Hire Water Balls for Events

Inflatable water balls for summer parties and events

Inflatable water balls, also known as zorb water balls or water walkers, are one of the most fun and spectacular attractions for summer parties. Participants climb inside a transparent plastic sphere and try to walk, roll or balance on the water, guaranteeing laughter and entertainment. They are perfect for children's parties, hen dos, corporate team-building events and summer festivals.

What's included

A water ball service typically includes the zorb balls, the inflatable pool with water, a compressor or pump for inflation, transport and setup, a safety supervisor during the activity and pack-down at the end. Some suppliers also include an electric generator if the venue has no power supply, and an anchoring system in windy conditions. Check whether there is a weight or height limit per ball and whether staff supervise participant turns.

Frequently asked questions

From what age can water balls be used?

The usual minimum age is 5 or 6 years, although this varies by supplier and ball size. There is also a weight limit for safety reasons, typically between 80 and 100 kg per ball. Always check the exact requirements with the supplier before booking.

How long does each turn inside the ball last?

Each turn usually lasts between 3 and 8 minutes for safety reasons and to avoid exhaustion. The supervisor monitors the time and ensures rotation between participants. The exact duration may vary by supplier and the number of participants queuing.

What surface is needed to install water balls?

A flat, stable surface free of nearby obstacles is needed to place the inflatable pool. The required space depends on the pool size and number of balls, but typically a 5×5 metre area per unit is sufficient. The supplier will confirm the exact requirements based on the requested configuration.

Are water balls safe?

Yes, when used correctly with supervision from a qualified monitor. The balls are made from resistant PVC and have a hermetic closure system. The limited turn time and presence of a supervisor are mandatory safety measures. It is important that participants do not have sharp objects in their pockets and that water access is supervised at all times.
