Dunk Tanks are a Crowd Favorite!

Go to any fair, carnival or water park and there’s sure to be a long line of people waiting for their chance to dunk the target in a dunk tank. They’re fun when participants don’t know the person being dunked, but it adds an elevated level of amusement and pleasure when the person in the dunk tank is someone they know.

That’s especially true no matter what age group is playing. It’s just one of the reasons that the rental of portable dunk tanks is one of the most popular activities for any type of outdoor event. It’s classic entertainment that has withstood the test of time and is always a guaranteed crowd pleaser for creating magic at events ranging from home parties to fundraisers.

Individuals can rent a portable dunk tank for home parties, along with school and business events. However, the use of a dunk tank is especially popular as a fundraising activity. The tanks require little room to set up, hold 500 gallons of water, and are particularly popular with non-profit organizations as they tend to be quite profitable.

One of the advantages of a dunk tank is that it’s a family-friendly game that people of all ages can play. The average person can’t resist showing off their throwing skills as they strive to hit the bullseye that results in someone getting a dunking. A portable dunk tank is fun and will have people coming back time after time to try their luck.

Anyone can rent inflatables to recreate all the fun of a carnival and amusements are available for all age groups.

Unique Activities

The Bungee Trampoline combines the fun of a trampoline with the sensations of bungee jumping. It can accommodate up to five people at one time for high-flying thrills. Another popular activity involves mechanical bulls, that have moved out of drinking establishments and into the realm of carnival games. You can also rent a rock-climbing wall or corn maze.

There’s also a trackless train, foam/snow cannons, bubble machines, and photo booths so guests can create a souvenir of the special day.

Keeping Kids Safe in a Bounce House

From coast to coast, bounce houses have become a must-have item for any children’s party, fundraiser, street carnival, school festival, and business-sponsored event where kids will be present. They’re a fun amusement and taking appropriate precautions will ensure a safe time for everyone.

The most important element for bounce house safety is adult supervision. A bounce house should never be left unattended, even for a moment. It’s essential to limit the number of children that are using the bounce house at the same time, that children are all comparable in size, and that they’re using the bounce house appropriately.

Children should never enter an inflatable with shoes on. Keep all food and drink outside the bounce house and make sure youngsters don’t have any sharp object on them such as pens, pencils, keys and other items. When clients rent a bounce house from South Florida Bonce, an attendant can be provided at minimal cost to ensure safety.

Wind is the enemy of any inflatable structure, making it imperative that bounce houses are securely anchored. They should always be anchored to the ground. Bounce houses should never be erected where they’ll physically touch other objects.

The experts at South Florida Bounce provide experienced setup for bounce house rentals and all the required equipment. Clients simply need to provide an appropriately sized space clear of litter, debris and other hazards. Many individuals and companies purchase a bounce house for repeated usage. For those that do, it’s essential that all included instructions be followed to the letter to ensure safety.

A bounce house can provide children with hours of fun and healthy playtime. The critical element for ensuring safety is adult supervision. If there’s any doubt that an adult will be available at all times, hire an attendant.

The Best Mermaid Birthday Party

Event Bloggers Who Love to Throw a Party in South Florida

Event planning has become a huge business. That couldn’t be a more accurate statement when you live in a place such as South Florida. Since the weather is almost always ideal for outdoor planning, there’s parties, bah mitzvahs and a variety of other celebrations where event planning is practically necessary. It seems nearly every weekend; this demographic is booked with making the party a gigantic hit. In this blog, we quote a few of the event bloggers who give you some valuable insight on how they threw some of the best birthday parties around town.

Event Blogger April Tan hosts a blog called “Catch My Party” where she gives a plethora of tips on throwing child themed birthdays. Here’s what she had to say about coming up with the concepts, “With mermaids, it’s all about the decorating. I created a visually stimulating fantasy world using pastel colors such as lavender, turquoise, sea foam green, and pink. I also used the color white as my base to keep the aesthetics feeling light and airy. Accents with pearls, starfish, and fish kept the theme from under-going. The kids just loved it when they walked into the backyard and seen lots of pretty decorations”.

Next event blogger, Lenzo is more of a one-stop shop for party planning that includes blogs from ghostwriters. Nonetheless, their mission is always to know what the trends are connecting with outside suppliers who want to sell goods. One of the bloggers caught up with us to talk about Glamping Parties for any Diva Troop. “The theme was inspired by the movie “Troop Beverly Hills,” and we focused on keeping the color palette in line with green, different shades of pink and white. This sparked quite a host of fun with the many hues of pink we found. Besides these smashing splashes of color, one very popular kid party favor is the tent. Girls love homemade shelters as much as boys, and they can be easily made. Tents are all the hype and what’s popular at most of the events we see currently.

The last blogger we connected with was from Southern Blue Celebrations. The charming writers who create content on this blog have a million grand ideas for you to try. But, we did speak to one of the phantom writers who told us the “Alice in Wonderland” novelty is what everyone is raving about for 2018. “Last year it was Minions, this year it’s Alice. The girls loved the finger sandwiches and tea party lunch along with the mobile we handcrafted pointing the confusing directions. Nonetheless, our girls wanted to have an outdoor party, so we hung decorations from the tree and set up the table to look like a scene from the movie. Also, we asked the parents to dress the girls like Alice or one of the characters which made the photos super cute and timeless”.

These event bloggers all have the right idea which is to make a point of being innovative but sticking with the trends to keep the children at ease. We hope these were some helpful tips for you as well for your daughter’s next birthday party. Best of luck!

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.
