Yes! All of our units are cleaned thoroughly. We are committed to making sure that your children are playing in a clean, well maintained, and safe environment. After each rental, every unit is thoroughly cleaned by commercial vinyl cleaners, disinfected, and sanitized. Once the unit is clean, it will be inspected to ensure cleanliness and safety.

Our inflatables can be set up on grass, cement, concrete, asphalt, or even indoors with a different anchoring system available for every possible combination. When placing your reservation, please let us know on what type of terrain your rental will be installed. Inflatables that are setup on grass are anchored with long steel stakes, while inflatables that are setup on other surfaces or indoors are anchored with sandbags. We cannot set up inflatables on gravel, stone, or mulch (or any surface that can cause tears or holes, or excessive wear).

This policy applies to all conditions, emergencies or non-emergency, weather, or any other situation that calls for the cancellation or reschedule.

Weather can be tricky, especially in the summer. Our main concern is strong wind or very dangerous weather, in which case we will call in advance to let you know we cannot deliver and credit you from the amount you pay.  

Besides this, it is your call if you’d still like to have an inflatable for your event. If you cancel within 72 hours of the event, we will credit you for future use. If you cancel more than 72 hours of the event, will refund you.  Please note cancellations on the day of the event forfeits any funds we have collected for that event.

We like to arrive early for set up so that your rental items can be used the entire time you have your reservation for. This can be anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours before the event, depending on deliveries taking place that day.

 

Please note, for park events, we arrive closer to the reservation start time, however, we must have an adult available to receive and attend the equipment from drop off to pickup.

Please be sure that the park you plan to have your event at allows bounce houses or other rental items you are interested in BEFORE you make a reservation. Most parks do not have electricity, so please be sure to either rent out a generator from our site or provide another power source for any rentals that may need it.  

All parks are different. Some may require permits or certificate of insurances. Please be sure to get all the information you need from these parks before you create your reservation to ensure to issues arrive on the day of the event. You are responsible for complying with the park rules and regulations.  

 A government issued ID is required from you before we can begin setting up.

Under no circumstances should water be used with any inflatable that is not designed for such use. However, there are inflatables designed for use with water. We will be glad to let you know what water units are available for you to rent for your event.  You must provide a standard water hose.

All of our units are made from 100% lead free vinyl. Safety is not an option, it’s a REQUIREMENT, and the safety of your children is our #1 priority.

Our inflatables come in different in sizes, so be sure to check the item description next to the product you are interested in reserving before making a final decision. There you will find sizes and space requirements.   

Yes, they are.  Our units vary in weight from 200-800 lbs and are brought in by a wheeled dolly.  Typically we can overcome 1-3 stairs, but the units are too heavy and bulky to carry up (or down) stairs.  The same applies to steep hills.  While our staff is strong, we must avoid injuries.  Installation must be on level surface.
