Rent An Inflatable Obstacle Course For Your Next Event

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.

To be able to rent this structure at all, you must have a proper area to set it up in. What is needed is a large, flat grassy area. Before renting, be sure to get the dimensions of this large structure to ensure that you do have room for it. You may even have an indoor space that is suitable. Remember: extra care would need to be taken to make sure small ones do not tumble over the side onto a hard surface. If a huge carpeted area is available, so much the better.

The biggest advantage of renting this structure is the ability to turn it into a very competitive activity. Before your event, be sure to purchase or borrow some stopwatches so you can individually time the competitors who run through the maze. Designate "helper, " who can assist. To be even more precise, make vests with numbers on them so scores can be more easily kept in each heat. If it is an employee party, have different department race against each other. If several individuals compete, you may need to have several heats and then have the winners of these heat compete against each other.

You can come up with fun and unique prizes for all the winners. Arrange for medallions and/or small trophies to be presented a the end of the festivities. Encourage different work departments to compete. For the younger set, candy and toy prize are always fun and welcome additions.

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 the course is a rousing success, you may wish to add other components such as magicians, clowns, a dunking booth, miniature carnival rides, a petting zoo, and maybe even pony rides or train rides. Thre are many options to select from that will help make your event more memorable and successful. Be careful, if you are too successful at these arrangements, you may find yourself in charge of them for many years to come.

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.
