The simple answer is you can't. The company that holds the Zorb trademark is unwilling to sell individual units, mostly due to the cost and liability. Zorbs are big and time consuming to make. And while there hasn't been any known injuries to date in a Zorb ball, it could still happen if place in unprepared hands. However, you can contact Zorb if you have a nice location to set it up and want to start your own franchise course. But, the start up investment is 1.5-2mill and they will need to own you land.
But.... you can buy a zorbing ball, which is not a name, but an adjective. The companies that produce the balls for the Zorb company make the same and better balls for other entities. Of these, places to ride are now popping up everywhere.
Companies like ZorbNewEngland, Hydro-core, Hyper-core, Vertiglobe, Spheremania, Downhill Revolution, and many more are taking over the industry, legally, and making it available to the common consumer using stronger, more transparent balls and charging half the price. ZorbNewEngland even offers giant mazes, soccer, Bowling, pool, and other games you play from inside a zorbing ball, but on flat land.
