Picking the Right Bouncy Castle

A jumping castle keeps a backyard party busy for hours, and in the far north's heat a water slide or splash-friendly inflatable often draws the longest queue. Getting it right comes down to space, shade and the weather.

Ask the hire company about:

  • Type: a themed bounce house, an inflatable water slide or an obstacle run, and which suits the ages coming.
  • Footprint: the length, width and height needed, plus clearance from fences, trees and power lines.
  • Surface: whether it can go on grass, concrete or sand, and how it's anchored.
  • Supervision: what the hire company expects of adults, and the age and number limits on the inflatable.
  • Wind and storms: the wind limit for safe use and what happens if a storm arrives on the day.
  • Delivery: what time it arrives and is collected, and whether your suburb is covered.

Pricing starts from $350 depending on the inflatable and the hire length. Pair it with teepee and picnic setups or a look through children's party ideas for the rest of the day.

Heat, sun and the wet season

  • Inflatables get hot in direct sun, so place the castle in shade or plan a morning or late-afternoon party.
  • Water slides suit the warmer months but need a safe water supply and a surface that won't turn to mud.
  • Wet-season storms can arrive quickly, so agree with the hire company what happens if wind or lightning stops play.
  • Keep sunscreen, hats and water within reach of the castle all day.

Setting up at home or at a park

  • Measure the yard, including gate widths, so the inflatable can be carried in.
  • Check power is close to the setup spot for the blower.
  • A public park may need a council permit, so ask the council before you book.
  • Allow space around the castle for shoes, towels and waiting kids.

Common Questions About Inflatable Hire

How much space does a jumping castle need in a backyard?

It depends on the inflatable, so ask the hire company for its footprint and height plus clearance. Measure your gate too, since the castle is carried in rolled up.

Are water slides a good choice for a summer kids' party in the far north?

They're popular in the heat, but they need a water supply, a safe surface and adult supervision. Check the wind and storm rules too.

What happens if a storm hits on the day of the hire?

Inflatables can't be used in strong wind or lightning. Ask the hire company about its weather policy before you pay a deposit.

Does jumping castle hire cover Port Douglas and the Tablelands?

Some companies cover the whole region, including Port Douglas and Kuranda. Ask whether your suburb is included and about delivery charges.

Who supervises the kids on the inflatable?

An adult from the party, in most hires. Ask the company for its safety rules on age, numbers and footwear.
