VR Fun For The Whole Family

Until a few years ago, many people did not understand what virtual reality (VR) is about. To many people, VR still is a fantasy issue among technologists and storytellers. Other people still consider virtual reality a thing for kids. However, with the advancement of technology, it is now possible to have VR fun for the whole family. There is more fun and enjoyment to anything once it is shared with loved ones, family, and friends. The same principle is applicable to experience and games that could create fond memories and the best way to do this is by participating as a family. So why don’t you gather your family members for VR fun? If you are not sure how to go about it, here are some useful tips.

  1. Invite your family to share the VR fun

One of the first things that you need to adopt to extract the full potential of the virtual reality headset is to have family members share in the joy and fun. Virtual reality gives many opportunities and experiences to everyone. For instance, your family members will love scenic views, sports, or even video games. With everyone having an aspect or two to enjoy from the VR, it will definitely be a great family day.

  1. Bring out a variety of VR headsets

It is not unlikely that some of the family members do not know how to use the VR headsets. As such, ensure that you show them how to use the headset for maximum fun. Lack of proper fitting of the headset can break the fun, which is not something that you want especially in the midst of your family members. South Florida Bounce.

  1. Make sure the VR headset is clean

Keeping the virtual reality headset clean and sanitized is important more so during the cold holiday season. However, cleaning the headset is not a heavy task since it requires simple tools including microfiber cloth and air compressor. The compressor is necessary for deep cleaning, which is recommendable on a weekly basis. Once you have cleaned the unit, use a microfiber cloth to keep the lenses dry.

  1. Have enough games

It can be a daunting task to settle for a game that is fun for everyone. However, most headsets have different types of games. It is advisable to download a couple of them to cater to the tastes and preferences of each of your family members. Make sure that you seek the opinion and preferences of everybody lest you leave some out of the fun.

  1. Personalize the VR space

Most VR headsets come with an option of customizing as well as decorating how things appear once you view them from the headset. Try different aspects of the VR space to make sure that you create the best experience for the whole family. Nevertheless, it is important to note the not all headsets are customizable.

Best Waterproof Cameras

Gone are the days when a camera’s quality was determined by the lens quality or number of megapixels alone. With the onset of social media and the need to keep up with trends, cameras are now being manufactured with a newer, more competitive feature; being waterproof. Waterproof cameras have taken the limits off sharing on social media and having fun. So if you are an avid water sports fan, or are looking for a fun weekend in the surf and sand, these are our four top picks for the best waterproof cameras you might want to try.

  1. Olympus Tough TG-5

Most social bloggers seem to agree that this is a contender for the top spot in underwater cameras. It has an ergonomic design that is chunky with well-designed controls that are great for any weather. It is waterproof up to a depth of 15 m or 50 feet. It is also shockproof from heights of 2.1m or 7 feet, while it is freeze-proof till lows of -10 degrees C or 14 degrees Fahrenheit. While the manufacturer oddly decided to drop the pixel count, the resolution drops a bit to 4k for video, but this delivers better noise performance. The camera is made up of a temperature sensor, GPS sensor, pressure, and compass. The data that is gathered on the camera can be displayed using the Olympus Image Track app as videos or images.

  1. Nikon Coolpix W300

This camera works well up to depths of 30m or 100 feet, which is the maximum depth that an Advanced Water Diving certificate will allow you. It is also shock-proof from a maximum height of 2.4m or 8 feet, and freezeproof down to the lows of -10 degrees Celsius or 14 degrees Fahrenheit. It comes fully-loaded with a GPS system, Wi-Fi connectivity, 4K video and a world map that is interactive. It also has an underwater depth gauge plus an altimeter. This camera also offers high resolution and a 921k Dot OLED monitor.

  1. GoPro HERO6 Black

This compact camera has great resolution with 12MP and is waterproof up to a depth of 10 m or 33 feet without housing. Being a relatively new entrant in this market, it has not been rated as shock-proof or freeze-proof yet. The GoPro HERO6 makes use of the GoPro QuikStories Feature to cut and share short clips quickly together.

  1. Rico WG-50

This underwater camera is a compact and nifty buy. It has features that include full HD video resolution and 16 MP camera resolution. It is also crush-proof up to a hefty 220 lbs, and can withstand water depths of up to 14 m or 45 feet. It remains freeze-proof down to the lows of -10 degrees Celsius or 14 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion

These 4 underwater cameras are our top picks. There are many other nifty and compact cameras in the market that match up to these. But with these, you are covered on your surf and sand adventures this summer.

A Waterslide Is A Great Addition To Your Party

A Waterslide Is A Great Addition To Your Party

Hooray! The long cold winter months are finally behind you. What else is on your mind right now rather than how best to enjoy the outdoors? Spring is an appropriate time to host a party. You can no longer resist the urge to organize that baby shower, bridal shower, graduation party, backyard barbecue or poolside party you have been postponing. Some of the ideas you can exploit include having cake, food, skewered meat, some music, interactive games, and a few drinks. The goal is to have everyone enjoy and get into the party mood.

Have you ever thought of having a waterslide at your party? Here are ways it can stoke the fun and keep everyone from going home early.

Drop a hint during invitations

Waterslides are not the preserve of kids alone. Adults too can have a great time. While sending invites, inform your guests that there will be a poolside surprise. Remind them to bring necessities such as sunscreen, bathing suit, towel, flip-flops, and sunglasses. Let the visitors come to your place with anticipation. Do not disclose what lies in store yet.

Rent a waterslide

Surprise your guests with a flashy water slide. Excellent choices include ‘The Hulk,’ ‘MudSlide,’ ‘The Twister with Curve,’ or the ‘Tsunami’. The Twister is a 40ft tall waterslide featuring two slides to make sure that your guests (both kids and adults) do not have to wait too long for their turn. It also features a curve at the end terminating in a landing pool. Guests at your party will remember the thrill of sliding from a height of 40 feet for many months to come. Alternatively, go for “The Hulk” variety that also comprises of dual slides with the fun beginning at 36 feet.

Get a Bounce House if you don’t have water

In case you find it hard to get enough water for a slide, try bounce houses. There are different varieties to choose from. Colorful themes available include candy, sports, disco and Zoo Island. All it takes is to have the bounce house inflated after which your home is ready for fun. Obstacle courses are a fun addition as well and are sure to tire out the most active of the bunch!  You can’t go wrong with an inflatable at your party.

Set the party

On the day of the event, have the slide rental company inflate it at the designated spot. Do this early in the morning to allow the water to get warm just in time for the action. To create a break and provide variety, have a game of, say, badminton to keep the fun rolling.

In conclusion

Waterslides add flavor to a backyard party. To keep everyone anxious, request them to carry items they would need for a swimming outing. Rent a slide from the many options available and choose one with double slots to minimize waiting time.

Kid’s Party Themes for 2018

Party Decoration Ideas for Your Child’s Birthday

Last season we caught the party decoration trends and found characters like the Minions and inside tent sleepovers to sweep Coconut Creek area like wildfire. This year there’s been a change in the décor, but it’s just as cute as last year’s party ideas for child birthdays. If you’ve been struggling with a theme, we found it here and just in time for 2018!

Idea One: Rainbows seem to be popping up everywhere in the kid party section. Rather than pastels for the girls and bold primary colors for the boys, the rainbow party is appropriate for any gender. While we found this theme to entail a plethora of different ways to display this color scheme, we can tell you it’s a fun and inviting look no matter what festival or celebration. From party streamers to balloons you can give the appearance of an exciting event even if you’re on a budget. Don’t forget to include the favorite My Little Pony for the toddler ages or Olympics for the older children. There are endless possibilities with these color schematics where just about anything goes! While just about any of our inflatables will work for this theme, we do recommend the Candy Land attraction to be an excellent fit for the youngsters!

Idea Two: Panda Bears Are Everywhere! Scour the internet, and you’ll find just about every mommy blogger writing about Panda Bear Parties. Just about every party favor you can think of includes a cute panda bear on it, and the kids seem to love the idea! If you’re looking for a little fun with some photo opportunities, try face painting the kids to look like pandas and rent our photo booth to take some super cute pics! They’ll love the use of the photobooths and so will you as you’re not snapping thousands of images with your cell phone while managing the rest of the party!

Idea Three: Unicorns seem to be a trendy topic all around these days. The mystical horse with the horn on the head that can fly has been enchanting us for years. But, for 2018 this is a craze is getting a lot of attention. For young girls, unicorns make an excellent birthday décor. There are tons of creative ideas for everything from games to prizes. For instance, ring toss using a simple cone can be loads of fun, and almost any age loves the activity. No matter what you end up with the unicorn party theme is a hot one for 2018 where you can’t go wrong.

We hope these ideas add a little spark to your party planning or in this case some sparkle. Nonetheless, we’re here if you need any assistance with your child’s special day.

Ideas for Making Parenting Easier

When it comes to things like rewarding your kids, don’t make the mistake of not satisfying yourself. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs any person will undertake, why not make it as easy as possible? We at South Florida Bounce have some tips to help you do just that with these daily habits steering you in the right direction.

Tip 1.) No Yelling. When we make the mistake of yelling at our kids, we think our message will come across more efficiently. However, by speaking methodically and quietly, you become more powerful because your child will hear your communication rather than just the sound of screaming.

Tip 2.) Be Grateful for What You Have. Since kids are extremely impressionable, it only makes sense to make a good example. Teaching kids that you’re grateful for what you do have or the little things are invaluable and a must. Don’t forget to include them in your blessings by telling them each day how much you adore them.

Tip 3.) Don’t wait until the end of the week to do the laundry. Wash a load a day. It doesn’t cost you any more than when you do it all on the weekend. Save yourself time and money by doing one per day and see how much extra time you just added to your calendar.

Tip 4.) Tackle a massive task a day. Whether that means filing your taxes or cleaning the kid’s game room, many necessary evils are lurking. By taking each day and using your time efficiently, you will be more organized and will accomplish more than you can imagine. For instance, purging toys is always a daunting task. But, by not overlooking that task and tackling it before it gets out of control, you’ll be having an easier time. By the way, it always sucks picking up toys before company shows up, is never fun nor easy. Imagine how cool it would be not to have to worry because the deed was already done? Awesome!

Tip 5.) Plan a weekly menu and stick to it! As we all know, kids can be picky eaters. But, there’s plenty of benefits to having a list even when your son or daughter wants to have a party. Besides, there’s a lot of time management when you hear the words “I don’t like that” or “Ewww gross, I’m not eating that.” Sit down with your kids and show them recipes and pictures to get a good menu down.

By doing following these excellent tips, you’ll save time, money and will make your job as a parent much more comfortable.

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.

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.

  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.

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.
