I think it was this group that was recommending bounce houses? I've been looking at some wet/dry ones. Anyone have one they love?

This is the one we have. It's called The Plunge and is made by Banzai. This picture is from when my son turned 6, so it gives you a sense of how big it is. We have had this for about 10 years and used it a multiple parties or just for fun during the summer. It has held up well. I love the size of the slide and the pool. Plenty of room for the kids. I think my kids were too big for it by about age 10. On the downside, this isn't something you can leave up for days as it is inflated by a fan that has to stay on or it will deflate and there goes the water. Also, when we use it, we generally do this as an all day event. Kids are in it by 11am and it stays up til 7pm. We deflate it and leave it on the driveway to dry overnight. The next day I inflate it again and run it for a while to completely dry it before rolling it up for storage. So the cleanup part is a bit labor intensive, but it hasn't had any mold after all these years. We spent about $350 on this.

We have just a dry one. We got it maybe 3 years ago, and literally use it like 3x a week, sometimes more in the summer. We LOVE it! The only complaint is that in the direct sun it can get really hot and becomes unusable. If I got another one, I'd get one with a cover on it.
