| Sep 22, 2016 at 11:32 | comment | added | Max Williams | I'd (UK) call it a "bouncy castle" too. It's more "architecturally interesting" than a "simple" bouncy castle but that doesn't make it not a bouncy castle. I'd probably call it "a really cool bouncy castle", and look forward to ten minutes of peace while my son goes nuts on it. | |

| Nov 5, 2015 at 16:52 | comment | added | T.E.D. | A "bouncy castle" is a special type of inflatable that is enclosed and its only real purpose is to allow people (kids) to jump up and down. (And yes, they often look like small inflated multicolor castles). The pictured inflatable is sort of a bouncy obstacle course. | |
