What Obstacles are in a Fairground Fun House?

A fairground funhouse offers an exhilarating adventure through a series of creative and challenging obstacles that entertain and amuse visitors of all ages. At We Are Tricycle, our funhouses are designed to provide both fun and a little bit of challenge.

But what will you see when you race through this funfair attraction? Here are some of the typical obstacles you might encounter in the standard fairground fun house:

• Funhouse Mirrors: These distorting mirrors alter your reflection in bizarre and hilarious ways, making you appear taller, shorter, or curiously shaped. You might see a similar effect in the Hall of Mirrors.

• Hamster Wheels: Also known as the "Barrel of Fun" or "Barrel of Love", these large, rotating cylinders challenge you to walk through without tumbling over, adding a mix of fun and difficulty as you try to maintain your balance.

• Spinning Disks: These are platforms that spin around as you try to cross them, requiring careful coordination and balance to navigate successfully.

• Punching Bag Mazes: A common feature in a fun house is a room filled with mini punching bags hanging from the ceiling that you must weave through. This tests your agility and provides a good physical workout.

• Trick Floors: Surfaces with unexpected movements, such as rotating sections or tiles that shift under your weight, are designed to catch you off guard and add an element of surprise.

• Climbing Poles: You might even encounter poles that you must climb down or manoeuvre around, adding a vertical challenge to the mix of obstacles.

• Slippery Slopes: Can you conquer inclined planes and slides, coated with a slippery surface that challenge you to climb without sliding back down?

• Squeeze Walls: Narrow passageways with inflatable walls that you must push through, squeezing your way to the other side.

These obstacles are designed to create a playful and sometimes challenging environment that makes navigating through the funhouse such an enjoyable experience. Perfect for themed events, team building days, or just as a part of a larger funfair, funhouses bring laughter and joy to any event, encouraging guests to let loose and enjoy the whimsical side of life.
