Renting An Inflatable Obstacle Course For Your Next Party

By Rebecca Collins


You have a party or a specific holiday or celebration on the horizon and are looking for interesting activities that will appeal to both adults and children. You have thought of all the usual activities such as magicians, musicians, caricature artists, and photo booths but are seeking something that will provide some physical activity. An inflatable obstacle course that that will provide hours of fun and movement may be just the perfect addition to your event.

This rental is the perfect addition to family gatherings, birthday parties, family reunions, employee parties and even for charity fundraisers. You can arrange for ticket sellers to sell tickets for each run through the course and for other activities and foods as well. Get the entire office staff and/or the entire family involved with this project!

Remember though, you will need to have the perfect area and plenty of space to place this activity. A large, level area is needed. Be sure to ask for the dimensions of the set-up structure before renting. A large indoor area will also work. It is a plus if this area is carpeted as it will be so much safer.

The best part of renting this type of activity is that you can easily turn it into a competitive game. Purchase or borrow a few stopwatches so you can time the individuals who are making their way through this maze. Designate specific individuals to be timekeepers. If you want to be even more diligent, make vests with numbers on them for the contestants to wear so that they can be tracked more easily. Depending on the number of participants, arrange for several heats and then have the winners of the heats compete against each other at the end.

You can get really creative with the prizes for this game. Order medallions or small trophies ahead of time and make a great show of announcing the winners for first, second, and third places. Small participants would enjoy cash, candy and toy prizes.

Make sure small children who use this structure are very well tended. The last thing you want is for someone to get hurt. Make everyone else aware of youngsters underfoot to help keep them safe. If you have a huge group at your gathering, it may be in your best interest to hire a few caregivers for the younger ones and maybe even rent a simple but separate moon bounce for their private and safe entertainment.

If this activity is a great success, others you may wish to consider could include a clown, ventriloquist, dunking booth, miniature merry-go-round, pony rides, a petting zoo, or even a miniature train. There are so many options to provide entertainment for your guests, both young and old.

Try using a carnival theme and organize your helper to arrange all of the activities in a logical manner. Be sure to add food, skill challenges, and plenty of music for everyone's listening pleasure. Post maps and hand out chart to show where all of the events are located for easy acess. This is a wonderful manner in which to celebrate a company, a birthday, or holidays or to raise money for a favorite charity or a recent disaster.
