Kids' Birthday Party
Kids Games and Activities: Inflatable Playgrounds
The world of inflatables is huge! You can rent an inflatable pirate ship, fire truck slide, games like Twister, and much more.
Go beyond the old bouncy house for this event with an inflatable playground that has fun blown-up shapes, like mushrooms or turtles, on the jumping surface.
These types of inflatables have an open top as opposed to the ceiling net on most bouncy houses, which makes them feel more "open" and inviting for younger kids. Check out the selection at MagicJump.com for ideas and then see if the inflatable unit is available from vendors in your area.
Big Top Concessions:

Popcorn machines are always a big hit and a make-your-own cotton candy machine will give your party a real circus feel. Many inflatable rental vendors also have concession machines, which are a great addition to any event.
