When most people think of a bounce house, they picture it tucked into a suburban backyard with kids jumping and laughing under the sun. But here’s the thing—bounce house rental options go way beyond your backyard! At Party Crashers Inflatables, we’ve set up inflatables in some pretty creative (and practical) places. If you’re planning an event and think you don’t have the space, think again. Here are seven surprising—and totally doable—places to bring the bounce.
1. Local Parks
Many parks across New Jersey allow inflatables for birthdays, field days, or community events. Just be sure to check with your local parks department about permit requirements and access to power (or ask us about generator options!). The open space gives kids room to run and play without worrying about lawn damage or tight corners.
2. School Fields or Playgrounds
Planning a field day, carnival, or spring fundraiser? School campuses are perfect for larger inflatables like obstacle courses and combo units. There’s space, supervision, and a built-in crowd ready to burn energy. We work with tons of schools each season and can help you pick the right mix of inflatables for your age group and budget.
3. Church Lots & Fellowship Halls
Churches are often overlooked as party spots, but they’re actually one of the best places for bounce house rentals. Whether it’s a spring picnic, youth group gathering, or a post-service celebration, inflatables bring people together—and the trackless train or photo booth make it even more fun!
4. Cul-de-Sacs or Closed Streets
If you’re throwing a block party or neighborhood bash, a closed-off cul-de-sac makes an ideal event hub. Bounce houses and inflatable games turn an ordinary street into a party zone. (Pro tip: coordinate with neighbors and the city if permits are required.)
5. Indoor Event Venues
Hosting in a gymnasium, community center, or banquet hall? Smaller bounce houses and toddler units fit great indoors, and interactive inflatables like the basketball shootout or inflatable soccer game can add a fun, arcade-style vibe. Bonus: no need to worry about the weather!
6. Community Centers & Gyms
Many townships rent out gym space for events, and they’re perfect for parties with inflatables. If you’ve got access to high ceilings and an open floor plan, you can bring the bounce indoors and keep the party going rain or shine.
7. Daycares & Preschools
Inflatables aren’t just for big kids—our Mickey Toddler Park and soft-play options are a hit with younger children. Surprise your daycare crew with a bounce day and watch them light up. We’ll handle the setup and breakdown, so teachers don’t have anything else to worry about except containing the excitement till the kids can play!
