When you used to fantasize about what kind of house you’d live in one day, did it have all kinds of crazy stuff like a trampoline, a pinball machine, a mini basketball court, a soda machine, and so much room that you could skateboard around the place without running into anything? Yes, we watched Big way too many times too. But there’s one thing that Tom Hanks’ enormous loft didn’t have: its own slide. You don’t need to be a kid to see why having a slide in your home could actually be practical — you can just zip from one floor to the next! — which could explain why the trend seems to be catching on around the globe. Click through for some of our favorite examples of houses with built-in slides.

This is an awesome trend that basically embodies everything that is right in the world.
It should be mandatory for every house should have a slide from this day forward. It would help keep us all playful like we are meant to be!!!
It makes sense, now that I’ve seen it in action.
also, it’s easier than stairs, so it’s fun plus also good.

My brother is plotting to put a firemen’s pole in his closet to get to his video game room below. Similar idea and takes up less room.

Brilliant! If I ever custom build a house, a slide WILL be included. Think about how practical it is…not even if you’re a child. You could just “slide” the laundry basket down the stairs.
