Is 7 too old for a bouncy castle party?

Planning what to do for DD's birthday this year - we had booked the village hall for her 5th birthday in 2020 before lockdown kicked in and had to cancel.

I would like to do a party for her this year but am wondering if 7 is too old for a bouncy castle party?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

No! Not at all. Your issue will be stopping the parents from bouncing…. Wink

No! Kids ( and adults!!) of all ages love a bouncy castle party!

Prob too old for a standard bouncy castle- but you can get ones with slides, part disco ones, obstacle courses- choose a more interesting one imo

I'm 40 and don't consider myself too old for a bouncy castle!!!

Local party venue near me does bouncy castle parties up to age 11.

My daughter is having a bouncy castle party for her 7th, she requested it.

Gosh, no, my 9 year old one had one last year and Granny was never off it either!

Erm, I had a bouncy castle party for my 40th birthday!
Go for it 🤣

Definitely not too old but I'd probably get an inflatable slide/obstacle course at that age.

I would say definitely not. Ds went to a 7th birthday party in the summer with a bouncy castle. Kids didn't move off the bouncy castle until it was time for food. They loved it!

Thanks all! Will order the bouncy castle in that case!
