Inflatable waterslides are one of the most popular summer entertainments in South Florida. If you have a special event planned for the summer, now is the time to schedule a reservation on the waterslide of your choice. The inflatables are often booked months in advance. Waiting until the last minute can mean disappointment and no amusement for guests to enjoy.Weather ConcernsThe South Florida weather can be unpredictable, with storms developing at any time. It’s impossible to predict what the weather will be on any given day. Many people make the mistake of waiting to see what the weather will be like on their special day. Don’t hesitate to book early. You won’t be able to use the inflatable if it’s storming, but it’s better to have the option than come up empty handed. At least you’ll have access to the inflatable if the weather permits.Multiple EventsWhile the inflatables are popular for events such as family reunions, birthdays, and graduation parties, they’re also highly popular for business promotions and grand openings, along with church and charitable events.Waterslides for AllThere are waterslides to accommodate any age group. Parties hosting tweens, teens and adults can add an interesting twist. Inflatable waterslides can be set up as an independent activity and some can be configured to deposit guests directly into your pool for a water park feel.Water and Power AccessA waterslide requires access to a power source and water to keep it wet and/or fill a landing pool. Both requirements are something many people don’t think about. An ordinary home water connection, 50 to 100 ft. of water hose, and an electrical outlet are all that’s needed to provide power and water for safe sliding. Be aware that any water restrictions during the hottest part of summer will be a factor in your water slide rental plans.

bounce house theme matches a child’s interests. Inflatable bounce houses for rent encompass
an extensive range of themes from which to choose. Individuals can select from themes ranging
from pirates and princesses to Sponge Bob and everything in between.
Sports
It doesn’t matter what sport a child is interested in, there’s a bounce house to accommodate
any desire. Bounce houses are available with a basketball, soccer, football, baseball, auto
racing, and monster truck theme.
Fun Fantasy
Bounce houses with popular animated, storybook and fairy tale characters are an ideal solution

with a carnival theme, gingerbread, Sesame Street, Micky, Lego Land, Baby Shark, and
dinosaurs. The Candy Land and Zoo Island bounce houses feature a mini slide and other

The short answer is that bounce houses are appropriate for ages 6 to 12 for safe and supervised
playtime. No child under the age of 6 should be allowed to play in a bounce house unsupervised. They don’t
have the coordination or motor skills to remain upright or right themselves when they fall.
Bounce houses transfer motion easily and that can knock small children off their feet.
Supervision
There are some important factors to consider for anyone thinking of purchasing a consumer
bounce house or renting an inflatable for a child’s party. The amusements aren’t something
that can be set up and left alone while children play. A responsible adult will need to be in
attendance to supervise anytime a child is using the inflatable. The potential for an injury
always exists.
Set Up
Equally important is the location where the entertainment will be located. The place where the
bounce house sets will need to be away from utility lines, fences and structures to prevent
injuries to children. To ensure the integrity of the bounce house is maintained, the location
must be free of rocks, sticks, sprinkler heads, fences, structures, and overhanging branches.
Never use a bounce house outdoors in storms or winds strong enough to blow dust and dirt
around.
Affordable Entertainment
A bounce house provides affordable entertainment for children ages 6 to 12 that won’t break
the bank. They’re a great way for youngsters to play and get beneficial exercise for strong
bones and muscles.

There are many of the same concerns and details connected with an event whether it’s held indoors or outside. However, there are some major differences of which every host needs to be aware. The primary concern will be the comfort of guests, enabling them to enjoy themselves.
Budgetary Concerns
There’s a myriad of outdoor options that are free to use and they may even contain grills for a BBQ and playground equipment to entertain children. Be sure there’s ample shade, a canopy or tent for a respite from the heat and humidity. For those that will be renting a hall or other building for indoor festivities, it’s essential that hosts know exactly how much they have to spend. Indoor venues can be expensive.
Capacity Limits
Know how many will be in attendance and make sure the venue is up to the task in terms of space and seating ability. Keep in mind that there are often guests that won’t RSVP, but will show up anyway. Never rent a space sight unseen. Take the time to actually view the venue for space, functionality, cleanliness, and sufficient bathroom facilities. Amenities can be more of a problem at a free outdoor venue so choose carefully.
Entertainment
Older individuals may be content to sit and talk, while younger attendees won’t be so easily pleased. An outdoor venue allows for a greater range of potential activities, but bear in mind that permits may be required. An indoor event is limited in the array of amusements that can take place.
Weather
There’s no controlling the weather and outdoor events are at the whims of Mother Nature. Rain, wind and lightning will have guests scrambling for their cars since the majority of outdoor events won’t provide any type of shelter unless the host rents tents or canopies. An indoor event eliminates those problems and will be air-conditioned.

Small gatherings deserve the same amount of care and a fun factor equal to major events and you can achieve that goal in a variety of ways. There’s a myriad of methods to liven up a small gathering that’s as much fun for adults as children. The following are some suggestions in no particular order.
Costume Party
You don’t have to wait until Halloween to hold a costume party. The best part is that you can choose from dozens of themes ranging from spooky to historical. The Wild West, pirates, zombies, and themes derived from TV shows and films are especially popular.
Escape Room
These are great for groups of 10 or less. A word of warning – while they’re great fun, some are not appropriate for children under a certain age or those that are impressionable. Different themes are offered and each adventure typically lasts for an hour as you put together clues and solve puzzles to escape.
Inflatables
There are rentable inflatables to accommodate any space requirement. The range of inflatables encompasses water slides, bounce houses, and full-size board/lawn games, along with inflatable options for carnival fun.
International Potluck
If you don’t feel like fighting the crowds for a dinner out, have guests each bring a dish from a different country. It doesn’t matter whether they make it themselves or bring pre-made restaurant food – bonding over food is a worldwide custom.
Mechanical Rides/Games
If you’ve ever had a yearning to try your hand at bull riding, you can rent one of the popular rides for your gathering. Bungee trampolines, rock climbing walls, interactive experiences, and robo surfers are other options that can be rented.
Movie Night
It’s easy to hold a Hollywood premiere night in your backyard. You’ll need a projector and if you don’t want to spare the money for a screen, a large white sheet makes a serviceable alternative. The same idea can be repurposed for a football party and there are food machines that can be rented for the event that includes popcorn, hotdogs, and sno-cones/shaved ice.
