A water slide is a tall inflatable you climb and slide down into a pool or splash lane, while a slip-n-slide is a long, low lane you run and slide across. Water slides bring the big wow factor, and slip-n-slides are all about a running, splashing race.

Which fits your party

  • Water slide: height, climbing, and a big splash landing
  • Slip-n-slide: fast, low, running fun across a long lane
  • Some units combine both for the best of each

Not sure which your crowd will love? We can help you pick, and some of our slides include a slip-n-slide lane.

Slip-n-slide vs water slide: what is the difference?

A water slide is a tall inflatable you climb and slide down into a pool or lane. A slip-n-slide is a long, low lane you run and slide across. Some units combine both.

Can I rent a slide with both?

Yes, several of our slides include a slip-n-slide landing lane so you get the climb, the drop, and the running splash in one unit.
