Imagine wrapping yourself in a giant, inflatable bubble and running, bouncing, and crashing into friends or family during a game of football outdoors. This is exactly what the private bubble football experience in Amsterdam offers. For just $22 per person, you can spend between 30 minutes to an hour playing this wildly fun game in the scenic area of Amsterdam West. Led by friendly instructors, you’ll be bouncing around in inflatable bubbles, trying to score goals, all while enjoying a lighthearted, safe environment.
What we love most about this experience is how it blends physical activity with pure fun and a touch of friendly competition. The scenic outdoor setting means you get to enjoy Amsterdam’s fresh air and spacious surroundings, which makes the game even more enjoyable. Plus, it’s perfect for groups of friends, families, or colleagues looking for something different from typical sightseeing or dining.
A possible consideration is that this activity isn’t suited for everyone. If you or someone in your group has mobility issues or is pregnant, this might not be the best fit. Also, since it’s an outdoor game, be prepared for weather variability — a rainy day could dampen the fun.
This tour is ideal for active groups who enjoy humorous, light-hearted challenges and want to bond over a shared, memorable activity. Families with kids aged 8+ will also find it a great way to burn off energy while having a good laugh.

What to Expect During Your Bubble Football Experience
When you arrive, you’ll follow signs to Loods 2, where a friendly staff member will welcome you. The activity begins with a quick briefing from your instructor, who will explain the rules and ensure everyone understands how to safely bounce around in the inflatable bubbles. The whole process is straightforward enough for first-timers, and the inflatable bubbles themselves provide a cushioned, secure environment that minimizes injury risk.
Once ready, you’ll split into teams — usually two or more — and then the fun begins. As you don your inflatable bubble, you’ll notice how light and bouncy they are, but don’t worry, they’re designed to absorb any collisions. We loved the hilarious chaos that ensues when players bounce into each other, trip over their own feet, or tumble onto the grass, often erupting into fits of laughter.
The game itself resembles traditional football but with a comedic twist. The goal is to score points by kicking the ball into the net — but more often than not, players are too busy bouncing around or crashing into opponents to focus on scoring. Some reviews describe the experience as “hilarious,” with participants quoting, “Bounce, roll, and crash while playing football in bubbles,” which perfectly captures the essence.
A refreshment break is built into the schedule, providing a chance to catch your breath and share a few laughs over drinks, with the game then continuing for a second half. The instructor, acting as referee, keeps the game fair and ensures everyone stays safe while having a blast.

Included and Not Included
The experience comes with all necessary materials — inflatable bubbles, footballs, and safety instructions — plus a friendly instructor or referee. However, it does not include food or drinks, so plan to bring your own refreshments or grab something nearby beforehand. Also, there’s no hotel pickup or drop-off, so transportation to the venue is up to you.
The Location and Logistical Details
The activity begins and ends at the same spot — Loods 2 — conveniently marked with clear signs. The outdoor venue is spacious and scenic, offering a perfect backdrop for this energetic activity. Since this is a private group experience, it’s tailored to your party alone, which enhances the relaxed, fun atmosphere.
Booking is flexible: you can reserve your spot without payment upfront, and cancellation is free if you cancel up to 24 hours in advance. The activity is conducted in English and Dutch, and the minimum group size is four participants, making it a great choice for small groups or larger parties.
Why This Experience Stands Out
Unlike typical sightseeing tours or museum visits, bubble football provides an active, humorous break from your usual itinerary. It’s a low-pressure way to get moving and share some laughs, especially if your group enjoys sports or physical comedy. The outdoor setting also means you’ll benefit from fresh air and open space, which adds to the overall enjoyment.
Many reviews highlight how fun and memorable the experience is, with one calling it “top,” and another emphasizing the “hilarious gameplay.” The fact that it’s suitable for kids 8 and up makes it accessible for families, while the team-building aspect appeals to groups seeking a collective experience.
