Life with kids is busy — and when the playtime window opens, you want to make the most of it. The good news? Setting up (and packing away) your Mini Rhae jumping castle doesn’t have to be a chore. With these quick tips, you can go from “let’s play!” to bouncing bliss — and back again — in minutes.
1. Pick the Perfect Spot First
Choose a flat, open area before unpacking. This avoids having to shuffle the castle around after it’s inflated. For the Arch-O-Rama, make sure there’s enough ceiling clearance and space for the blower.
2. Know Your Inflation Method
- Hop ’n’ Play: Plug in the built-in electric pump, switch the dial to inflate, and watch it inflate in minutes. No extra equipment needed.
- Arch-O-Rama: Attach the included fan blower, secure the air flap, and let it run until the castle is fully inflated in approximately 1 minute! (blower stays on during play).
3. Keep Essentials Handy
Store smaller accessories — like your cleaning cloth and ground stakes (for outdoor use) — in the castle’s storage bag so they’re always ready to go. The Hop ’n’ Play has its extension cord built in, and the Arch-O-Rama’s power cord is attached to the fan blower, so just keep the blower itself in a nearby spot for quick setup when playtime begins.
4. The Takedown Trick
- Hop ’n’ Play: Use the built-in pump to deflate — no need to press down, as the pump will remove the air for you. You’ll know it’s fully deflated when you can no longer see any air being sucked out.
- Arch-O-Rama: Switch off the blower, untie the air tube, and gently fold in sections as the air escapes.
5. Fold Like a Pro
Once deflated, fold the castle in half lengthwise, then in half again. Keep folding until it fits neatly into its storage bag. Avoid cramming — it’s easier to set up next time when folded properly.
Mini Rhae Play Tip: Involve your kids in takedown — it’s a fun way to teach responsibility, and little one’s love helping “squish” the air out.
