Bounce House Rentals
Classic inflatable castles, moonwalks, and jumpers for birthdays, school events, and backyard fun
A bounce house — also called a moonwalk, jumper, or inflatable castle — is the centerpiece of any great kids' party. Children ages 3 to 12 can jump, tumble, and play for hours in a safe, enclosed inflatable structure. Bounce houses come in a wide range of sizes, colors, and themes to match any event.
Whether you're planning a backyard birthday, a school field day, a church picnic, or a neighborhood block party, a bounce house is the easiest way to keep kids entertained. Most units are designed for outdoor use on grass, but many vendors also offer setups for driveways, parks, and indoor venues.
With JumpFun, you can compare prices from multiple vetted local vendors, see real photos of each unit, and book online in minutes. Most vendors offer professional delivery, setup, and pickup — so you can focus on enjoying the party.

Bounce House Safety Tips
Adult Supervision Required
At least one adult should watch the bounce house at all times. Never leave children unattended.
Follow Capacity Limits
Each unit has a posted maximum capacity. Overcrowding increases the risk of collisions and injuries.
Remove Shoes & Sharp Objects
Have kids take off shoes, glasses, jewelry, and anything sharp before entering to prevent punctures and injuries.
No Food or Drinks Inside
Food creates choking hazards and slippery surfaces. Keep snacks and drinks outside the bounce house.
Watch the Weather
Do not use inflatables in rain, high winds (over 15 mph), or lightning. Deflate and secure the unit if conditions change.
Proper Anchoring
Bounce houses must be staked into grass or weighted with sandbags on hard surfaces. Never operate an unsecured unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most standard bounce houses are designed for children ages 3 to 12. Toddler-specific units with lower walls and softer surfaces are available for kids under 5. Some larger commercial-grade bounce houses can accommodate teens and adults — check the weight limit on each listing.
You'll need about 3 feet of clearance on all sides of the bounce house, plus overhead clearance for any trees or power lines. A typical 13×13 unit needs roughly a 19×19 foot area. Larger units may need 25×25 feet or more. The listing page shows exact dimensions and space requirements.
Some bounce houses are rated for adult use — look for units with higher weight limits (300–500 lbs total capacity). Standard residential bounce houses are designed primarily for children. For adult-friendly options, check out our Obstacle Courses or larger combo units.
Most vendors offer free rescheduling or a full refund for weather-related cancellations. Inflatables should not be used in rain, high winds (over 15 mph), or lightning. Check the vendor's cancellation policy on the listing page and contact them early if the forecast looks bad.
Most rentals are for a full day (typically 6–8 hours). Some vendors offer half-day rates or multi-day discounts. Delivery and pickup times are arranged directly with the vendor when you book.
Yes. Bounce houses require a continuous air blower that plugs into a standard 110V household outlet. You'll need an outlet within 50–100 feet of the setup location. If power isn't available, ask the vendor about generator rental options.
When used properly, bounce houses are very safe. Key safety practices include constant adult supervision, following capacity limits, removing shoes and sharp objects, and not using the unit in bad weather. All vendors on JumpFun carry liability insurance and follow industry safety standards.
They're the same thing! "Bounce house," "moonwalk," "jumper," and "inflatable castle" are all regional names for enclosed inflatable structures designed for jumping. The equipment is identical — only the name changes depending on where you are.
