Those dog days of summer can make it hard to get kids away from their screens and into the great outdoors. A backyard water slide could lure them away from their devices. Inflatable slides amp up the standard backyard kiddie pool or slip and slide to create a backyard water park complete with 5-foot slides, integrated water guns, bounce houses, and splash pools.

The massive inflatables can cover a 15-foot by 20-foot space, reach heights of up to 10 feet, and accommodate up to five kids at a time. Large electric blowers and durable PVC material ensure these playscapes stay inflated and withstand the punishment doled out by kids.

With this guide, you’ll slide into the world of backyard inflatable water slides and identify what features you should consider when shopping for one. Then you’ll get a look at some of the best inflatable water slide options on the market.
