Inflatable World Hornby is an indoor playground at 81 Buchanans Rd, Hei Hei, Christchurch, part of the Inflatable World chain of inflatable arenas. It rates 4.3 from 229 Google reviews; visitors mention it most as a party place, with the inflatables and castles coming up regularly.
Venues like this turn a warehouse into a hall of bouncy castles, slides and obstacle courses, best suited to primary-school-age children, with entry usually by timed session. The halls are sealed, air-filled spaces that warm up through the day, so light clothing makes afternoon visits more comfortable. Staffing at these venues tends to sit at reception rather than on the floor, so supervising your own children is part of the visit. Weekend party slots at popular centres fill early, so booking ahead is the usual move.
For Hornby and Hei Hei families, it makes a handy all-weather answer to birthday parties and rainy weekends on Christchurch's west side.
