How do you call or describe this equipment in English? It is made of balloons, and used with blown up for an annual summer festival in my hometown, and my little niece enjoys jumping on air cushions inside of this like you do on a trampoline. Can I say "air dorm"? Thank you!

bouncy castle - a large inflatable structure, typically in the form of a stylized castle or other building, on which children can jump and play.

most have already responded - but I just wanted to add that I have only ever heard it referred to as "bounce house". yes, even if its not in the shape of a house, still "bounce house". very common in kids parties. Cheers!

I'm a US speaker. There's probably some regional variation. Where I live (in the US Northeast) it is called a "bouncy house" or a "bouncy castle." A Google News search shows that "bounce house" is also common.
