    My sons have this exact bouncy castle. Got it last year for about 65 quid, so this is a good deal. Definately not worth 200 quid though

    Is it good, well yes and no. Its not really suitable for adults. You can go on it and bounce gently but its certainly not like a commerical bouncy castle.

    I'd say it was a castle for younger kids, probably 8 and under. Whenever my sons have it up all the kids from the neighbourhood come round. I've counted about 5 or 6 average 4,5 and 6 year olds on it. Again not bouncing to the height of a commerical castle but they seem to have fun.

    The fan is powerful, and quite noisy - not really a complaint fans are noisy! The tube which attaches the fan to the castle is held on simply by tying it on, so you have to have the fan at a certain angle to the castle or the air escapes.

    I thought my sons would absolutely adore this castle, but like most toys it gets played with now and again.

    Been looking for a castle like this for ages for my two sons. Thanks OP! Just what we were after! Hopefully Quidco will track too!

    Hi,

    Anyone know how pet proof these are? I have an abundance of cats and a big hairy mutt so don't want to fork out £50 if it will burst easily when they decide to sharpen their claws on it :rolleyes:
