Inflatable Obstacle Course Fun

Obstacle courses are, as the name suggests, charted courses which have physical obstacles that the participants are supposed to work their way through. Traditionally, obstacle courses were set up permanently in parks and other open spaces for the public’s enjoyment. Now, you can order an inflatable course for a period of time and have it delivered to your home or any open space that you have available to you.

The popularity of obstacle courses was due to the fact that they were a fun activity that had health benefits. These same factors also work when you choose to rent an inflatable obstacle course. Here are some of the benefits that you, your family, and other partygoers will get to enjoy with an inflatable obstacle course.

  1. Increase in physical fitness levels

One of the (partially warranted) criticisms that face modern society is that fewer people are engaging in physically exerting outdoors activities. With the rapid developments in entertainment technology, it is getting harder to lure adults and children from their gaming consoles, streamable high definition shows and fast broadband internet. The inflatable obstacle course is the perfect activity that incorporates both fun and physical exercise.

After a few hours out on an obstacle course, you will increase your fitness levels, burn off excess calories, increase your cardiovascular health and get the opportunity to revel in the fresh outdoor air. It also gives you a break from the monotony of the gym as the only place where you get to exercise.

  1. You can rent inflatable obstacle courses in different sizes

There are many models to choose from when renting inflatable obstacle courses, depending on the space you are working with, and the group that you are planning to entertain. If you are hiring a course for smaller kids, then you need one that is not extremely physically challenging. Likewise, if you are shopping for a bunch of fitness buffs, then you can go for a more challenging obstacle course. The key is to understand the participants who will be enjoying your obstacle course.

  1. It promotes the spirit of teamwork and collaboration

There is a reason why obstacle courses are ubiquitous in corporate team building centers; they help foster a spirit of togetherness and teamwork among the participants. There is a natural sense of camaraderie that comes from overcoming challenges together as a group. This is why inflatable obstacle courses should be an important part of any party involving children.

  1. It engages your resilience and problem-solving skills

This is another reason for ensuring that your next kids’ party has an inflatable obstacle course. Obstacle courses do not just engage your child physically; they engage them mentally as they try to find ways of ‘defeating’ the obstacles in their path. It also promotes resilience and perseverance in your child, all of which are important traits to have later in life.

Play is how children learn to interact with each other and acquire important social skills. Incorporating the obstacle course into their play-world will go a long way towards helping you raise a helpful member of society.

Why You Should Book An Inflatable

One of the requirements that come to mind when you think of hosting a party over the weekend or even during the holidays is how to keep your guests entertained. Well, there is no better way to spice up the atmosphere than renting an inflatable especially if the guests will be bringing kids along. Inflatables are guaranteed to let party-goers of all ages have a blast – making your party one to remember.

If you’re not sure whether you need one, here are some reasons why you should book an inflatable for your event.

  1. They’re easy to set up

With so much time going into other aspects of planning for your guests, such as décor, cooking or even last minute cleaning, the last thing you want to worry about is setting up activities and games for your guests. This is where inflatables come in because they are easy to set up and take down. In fact, they require little preparation when it comes to setting them up. All you need to get started is adequate space and a place where you can plug the blower. What’s more? Inflatables do not leave a mess when you take them down. They are also easy to transport.

  1. They offer hours of entertainment

If you’re worried about keeping your guests entertained throughout, think inflatables. These structures offer hours of endless entertainment to children of all ages. This way, the adults don’t have to worry keeping the children busy, and at the same time keeping up with the party.

  1. They keep the kids in one general place

Inflatables are generally safe for children because they are made from some of the finest materials in the market. Furthermore, most of the companies that are in the inflatable rental business will often ensure that every unit is cleaned and inspected for safety before renting it out. Inflatables are also designed in a way that lets you watch as the children play.  This way you’re able to keep an eye on them all through. Inflatables should ALWAYS be monitored by a responsible adult to help keep children safe.

  1. They’re economical

When it comes to the cost, renting an inflatable is much cheaper compared to other activities or forms of entertainment. Generally, the rental fee will be determined by the size and type of unit you’re renting. Other charges may include the accessories that come with it and an attendant that will be on standby to watch over the children as they play. Ultimately, most inflatables rental cater to just about all budget types.

  1. They offer themed fun and can be branded

This is perhaps an added advantage of renting inflatables. They come in different themes and styles so you can choose depending on the theme of your event. Whether you’re hosting a sports fundraiser or a princess-themed party, you can be sure to find an inflatable that blends into your celebration. You can even include an inflatable water slide if you’re thinking of aquatic celebrations.

Whether you want to promote friendly competition among your guests or you simply want to keep them entertained, inflatables offer you the versatility you need to get them out of their comfort zone.

Blog, Bounce House Rental, Event Planning

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.

Who Says Bounce Houses are For Kids?

South Florida Bounce Has Something for Everyone

If you’ve got elected to be on the planning committee for your next corporate party, then you’ll want to pay close attention to this topic. While many parents assume that bounce houses and obstacle courses are for kids, they are also a welcome attraction for adults too. On the contrary, we often see parents sneaking in on the fun when these entertaining items are for a birthday or any celebration. In this blog, we give you a few hints on why inflatables aren’t just for kids to help you get inspired.

First, let’s discuss water slides as they are always a favorite item among both adults and children in South Florida. Since we live in a region that has excellent weather, it’s always a hot ticket to rent one of our many waterslides. Grownups can be seen wearing their favorite swim trunks and suits and slithering down the waterslide for a chance to be amused. Just because you think these attractions are meant for minors doesn’t mean everyone does. We always see parents with their children and a big smile on both faces.

Next, obstacle courses are a load of a grand and gratifying way to spend time during a work picnic or outing. These modern inflatables are perfect for team building and bringing new friends together while competing with one another. Just picture the CEO and the head of HR battling it out with our K2 Cliffhanger. Maybe a contest between team blue and team red battle to the death with Wipeout where they must climb on top of balls and other parts or get knocked over and lose. Many of our available stock can be inflated indoors or in a parking lot for your convenience.

Besides, the pitfalls of joy with an obstacle course, a good old-fashioned bounce house is never boring for big people. Also, you burn a ton of calories while jumping up and down. Where else can you wrestle with your best friend or next-door neighbor in a safe environment? A bounce house is a perfect solution to shake up any party, and it doesn’t matter what your age.

From photo booths to dunk tanks, we’ve got it all for your next party planning schemes. Just remember we serve people of all ages, and there’s something for everyone at South Florida Bounce.

Bounce House and Safety

South Florida is an excellent place to live. That statement is especially true if you are a kid. With ideal weather and a ton of attractions geared for children, this place is a tropical paradise for both kids and parents. However, when it comes to renting a bounce house, there are some concrete safety tips you should know, whether you’ll be renting  an inflatable for an event or, just as a treat for the whole family. Read this info to be well informed when it comes to safety and bounce houses.

First, be sure to hire a reputable company with a good track record. Since there’s very little to no regulation with these rentals, it’s important to find an organization that is going to look out for the safety of your family and friends.

Next, after the technicians install the bounce house, ask to do a full walk around the unit with them to ensure they’ve successfully anchored the bounce house to the ground. High gusts of wind are common in South Florida, so it’s imperative the installation and setup are secure and safe. Besides, the anchoring, have the rep point out there’s been extra precaution taken when it comes to water and electricity. In most cases, the designs are meant to be used around both and are constructed to prevent hazards. However, it’s good to do the walk around regardless. If anything looks suspicious ask about the item in question.

Besides the security of the structure, be sure to ask what the process is for cleaning their rentals. Do they do a wipe down or a full deep cleaning? As we all know, everyone with children is bound to have germs and a multitude of other health risks. However, most of the reputable companies take extra measure to be sure everyone’s not in jeopardy.

One more issue to point out here is that safety is both the responsibility of the bounce house attendant as well as the parents. Many times, kids are left un attended causing more severe issues. While bounce houses are designed for children to be free of danger, there’s still an activity that could cause a less than desirable outcome. In fact, just about every child entering a bounce house for the first time gets excited, and larger kids aren’t always watching the smaller ones. That being the case, kids can get hurt even during innocent play. Be sure as a parent you take the responsibility always to use your best judgment.

For the most part, bounce houses are safe and fun. A little extra work on both the part of the parent and the rental company just makes good sense.

South Florida Bounce Has You Hopping in April

From the jelly beans to the colored eggs, Easter Sunday has always been a favorite celebration for both families and friends in the South Florida area. The weather is still perfect for outdoor activities such as egg hunts and picnic style parties. This is also the time of year when people are planning their summer and fall parties. In this week’s blog, we help you think of ways to keep the month of April hopping to get your through your party celebrations without messing up one ‘hare!’

First, be sure to decorate with lots of love and pastels. Stop by a place like Michael’s crafts or drop into Pinterest to get fantastic decoration ideas for your home or office. If you get a head start on things like hanging up wreaths and floral arrangements, you’ll have more time to enjoy the décor.

Remember those who are alone or elderly. This holiday doesn’t have to be spent only thinking about chocolate bunnies and peeps. The real PEEPs are the ones who need you most. Stop in and visit one of your neighbors by bringing them a special treat or a cute little gift and watch how much your heart is warmed. Let this time be peaceful and joyous as a little lamb by doing good things for others.

Next, plan the perfect family meal. While ham and scallop potatoes are a tradition in some households, your party doesn’t have to include those items. Get creative. Don’t forget the holiday champagne. Passover or Pesach Seder is shared by lovely bowls of Matzah Ball Soup and who can’t resist braised brisket? No matter what you serve for your family’s dinner you’ll savor it more with every bite since you’re loved ones are there to share with you.

Lastly, be sure to keep the festivities going with lots of activity. Find fun games other than your egg hunts and pictures with the Easter Bunny. Games such as bunny bowling and making Easter slime can be just fun for your little ones.

If you’re planning on throwing a large party at one of the local parks, be sure to give us a call. We’ve got an extensive variety of attractions to make your outdoor event one your family and friends will always remember.

Retirement Party? Don’t forget the Kids!

It seems that many of us today are constantly on the go. When it comes to planning a party or an event, it makes perfect sense to work smart and not hard. Whether you’re organizing your child’s graduation party or a retirement party for your elderly father, it’s important to remember the kids. Rather than sticking them in another room with their video games, why not open the party for participation amongst all ages? In this week’s blog, we’ve got a few tricks to show you how.

Children tend to get bored easily, and in most cases, parents won’t even want to bring them to an adult themed party. However, today’s society has changed, and it’s more common now to invite the whole family rather than just colleagues and co-workers to such a milestone event. The biggest dilemma and one that is often overlooked is what to do for entertainment? One of our first solutions is, of course, to introduce you to the idea of having a bounce house on site. Whether it’s set up in a front yard or at a park, this is the main attraction amongst both kids and adults.

Next would be a waterslide. Since you live in a place like South Florida, it only makes sense to cool everyone off in the hot tropical weather with a splash of fun. While the children are out having, fun playing in the water, the adults can focus on telling stories about the guest of honor’s accomplishments. Think about it. This is the perfect solution to eliminating whining kids during grandfather’s speech.

Lastly, we’d like to mention; our obstacle courses are an excellent way for adults to participate and compete. As a corporate event planner, you can incorporate some team building skills along with saying goodbye to the employee. Using our many features at your next grown-up party will not only show you’re organized and can handle some pretty unusual tasks, but it will also make you a company hero!

Whether you’re looking to facilitate a phenomenal adult party or one where kids are involved, we have a multitude of solutions to make the day enjoyable for everyone. Contact our staff who specialize in celebrating to make your next party or even a smashing one!

Don’t forget to ask us about table and chair rentals too!

Teaching Kids to Be Competitive in a Healthy Way

One single aspect of being a parent is to raise our children to become successful in life. We should teach them things like how to be competitive. However, learning to compete in a healthy way is far more fun and a lesson they’ll carry for the rest of their lives. Here are a few tips you can take from the parents at South Florida Bounce to teach them how to be competitive without becoming a bully.

Give your child recognition for their strengths. Most of what our children learn come from their home environments. Boys and girls of all ages are always seeking approval from their parents. It’s not a difficult thing to do telling them when they have done something well. Rather than focusing on your kid’s weaknesses, concentrate on their strengths. Focusing on your son or daughter’s strengths helps to build their self-esteem, and they won’t have a desire to belittle other children.

Next, find sports and activities they are good at and then motivate them to stick with it. When you find an activity like soccer or dancing and your child has natural talent, drive them to build on that skill and watch them flourish. Don’t make your child stay with something if he or she is unhappy. Forcing a kid to do something will only discourage them, and they might take it out on someone else.

Competing with others is an important lesson to learn. Kids need to learn how to stand up for themselves. They need to hone in on how to take an idea and complete all the tasks to make them believe in what they can do. Teach your kids to work through their challenges and problem solve their way to a more desirable result.

Involve your children in group activities. Parties, little league, ballet, etc., are all activities where your kids can gain new skills and learn to share winning and losing. These types of life events can enhance your children to understand equality of one another, and that’s something we could use today.

Failing is a part of the process. You probably will be uncomfortable with this more than little Bobby or Jenny. However, if you get them to comprehend failing teaches us all how to improve and become better at something, they may look at life differently.

Of course, we don’t have all the answers, but with these important tips, you can help you son or daughter compete in a healthy way learning about…well, life!
