Our obstacle courses are a huge hit!

If you are planning a birthday party, community gathering, a children’s play day or any other kind of family or social occasion here in South Florida, why not add an inflatable to the fun?

Our obstacle courses are designed to offer maximum excitement and they can be erected almost anywhere.   Can’t decide which one to rent?  Here’s a rundown of some of our favorites:

The Corn Maze

Navigate your way past the dead ends and find the way out to conquer the corn maze.

The Spartan Challenge

We truly believe that The Spartan Challenge is the ultimate obstacle course, with so many different configurations, you and your guests will never run the same race twice. You can design and customize your next obstacle challenge, as The Spartan Challenge has over 15 different configuration options! You can mix and match the sections into what seems like endless combinations. This course offers 110 feet of awesome fun, and includes obstacles include: pop-ups, squeeze through, tunnels, biff and bash poles, log jams, and a rock climb leading up to a Double Lane 22 ft slide that’s 32 ft long!

Not quite brave enough to try it for yourself?  Not the worry as the course is surrounded by high visibility sun shade mesh for easy viewing, meaning you can still cheer on the riders as they navigate their way through to the end.

Radical Run Obstacle Course w/ 25ft Tall Slide

This monster of a race is a massive 90 feet long and gives you the chance to race against your friends along the way.  The course offers a series of obstacles that are designed to challenge even the most experienced riders, and you’ll need to be in great shape to run, climb, jump and slide your way to the end. You can also choose how best to run this ride as it can be set up side by side (45L x 35W x 25H) or also set up long (90L x 25W x 25H).

Who Says Bounce Houses are For Kids?

South Florida Bounce Has Something for Everyone

If you’ve got elected to be on the planning committee for your next corporate party, then you’ll want to pay close attention to this topic. While many parents assume that bounce houses and obstacle courses are for kids, they are also a welcome attraction for adults too. On the contrary, we often see parents sneaking in on the fun when these entertaining items are for a birthday or any celebration. In this blog, we give you a few hints on why inflatables aren’t just for kids to help you get inspired.

First, let’s discuss water slides as they are always a favorite item among both adults and children in South Florida. Since we live in a region that has excellent weather, it’s always a hot ticket to rent one of our many waterslides. Grownups can be seen wearing their favorite swim trunks and suits and slithering down the waterslide for a chance to be amused. Just because you think these attractions are meant for minors doesn’t mean everyone does. We always see parents with their children and a big smile on both faces.

Next, obstacle courses are a load of a grand and gratifying way to spend time during a work picnic or outing. These modern inflatables are perfect for team building and bringing new friends together while competing with one another. Just picture the CEO and the head of HR battling it out with our K2 Cliffhanger. Maybe a contest between team blue and team red battle to the death with Wipeout where they must climb on top of balls and other parts or get knocked over and lose. Many of our available stock can be inflated indoors or in a parking lot for your convenience.

Besides, the pitfalls of joy with an obstacle course, a good old-fashioned bounce house is never boring for big people. Also, you burn a ton of calories while jumping up and down. Where else can you wrestle with your best friend or next-door neighbor in a safe environment? A bounce house is a perfect solution to shake up any party, and it doesn’t matter what your age.

From photo booths to dunk tanks, we’ve got it all for your next party planning schemes. Just remember we serve people of all ages, and there’s something for everyone at South Florida Bounce.

South Florida Bounce Has You Hopping in April

From the jelly beans to the colored eggs, Easter Sunday has always been a favorite celebration for both families and friends in the South Florida area. The weather is still perfect for outdoor activities such as egg hunts and picnic style parties. This is also the time of year when people are planning their summer and fall parties. In this week’s blog, we help you think of ways to keep the month of April hopping to get your through your party celebrations without messing up one ‘hare!’

First, be sure to decorate with lots of love and pastels. Stop by a place like Michael’s crafts or drop into Pinterest to get fantastic decoration ideas for your home or office. If you get a head start on things like hanging up wreaths and floral arrangements, you’ll have more time to enjoy the décor.

Remember those who are alone or elderly. This holiday doesn’t have to be spent only thinking about chocolate bunnies and peeps. The real PEEPs are the ones who need you most. Stop in and visit one of your neighbors by bringing them a special treat or a cute little gift and watch how much your heart is warmed. Let this time be peaceful and joyous as a little lamb by doing good things for others.

Next, plan the perfect family meal. While ham and scallop potatoes are a tradition in some households, your party doesn’t have to include those items. Get creative. Don’t forget the holiday champagne. Passover or Pesach Seder is shared by lovely bowls of Matzah Ball Soup and who can’t resist braised brisket? No matter what you serve for your family’s dinner you’ll savor it more with every bite since you’re loved ones are there to share with you.

Lastly, be sure to keep the festivities going with lots of activity. Find fun games other than your egg hunts and pictures with the Easter Bunny. Games such as bunny bowling and making Easter slime can be just fun for your little ones.

If you’re planning on throwing a large party at one of the local parks, be sure to give us a call. We’ve got an extensive variety of attractions to make your outdoor event one your family and friends will always remember.

Retirement Party? Don’t forget the Kids!

It seems that many of us today are constantly on the go. When it comes to planning a party or an event, it makes perfect sense to work smart and not hard. Whether you’re organizing your child’s graduation party or a retirement party for your elderly father, it’s important to remember the kids. Rather than sticking them in another room with their video games, why not open the party for participation amongst all ages? In this week’s blog, we’ve got a few tricks to show you how.

Children tend to get bored easily, and in most cases, parents won’t even want to bring them to an adult themed party. However, today’s society has changed, and it’s more common now to invite the whole family rather than just colleagues and co-workers to such a milestone event. The biggest dilemma and one that is often overlooked is what to do for entertainment? One of our first solutions is, of course, to introduce you to the idea of having a bounce house on site. Whether it’s set up in a front yard or at a park, this is the main attraction amongst both kids and adults.

Next would be a waterslide. Since you live in a place like South Florida, it only makes sense to cool everyone off in the hot tropical weather with a splash of fun. While the children are out having, fun playing in the water, the adults can focus on telling stories about the guest of honor’s accomplishments. Think about it. This is the perfect solution to eliminating whining kids during grandfather’s speech.

Lastly, we’d like to mention; our obstacle courses are an excellent way for adults to participate and compete. As a corporate event planner, you can incorporate some team building skills along with saying goodbye to the employee. Using our many features at your next grown-up party will not only show you’re organized and can handle some pretty unusual tasks, but it will also make you a company hero!

Whether you’re looking to facilitate a phenomenal adult party or one where kids are involved, we have a multitude of solutions to make the day enjoyable for everyone. Contact our staff who specialize in celebrating to make your next party or even a smashing one!

Don’t forget to ask us about table and chair rentals too!

Total Meltdown – It seems kids these days stay competitive. Why not let them challenge each other to a complete meltdown that is interactive and gets them from behind the video games. Rather than sitting in front of the TV or computer, they can be a part of the action. This inflatable is ultra-safe and allows up to 8 players. On top of burning calories, this is a game that helps develop skills such as balancing and strategizing.

The Hurricane – Since Hurricane Matthew blew over most of South Florida, we’ve got another hurricane that’s taking its place. The Hurricane waterslide continues to be one of our hottest rentals and is perfect for the hot winter days in SoFlo. We can turn any parcel of land into a featured attraction with this 40-foot-tall monster waterslide. Be sure to book early as this is one of our most popular.

What Superhero’s Can Teach You

Winter carnivals are always a wonderland of fun. Good times apply when you live in a place like South Florida. Since there’s so much to do for planning one of these events, we thought we’d call on a few superhero friends to help you out! “Wonder-Twin Powers Activate”!

Supergirl suggests hiring a face painter who can create beautiful snowflakes since she wouldn’t want your event to be bizarre. Many of her friends will enjoy looking at your designs with her little vision. Since Supergirl is super-fast, she points out to have an experienced face painter who does designs at lightning speed.

Next, you can create giant igloos using plastic milk jugs for an easy to tear down and set up activity. Just like Captain Marvel is versatile; winter carnival activities don’t have to be costly just wise. By using household items to create fun stations, you’ve got the wisdom of Solomon just like that! “Shazam”!

Your guests can climb the rock climbing wall just like Spiderman without spinning the web. The visitors at this winter carnival won’t have time to get cold while using their superhuman powers to reach the top. Good times along with an excellent way to build skill with the 25’ high rock wall, perfect for any winter party.

The Hulk is sure to enjoy testing his strength and skills while adrenaline fills his veins in our Meltdown interactive carnival attraction. Mini-Hulk’s can enjoy hours of activity while they take on the Marvel Universe with their friends.

Both Batman and Robin are eager to slide into the bat cave with the dual lane skyscraper that’s 25 feet high and perfect for winter parties since this is a dry slide.

Of course, we know how hungry superheroes become bouncing around and playing interactive sports, and we have a solution. With a little “BAM” and a “Splat,” we’ve got the fun food supplies that are perfect for your event.

With a little help from the adventurers at South Florida Bounce, we can help you look like Wonder Woman or Captain America planning your next event., even if it’s a winter carnival in Florida.

Procrastinator Ideas for Your Fundraiser

It seems with the fall being upon us once again, more of our philanthropy events are taking place around South Florida. Every organization from the Boys and Girls club to the local churches are planning their yearly events. Many of us busy bees and procrastinators forget the entertainment till last. In this blog, we dedicate our expert advice to conjure up some ideas even if you’re a last minute planner. Read on!

Bounce houses are obviously a favorite past time for all ages. Today’s BH’s have more to offer than the moonwalks of yesterday. It’s important to know the square footage when reserving your BH with any vendor. The sqft gives them the opportunity to offer a great deal with the correct size.

If you have a more selected age group that’s older, consider one of the obstacle courses for your guests. You can charge the participants a dollar a fight and command the audience betting on the winner. Request local business co-op the event and donate a prize for the donation. Great way to build awareness of the event along with raising funds.

If this is a family event, strong games can be fun. Rock climbing is a favored feature for many of the younger generation.

Food vendors can be expensive. If you’re looking to offer food at your charity event, keep in mind that you can cook with our appliance rentals such as hot dog griller and cotton candy machine. South Florida Bounce has one of the biggest selections of food prep tools.

When you live in a place such as South Florida waterslides are extremely popular. With the perfect weather temperatures year around, a waterslide rental can be ideal whether your event is planned for July or December!

We’ve seen a lot of rentals for October with big races such as Cure for Cancer. If your event is a 5K marathon, we can’t suggest to you more how great waterslides are. Many of these races are family affairs; kids love to participate too. Now, watching dad run a marathon is more exciting for both fathers and children.

No matter if you wait until the last hour to throw your shin-dig together or you’re someone who’s run out of time, our office staff can help you schedule the perfect entertainment in town.

We’re here to help!

TV’s Influence on Bounce Houses

Shows such as Wipeout and American Ninja Warrior have stolen the hearts of both athletes and enthusiasts throughout the country. Long after shows like these are gone, another form of competing will appear. These shows have great influence on the inflatable rental business since so many people love the obstacle course themes. Not only are these a great way to entertain your guests, they’re an excellent resource for aerobics and cardio activity making them the ideal athletic pastime. Take a look at this blog to learn more.
The physical and mental limits are tested on shows such as Spartan Race where the contestants test their agility by participating in this intense obstacle course. They even have a kids race where children compete to finish the race. The kids set goals and then perform by running, jumping and crawling through mud. Sounds like every day, huh? The Spartan Race is a great way for kids to get into shape and gain self-esteem.
Don’t flip through the channels too fast, or you might miss it! OCR.tv is a new site that offers several obstacle course races for you to become familiar. Err on caution as they take obstacle courses seriously on this site. Man-made waterslides, rope climbing and plenty of crawling is what you’ll catch as these mega-athletes compete.
“Wipeout” stole the hearts of the nation when it was first introduced in 2008. Since its inception people have been entertained by watching people dodge giant orbs balls and running all kinds of challenging courses. Our Wipeout Bounce Course offers a similar challenge. The ABC show is undoubtedly missed since its completion in 2014.
Of course, NBC got on board with American Ninja Warrior which proves to be a big hit today. The sports entertainment business continues to delight viewers in South Florida across the US. A spin off of the Japanese show “Sasuke”, this is show where athletes of all types compete to complete the many challenges of the obstacle course to the finish line.
With all the craze going on with these shows it’s pretty safe to assume we enjoy watching the obstacle course activity. The other point to make is that these courses are for strengthening and showing ones’ agility. No matter what the age, or the athletic level this type of sports entertainment is for certain, we love to watch.

South Florida Team Building for Little League

The foundation work for many individuals begins during Little League sports. Like many of us in the work force we must be involved in some type of teamwork with other employees for us to be productive. As parents were able to foster the skills necessary for our children to become successful. Many of life’s lessons may come from joining some type of athletic activity. What we couldn’t agree with that more. Here are some team bonding activities that you can expect will take place when introducing obstacle courses as a team event.

By hosting a team bonding event you are encouraging your players to work as a collaborative theme. Fun activities allow the members to see things differently although seeking the same goal. Whether the team wins or loses is not the end result. However, the types of activities you should encourage would be motivation, communication, planning problem-solving and resolving conflicts.

Socializing and making new friends allows people to be more productive in an office setting. While that may be true, this can also be valuable during Little League competitiveness.

Competing against each other as a team rather than an individual will help the players bond.

Other than bonding with one another each team player can be encouraged to come up with innovative and creative solutions so that their team is closer to crossing the finish line.

Just as the coach has an assistant to help him when needed, teambuilding activities also allows a collaboration and a chance to become comfortable working together.

Several of our obstacle courses can be set up in a parking lot or on a field. Inflatable such as our Cliffhanger includes a 33-foot-tall rock climb slide, tubes to crawl through and enclosed space. These features make it ideal for relay races and several other challenging activities.

Our Warrior – Dash includes a 27-foot rock climb slide and is 100 feet long with plenty of obstacles to make it a challenge.

Taken from the popular show “Wipeout” this inflatable has giant orb balls is enclosed and has lots of soft matting which requires arduous activity. Because this obstacle course is made with soft but pliable material, children are safe to climb and bounce to their hearts content.

No matter which of our obstacle courses you rent the bottom line is the group will be learning some invaluable skills that they will have for a long time to come.

By making reservations and hosting an obstacle course event, your team will not only have fun but will learn valuable lessons that they will carry on for life.
