Are Bouncy Castles Safe to Use in Hot Weather?
Yes — bouncy castles can be safely used in hot weather as long as sensible precautions are taken. During summer months, the surface of an inflatable can warm up quickly under direct sunlight, so it’s important to check that it’s not too hot to the touch before letting children play.
Keeping Children Safe in the Heat
- Make sure the castle is placed in a shaded area where possible.
- Encourage regular water breaks to keep children hydrated.
- Check the surface temperature frequently — if it feels hot, pause use and cool it down with a damp cloth or shade.
- Inspect the inflatable regularly for signs of wear or air leaks that could worsen in warm conditions.
