We bought the shark bounce house with pool about 5 years ago for our kids for Christmas and filled up the pool with ball pit balls and they loved it. We were renting a house and didn’t want to buy a pool then have to leave it. We stayed in it ALL SUMMER LONG. Spring and fall too when it was warm enough. The good thing is that it only takes a couple hours in direct sun for the water to heat up enough. The shark one kept getting tears in it and I called maybe 9 months later and had no problem whatsoever with them sending a brand new one. That one did great. No tears at all. It got old to our kids so we have it to the grandkids. We couldn’t think of anything to buy our 4 and 5 yr olds for their birthday so we bought this. It has 2 basketball goals, 2 soccer goals, and the best part of all is that they made it where the kids don’t have to get out and walk in the grass back around to the part you get up on. You can stay in the pool to get to the climbing part. May not seem like much but when you are the one constantly cleaning out the grass it makes a huge difference. All in all we love it, and most of all the kids love it so it’s been a great investment to stay cool in the summer here in NC!
