Bounce houses are a lot of fun for kids and adults of all ages, but choosing the right one for your event is crucial to getting the most out of it. A bounce house that is too big for small children can be risky, while a bounce house that is too small for adults is no fun at all. After all, you can’t bounce much if you’re overweight or too tall, can you?
When looking at the available bounce houses, you’ll want to weigh a variety of factors to find one that’s right for your case. We’ll send you a checklist of information to remember, from collecting information for preparing your event to simply knowing your budget and the age of the attendees.
You should think about the following things when planning your event:
- Size: This one is straightforward. You’ll need a large enough bounce house for the amount of people attending, as well as a small one for small children. Also, the bounce house should be able to handle children of all ages, but young children and older children should not compete on the same bounce house.
- Size, Location, and Space: The size of your bounce house is critical to the safety of your event, especially for small and large children. You should have a large enough bounce house for your kids to run around in without colliding with obstacles, but it should still be small enough for them to walk around without difficulty.
- Accessibility: Both children and adults should be able to use the bounce house. If your event will be held indoors, your bounce house should have restricted access, such as not being put on a shelf that is visible from the street. The barriers or steps of the bounce house should be open to anyone whether your event is held at home or in the yard.
- Design: Aesthetics are the mother of creativity, so the bounce house should be appealing. Children will come to you with their hopes and desires, and an obstacle course-themed bounce house will not fulfill them. To make the children think of the bounce house as their own, it must be designed to stand out from the other obstacles they will face.
