Users must not exceed a height of 5 feet (152 cm) or a weight limit of 70 kilograms (154 pounds) to ensure safety and optimal performance. We recommend adult supervision at all times and advise that only one age group use the castle at a time to prevent injury.

Additionally, we have some equipment that adults can use, such as adult bouncy castles, a rodeo bull, and a gladiator duel and our giant slide..
A: At Funtime Leisure, we want your kids to have fun no matter the weather! If it’s just light rain, the kids can safely continue playing on the bouncy castle. However, in heavier rain, we strongly recommend getting the children off the castle for their safety. To protect the castle itself, leave it fully inflated, this helps prevent rainwater from seeping inside. Only deflate the castle if the weather turns too windy, as strong winds can pose a risk. Following these guidelines ensures a safe, enjoyable experience while keeping the castle in great condition.
A: At Funtime Leisure, we understand the fun that face painting adds to any event! Children can absolutely wear face paint while bouncing on our castles without any issues. Our castles are made from high-quality, easy-to-clean materials designed to handle all the excitement. However, we kindly ask that parents ensure the face paint is fully dry before jumping to minimize any transfer. If the castles get dirty during your hire, don’t worry, normal play marks are expected, and we clean all equipment thoroughly between hires at no extra cost. In the rare case of excessive staining or damage beyond usual wear, a cleaning fee may apply, but our experienced team works hard to maintain the highest standards.
A: At Funtime Leisure, the safety of our customers is paramount. If wind gusts exceed 24 miles per hour, it is essential to immediately turn off the power to any inflatables and deflate them to prevent accidents. Users must not be allowed near the inflatables until wind conditions have improved and it is safe to resume use. This protocol is clearly outlined in the hire agreement signed when inflatables are left in your care, emphasizing that safety must always come first. Adhering to these guidelines helps ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
A: At Funtime Leisure, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests is our top priority. When using the inflatables, please adhere to the following rules: do not wear glasses, jewellery, or shoes on the inflatables to prevent injury and damage.

Bags, keys, sharp objects, or any other potentially harmful items are not permitted on the inflatables and should be stored securely off the play area. These guidelines help us maintain a safe environment and ensure that everyone can have fun without risks. Thank you for your cooperation.
