1. What is a Zorb Ball?

A Zorb Ball, also known as "looook Mum, those hamster zorb balls, there, there, over there, can we go?", is either a:

• Large round inflatable transparent ball, called a Land Zorb, that a person climbs fully inside and rolls around safely, just like a Hamster in a Ball!

• Or a smaller ball, known as a Bubble Zorb (all thanks to One Direction naming them that). The Bubble Zorb is firstly placed over the head of the guest, either whilst they are standing or laying on their front. They then pull the ball over themselves and put on the harness inside the ball (just like a backpack), so that their head, arms and torso are protected inside the ball, while their legs are free, enabling them to run around safely to play games, crash, roly-poly and generally have a great time.

Hamster Zorb provides both of these Zorb Ball options, in a high-quality commercial grade material, for hire across the UK for events, parties, schools, corporate team building, and festivals.

​

2. How Does a Hamster Zorb Ball Work?

The Zorb Balls are pre-inflated with air ahead of your active time and at the end of the booking they cleaned and deflated. After it is inflated, the zorb is then sealed, and guests can safely walk, run, crash or roll inside it.

The internal harness of the Bubble Zorb keeps the person secure while allowing free movement.

​

3. Is Zorbing Safe?

Yes, absolutely when the session is operated correctly and supervised properly. Hamster Zorb equipment is professionally maintained and supervised to ensure safe use.
