Abstract
The present invention relates to a facility for playing which comprises a plurality of balloons ( ) retained in a space defined by a partition member ( ), and at least one air supply device ( ) for causing air to flow within the space, wherein the partition member ( ) is constituted by an air permeable member and/or an air impermeable member, wherein the air supply device ( ) is provided adjacent the bottom of the space inside and/or outside the space. The air permeable member constitutes at least a portion of the partition member ( ) located adjacent the air supply device ( ) provided outside the space as opposed thereto. The air impermeable member constitutes a portion of the partition member ( ) located in a spaced and opposed relation to the air supply device ( ), or provided downstream of the air supply device ( ). The air stream supplied from the air supply device ( ) is deflected by the air impermeable member opposed to the air supply device ( ) to flow upward, so that the balloons ( ) retained in the space are stirred by the air stream from the air supply device ( ) and the upward air stream thereby to float and swirl.
