29 Amazing Backyards That Will Blow Your Kids’ Minds
For most kids lucky enough to grow up with a backyard, a Slip N’ Slide is about as fun as it gets.
But as fun as a Slip N’ Slide is, it can’t touch the jaw-droppingly awesome things found in some of the world’s most amazing backyards, things like:
1. A Wiffle Ball Stadium
Known as Riley Field, this backyard stadium in Mumford, New York, hosts regular tournaments and leagues.
2. A Roller Coaster
Indiana grandfather John Ivers built “The Blue Flash” for his grandkids. The gauntlet has been thrown, granddads.
3. An Ice Hockey Rink
Coolest backyard ever, eh?
4. The Waterslide of Doom
Kids, let me save you the trouble of asking. The answer is, “No, your parents won’t build this in your backyard.”
5. A Supersized Tree House
Dallas-based grandparents Steve and Jeri Wakefield built this 100 square foot structure for their grandsons. It has a climbing wall, slide, and zip line!

This playhouse from PoshTots goes for $52,000.

All the bouncing with half the injuries.

Heinz and Hildegard Schonewolf of Dudweiler, Germany, spent 37 years of their life building this 350 square foot, liveable castle in their backyard. I want to go to there.
14. An Inflatable Theater
The 16 by 13 foot screen inflates in just five minutes and turns any backyard into a full fledged movie theater.
