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 addition is perfect for birthday parties, graduation gatherings, reunions, employee appreciation picnics, and even for school fundraisers. Raise money by charging for each run through the gauntlet through the sale of tickets if it is a fundraiser.

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.

Get creative with your prizes. You could have small medallions or even little trophies made for 1st, second, third and fourth places. Have individual work departments compete against one another. Candy and toys are always well received by the younger set.

Be sure to monitor any small children who may access this structure. Inform older, more rambunctious children and adults to be careful and watch out for the younger set as they make their way through the obstructions. If you have a large group, you may even wish to hire a few babysitters just to ensure that these little ones are kept safe. Or offer an alternative activity for the younger ones such as a moon bounce.

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.

You could even come up with a carnival theme and have many events and activities ready for eager participants. Add food booths, music, and skill challenges such as basketball free-throw tries and beanbag tosses. Celebrate holidays and enjoy family reunions with these competitive activities.
