08 March 17 - What are these ‘inflatable structure’ ACTUALLY called?

Many people have different terms for our colourful inflatable structures. The name given to such structure varies around the world, they have been and are continued to be marketed as ‘Moon Bounce’, ‘Bounce House’, ‘Bouncy Castles’, ‘Jumping Castles’ or even ‘Jolly Jumpers’. However historically the term ‘Bounce House’ stems from New England, where the hipster culture made this name very popular, the Latinos commonly use the work ‘Brinca brinca’, which literally means ‘Jump, jump’. Interestingly, the terms most commonly used in Ireland, the UK, Australia and of course New Zealand are “Bouncy Castle” or “Inflatable Castle”.

Next time you want to know what to call these inflatable structures, we suggest you don’t worry and call them what you feel is appropriate. Personally, Blast Entertainment likes to call them “Blast Bouncy Castles”:
