Inflatable Game Park Hire: A Guide for Company Picnics and Family Days
A guide to hiring an inflatable game park for a company picnic: which games suit which ages, space and power needs, safety rules and what drives the cost.
An inflatable game park is a play area set up outdoors at a company picnic or family day, made up of bouncy castles, slides, obstacle courses and adult duel games. The hire service covers setup, blowers, safety staff and teardown; what the company usually needs to provide is a flat area and electricity.
The video shows an inflatable obstacle course, a pirate-themed bouncy castle and a lion costume mascot set up in a large tree-lined park. While children climb the course, parents stay right beside them in the shade.
Which inflatable games should you choose for a company picnic?
The best mix leaves at least one station for every age group. Our Picnic: Inflatable Games catalogue has more than 80 options, which we plan in three groups.
- For young children: ball pit, fun castles and bouncers, small slides.
- For older children and teens: obstacle course, climbing pyramid, giant slides, trampoline.
- For adults: human foosball, sumo wrestling, gladiator duel, bungee run, human darts.
- For hot days: water games such as the aqua run, water slide and water ball.
What do you need to set up an inflatable game park?
- A flat, even surface: grass is ideal, and a protective tarp is laid on hard ground.
- Electricity: inflatables stay up with continuously running blowers, so a suitable power point is planned for each station.
- Safety clearance: space is left around the games and under tree branches.
- Shade and seating: shaded areas are set aside where parents can watch their children.
- Flow plan: the layout between the food area, stage and game park is designed to avoid crowding.
How is safety ensured on inflatables?
Our crew sets up every station and a staff member stays with it throughout the event. Each game has rules for age and the number of people allowed in at once, shoes come off before playing, and small and older children are not put on the same game at the same time. If the wind picks up, the games are cleared.
What does the price of hiring an inflatable game park depend on?
The main factors are the number and size of games, headcount, event duration, city and travel distance, setup conditions, and extras such as a mascot and an animation team. To round out your picnic you can combine it with Picnic: Carnival Games, and for game ideas see our company picnic games guide.
