Our institutional Play parachutes are made with nylon construction with reinforced webbing and handles and a mesh centre to allow air to flow out. These are strong play parachutes made to withstand all the abuse that children can put on equipment. We know that you can purchase lower cost ones that will be good for a weekend birthday party but if you have a youth group or summer camp that sees hundreds of kids every week you won't need to worry about replacing these ones.
The multi-coloured parachutes are a must have for any group ranging from 1 year old to 101 years old. A very versatile piece of equipment that can be used with other light weight items such as those in our Play Parachute Kit.
All parachutes come with a stuff sack. Choose a size, measured across (diameter).

The parachute is great: colourful, strong, durable, handles close enough together that even little kids can grab two if needed. We love how easy it is to pack it back into its bag -no excessive wadding and effort as with others we’d tried; the bag is compact, but roomy enough that we can just easily stuff the shute back in. We enjoy the free little “bumpy ball” that came with it, too. I wish we had more people who wanted to play so we could use a bigger one, but the 12′ is exactly right for the number usually available.
Emily Coates –
purchased it as a gift for my son’s daycare and the daycare provider says the kids love it and it’s the perfect size for inside and as well for outside once the weather permits.
Emily Coates –
I have 4 children who always want others over for playdates on our acreage and we tend to have some fun birthday parties with activities for the kids and grown ups to do. Have wanted a play parachute for a while and am so happy to have found your company. The parachute is awesome and the quality is good. We got the 24 foot one which is great with all the handles. Colours are vibrant and I look forward to years of fun with it. We are thinking of having the soccer team we coach play with it for fun before or after a game.
Emily Coates –
Good and sturdy, currently using in South America at an elementary school. Have only had to repair once.
Emily Coates –
great service. inquiries were responded to quickly, product delivered quickly. the parachute is like a kid magnet at our seasonal campground! We’ve made forts, played “mushroom (everyone steps under the parachute and sits on the edge, sitting in an air bubble), “shark” (person in the middle drags people underneath while a lifeguard tries to save them, “cat and mouse” (one kid on the top tries to find another kid underneath) – the games you can play are almost endless. Well worth the money.
Emily Coates –
Wonderful! We love using it for cooperative games.
Emily Coates –
It was wonderful!! We actually purchased 2 of them to take to Africa with us. The eyes of the children got as big as saucers as soon as we pulled them out. They had a wonderful time playing with them and in their broken English they were able to say of the instructions of the games. Up, up, up, up…..and Down and Shake, shake, shake. We had balls bouncing & popping off in every direction. They loved being “caught” underneath too! These children have nothing, and we were looking for something that would be unique and easy to pack in our bag for the flight. An additional ante dote…when we first pulled it out one of the staff said that they had only ever seen one on television, but we didn’t let them know that it was actually theirs to keep until the last day. When we were able to pass on the parachute…She jumped up about 3 ft and squealed with delight hugging the parachute, and then hugging us. “Oh what fun the children will have…Oh what fun!!” She kept repeating. Thank-you for being a small part of the wonderful gift this was to a child who has nothing. The delight on the faces of the children and staff there, is something that we, as a team, will never forget.
Emily Coates –
It looks great. We plan to use it for our VBS this summer so we have not “kid” tested it yet. Thanks for the extra balls to play games with.

The parachute provides fitness and fun for all. The school children love to play all sorts of games using the parachute in ways that I wasn’t aware of. We used the parachute everyday outdoors while at our Children’s Playground program. This product is top quality as all your products are!
Emily Coates –
Bright and colourful
Emily Coates –
We bought the 24 foot parachute for my son’s 7-year birthday party. It was a smash hit. Both kids and parents loved planing with it. It generated a team spirit and we had lots of laughs. The parachute is well built, with sturdy handles. My only wish is that there were a hole in the middle rather than mesh, so someone could stand at the center. We plan to bring it to every outdoor party for many years to come.
Emily Coates –
We used the parachute a few weeks ago for kids party and it was great. The kids loved the parachute and it seems to be made of good material.
Emily Coates –
My wife is a kindergarten teacher and knows how much kids enjoy play parachutes, so we decided we needed one for home! We’ve used it for lots of games in the backyard, my daughter has used it as a babysitting activity, and we hope to use it indoors for building “forts”. We are glad we went with the 20′ as a smaller one wouldn’t feel as impressive and larger gets unruly. The quality of the stitching, fabric and storage bag were all execellent, and expect it will last us for years to come.
Newf –
Perfect for home use, need 4 or 5 parents holding it with the kids playing whichever game
Emily Coates –
Playgroups are much better with the parachute but will have to invest in a bigger one soon.
Emily Coates –
Really sturdy and good quality. Will stand up to lots of tugging!
Bobbie –
I use it for my little two year old class and the handles are perfect for them to hold and it is a great size for a smaller room!

Emily Coates –
As described, great product.
Emily Coates –
We purchased this for our summer day camp with children at our church. It was great. The kids loved the games we played with the parachute.
Emily Coates –
I purchases the parachute this past summer for my daughter’s birthday party and it was a hit! We used water balloons in the middle which made it fun although with all of the kids pulling on it the mesh in the middle pulled apart. Otherwise very good product and will make good use out of it for my dayhome.
Emily Coates –
I run a Moms and Tots group and the kids love the parachute.
Emily Coates –
The 24′ multi colored parachute is great, the quality is excellent and the kids all love the vibrant colors. It stores away easily and dosn’t take up a lot of room. I would definalty recommend this product to anyone who is thinking about purchasing it.
Emily Coates –
Two of these parachutes were ordered, one to be donated to camp, and one for my grandchildren to play with. Everybody has loved these parachutes! They inspire imaginative play — the children have used them in all sorts of ways outdoors and now that winter’s here the parachutes have been brought inside for more fun. Next time I plan to order the largest size parachutes available!
Emily Coates –
Its been good so far. Lots of fun.
Piano Stars –
We use the 20′ parachute for games in our summer music camps & the kids LOVE it! The handles are easy to grip & the quality of the parachute material seem very strong. We used it many times already & there is no sign of wear or damage. This one is large enough to make a balloon house for everyone to sit under. The price was great too! You will not be disappointed.
Emily Coates –
This item was exactly what we were looking for. It arrived quickly without any complications and it is bright, colourful and built tough. Thank you for your service.
Kate Fortin –
I purchased this parachute from you guys cause I lived in Calgary so I wouldn’t have to pay shipping and handling and could come pick it up myself. I ordered it on a Thursday night and by 3:30 on Friday I received a voicemail saying you guys had dropped it off in my mailbox! That’s the best service I’ve ever had.
I have yet to use the parachute, as my purpose of purchasing it is to bring with me to Africa for my 6 month volunteer trip so I can do something fun with the children.
Thanks so much again!
Carol –
Lots of fun and the kids love it!

I bought this parachute for my daughter’s birthday party. It was a great size and the kids loved it. I only decided to buy the parachute a few days before the party and the staff of Lynx Leisure where exceptional on making the special arrangements to ensure it arrived on time for the party.
Tanya Bailey –
Was an excilent product, just smaller than we were expecting as we had never had one before. Arrived very quickly was nice.
K Seto –
I purchased this parachute to to use in my preschool learn to skate class. It is sturdy, colorful, a good size, and the kids love using it. All said a good choice.
Jennifer Archer –
Parachute was easy to buy, delivered quickly, no problems or issues. It was also offered for nearly 50% less than a local educational supply store. I would buy from this company again.
Thanks
Jennifer
Tomi Karakochuk –
Our playschool children LOVE playing with the parachute! Could not believe how fast it was shipped to us! Very happy with everything!
Jennifer Arenas –
We purchased this for our Beaver Scouts group and they have an absolute blast with it. So many different games can be played with it.

Fantastic item. I bought it as a gift for my Granddaughters boy scout troupe. The Kids love it.
Shipping was extremely fast and Item was exactly as described.
THANKS goes to Lynx Leisure for wonder customer service.
Lesley Powley –
I am part of a large multi site church in Oakville Ontario and am extremely pleased with Lynx Leisure Inc.I have ordered twice from Lynx Leisure and both times have been more than satisfied. My first time they contacted me personally to help clear up a question and to speed up my delivery as I needed a rush delivery, ( which they made on time!) With the second order everything was also excellent.
The service is great the price was reasonable and the product is a huge hit with the many many children we minister to each and every week.
Thanks I will continue to order in the future.
Joanne Day –
I bought this as a birthday gift for a 2 year old. On initial inspection, the parachute looks to be of good quality. The storage bag is a little disappointing, with it’s prominent place of manufacture. I wasn’t expecting the balls in the box. Unfortunately, two were squashed in transit. Overall, I was satisfied and would buy from you again.
Kimberly Clarke –
Product exactly as promised and extremely fast turn around time in receiving . Bonus was x5 plastic balls in the box which are appreciated
Tracy Wolkins –
Greetings Chris,
The service we received from you was excellent…kind and speedy!!

Julie –
There is nothing like a parachute to keep kids happy. So far the parachute has lived through lots of fun.
Linda Alpi –
Ordering was easy, delivery was quick, item looks well made, will see how it holds up under children use.
Thank you so much!
Kris Dawson –
Very happy with this parachute. The skaters on the ice love to try to get under it before it catches them. Service was top notch too. Can’t wait to make more purchases!
Susan Olar –
Wonderful product. Kids love it.
Big and brightly colored
Wobize Chan –
Kids love it!
Elizabeth –
Ordering online and shipping arrangements were easy. I received an email,within a day, which answered the questions I had. Item was received quickly and it was well packaged. I have used the parachute only once with the children but so far I am very pleased with the quality. Handles are reinforced and it looks like we will be able to enjoy this parachute for a long time. The free items(rockets) were appreciated. it was hazzle free and I am sure I will order future items from this Canadian company.
Sylvia Cao –
The parachute was made of very good quality materials; it withstood rough tugging and pulling with ease. Shipping was also very prompt, and customer service was polite and quick as well. Overall, the kids and I are very happy with the product!
Nellie Starke –
Should be lots of fun.
M and C. Tremblay –
The Play Parachute is a great outdoor game for all ages. We will be taking the parachute with us to an orphanage in north east Africa in February 2012. We know the kids at the home will love the parachute and what better icebreaker?
Karyn Boyd –
We purchased the play parachute to be part of our educational/ team work tours we offer at our farm. The kids love it and the product is really good quality!
Word of Life Church –
We purchased a 12′ and a 20′ parachute for our children’s church program and were so pleased with the quality and the prompt, helpful service from Lynx Leisure that we plan on ordering at least another 15 for our church campuses in Africa, Turkey and India. Kids LOVE these! And it’s so great to have an activity that is fun, bright, educational (we play review games), involves so many kids at once, is light weight and easy to transport!
Susan – Home of Hope –
Our non-profit organization bought 11 play parachutes to send to Africa in May. Last year we bought 2 for the children in Africa and they just loved them. Suggestion: can you insert children’s game ideas with the parachutes?
Most of the people in Africa have never seen anything like a play parachute before and they don’t really know how to use it. But the kids still love seeing it fly up and down – the colours are really great!
Daniel Chui –
Awesome shipping time. Ordered on Monday, arrived on Wednesday. The kids all love it. Would definitely buy again…maybe larger :). Would be nice if it came with a pamphlet of parachute game ideas though…
Brenda Dunn –
I found the website to very detailed and easy to negotiate and understand and the delivery of the product to be efficient. The product is of high quality. We look forward to using it for many years in our beaver scout program!
Janet Ann Jacques –
The ordering process was very easy and straightforward
Contact information was good
I am very pleased with the product and so grateful that you are located in Calgary as this was a last minute order and delivery time was an issue as I needed the item within a week and got it in plenty of time
Christine –
The parachute is great for the usual uses but also to make forts indoors in the winter and outdoors in the summer.
The service was superior. And, it’s great to be able to buy from a Canadian company and save shipping/duty costs as well as supporting A Canadian company.
Karen Mac Donald –
Honestly it looked great and was delivered in a decent time but we have not used it yet as it is,as we speak, on a flight to entertain the less fortunate children in Belize, Central America.I purchased it to send will a group of university students on a “service learning” trip. I can let you know when they return what the reaction was. Karen
M. Cressman –
Size perfect! Looking forward to using the item with various groups. Easy to carry from one location another. Quick delivery.
Thank you!
Sandy MacNeil –
To play with a 24 foot parachute is awesome!! There are many games and the children love to play with this toy
Lisa Kordiaka –
We had recently purchased the parachute to use for a church outreach program called MOPS (Mother of Preschoolers). We look after about 30 children from infancy to Senior Kindergarten. They had been using a small 10 ft parachute but it just wasn’t cutting it! So we ordered your 20 ft parachute and it is so fantastic! The kids LOVE it! (and the adults do too!) It provided safe fun for all and kept us busy and happy 🙂 The quality of the parachute was great and stood up to the abuse of many rambunctious kids! I was also very impressed with the price, as it was much more affordable than some other places. And fast shipping too! Thank you!
Janet Hisey –
The parachutes were in excellent condition. Very pleased.
Daphnee –
This parachute is well made, I got very fast shipping. This size is perfect to make a mushroom bubble! You need at least 5 people to use this size. So much fun!
Jen L –
Great customer service. Quick correspondence throughout transaction and no hassle exchange when I wanted to switch the size ordered. Purchased for a kids camp and can’t wait to use it. Will definitely use again for purchases of outdoor sports equipment.
Allison Reschny –
Very good quality and fun but maybe should have went with the size bigger!
Sonja Malaniuk –
Order parachute and it was delivered very fast. Will be ordering more stuff soon
Lesley Powley –
Have been buying these parachutes for 2 years now as our numbers of children grow in all our classrooms. never had a problem the children and teachers love them and the price is great compared to other suppliers. Plus I can order them in Canada!!
Customer service is amazing they always try to get my order to me even when I call at the last minute.
Joannie Robertson –
Great exercise for our seniors.
Brian Donnelly –
The kids love the parachute !
Maria S. though prefer to remain anonymous –
this parachute can withstand the strongest of flaps and pulls on the handles. we are very happy with this product.
Lloyd Mohr –
Used it today with a group of children and it was the perfect size (8 children and a couple of adults). So far so good.

…but most importanly the children I teach have such a blast with this product. I used it with grades 1-9!
Dion Krause –
Thank you Lynx Leisure for your helpful and efficient service. The parachute was a great addition to our school campout.
Caroline –
Bought this for home use for our little one. Its great!! Well made!
Jocelyn Wilson –
The day after I placed my order online a rep from Lynx Leisure phoned me to let me know that a few items were not in stock and gave me a few different options. All the of the options were agreeable, but I just asked that they send all the products once they arrived and the rep assured me it would be before the end of the year. When my order arrived, it was at least a week earlier than I expected, all the products were there and I couldn’t be happier with the Parachutes I ordered and the awesome customer service!
I will order from this company again in the future and highly recommend them, I honestly cannot believe how good the customer service is compared to other companies I’ve ordered from online. Great job!
Catherine MacDonald –
The play parachute that I ordered is a very durable product. Make sure you order the correct size as it may be to big for your location. I would definitely order from this company again!
S. Ramsay –
Great overall experience. Spoke with client service excellent service, product knowledge, and shipping knowledge. Product was delivered before estimated delivery date. Packaging was clean and tidy as well as parachute came in own carrying/storage bag.
Parachute was very bright, colourful, and well made. Looks like the pictures. Always a bonus!!
Thank you for fun times ahead.
Julie Ball –
We took the parachutes to Kenya and Tanzania to play with. Kids and adults had a lot of fun. We used it in combination with ball pit balls.

Nikki Imeson –
Great quality & durability for price
Lesley Powley –
Over the last few months our company has purchased a number of the multicoloured parachutes for our children’s classrooms. They are of exceptional quality and are in use constantly. We have been very pleased with this product and will continue to purchase them as our classrooms expand. I would highly recommend these parachutes to any group or organization looking for a fun creative way to entertain children. Thanks also to the Lynx Leisure company for very efficient service . The staff there are great to work with.
Alexandra Colp –
The parachute was purchased as a gift for a community, so I was hesitant about buying online as it’s hard to judge the quality when not shopping in person, but I was not disappointed! It arrived within a few days of ordering, and customer service was really helpful when I called with a question prior to placing my order. And a great price to boot!
Audrey Wilson –
Great concept – size was too small (6′). Return policy is excellent as it can be difficult to see size of products on line.
Darquise Bradford –
I would like to thank Chris for the wonderful service I received when I called regarding questions I had about the multicoloured play parachute. Chris responded to all of my questions and re-assured me that the delivery would be here in time (Ottawa) for our early Christmas with our grandchildren who came down all the way from Saskatoon. The parachute was a hit thanks to Chris. Thank you and Merry Christmas I will recommend all of your fun games to all of our friends and family!!!
Judy –
This is our second parachute purchase from Lynx Leisure. The first parachute – the 24 ft model was perfect for a very large gathering of adults and children. We were looking for the same fun value for a smaller group – 10 adults and 8 very young children. The 12 ft parachute provided lots of fun and was a wonderful addition to our grand-daughter’s birthday party. Now we are prepared for large and small parties!
Elizabeth Robinson –
My grandkids loved it! It is a good size to use with toddlers with one or two adults. I thought maybe I should have bought the 8 ft one but my daughter says the 6 ft one is a good size for her to use with her 21 month old daughter.
I also bought a much larger one but have not used it yet. It will be used outside in the summer with my older grandchildren so I cannot review it at present.
Lois Mawby –
The play parachute is an excellent way for children in our Church to get involved and stay involved in our praise and worship. The children enjoyed it so much with the added benefit of having exercise at the same time. We will definitely be using the play parachute on a regular basis.
Joel Schnell –
We got the 24′ parachute. It is awesome. Super durable, very colourful and big enough to play with 20-30 kids no problem. Endless amounts of games and activities you can use it for. Service is excellent, shipping time is great and couldn’t find a better price in Canada!
Barbara Bitzer –
About 20 children and adults had great fun with this parachute which we used at our Messy Church program. The order came promptly and in good condition.
I would recommend the product and service.
don radomski –
We recently purchased a play parachute for our daughter not to use outdoors but to cover her canopy bed to give it a fort like atmosphere. The parachute worked fantastic!! Not only is the material and stitching strong the colors and size that your help line recommended was perfect! This product not only has a ton of out door potential it has turned out to be a lot of indoor fun as well!!
Patti Coburn –
I appreciate that Lynx carries a wide range of parachute sizes and were reasonably priced. I value being able to talk directly to a sales rep to explain my request and to know immediatley if supplies are available and where and when I will receive my purchase. The service & delivery time was exceptional! Thank You.
Melanie Perron –
a high quality product
perfect size for little ones to use
I was pleased with construction and fast shipping
Ron Lowe –
We bought 2 of the 20 FT parachutes and have the school kids use them in drama. The are good quality and have worked well
Tammy Currie –
Our kids love our new parachute. We were unsure of which size to order and settled on the 24 foot one. We are thrilled that we did. It’s the perfect size for 10-20 kids. We look forward to using it for many birthday parties and family reunions.
Michael Carter –
Great value, a fun toy with many uses! The energy comes from the kids, not batteries!
Robin Sorys –
The kids loved it. Seems like good quality, and has had lots of use so far!
Nila Kennett –
The parachute is strong and bright! We plan on using it for large groups of kids at church activities. Wonderful investment.
Ralph Dubienski –
Thanks to the team at Lynx Leisure for the great service in helping Hopethiopia with bringing some fun to kids in Rwanda. We brought one of your great parachute’s with us to help do outreaches with kids in schools as well as to a refugee camp for people fleeing from Burundi.
A great quality product that withstood lots of “intense” play time.
Gillian Hurwood –
Purchased this for a Girl Guide camp. It was a great success with girls waiting very anxiously for their visit to the parachute activity station.
Tyler Truax –
The parachute is great. Just like we had at the school as a kid. Prices were quite good for the quality of the product.
Danielle –
Purchased this parachute for our summer camp. It’s enjoyed by children of all ages.
Cheryl Guise –
Our Girl Guide District bought this parachute as something for the younger groups to use outside. It’s been a big hit and we’ve had requests from the older girls to borrow it as well.
Well made, sturdy construction, we expect to be using it for many years.
Jared –
Product was perfect for my daughters birthday. Arrived quickly and in great condition.
Rev Arlyce Schiebout –
This is the second chute that I have purchased from Lynx. I use the chute for play and learning modules. I watch adults and children have great fun! The product is well constructed and sturdy, and it is easy to pack and go. I recommend the product and the user friendly website, order process, and speedy delivery.
Margaret Roffey –
Our 12 foot parachute is sturdy, colourful, and wonderfully versatile. You can find lots of game ideas online. We are using it at our Day Camp to subtly reinforce the importance of team work. Even better, Lynx called me personally to let me know there might be a delivery delay on Canada Post’s end, but, luckily, there was not. Great company!
Paola Fuentes –
Our kids at camp this past week used the parachutes and they had a wonderful time. The quality of the material is great and strong. We know it will last for future events. We recommend this parachute without hesitation. Thank you!
Aaron Levy –
The parachute is great for indoor and outdoor activities with kids.
L Fong –
Great time had by 4-7 year olds. Easy to pack and bring out when camping. Kids love to sit on it, be under it and throw stuff in it. Bought the 12 ft, wish there was a size in between 20ft. Would have been nice to have a local pickup option.
Editor’s note: We usually offer a Calgary pickup option but while we’re away on vacation we are unable to.
Chantal Gadsby –
What more can you ask for? I’ve been looking online for a play parachute for awhile and this was by far the best price. The quality is fantastic… Everything I was hoping for and the shipping was really fast, even to rural saskatchewan! I’m impressed with the number of different products and will definitely order something again!
Chris Miller –
We had 20 plus eager kids holding on and shaking the daylights out of the parachute and it held strong. Time will tell how long it actually holds up under these conditions but it feels to be of good quality.
as good as the parachute is, dealing with the company was even better.
Lorrie Oliver –
Bought this for my Brownie group, they loved it. Perfect size for 8 to 20 people.
Sean Smith –
Received in a timely manner. Great experience,all the steps in ordering were great. Will be our first place to look for any other items.
Thanks Sean, enjoy the parachute! – Chris
David B. –
Used this for school group ages 4 – 12. They loved it. The hand straps are durable and tough, and overall it is a well made product. Sure that I will get years out of this product.
Lisa Kabool –
Quick shipping, excellent communication. Great transaction, will buy again.
Thanks!
HCA –
Light weight and had lots of movement . Great fun.
Samantha Tawkin –
I purchased this parachute to be used on the ice at our skating club in our CanSkate program. I was not too sure what size to order (was debating between the 24′ and 30′) but was happy I ordered the 24′. I have about 30 kids use it at a time and anything any bigger would be too hard for the little ones to flap up and down. I also talked to the owner on the phone who was super nice and helpful and made me feel reassured in my purchase. Product was received quickly and seems to be very durable. We are quite happy with the purchase!
Bonnie Bradley –
I needed to purchase some parachutes for Kids Club. I found that the prices and quality were great and my order arrived very quickly. I had intended to order some beanbags as well . When speaking with Chris about ordering the beanbags, he was very friendly, helpful and accomodating. I would highly recommend Lynx Leisure Inc. to anyone in need of sports equipment.
Margaret Pfeiffer –
We actually had a chance to use our new parachute at a Day camp we held last week and it was huge success. The kids loved it and it was the highlight of the afternoon.
Linda Bagatavicius –
My grandson loves it. Bought it for his birthday. Excellent quality.
Lesley Powley –
We have been purchasing parachutes from Lynx Leisure for a few years now. We have never been disappointed with the product. We have generally bought two different sizes. The colours are the same as the product photo. The quality is exceptional. The parachutes are used on a frequent basis and we have never had one break or fray. They are a great product and the kids (ours are from 1year – junior Highs) love them.
Thank you Lesley, I saw your order the other week and thought you must of had some more go “walking” on you. – Chris
Bradley –
it came super fast and The quality is great
highly recommend this product
Eva T –
Easy ordering process, arrived in good time, and excellent product quality. Overall good experience
Catherine MacDonald –
I have purchased this product before and it is very durable, we are using this parachute for 730 kids a week. In the future I would again buy this product.
Rock Steady Boxing Sherbrooke, Quebec –
Rock Steady Boxing in Sherbrooke, Quebec is fighting back against Parkinson. We love playing the parachutes games with our boxers. Lots of fun, high quality material. Thanks Lynx !
L’Arche Arnprior –
We are a community comprised of people with and without developmental disabilities. Our previous parachute wore out, so we were looking to replace it with a sturdy, colorful one with handles. This parachute is SO MUCH FUN! The shrieks of excitement on its first use sealed the deal. We chose a 20 foot parachute, much smaller than the previous one, and therefore easier to achieve sufficient loft with. The mesh bit in the middle also helps with airflow. This size is perfect for a group of 20 or so. And it rolled up small enough to return it to its stuff sack – amazing! The only thing missing was some beach balls to add to the excitement (they are now stuffed along with the chute into its stuff sack for future fun)! Thank you so much. It is great to be able to support a Canadian business.
Editor’s note: Thank you for the review! Beach balls are an excellent idea for a parachute and they’re easily deflated to put away like you said. We’ve found that kids really like ping pong balls also especially when playing “Parachute Popcorn”.
Pauline Ulatowski –
This parachute is well made, nice size handles , and wonderful colours. Use it in play school. And also at a old people home. Now I would like a bigger one.

I did not want to wait for shipping so ordering online was not an option. I really appreciated the personalized service. Our family has been enjoying the parachute though it will not get its full usage until Calgary warms up a bit for longer than a day!
Thanks Carey, it’s always easy when you’re in town. Here’s hoping for warmer weather soon but in the mean time enjoy your play parachute inside.

I haven’t actually used this product myself. I bought it for use in a Primary School in Rwanda. The kids there have very few play things and this is one that they can all enjoy together. They love it!!.

The kids in our Spring Break Camp loved this – who doesn’t love parachutes? We bought 2 different sizes and mainly just used the larger one as we had a large number of kids. The kids loved playing under the parachute as well as on top of it. Great product, made very well.

Bought this for our annual camping trip with 5 families! As soon as I took out the parachute they all came running out of the forest and it kept them entertained for hours!

Purchased the parachute to be used in kids summer camps. I looked all over and everything else was too pricey or bad quality. The one from Lynx is amazing, Great price- cheapest I could find and even better quality. The kids love it! Speedy deliver and great customer service when I called.

I am so happy to have purchased 2 parachutes for our Girl Guiding units. What a great experience ordering from you.

We weren’t sure which size to order as it is intended for mostly indoor use in a small play area at our church. Bought the 12′ and think it will work nicely for our indoor space and little guys but would recommend a bigger one for outdoors. We took it out for a picnic where it felt a bit small in a huge field. Amazingly tough material though – we could throw & catch a small child with it!
Elaine Dunphy –
Excellent, efficient service. Great quality product and great customer service. Will definitely order from Lynx Leisure again!!
Natalka Williams –
I love the parachute except that is it a bit noisy. My last parachute was a softer nylon and so made less noise. I will use it however and am happy to have one of such good quality.
Hi Natalka, Once the play parachute gets scrunched up a few times the noise will be less depending on what activity you’re using it for. I guarantee that it will last A LOT LONGER then those other nylon ones. – Chris

This item was delivered very quickly – Calgary to Oshawa Ontario in 4 short days. Amazing! The parachute was GREAT fun at our recent church picnic. It is very sturdily built and took some very rough play, easily. Some had never seen one, let alone played with one, before. And the price was the best I could locate on the internet. Thank you!!!

Love this parachute! Very well made. Strong material and the vent in the middle is awesome. So much fun and easy to pack away into the bag. Would buy again.

I love this parachute, I used it as a circus tent and it provided shade and was rainproof! Thankyou for the quality product and fast shipping.

Perfect size for 20ish small children who had a great time with the parachute games. Used for games with Vacation Bible School. Sales people were helpful & included a pdf file of parachute games to use. Product was good quality and held up well to the vigorous use of many little kids. Priced appropriately. Would definitely recommend and purchase again.

Product was great and service was outstanding.

Used it for the first time at our grandson’s birthday party. It was a fantastic size and seemingly well constructed. Having more handles, than most, for little hands was a bonus. Lots of children could fit around it will lots of elbow room. Delivery was very fast. This will be great for outdoor play this coming summer.
Stacy Puttick –

First of all I have not yet tried this product, as I am taking this to African to our orphanage. I gave it three stars cause on their website for every parachute that was ordered you received balls for popcorn game. I should have received 60 balls but I have not received ANY!
Editor’s note: Whoops! We try to fulfill all orders 100% accurate but once in a while a squirrel runs by (unscheduled shipment arrives, courier picks up early, etc ) and the package we were working on gets taped up and shipped out without everything in it. The customer has been called and these will be going out right away. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

What a great company to work with! Quick to reply and did all that they could to help our mission trips!
Editor’s note: Thank you for the kind words! I’m positive the kids will enjoy the play parachutes you take over to Africa.

We are definitely satisfied with the play parachute we purchased for our skating club. It is a real hit with all age group of skaters. It adds extra excitement to the end of each lesson. I was pleasantly surprised by the fast shipping! I also really appreciated the personal email from Chris confirming my address. The online ordering was very efficient and strait forward and I would not hesitate to place another order or recommend this product and company to others!!
