And while watching the kids play Marco Polo and act out scenes from H20: Just Add Water (yelling out “Cleorrrr” in the process) is more than enough aquatic entertainment, we’ve found a way to elevate, or dare we say… inflate, your water-based activities.

You can add an extra splash into your summer cool down with an inflatable water slide. They don’t come cheap, but when it comes to making those summer memories, they’re oh-so worth it.

Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best inflatable slides on the market right now.

Is an inflatable pool a good idea?

When it comes down to it, any pool is a good pool in the Australian summer heat. Inflatable pools can be the saving grace for families with little ones who love playing outside. Not only do these pools come in eye-catching bold colours, but most of them are fitted with their own unique water features – making the fun last all summer. 

Another benefit of the inflatable pool is the quick setup and convenient storage that they allow. For those of us who have limited outdoor space, being able to set up and take down the pool at your discretion is a major win.
