20 Best Water Slides For Backyard (2023 Updated)

Quick delivery. Very easy set up and take down. No problems so far. Got this for my 2-year-old’s birthday party. It’s tall, which I knew it would be, but I was amazed that she would slide down with assistance by standing on the side.

We had up to 11-year-olds on it and even my husband and father-in-law went down. The water gun at the front, you can take the water hose off to not spray in their faces if you want. I think this will be entertainment for years to come (if it doesn’t wear out before then)!.

Well built. My children are 5 years old and it is great for toddlers up to age 9 if your children are on the smaller side. It is smaller in person than what the picture shows. It inflates within minutes and is easy to take down.

Make sure it dries before collapsing and storing. Overall very good price and value.

Kids love this slide. Boys are 7 and 4 and my 7 year old is tall for his age. It does seems like it’s made for smaller/ younger kids but for now the two of them will get great use out of it. The water sprays out well and it is a perfect actyfpr a hot summer day in the yard.

Set up isn’t hard but probably eat for two people to do it to save time.

Both Grandaughters age 4 and two love the splash and slide and play for hours. It seems rugged enough to last. Stitching and quality very well done. Blows up quickly. Like the way you can velcro the water lines to vary the direction of the water spray (especially the water cannon at base of slide) if they dont like to be sprayed directly in their face.

Its plenty big but the splash pool area could have been a little wider but is adequate. You do need to supervise as its tall enough (6′) to get hurt if they fall off ladder or slide areas and pool area can be 8 inches deep.

The water lines hook to your hose so it helps to set up early to warm up pool area with the sun. Its easy and quick to deflate by turning off blower which runs continously like any blow house. It folds up small enough (4×4) to store as we use tarp underneath while operating to protect fabric and then just fold over to store.

Just be sure to allow to dry top and bottom if going to put away for long length of time to avoid possible mold. The warning label on base of ladder wore off during first use but does not matter in its use.

Best $200 spent on grandaughters as they would rather play on it than go to pool!.

For ages 3-8 this would be perfect. My 16 year old talked me into buying it for her and her 10 year old twin brothers. She’s small for her age and is within the weight limit. The only reason it’s really too small for them is the landing at the bottom of the slide.

This hasn’t kept them from playing on it for over an hour already. Seriously took less than a couple minutes to inflate. The water hookup is a plastic tubing with a T that goes from your hose to both the water cannon and top of the slide.

It has Velcro loops to hold the hose in place and just Velcro pads with “sprayers” that attach in place. Super easy and super fun. I imagine this would be a wonderland for early elementary age kiddos.

Highly recommend!.

Wasn’t sure what to expect but to my surprise it was just so awesome! Not only did my 4 year old granddaughter love it but so did lots of other children. We even had a few older kids use it that weighed up to 120lbs.

It is very easy to set up in under 15 minutes out of the box. There was no significant increase in our water bill and we had it up many hours per day and for several weeks at a time. By the end of the summer we saw a tiny tiny hole but it never affected its ability to hold air.

Didn’t affect it’s stability either. We plan to patch that this season. Oddly it didn’t kill our Bermuda grass either. We folded it up and stored it for this season. Best investment. Priceless giggles and smiling faces!!!.

Quarantine lead to this purchase for my kids (4, 7, 9). It inflates quick but takes a while to get enough water in the base. I made a few attempts to recirculate the water from the basin into the water jets with different submersible pumps.

Dont waste your time or money on attempting that. The basin itself will leech out water over time – meaning you will still have to run the hose the entire time anyway. I attempted to run the fan overnight to save the water in the basin only to find it mostly empty in the morning.

Also, you need to find the most level spot you can. Once the water reaches the “fill line” there us chance that it will push out over the side. Also, as soon as the fan motor is turned off the water will push the basin flat and spill out.

It says its rated for kids – but I’m a 240lb man and I was able to go down he slide. Word to the wise – don’t putz around at the top of the tower – it will start to sink with the weight on it. I made one modification to the water supply hose.

The first T the water reaches from the hose connection caused the most water pressure to go to the water cannons. I cut and reattached (Ts are connected with glue) so the water has a more direct connection to the showers, and the side T goes to the cannons.

It is able to keep the slides more wet thus way. Do yourself a favor and get your kids small innertubes. Mine love going down the slides on the tubes. Yes it is a pain to dry out. Deflate and leave it overnight.

Move it, inflate it, and repeat until it is dry. I ended up using a rope in a tree to attach to one of the anchor points and inflating it while mostly suspended so it could dry the top and bottom at the same time.

Once dry it will never fit back in the original box. Get the 50 gal tote like other reviews have said. My only criticism is that I feel like it needs an endless supply of water and there is no way to save on that.

The basin could stand to be a little deeper, but it is for kids. If I were to redesign this thing I would make an inflatable ring to encompass the bottom so you could deflate the rest and save water for the next day.

Also set up something to recirculate the water so that it could be used longer without a constant water supply.

This is a great product: my kids and their visitors loved it! Very easy to assemble and use. It only lasted two seasons but frankly that’s because I didn’t spend the time to take care of it. If you run the sprayers, the water will be cold so you cannot leave the kids in for a long time.

This is best for hot, sunny days. It is quite firm when inflated and can take a beating from the kids. It can accommodate 4 young children or more easily. It is a bit of a chore to get all the water out when you want to store it.

Probably a shop-vac type wet vacuum would be useful. Note that the water park is fairly water-tight, but it is not air-tight, by design. That is why it uses a blower to keep it inflated. So if you see tiny air bubbles rising through the water that is expected, not a problem or a defect.

The stitching is pretty solid and for me is still intact despite two years of hard usage. Note do not put the water park on patches of bare ground: if it gets dirty it is impossible to clean. I left the product outside during the winter, which is not advisible: it will deteriorate.

Mine has some small holes and the bottom is cracking now. I could fix it but I am thinking of buying a new one and taking better care of it. You need to keep the water park in an enclosure when not being used, preferably in a warm place like a garage.

I think the product would have lasted a lot longer if I did this.

I came across this slide for our son’s 5th birthday party. Previous years we rented inflatable slides, but though about purchasing this year instead. At $299 it was almost the same as a 4hr rental in our area ($275).

Glad we did since the slide was awesome and a big hit with the kids. Pros: Price (almost as cheap as renting) Construction (seems well made, larger than we expected) Durable (23 kids – ranging 2yrs-10yrs, +4 hours continuous use, no issues) Cons: Difficult for younger kids <4yrs old to climb up ladder>

Since it has two raceways I figured they would make two ways to climb up. Not a deal breaker, but something the designer could have considered to improve the slide. Overall, we were more than impressed with the Banzai Double Drop Raceway slide.

Hopefully, it holds up and we can get our money out of it having two kids (birthdays, family get-togethers, etc. ) User tip: After draining the splash pool, run the fan for several hours to allow slide to dry before packing up.

Makes it much easier to clean, remove grass and avoid mildew. Also, I was not paid by the manufacturer to leave a review since I appreciate when others leave good reviews and thought I’d pay it forward.

Enjoy!.

We bought this for our grandson to be able to splash and play at our house. He plays for hours. Invited our neighbors child over to play and he didn’t want to leave. Easy set up just as it says on the box.

Only downside is that you lose all of the water built up in the pool when you turn off the air pump. Pool deflates with the slide and the water is released. It would be nicer if you were able to save the pool water for a couple days.

Easy to set up and great fun for the kiddos but on its 5th use the bottom portion of the slide ripped on one side of the stitching. Looks like a factory malfunction on the stitching. Reason for only 3 stars.

I actually didnt realize the blower had to constantly be on like a bounce house, but takes a minute to inflate, then let water warm up in pool area. But my grandson loves it and its very thick and durable.

Based on the reviews and price, I decided to go with this water slide versus the more expensive/bigger slides. My son was 3 when we got this slide and has loved it for the past 2 years. We get it out often and especially when he has friends/family over to play on it with him.

It’s big enough for the bigger kids but not so big that the littles get scared of it. It takes minutes to set up and once we deflate it, we let it air dry for a day or two and put everything back in the bag that it came in.

We have had it for two years and the only issue we have had is a small hole in the tubing for the water but we just duct tapped it for now. I definitely feel like the cost was well worth it for 2+ years of owning it.

Quality material and inflated very fast. Grandkids ages 2 and 4 played on it for hours. I highly recommend children be closely surprised when climbing to the top of the slide bc getting seated before sliding down takes effort and they could very easily fall off backwards a great distance.

I always stood at the foot of the climb up steps. Otherwise, an awesome outside entertainment idea for the whole summer.

We loved how quick and easy it was to put together. The kids spent hours on it. Loved the water flow and we have cement backyard and they were still able to go down the slide easily. The water gun was a fun feature.

The best part was the green bucket at the top that filled up with water and dumped water down the slide. Being in AZ, it is the perfect backyard fun for the whole family!.

Wow!! My kids absolutely love this water park. They are 3 and 5 and it’s the perfect size for them. I was able to set it up by myself without any help from my husband. The instructions which are mostly pictures, were clear and easy to understand.

It took me maybe 15-20 mins to have it ready to go. The water sprayer is a fun feature. And the slide is really fast! The green water dumper at the top of the slide doesn’t really work like it’s supposed to by filling up and then dumping on your head.

It kind of just stays crooked the whole time. But I didn’t find it to be a big deal. I wish there would be a longer area at the bottom of the slide because sometimes you go so fast that you almost fly out of it and you splash a lot of the water out of it.

But again, not a deal breaker. The breakdown is a little tedious but that’s to be expected. You have to turn off the blower, let the water drain, and then move it to another area of the yard that’s dry, reinflate it and allow it fully dry.

It doesn’t take too long and then you can fold it up and it comes with a nice carrying bag you can store it in. All in all, I’m very pleased with this product. It’s the perfect addition to our backyard play area.

My kids have been using this non stop since we got it!! It is absolutely amazing!! It is the perfect size for my average California backyard. It doesn’t take up as much space as I had originally thought.

I love the layout. The slide is awesome and my kid’s love using the gun at the bottom. The clubbing wall is nice and sturdy and comes with a “weight” that you fill with water when the bigger kids use it.

The bottom pools with water and allows the kids to splash around also. I love that the air pump is big enough to not be kicked around and bright orange so no one misses it. Also, the tubing that connects the water gun and the bucket that dumps water at the top is very well designed and hides almost the entire tubing! This is our best summer ever!!!!.

The kids took it out this weekend and I had 4= 4 year olds and 3=10 year olds on it and everyone had an great time and was well worth it since everyone slept well that night!! Slightly smaller than expected though.

Pretty easy to set up, but a bit hard to put away. We shall see how long this lasts I hope we get many more uses!! The one weird thing: it doesn’t say Kahuna on it like on the picture, but it says “Riptide” instead.

For the $$$ spent, I hope this isn’t a knock off!!.

My grandchildren range in age from 7-11. This is perfect. I was really worried about getting something that would be too small for the oldest to play on and also be too small for the others real soon.

This is great for all of them and with the quality, it should last for a few more seasons at least. The sale price was very low for this type of item and the extra 5% off with the RedCard was an added bonus.

If you’re looking for something that can be used by the older kids, this is it.

This thing is great. Slides my 5 and 7 year old fast when wet but they love it. I’m happy with it. Only thing that I was wondering is why it says riptide on it? Let’s see how long it last. Happy customer.

Purchased H2OGO waterpark #53302E from Walmart and velcro was not sewn on product where bucket drops the water. I put in a claim at the beginning of the summer nobody has reached out to me. I have to tie the hose up each time my grandchildren use the product.

I could not return product to store since it’s not in stock. The kids do have fun on this but for the price it should have been complete upon purchase.

Brought this for xmas day and it was the best. The kids loved it. So happy I brought it. Money well spent and with the beating it took Xmas day to new year Im confident its going to last a long time.

We dried it out and have used again since and will u.

This bouncy house water slide is AMAZING!!!! We have a smaller backyard with a playscape in the middle, so we needed something fun that would also fit. I have a 4 and 6 year old and it provided about three hours of non stop fun! My husband and I even went down the slide, so it actually can hold up to 175lbs.

I was worried because it said up to 8 yrs old, but I am confident that 10 and 11 yr olds will still be able to use it if it can hold us. Best quarantine purchase EVER!!!.

I absolutely love this slide. we’ve had a few and this was the best one yet. very strong for several children even Bigger kids. Had a party for my 3yr old they had a great time. cane in 1day as well!

Super Easy to set up. The kids have had a blast with this! great investment for these hot days. Only wish it had a carry case to put it all in when we are done with it.

We debated on renting a water slide for each of our boys’ birthdays coming up, or buying. This water slide was perfect for our boys & the price pretty much matched what it would have costed us for only TWO days rental.

We are very happy that we went ahead & decided to buy instead of rent. Our boys can enjoy it anytime. It’s easy to put up & take down. It’s sturdy, and the kids love it.

Bought this for my sons 2nd Bday party and the kids loved it. My son wants to play in it everyday after daycare. Great item for the price!!!! Plenty of room for my 1 year old to play also without all of the kids running over him to get to the slide.

I bought this slide for my grandson and have had no problems as previous reviewers have. I found adding some dish washing liquid makes it super slippery. Don’t need too much water pressure enough to come out of holes.

Yes it can move from time to time, but not a real issue. Grandson has had a lot of fun on it.

This slide is quite simply a bad idea. It doesn’t work properly as it doesn’t build any pressure. When you come to pack it away it takes forever to get all the water out. And it is way to much hassle for a very limited amount of fun for the kids.

Three problems :1. Not slippery at all 2. It keeps moving while you playing even I used pegs 3. Water doesn’t pop even if we turned up faucet to maximum

Purchased our bounce splash house and within a couple days it was here. My granddaughters love the dual slides and spend hours at play. Was skeptical with such a great price, yet pleasantly surprised at the quality of material and workmanship, tightly sewn seams, sturdy and fun all in on great water slide/bounce house.

Thank you for the happy squeals. And belly laughs. ! ❤️.

I think it is a nice size and my 8 year old will be able to play on it for years to come. We did not get the free balls with it and is tricky to set up. It takes a minute to line up the water hose and did not have instructions.

It also is a huge pain to clean up, but I’m telling you it is worth it. My kids love it and have so much fun. It’s way more durable than the 500-600 ones from Bonaza.

If you’re looking for an awesome water park for the kids this summer, this H2OGO Funfinity Mega Water Park is it!! This has two slides going two different ways. My boys have such a blast with this one!! One can go one way, one can go another.

They both have sensory issues due to their diagnosis and this has been such a huge help! They literally play on this all day and get all their energy out. Next, the climbing wall is on the inside, so they dont even have to get out to climb and slide.

I really like how this is designed with the climbing wall being on the inside. Then, there is a tunnel in between both slides. When they slide down, they can go under the tunnel and back around. It’s honestly just such an incredible design and a ton of fun!! This also has an inflatable basketball hoop built in, and comes with the ball for it as well.

Plus a water blaster built in, so they can spray each other coming down the slide. That I really liked with this, it gives them different activities they can do. Then, there is a pool going completely around, they can swim as well! Overall, this is a must have for summer time, kids will love it!! I want to add, I let this completely dry before storing away, and take down after every use! I’ve done that with all our other water parks, and they stilllook new going on 2 years later.

They are from this same brand too!! Lastly, the quality is phenomenal!! Very heavy duty, but not heavy to where it’s hard setting it up. The material is very well made! It will also hold a good bit, I get on it with my boys, and I’m around 220 pounds and it holds me with no issues!! The name “Funfinity” is perfect for this because it’s a ton of fun!! Get it, your kids will absolutely love it, and so will you!!.

I purchased the FunFinity Splash Mega Water Park from Target for my kids. After purchasing this, I was pleasantly surprised with the value of the product and the reasonable cost. Unboxing the product was easy, and the set up took less than 5 minutes! I like that the air blower is included and set up and take down is an ease! My children and their friends so far have immensely enjoyed playing on this inflatable water park.

I like that this allows up to 8 children to use this at once and there are several things for the kids to use on it like the slides and basketball hoop. Overall, this product exceeded my expectations and has delivered many laughs and fun for my family.

I would highly recommend this product to anyone!.

We’ve set this up several times this summer already. I love that it can set up and take down easily. Dries pretty quick too. I only wish that the bottom section could stay inflated so that when you turn it off for the night the water doesn’t dump out.

Not a big deal but just to save water. Second would be to have a water pump so you could cycle the water from the bottom part to the sprayer. This would also save water and help the water be a bit warmer.

We might buy a water pump just for this reason. Besides that we love it and it’s holding up well. Even with our two boys and often the neighborhood kids joining in. It’s been a lot of fun for everyone!.

This was really a lot of fun even though it didn’t perform perfectly. I thought we’d stay outside and play on this for about 20 minutes and it was more like 90 minutes. My kids loved it! We all laughed a lot.

I couldn’t keep the slide straight, or keep the sprinkly parts pointed in the right direction, and there was an issue with the water pressure. It started out great with the sprinkler parts spraying really high, then not much more than a trickle, but you wouldn’t have guessed there was an issue with all the fun that was being had.

There should maybe be some type of drain at the end where all the water gathers so that you can let it out quickly for storage, and possibly a few more anchors to keep the slide in place better, but overall it did what I needed it to do: get the kids out of the house and enjoying each other.

My children are aged 4 and 7 and had a great time with this water slide. It’s not very large, but they had a tough time sliding all the way into the sprayers at the end. My husband ended up pushing them down it like wheelbarrows.

They enjoyed the sprayers that ran along the entire side and splash pad at the end. We did use the inflatable board that it came with, but I also picked up two extras from the dollar store that where a little bit bigger.

Those worked well with the slide too. The smaller slide size is nice when it comes to hanging it to dry and put away to store. Overall, we liked it.

On a hot summer day this discovery kids water slide brought lots of laughs. It took less than 10 minutes to set up. All you have to do is roll it out and connect your water hose to it. The water pressure does the rest as far as inflating it.

I like all the water sprinkle holes all down the slide my infant who was to small to run and slide enjoyed playing in the water coming out the sides. My 7 year old loves the inflatable floatie it came with.

Usually running and landing right on your tummy isn’t so ideal but the inflatable made it that much better. It was hours of fun and we all really enjoyed this summer addition.

my great nephews are really enjoying the water slide. they are getting exercise healthy activity as well as cooling off during this recent heat wave. I enjoy getting them quality gifts that they can get lots of pleasure from.

I frequently shop and big lots for a wide variety of items. I enjoy the quality at bargain prices.

Glad it was on sale because we had to throw it away after one use. It was a good water slide while it lasted. The kids had a good time on it for a few hours until it got a hole in it. The little pool at the end was a nice touch though so they just played in that after.

#sweepstakes.

It was fun for a day or so. we bought this to entertain our girls (7&10) while we got our pool set up. They liked it but it didn’t hold their interest long. I believe there was a leak near the hose connection which made the water piddle out of the end rather than spray out.

Giving it 2 stars because my kids did play with it but I definitely wouldn’t buy one again.
