    I work in the outdoor dept. of Smyths, we sell about 4 types of bouncing castles. Of these, there are two that are selling well this year.

    This is the cheapest and best selling; was €200 now €150

    Advantages:

    Great Value for money,
    Inflates/deflates quickly,
    Easy to set up.

    Disadvantages:
    A bit on the small side
    Not a well known brand

    This is the second best seller; Was €300 now €199

    Advantages:

    Great Value for money for it's size,
    Inflates/deflates quickly,
    Easy to set up.
    Little Tikes;Very good brand

    Disadvantages:
    Need a decent size garden

    The above two are on display in most Smyths shop, bar a few of the smaller ones if you want to check them out.


    The other two can be found HERE and HERE.
    They're not great sellers; this is only due to the price.. not anything else:P


    As for the swings; check one of my previous posts

    Hope this helps,;)

    Did a Quick Search There and found This.

    Assuming this is the required size, this seems to be best price.. The website has loads of other adult size castles. 40 in total.

    As far as i can make out, Irish orders are charged a €50 Addmission fee.
    To Irish orders ring this number.

    I could find anything on the sit about delivary costs except that it's via an independent courier. From experience , Bounchy Castle are VERY heavy son delevary make be pricey.

    When you say slide, do you mean a bouncy castle with a slide or a separate one? or a slide that comes with attached to a swing set?

    Hope that helped.:D
