One of our biggest attractions at Wonderfly Arena is our giant inflatable hamster balls. You’ve probably seen these before on TV game shows or the state fair, but now you can try them out for yourself! These 10ft tall orbs are great for the whole family to try out. Similar to our bubble balls, the giant hamster balls allow for all sorts of rolling, racing, bouncing and bumping, while safely inside the cushioned ball. If you have good balance, you can stand up inside and walk which will propel the ball forward. Make sure to stay focused though, if the ball gets rolling faster than your feet realize you may tumble and do a somersault. Falling in a hamster doesn’t hurt however, it feels similar to a bounce house or an air mattress so be ready to get back up and give it another try. You can also have your friends and family help roll you, and we always have on-hand staff to assist with this as well as getting in and out.
