Rentals For All Ages

Sometimes, when planning for an event that involves different age groups, it can be quite a challenge identifying activities that will be fun for everyone. The best approach is to find something that appeals to a particular age of people, and then get the one activity that is acceptable and fun for all. This way, no one feels left out and everyone gets to have their own fun.

It can be a little frustrating finding all these things in one place. This is mostly because most rentals only stock activities that cater to one or two demographics at a time. At South Florida Bounce & Slide, however, we are as close as you will ever get to a one-stop shop for all your event rentals. We have rentals that cater to all ages and for a variety of activities as well. These include:

  1. Kid’s activities

We understand that activities that appeal to kids will not necessarily appeal to the other people at an event. We have different rentals that cater to kids all the way from toddlers to fourth graders. We have bounce houses and combo units that appeal to this demographic. The Candy Land Toddler bounce house is more popular with the younger children, while older kids will enjoy the Disco Dome Bounce House. The Disco Dome allows them to freely express themselves in tune with the latest music and flashing lights.

  1. Young adults

If your event is centered more towards young adults, you will definitely want to look at our ‘young adults’ catalog of rentals. We have a large variety of activities that would appeal to young adults including water slides, carnival games, obstacle courses, and other more exciting options as well. Activities such as Sumo wrestling in the Sumo Arena, competing in the Xtreme Sports Arena or trying to win something in the carnival games stand will appeal to this demographic.

  1. Adults

Adults are forgotten when planning events that incorporate different age groups. They are mostly left to fend for themselves. At South Florida Bounce, however, we have activities that cater for adult entertainment. They range from the adrenaline-paced games to laid-back options for those who do not wish to break a sweat. Whether they are flying in the bungee trampoline, climbing the 25-foot rock wall or playing a fun game of human hungry hippo, we have you covered. As if that is not enough, we have an action-packed game of total meltdown where you and 7 of your friends can test each other’s agility and reaction times.

  1. Universals

Even as everyone is having fun on their own, there are certain universal activities that everyone can enjoy. These include the Velcro wall which is loads of fun for everyone involved. Other fun all-rounders include the human foosball and the wipe-out, where you and can feel like the contestants on the TV show.

  1. Fun food machines

What is the point of having all this fun if no food is involved? We have different fun food stands including a cotton candy maker and a snow cone machine. Both come with 60 servings although you can add more. We also have popcorn makers and hotdog makers as well. For those who would like to have memories of their event preserved, we have photo booths as well.

Book your event rental and give everyone at your event a chance to have a memorable time.

Plan A ‘Wipeout Party’

Wipeouts always look so awesome on TV where you can laugh at the contestants as they plummet into the water. It, therefore, comes as a welcome surprise when people realize that it is possible to plan one in your very own backyard. The logistics of planning one, however, can be a bit daunting if you do not know where to get the things you need.

This is what you need in order to make a wipeout party come true.

  1. Craft a plan

Nothing goes well without a plan. Planning a wipeout party is no different. To start with, you need to have a theme. This will help you decide what sort of activities you want to include in the party. It will also help you decide how many people you want to invite, what location to use, duration of the party, as well as any extras you want included, e.g. carnival foods.

Having a plan makes everything proceed a lot smoother as opposed to going gung ho. It sets an itinerary, lets people have fun while remaining easier to manage. Plans also help you have a bigger and clearer outlook of things and avoid overlooking the small but essential things.

  1. A bunch of fun people

Now that you have a plan, it is time to create an invite list. When doing this, refer to your plan and see what sort of venue you have and how many people it can hold. This is the first step in whittling down your invite list.  It will help you determine whether this is a family only affair, coworkers, friends or a mix of all three. Looking at your plan to determine what sort of age group you want at your party will also tell you who you need to invite. Now that you have got your invite list sorted, time to look at what you need to bring.

  1. Activities

The third stage of planning a wipeout party is looking at what sort of activities are available for you. At South Florida Bounce for example, we have a variety of rentals that would be ideal for this type of party. These depend of the type and size of the crowd invited. For instance, you can have “The Wipeout” which is ideal for a small gathering of a few family and friends. The Hungry Hippo, Water Balloon Wars, and The Dunk Tank are also awesome alternatives. Now you have a plan, which you have followed to create an invite list and pick out activities. The next step would be what to bring.

  1. A lot of towels

The logical thing to bring to a wipeout party, especially with activities that involve water, would be a lot of towels. That is probably the first thing you will tell the people invited to bring. The next item should obviously be a change of clothes of several, depending on the person. Other things that are essential for a wipeout party would be lotion and sunscreen. As with any gathering that is having an outdoor activity, make sure there is a fully-stocked first aid kit at hand. It never hurts to be prepared.

  1. A camera

There is no need to have all that fun and not document it. Memories are very important, and they are all we are left with after we are done with an activity. Make sure that, at the very least, there are enough selfies that you can share on your social media.

Wipeout parties are great as a team building activity or just plain fun. We can install a Wipeout set on your backyard overnight. It’s that simple!

Good Old-Fashioned Carnival Food

If you have ever been to a carnival, then you know how much fun those can be. If you have not, you really need to attend one. What makes carnivals stand out is the intoxicating mix of music, fun activities, and very importantly – food. Carnival food is something to behold.

Carnival food is neither gourmet nor will it be served with a sprinkling of cilantro. However, it is one of the reasons why people go to the carnival. It is one of those happy foods that you will have a super fun time indulging in. Most carnival foods are not something you can have every day, and can, therefore, be considered a treat. They are just one of those things you do occasionally because they are fun. Some of these carnival foods include:

  1. Cotton candy

This is one of the carnival originals. Anyone who has been to a carnival will tell you that you cannot say you went to one if you did not have cotton candy. It is especially a treat for children who get to binge on sugar without being restricted. This puffy ball of spun sugar is one of the best things at a carnival.  If you want to feel like a child again, cotton candy will get you there. We know this because, at South Florida Bounce, we have cotton candy machines for parties. Our cotton candy machines are capable of 60 servings of delicious goodness.

  1. Popcorn

Although popcorn cannot be really labeled as a carnival food exclusively, it is a must-have at such events. Despite being found at the movies or the ease of making them from home, there is a special feeling about eating them in a carnival atmosphere. It could be the people, or the music, or all the other activities, atmosphere. But somehow, popcorn tastes better in carnivores.

  1. Hotdogs

We all know how awesome hotdogs are. They are those predominantly American foods that are available at any large gathering or street corner. It is virtually impossible to go to a carnival and not pass by the hotdog stand. That is akin to going to a circus and not seeing the tightrope artists. If the wafting aroma doesn’t lure you in then their sight will.

  1. Corn dogs

These sausages coated in a layer of corn batter are the typical carnival food. They are not the healthiest of meals, so you cannot have them every day. They are, however, the perfect cheat day food. And if you are at a carnivore, you are allowed to spoil yourself a little.

  1. Snow cones

You have not lived if you have never had a snow cone. These shaved-ice treats taste incredible and create an amazing cooling effect during a hot day. They come in different colors and you can even have them in a rainbow. These different colors mean that the snow cones come in different flavors as well. Be careful though, if your child has too many of these, you will have a huge sugar rush to contend with. And we all know how annoying those can be.

Planning an outdoor event this Fall or during the upcoming holiday season? South Florida Bounce & Slide is ready to pack a mean selection of carnival treats for your guests.

Large Event? No Problem

Putting together a large event can be quite the headache. The tricky part is when you are trying to figure out where the entertainment for such a large number of people will come from. And the true test of all is when your event involves children or young adults who require more engaging entertainment than adults. Worry not, however, because South Florida Bounce & Slide have got you covered.

We have been in the business of party rentals for years. And and in that time, we have acquired certain qualities that would prove useful at a large event. These include:

The people at South Florida Bounce understand that sometimes you are working to plan an event and you do not have that much space to work with. It could be anything from a kid’s birthday party to a fourth-grade class day out; we will have you sorted in no time. We have the tents and the entertainment to work around any activity you might have, at any space you deem.

  1. Reliability

We don’t like blowing our own trumpet, but we will say that we are very reliable. We plan ourselves around your event to make sure that we are there and set up on time. We like to make sure that by the time the guests get there, we have set, up and double checked the installations.

We also make sure that we have contingencies in case of those pesky unforeseen circumstances. For instance, should there be a power outage; we have generators to keep you going.

  1. Safety

We have your safety on our minds the entire time. All our tents and party equipment are checked every before and after they have been to an event. We make regular repairs to the small dents and scrapes and replace those that need replacement. Our customers’ safety is our priority.

When we come to your event, we have a stringent checklist that we follow to make sure that everything goes according to plan. The checks are done before and after setting up, then one more time just t be sure. Our staff members are also trained in basic first aid, to make sure that you and your guests are in good hands.

  1. Pocket -friendliness

You would be hard-pressed to find any other rental service that can beat our prices. For the kind of services we offer and the equipment we bring to the table, we really are your best bet. We understand that just because you are having an event, you do not have to break the bank to do so. Our price discounts are also unbeatable, with up to $100 off on certain rentals.

  1. Customer service

Our staff not only has an obligation to make sure you are served, they make sure you are served with a smile. We understand that you are the reason we are in business, and we make it our job to ensure that you are satisfied. And throughout your event, the team that is taking care of the rentals will be very helpful and will make sure that you are sorted.

From bounce houses to water slides, food, fun games and furniture, we really have everything you need for your large event. Talk to us today!
