Fall Carnival Party Rentals

carnival games

The changing of the seasons is often the inspiration for a fall carnival to mark the end of summer and the transition to autumn. Midway games are one of the most popular activities at carnivals and with enough space, any individual, business or organization can create a fall carnival.

Games

No carnival would be complete without a selection of games. People can choose from the classic ring toss, milk bottle knock down, and bean bag toss. There’s also the frog fling, and the perennial favorites of skee-ball, wack-a-mole, and Velcro axe throw. Don’t forget the ring-the-bell strong man challenge for kids. Sports fans can try their hand at the basketball throw or test their baseball throwing arm at the radar gun speed test.

Inflatables

The popularity of inflatables has continued to increase at professionally operated carnivals and they’re available as rentals. There are multiple models from which to choose, with dry slides being a favorite. Another option is Jacob’s Ladder that challenges people to climb a rope ladder to the top of an inflatable. Don’t forget an inflatable corn maze.

Booths

Brightly-colored booths can be rented to conduct any number of activities from a shooting gallery and tip-the-can to tic-tac-toe and Velcro bull’s-eye games. They’re an ideal way to keep game operators cool.

Dunk Tank and Cash Cubes

There are few people that can resist the allure of a dunk tank or cash cube. Dunk tanks are even better if local celebrities or officials agree to be dunked. Portable dunk tanks are collapsible and are always a favorite. No one can resist the opportunity to catch a few dollars with a cash cube.

Bungee Trampoline

For those that want the thrill of extreme sports without the risk, a bungee trampoline is ideal. The devices can accommodate up to 5 individuals. The harness and rope systems enable people to jump higher and perform maneuvers that wouldn’t be possible on an ordinary trampoline.

Kiddie Activities

Younger children can get in on the fun with inflatable bounce houses and toddler playlands that enable them to participate in multiple age-appropriate activities. Trackless trains provide fun travel throughout the carnival or as a stand-alone ride.

Good Old-Fashioned Carnival Food

If you have ever been to a carnival, then you know how much fun those can be. If you have not, you really need to attend one. What makes carnivals stand out is the intoxicating mix of music, fun activities, and very importantly – food. Carnival food is something to behold.

Carnival food is neither gourmet nor will it be served with a sprinkling of cilantro. However, it is one of the reasons why people go to the carnival. It is one of those happy foods that you will have a super fun time indulging in. Most carnival foods are not something you can have every day, and can, therefore, be considered a treat. They are just one of those things you do occasionally because they are fun. Some of these carnival foods include:

  1. Cotton candy

This is one of the carnival originals. Anyone who has been to a carnival will tell you that you cannot say you went to one if you did not have cotton candy. It is especially a treat for children who get to binge on sugar without being restricted. This puffy ball of spun sugar is one of the best things at a carnival.  If you want to feel like a child again, cotton candy will get you there. We know this because, at South Florida Bounce, we have cotton candy machines for parties. Our cotton candy machines are capable of 60 servings of delicious goodness.

  1. Popcorn

Although popcorn cannot be really labeled as a carnival food exclusively, it is a must-have at such events. Despite being found at the movies or the ease of making them from home, there is a special feeling about eating them in a carnival atmosphere. It could be the people, or the music, or all the other activities, atmosphere. But somehow, popcorn tastes better in carnivores.

  1. Hotdogs

We all know how awesome hotdogs are. They are those predominantly American foods that are available at any large gathering or street corner. It is virtually impossible to go to a carnival and not pass by the hotdog stand. That is akin to going to a circus and not seeing the tightrope artists. If the wafting aroma doesn’t lure you in then their sight will.

  1. Corn dogs

These sausages coated in a layer of corn batter are the typical carnival food. They are not the healthiest of meals, so you cannot have them every day. They are, however, the perfect cheat day food. And if you are at a carnivore, you are allowed to spoil yourself a little.

  1. Snow cones

You have not lived if you have never had a snow cone. These shaved-ice treats taste incredible and create an amazing cooling effect during a hot day. They come in different colors and you can even have them in a rainbow. These different colors mean that the snow cones come in different flavors as well. Be careful though, if your child has too many of these, you will have a huge sugar rush to contend with. And we all know how annoying those can be.
