bouncy castle

Inflatable play structure

A bouncy castle is an inflatable structure, typically shaped like a castle or enclosure, that children jump on for entertainment.

Common at fairs, parties, and playgrounds, they're made of heavy-duty vinyl or nylon and kept inflated by a continuous air blower.

Also called a bounce house, moon bounce, or jumping castle.
