1 / 2Open Air Bounce
📍 Bolton, North West
Outdoor inflatables park with 15 bouncy castles, slides, and obstacle courses across a grass field. Ages 0–16. Dedicated SEND sessions run throughout school holidays. On-site catering with hot food and ice cream. Free parking.
Visited the SEND session today and had a fantastic day! I can not recommend this to other SEND parents enough! My son had a fantastic day running from one inflatable to another, no queues, no judgement, no worries. To top it all off they had a foam party which was brilliant. There is plenty of parking but the entire thing is on one large grass field so if you have a wheelchair I would go on a dry day when the ground is firm enough to take a wheelchair. There are some paid rides but they are very reasonably priced. In fact, the food vans weren't overly expensive either. Despite all of this the thing I feel I have to call out because it really made our whole experience the best it could be is the staff. We didn't encounter a single staff member who was rude or dismissive. Everyone had PECs cards on their lanyards to help SEND children if needed and they all seemed to understand. One of the best days out if you have a SEND child who likes bouncing and you can get to one of their SEND sessions.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Outstanding for families with younger children aged 0–8 and especially for families with SEND children who benefit from the dedicated no-queue holiday sessions. Best visited on dry days — grass field access becomes difficult for wheelchairs after rain.

“First visit here on a SEN session. My grandson had an amazing time. It's a good size area so he was able to run around freely and not get out of bed out of my site too much. There are lots of bouncy castles and enough extra rides to use. You do need to purchase tokens for the smaller mechanical rides. There is also a good size sand pit and on the day we visited there was a face painting lady. There are lots of tables to sit at and plenty of food and drink choices. Also restrooms to use if needed. Pretty easy to find and ample parking. We do plan to visit again”

“Great value, great fun and would recommend! Definitely aimed at younger kids (the bouncy castle bit), but also I bought a bounce ticket too to accompany my two nephews, and feel like I got my money's worth, even though I only went on a few of the bouncy castles, and just supervised them on the others. Not too crowded, nice and clean and friendly and well staffed. Great way to spend a morning or afternoon over the holidays 😀”

“This is definitely a place to go for a few hours. It’s clean, supervised & ALL the inflatables are included in the price… if you use SUMMER25 at the checkout you get a 25% discount on a Tues Weds & Thurs. there is a small fair where you can buy a wristband for £9.95 & plenty of different food & drinks stalls to choose from”
