Renting An Inflatable Obstacle Course For Your Next Party

By Rebecca Collins


There is a celebration or holiday gathering on your calendar that you need to prepare for. You are seeking activities for both adult and children. The usual fare of clowns, magicians, photo booths, and DJs has occurred to you but you are looking for something a little different, something that involves physical activity. Renting an inflatable obstacle course may be your best bet as it will provide so much entertainment and competition for all participants.

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!

Before you get too excited, remember, you need to have a proper place and space in which to set this structure up. A large flat, grassy area is perfect. Get the dimensions of the structure so you will know exactly what is needed. You can also inquire as to the possibility of setting it up indoors. If it can be placed indoors, a careful watch to ensure that children do not fall off the side onto hard surfaces will be required. A large carpeted room, such a ballroom would be ideal.

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.

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 everyone loves this activity, there are many more you can consider. These could include clowns, magicians, a dunking booth, carnival rides, a petting zoo, and maybe even a miniature train. There are many options to choose from to help provide ongoing entertainment to your event for both the young and the 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.
