Rent An Inflatable Obstacle Course For Your Next Event

By Rebecca Collins


You have a party or a specific holiday or celebration on the horizon and are looking for interesting activities that will appeal to both adults and children. You have thought of all the usual activities such as magicians, musicians, caricature artists, and photo booths but are seeking something that will provide some physical activity. An inflatable obstacle course that that will provide hours of fun and movement may be just the perfect addition to your event.

This addition is perfect for birthday parties, graduation gatherings, reunions, employee appreciation picnics, and even for school fundraisers. Raise money by charging for each run through the gauntlet through the sale of tickets if it is a fundraiser.

Remember though, you will need to have the perfect area and plenty of space to place this activity. A large, level area is needed. Be sure to ask for the dimensions of the set-up structure before renting. A large indoor area will also work. It is a plus if this area is carpeted as it will be so much safer.

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.

Get creative with your prizes. You could have small medallions or even little trophies made for 1st, second, third and fourth places. Have individual work departments compete against one another. Candy and toys are always well received by the younger set.

It is very important to closely monitor any children who participate in activities on this structure. They could very easily get trampled in the rush or slip down through the sides to the floor. If you have an extremely large group tha is expected to enjoy this activity, it may be best to hire a few babysitters to keep an eye on younger participants. Or you may wish to be proactive by hiring an additional moon bounce for the little ones. It could be well worth the extra expense.

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.

Use a carnival theme to really set the stage for your event. INclude a variety of activities and games for attendees. Don't forget to include food booths, music, and challenges such as ring tosses, basketball free-throw competitions, and beanbag tosses. This is a really unique way to reward employees, celebrate a special occasion or raise money for a good cause.
