring Rapids Water Park
Have you seen what taking the family to the water park costs these days?  If you are going to spend that, why not have the fun right in your back yard to enjoy all summer and for years to come.  This personal water park has three slides and inflates in less than 3 minutes.  Sounds like a win/win to me.

Blast Zone Rainforest Rapids

The Rainforest Rapids is another bounce house/water slide combo from Blast Zone.  When the kids get tired of sliding, they can go in the bounce house and bounce around for a bit.  Whatever they decide to do, I bet they will sleep well after a day of playing on this fun toy!

Little Tikes Wade Lagoon

If you have little ones, this looks like a great option.  This backyard water park is tot-sized!
From the description:

    * Tree sun shade also keeps kids cool with a constant misting sprayer
    * Built-in cup holders keep refreshing drinks close at hand
    * Corner seat perfect for relaxing in between sliding
    * Step-down in side wall for easy exit and keeps water at a safe level
    * Includes heavy-duty blower, stakes, repair kit and storage bag

Let’s all hope that the weather turns around fast (at least here in Seattle) and we can all get outside and enjoy some water fun!
