Look For An Inflatable Castle For Your Party

By Angela Hall


Inflatable structures come in all kinds of shapes, sizes and themes. Children thoroughly enjoy jumping on an inflatable castle at events with other children. These items may be purchased, rented or borrowed for activities like business promotions, church activities, birthday parties, family reunions or school events. They are easy to deliver and put up.

It is a matter of simply making a phone call to a company that rents inflatables, and allowing them to help you plan your activity. Their workers will deliver the inflatables you choose to the place of your event and install them for you, providing a stress-free solution to your party. The items will be up and ready to play on when your first guest arrives.

Just the sight of different inflatables being laid out and filled with air makes kids excited. They want to know what it will be when it's filled. Some are castles, some are adventure combos and some are pirate ships just waiting for children to come and play.

Kids love the bright, multi-colors. The big size is enough to capture a child's attention, giving him a great desire to play there with his friends. Jumping high in the air and falling to the ground gives a sensation of soaring through the air. Kids are willing to stand in long lines, laughing and talking with their friends, just to get to fly down a slide or bounce a few minutes inside a bouncy room.

There are a selection of bounce-ables for all ages. These are not limited to only seasonal activities either. Summer inflatables are more open and often include water activities, while ones with covers can be used in the colder, rainy seasons.

Consider choosing an inflatable obstacle course for big parties. These are longer than they are wide and have lanes for up to four people. This keeps the action moving at a faster rate of speed and allows the children to participate more often. Climbing areas, tunnels, pop-up figures and slides are just some of the obstacles included.

The first thing to consider when choosing a bounce-able structure is where it will be located and how much room is available. A commercial inflatable may be necessary if a large number of children will be present. Most rental places have a variety of safety features and special features that can be selected, too.

As a means of protecting the children who play on them, strict rules have been put in place in the countries who have inflatables for sale or for rent. The first rules began in Australia and then moved on to Great Britain and the United States. Some states are stricter than others, even requiring special licenses for operators. In certain areas inspections are made to make sure the equipment remains in good repair.

Although children love the bouncy inflatables regardless of their size, function or shape, they are not the safest activity there is. It is not uncommon for children to injure themselves while playing on them, and some even lose their lives. Some of the worst accidents have been those caused by wind lifting the inflatable toy off the ground and carrying it a good distance with the children still on it.
