You can pay by check, cash, or credit card. We accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. When you make your reservation, we'll ask you how you'd like to pay and take care of the details at that time. We do require a deposit at booking.
 
 
 
Our standard rental rate covers up to four hours of use. You can arrange to use the equipment longer for an additional fee. We don't charge less for less than four hours because of our delivery and setup costs.

We will normally set your equipment up at least an hour before the starting time of your event. Early setup or late takedown as a result of our delivery schedule does not count towards your hours of use.

We don't post our pricing. Because we are a seasonal business, prices reflect seasonal demand. We also offer discounts and special deals on multiple items and are very competitive. However, you can find vendors who are cheaper than us.
 
When you find lower rates, expect lower service, the requirement that you setup and takedown the equipment, operating outside the law, and worn out, dirty equipment.
 
We are a leader in the industry and pride ourselves on timely deliveries, being professional and friendly, clean, high-quality equipment, guaranteed smiles, and safety.
 

Yes! We deliver the equipment, set it up safely, and come back to take it down at the end of your event. We will cover the safety rules and equipment guidelines with you and make sure everything is in good working order before your event starts. Within the Greater Seattle/Eastside area, the cost of delivery is included in your rental. Set up normally takes about 30 minutes per piece of large equipment. We provide service throughout Washington and into Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.

Our food machines, carnival games, prizes, and other non-inflatables can be picked up from us at our Redmond, WA warehouse. However, we always deliver and setup inflatable equipment. Professional setup by trained staff is the first step to ensuring the safety of your event. There are other vendors who allow customers to pick up and setup inflatables. We do not believe that to be in the interest of safety.

Normally each inflatable runs off a regular 110v outlet on a 20 AMP circuit – this is usually what you would consider a “normal plug” in most homes and businesses. If you are renting large equipment or multiple inflatables, we are happy to discuss the power needs with you ahead of time.
 
We rent generators for an additional charge for events in parks or at locations without sufficient power. Each inflatable must be within 60 feet of the power source (outlet or generator). The power needs of our non-inflatable equipment varies – we'll go over it with you when you make a reservation.
 

Inflatables can be placed on grass, pavement, hardwood or low carpeting - indoors or out. We prefer to set up on grass because it is safest for the users.

Most of our sports games should go indoors on a hard surface. Our carnival games and food concession equipment should go indoors; some require tables and others can go on the floor. We can discuss special arrangements for outside placement of games on sunny days.
 
 
Yes, to ensure a good selection during our peak season April-October, we suggest you call us two weeks ahead of time for a bouncer and as much as three months ahead of time if you are planning a large event such as a school or church carnival, company picnic, or community event. The earlier you book, the greater your selection. However, we are happy to help with last-minute plans.

We will work with you to ensure that you can get equipment that meets your needs. Give us a call and ask what's available! We sell out on many summer weekends. We are able to be much more flexible on weekdays and in the off-season, November through March.
 

Yes. We require a 50% deposit to secure your reservation. We hold ourselves to high standards of customer service and this allows us to commit the equipment to you, and ensure that it's delivered and set up properly. If you need to cancel your event, we will work you with to reschedule it and apply the deposit towards the rescheduled event.

The amount of room required varies with each piece of equipment. As a rule of thumb, you should add 5' to the width and 10' to the length of any inflatable (the width and length are the measurements shown with the pictures on the Rentals and Entertainment pages). We are happy to discuss space requirements when you make a reservation.
 
 
For the safety of the participants, each piece of our equipment requires at least one adult supervisor at all times. Some or our larger pieces, such as slides and obstacle courses, require at least two adult supervisors. We cannot over-emphasize the need for adult supervision at all times.

We try to help you reserve equipment that meets the needs of your event. We operate rain or shine and do have rain and shower covers for many bouncers.

Back to list of questions

We have simplified our cancellation policy. If you cancel an event, any amounts paid will be credited towards a future event. There are no administrative fees!
 

Our inflatables are inspected annually by an independent inspector authorized by the State of Washington. We work hard to keep our equipment in good repair and will clearly explain the operating rules to you when we set up the equipment. As with any vigorous activity, adult supervision and following the safety guidelines is essential to ensure the safety of all participants. Inflatables carry about same risk of injury as playground equipment.
