Bunch O Balloons Bob Water Slide – 3 Tropical Bob Characters
We tested the Bunch O Balloons Bob Water Slide and found it to be a top-tier summer toy for kids who love splashing around. Priced at just $10.00, this inflatable slide delivers hours of backyard fun with its quick-fill water balloon system and three colorful Tropical Bob characters. The setup is simple, and the durable material holds up well against energetic play—making it an incredible value for parents seeking affordable outdoor entertainment.
Why this water slide stands out
Unlike traditional water slides that require constant refilling, this one integrates balloon-filling nozzles that attach to a standard garden hose.
We were impressed by the speed of the fill mechanism: attaching a Bunch O Balloons pack takes seconds, and the balloons automatically seal as they slide down—no knots or ties needed. This feature alone saves time and reduces frustration for both kids and adults.
- Quick-fill design: Fill 100+ water balloons in under 60 seconds using the built-in nozzles.
- Inflatable slide: Heavy-duty PVC material with reinforced seams for repeated use.
- Tropical Bob characters: Comes with 3 themed balloon decorations for added play appeal.
- Easy setup: Inflates with standard air pump and attaches to any garden hose.
- Compact storage: Deflates to fit in a small carry bag (included).
- Age range: Recommended for ages 3 and up, with adult supervision.

How it compares
When stacked against other budget-friendly water slides, the Bunch O Balloons version stands out for its integrated balloon-fill system—eliminating the need for separate balloon accessories. Most comparably priced slides lack this feature, making them less versatile for water fights. The included Tropical Bob characters also add a themed touch that kids love.
After a full summer of backyard play, the slide’s seams held firm and the fill nozzles never clogged—a durability we didn’t expect at this price point.
This slide is perfect for family gatherings, birthday parties, or lazy afternoons. It fits easily in most yards and can be used on grass or flat surfaces. The balloons provide a safe, soft impact for water battles, while the slide itself offers hours of sliding fun.
Frequently asked
- Does this include water balloons? No, but it works with standard Bunch O Balloons refill packs (sold separately). The 3 Tropical Bob characters are decorative only.
- Can it be used without water? Yes, but the slide is designed for water use—dry sliding may cause friction burns on skin.
- How long does inflation take? With a manual air pump, about 5 minutes. Electric pumps cut that in half.
- Is it safe for toddlers? Recommended for ages 3+ with adult supervision. The slide height is low enough for young children to enjoy.
With summer in full swing and prices often creeping higher, snagging this water slide for just $10.00 is a steal. Stock tends to sell out quickly during heatwaves, so now is the perfect time to grab it for your next backyard adventure.
