Blast Zone Shark Park 19x11 Inflatable Water Park Bouncer - Blower - Climbing Wall - Slide - Splash Area - Huge

My kids adore this item and it has made them the hit of the block! All the kids want to come play on the shark park. The wading pool area is generously sized for splashing and playing in the water. The pit area is great for bouncing. The tunnel is a constant favorite. They like to pretend it’s the sharks stomach and pretend to be eaten. Lol. The climb up to the slide is sturdy and easy to do. The slide is an absolute blast.Set up and take down is easy but as with this type of product it takes some work. We have a system of taking the Shop Vac out to suck up water and sand/dirt while using many towels to dry it thoroughly. You have to be diligent about cleaning it so it doesn’t get ruined by water sitting and getting moldy. We have it down to about a 20 Minute take down. The kids and everyone grab towels and get it done. Totally worth it. When we set it up we usually keep it out for 3-4 days and play on it a ton during that time. If you want something quick to set up and take down then something this big may not be for you.I highly recommend this. Stood up to a Summer of multiple uses including an entire girl’s U10 soccer team at a sleepover and it’s just like new still!

As noted in some previous reviews - this is a professional grade 'air toy' - from its sturdy materials to its superior stitching. While I initially blanched at the cost of $600, it proved to be more than worth the cost. With my children, and my grandchildren, scheduled to visit us in early September, I had researched the cost of 'air toy' rentals - desiring the fun of a water slide, a pool, and a genuine bounce house. Single day rentals for such a combination exceeded $200, with many approaching $300, for a single day. Additionally, their overall size would have taken up virtually all of the vacant space in our back yard. With this unit, we left it in place for four days straight, and re-inflated it for the final two days before our grandkids left. While considerably smaller than a rental unit - it provided absolute enjoyment to all of our younger grandkids, my grown children, and their grandmother for many hours on end. Yes, it definitely was sturdy enough to handle fit adults. Note, I did not put my 260 pounds to the test, but suspect it would have managed that as well. Bought a patio box to store it in, along with its fan unit. Definite possibilities for renting it out for neighborhood events, which could recoup my cost, and possibly even reap a profit. Buying this was a very difficult (cost), but a very smart decision.

Package arrived quickly, easy to set up. I made sure it was completely dry and clean before rolling up and putting in storage bag after each use (btw..30-40 min), but two large seams have come apart at the bottom of the ladder so we're just awaiting the UPS driver to arrive to pick up for return. :( Very sad to see this go, the kids loved it, loved it, loved it. Lasted less than a month but at least it happened within my return time frame...

UPDATE - 2 years laterWe have had the bouncy for two years and besides getting dirty, it is in great shape. We've had no issues with the bouncy or the fan. The plastic tub broke once, but that's because we had the water turned on too high and it split the connector tub. Now that we learned to not turn the hose on full blast, it hasn't broke again. My seven year old still enjoys it too. It is a neighborhood favorite!We purchased this in May and we use it at least once, if not more, per week. It has held up great. No complaints. My kids are 1, 3 and 5 and all three age groups enjoy it. You have to make sure to let it dry out before you put it away. We will just run it a couple of hours in the sun the next day and that seems to do the trick.

I waited over a year to send in a review of this toy to make sure it was durable. While the Shark Park can be a pain to clean and store, it is likely the best toy we ever bought. We have used this over the last 2 summers probably 15 times and the kids love it. We have not had one tear, split or hole. Our two boys and usually 6-8 neighborhood kids have beat the heck out of this thing and it works just as well now as the day we bought it. (I will say the kids are all under 10 years old). This has given the kids hours of fun, and even if it breaks tomorrow at this point I feel we definitely got our money's worth compared to all the other junk they get and never play with.

I talked my husband into letting me order this for the kids this summer so that they would have something fun to do outdoors at home. It was very fast and easy to set up initially. One complaint I have is that the cord to the blower is not very long so unless you want it right next to your house you have to use an extension cord which the instructions strictly prohibit. My husband was worried about that but I did some research and found out it was fine to use at long as you got a 16 gauge or higher cord. It inflates in seconds and My kids which are ages 9. 6. 4. and 2 love playing on this. My 2 year old has not been able to climb up the slide by himself yet but he has fun in the pool and bouncy area. We have left it out since we do not see how we can fit it back in the storage bag it came in and we want to keep it out so it will be easy to use over and over this summer. I am afraid it we put it away I will not take it back out as often. The problem with this is it gets dirty and stains easily from the tree, dirt and grass debris. So we have to clean it off with the hose and inflate and deflate it to clean it up every time before the kids use it. The kids have a blast on it but I do think the price was a little high.

It's of high quality and setup is within 10 minutes and blows up in about 1 minute. First use we had 10 kids playing on it at once ranging from 2-8 all had a blast for 2 hours. Storage takes a bit more time, but is also pretty easy. Will never fit back in the original box again but got a plastic tote that works great. Best part is the mini vacation not worrying about trying to entertain the kids in the hot Arizona summer. I would recommend this to anyone as it will pay for itself after 7 uses.

Good quality, has lasted several years.

Great product! My 8 and 6 year old constantly ask for me to put this out for them in the yard. Easy to set up, easy to take down. I would highly recommend for anyone considering a bounce house/waterslide to choose this one!
