Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does it Cost To Rent A Bounce House?
The cost to rent a bounce house typically ranges from about $150 to $400 depending on the size of the inflatable, the type of attraction, and the length of the rental. Basic bounce houses are usually the most affordable option, while larger combo bounce houses, water slides, and obstacle courses may cost more.
Pricing can also vary based on delivery distance, event duration, and the specific inflatable you choose. Many customers rent bounce houses for birthday parties, school events, church functions, and neighborhood celebrations.
At Fun Times Party Rental, we offer a wide variety of inflatable rentals to fit different budgets and event sizes. The best way to see exact pricing is to browse our available inflatables online or contact our team to help you choose the perfect option for your event.

We recommend reserving your bounce house rental as early as possible, especially during busy seasons like spring, summer, and major holidays. Many popular inflatables book out weeks in advance for weekends, school events, and neighborhood parties.
Booking early ensures you get the exact inflatable you want and guarantees availability for your event date. However, if your event is coming up soon, feel free to contact us anyway. We often have last-minute availability and are happy to help make your event a success.

Do inflatable bounce houses need electricity?
Yes, bounce houses require electricity to stay inflated during use. Each inflatable rental includes a powerful blower that runs continuously while the bounce house is in operation. The blower keeps air circulating through the inflatable so it stays fully inflated and safe for children to enjoy.
Most bounce house blowers use a standard household outlet (110–120 volts), the same type of outlet you would use for typical home appliances. For best performance, the blower should be plugged directly into a dedicated outlet using the extension cord provided by our team.
If your event location does not have electricity available—such as at a park, field, or outdoor venue—no problem! A generator can be used to power the blower. Many customers choose to rent a generator for park parties, school events, festivals, and other outdoor celebrations.
If you’re unsure whether your event location has the power needed, our team at Fun Times Party Rental is happy to help. We deliver and set up bounce house rentals throughout Sachse, Wylie, Garland, Murphy, Rowlett, and surrounding areas, and we can recommend the best setup to make sure your inflatable runs safely all day long.
How Many Kids Can Fit In a Bounce House
The number of children that can safely play in a bounce house depends on the size of the inflatable and the age of the participants. Most standard bounce houses can safely accommodate 5–8 children at one time when they are similar in size and age. Larger inflatables or combo bounce houses may allow more participants.
For safety, it is important to avoid overcrowding and to separate smaller children from larger kids during play. Our team provides clear safety guidelines during setup to ensure everyone enjoys the inflatable safely. If you are hosting a larger event such as a school function or festival, we can also recommend larger inflatables or multiple units to keep the fun going without overcrowding. Here is a helpful chart that better explains the breakdown when it comes to traditional bounce houses and combo units. - How Many People Can Fit Inside of a Bounce House
How Much Space Is Needed for a Bounce House?
Most standard bounce houses require a setup area of approximately 15–20 feet wide and 15–20 feet deep, along with additional space around the inflatable for safety and the blower. It is also important to have adequate vertical clearance free of tree branches, power lines, or other obstacles.
Before you book, feel free to check out the product page where it shows the actual dimension of the inflatable as well as the space needed to set ut up. Dont forget to measure up as that's something generally forgotten about. Feel free to call with any questions you still have.
What type of areas are you able set units up on? Concrete, Grass, Indoors?
You can put inflatable bouncy houses on grass, cement, or pavement, but not on rocky or sharp areas. Please ensure that you remove all toys, doggie droppings, and any loose items from the set up area. Also remember, bounce houses move from side to side, we cannot set up close to barriers (such as fences or walls) either.
Delivery and setup staff CANNOT navigate stairs, hills, etc. The setup location must be easily reachable for the delivery truck and within 50 yards of their vehicle.
Are bounce houses safe for kids?
As long as you follow the rules, bounce houses are safe.
So grab a chair and watch your children entertain themselves for hours (and hopefully, they will sleep all night). We also do our part in reducing the possibility of injuries.
Safety is our number one concern. Our jump houses are always equipped with:
- Secure double stitched safety netting keeping kids in the bounce area
- Safe flame retardant 18 oz heavy duty PVC vinyl
- Safety step at entrance of jump house for safe entry and exit
We are also a member and hold an advanced safety certificate from Safe Inflatable Operators Training Organization (www.sioto.com) and take pride in going the extra mile in ensuring safety. We are part of industry and local organizations that focus on responsible business growth and well-being in the rental industry.
Fun Times install technicians are properly trained and carry a safety-checklists. These are completed every time a bounce house is installed.
We also carry insurance and are certified as required by the State of Texas for inflatable rental companies. Ask for a copy if needed.
Do Bounce Houses Need Adult Supervision?
Yes, adult supervision is always recommended when children are playing in a bounce house. An adult should be present to monitor safe play, make sure children follow the safety rules, and prevent overcrowding inside the inflatable.
Supervisors should also ensure that children remove shoes, avoid rough play, and enter and exit the inflatable safely. Proper supervision helps prevent accidents and keeps everyone having fun.
For larger events like school functions or community festivals, some organizers choose to assign volunteers or staff members to monitor the inflatable throughout the event.
Are Bounce Houses Cleaned and Sanitized Between Rentals?
Yes. All of our bounce houses are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between every rental. We inspect each inflatable after pickup and use professional cleaning products to remove dirt, debris, and germs before it goes out to the next event.
Maintaining clean and safe equipment is extremely important to us. Our team takes pride in delivering inflatables that look great, smell fresh, and are ready for hours of safe fun.
How Long Can You Keep a Bounce House Running?
A bounce house can run safely for many hours as long as the blower remains plugged in and operating properly. The blower continuously pushes air into the inflatable to keep it fully inflated during use. Most bounce house rentals are designed to run throughout the entire event without needing to be turned off.
For longer events such as school festivals, church events, or community gatherings, bounce houses can operate for several hours at a time. Our equipment is commercial-grade and built for extended use. If your event will last most of the day, we can also recommend larger inflatables that are designed for high traffic and continuous play.
What do you do if the bounce house deflates during your event?
If the blower stops or the air pressure is low, remove all users immediately, and then check on the problem. The electrical cord should be plugged into an outlet and be the only thing operating on that electrical circuit. The blower tube should be tightly tied around the blower hole.
Verify the blower is sitting upright (not on its side) and there is NO debris blocking the air intake on the side of the blower.
Make sure air is not escaping from the blower tube. Verify all zippers are closed and not releasing air.
Circuit breakers should be checked for tripped breakers. If the breaker is tripped remove 1 or more motors from that breaker and plug them into another breaker. In the event we come out because of an issue with your electricity, there will be a $75 service charge.

Do you rent to festivals and large events?
Can Bounce Houses Be Set Up on Grass, Concrete, or Indoors?
Yes! Bounce houses can be safely set up on a variety of surfaces including grass, concrete, asphalt, gym floors, and indoor event spaces. The setup method simply changes depending on the surface.
When a bounce house is placed on grass, it is secured using stakes driven into the ground. For hard surfaces like concrete or indoor floors, sandbags or weighted anchors are used instead. Our team will always choose the safest anchoring method for your location to make sure the inflatable stays secure during your event.
If you are unsure whether your location will work, just let us know when booking and we will help determine the best setup option.
Remember:
If your event ends early and is at a public location, please call us immediately so we can try and send our representatives out early. We cannot guarantee someone will be available so you might have to wait until they arrive.
Mission Statement
Fun Times is a family owned and operated business with the foundation principals that emit good clean safe and wholesome family entertainment at reasonable prices.
We started out on a prayer and a dream to incorporate our family with a business we could enjoy going to work for. From the beginning we dotted our I's and crossed our T's. We thoroughly researched the safety of inflatable bounce houses. Investigated the different methods of selective marketing and how easy it should be to find us regardless of the method. We also brainstormed different creative ways to give customers a lasting impression of their special event. Those things matched with inexpensive prices of our jump houses, being open 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and good old-fashioned Christian morals give us a successful business plan that is untouchable in the Dallas inflatable rental industry. Check out our inflatable jump house rental contract. Give us a call or send us an email. We understand the need for fun with kids and the importance of safety with parents. Fun Times Party Rentals incorporates the best of both worlds with our spacewalk rentals. We will go out of our way to provide you with all that is expected and more from an inflatable bounce house business.
Safety
Bounce houses for rent are safe as long as the rules are followed. As with any playground equipment, everyday bumps and bruises are possible. The main rule is parental supervision during jump house rental (or usage). Most incidents in this industry occur from unsupervised bouncers. So grab a chair and watch your children entertain themselves for hours (and they will sleep all night).
We also do our part in reducing the possibility of injuries from inflatable bounce houses.
- Secure double stitched safety netting keeping kids inside inflatable
- Safe flame retardant 18oz commercial grade vinyl
- Safety step at entrance and stopper at base of slides
- ASTM and NFPA rating vinyl Cranking anchoring stakes for maximum stability
