Corporate Event & Company Picnic Rentals in Tampa, FL
Bounce A Lot Inflatables has been running corporate events across Tampa Bay since 2005 — longer than any other inflatable rental company in the market. We’ve delivered for FedEx, Bank of America, Home Depot, Target, Pepsi, Marriott, Waste Management, and the U.S. Coast Guard. We’ve set up at Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa General, St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital, USF, the University of Tampa, Lowry Park Zoo, MOSI, and the Home Shopping Network.
That experience matters more than it sounds. A company picnic isn’t a backyard birthday — there’s a site plan, a power budget, a park permit, a headcount that keeps moving, and a facilities team that needs to know exactly when your truck arrives. We’ve done it hundreds of times, and we’ll walk you through all of it.
And one thing worth saying out loud: inflatables aren’t just for kids anymore. Our sports and interactive units — the joust, the velcro wall, the boxing ring, the human foosball — are built for adults, and at a company event they’re what people actually remember. We’ll bring the smaller units for employees’ kids and the bigger ones for the coworkers.
Inflatables Aren’t Just for Kids Anymore
This is the part most companies get wrong. They book a bounce house for the employees’ children and give the actual employees a folding chair. Our best-received corporate rentals are the ones the adults compete on — and we’ll bring smaller units for the kids alongside them.
Two-Lane Obstacle Courses
$387 – $697The single best corporate rental we have. Coworkers race head-to-head and everyone else watches. Our courses run from 45ft up to 86ft long — the 50ft Boulder Dash and the 86ft Full Assault are the ones companies book again.
Sports & Interactive Games
$137 – $197Velcro Soccer Darts, Soccer Billiards, Basketball Free Throw. Compact, competitive, and they run all afternoon without an attendant babysitting them. Great for a lobby, a parking lot, or an office park lawn.
Dunk Tank
$347500-gallon event dunk tank. Put a manager in it and watch the line form. It’s the highest-participation item we rent for company picnics and charity fundraisers, full stop.
Big Dry Slides
$277 – $417Our tallest dry slides reach 30 feet. Adults ride them. So do teenagers. The 22ft Jaws and the 30ft Tropical are the two that get photographed and posted.
Concessions
$57 – $135Popcorn, cotton candy, snow cones, and hot dog rollers — from $57 with 50 servings included. Concession machines spread foot traffic across your footprint instead of clumping everyone at one table.
Kids’ Units for Employee Families
$137 – $247Employee family day means kids come too. Bounce houses from $137 and combo units from $237 keep them occupied — which is the only way their parents actually get to socialize.
How Much Space Do You Actually Need?
Nobody in this business publishes these numbers, and it’s the question that derails corporate events more than any other. A facilities manager measures a lawn, books an obstacle course, and finds out on delivery day that it’s twenty feet short. Here are our real setup footprints — measure before you book.
| Rental | Space Required | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 86ft Full Assault Two-Lane Obstacle Course | 90ft L × 20ft W × 19ft H | $677 |
| 82ft Boot Camp Two-Lane Obstacle Course | 90ft L × 20ft W × 19ft H | $627 |
| 66ft Assault Two-Lane Obstacle Course | 71ft L × 20ft W × 19ft H | $507–$577 |
| 50ft Boulder Dash Obstacle Course | 60ft L × 25ft W × 19ft H | $697 |
| 45ft Wipeout Two-Lane Obstacle | 55ft L × 22ft W × 19ft H | $457 |
| 30ft Tropical Dry Slide | 35ft W × 35ft L × 31ft H | $397 |
| 22ft Jaws Dry Slide | 35ft W × 40ft L × 23ft H | $417 |
| 500-Gallon Event Dunk Tank | 12ft W × 20ft L (needs a 7ft-wide access path) | $347 |
| Velcro Soccer Darts | 30ft × 20ft | $197 |
| Large Bounce House (20×20) | 23ft W × 28ft D | $197 |
| Standard Bounce House | 18ft W × 22ft D | $137 |
| Concession Machine | 3ft × 3ft | $57–$135 |
Three things that stop a delivery, and they’re all avoidable: a gate or access path narrower than 7 feet (our dunk tank and larger units won’t clear it), overhead power lines or tree limbs below the unit’s listed height, and a site with no power within 100 feet. If you have any of the three, tell us when you book — we rent generators and we’ll plan the layout around it. Call 813-996-2935 and describe the space.
Companies That Have Booked Us
Twenty years of corporate events in Tampa Bay. This isn’t a stock-photo credibility page — these are organizations that hired us, and most of them hired us again.
Corporate
Hospitals & Healthcare
Universities & Education
Hospitality & Attractions
Nonprofits & Government
Every one of these events came with its own constraints — a hospital that couldn’t block an entrance, a university with a permit process, a park with a power limit. That’s the part we’re actually good at.
What We Handle Before Your Event
Most rental companies drop equipment and leave. For a corporate event that isn’t enough — you need someone who has already dealt with the park district, the power limits, and the facilities manager who wants a certificate of insurance.
Local park knowledge and permits
We’ve set up at parks across Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas. Most require a permit, some restrict inflatables outright, and a few have power limits that rule out certain units. Tell us the park and we’ll tell you what you’re dealing with.
Site plan and equipment layout
Send us the dimensions and we’ll map the footprint — where the obstacle course goes, where the food line goes, and how people actually flow between them. A 90-foot course in the wrong spot blocks the whole event.
Power requirements
Every inflatable needs a blower. Big units need more than one, and most parks and office lots don’t have enough outlets within reach. We rent generators and we’ll tell you exactly what your setup draws before the day.
Attendant coordination and rules
We’ll give your volunteers the rules, the capacity limits, and the guidelines for each unit — so the people running your event actually know what they’re doing.
Age and unit selection
Elementary kids, teenagers, and coworkers all need different equipment. We’ve done hundreds of these and we’ll tell you honestly what will get used and what will sit empty.
Tents, tables, chairs, and concessions
One vendor, one delivery, one pickup. Banquet tables from $14, picnic tables from $29, and concession machines from $57 including 50 servings.
Corporate Event Rental FAQs
How much do corporate event rentals cost in Tampa?
It depends entirely on what you rent, and every item is priced separately — nothing is bundled. Two-lane obstacle courses run $387 to $697. Large dry slides are $277 to $417. The 500-gallon dunk tank is $347. Sports and interactive games are $137 to $197. Concession machines start at $57 with 50 servings included, and banquet tables are $14. Call 813-996-2935 with your headcount and venue and we’ll put a real number together.
How much space do I need for an inflatable obstacle course?
More than most people expect. Our 86ft Full Assault course needs a footprint of 90ft long by 20ft wide by 19ft tall. The 66ft Assault needs 71ft by 20ft. Even the compact 45ft Wipeout needs 55ft of length. Measure the flattest continuous stretch you have — not the whole lawn — and send us the number.
What’s the best inflatable for a company picnic with adults?
A two-lane obstacle course, without much competition. Coworkers race head-to-head and everyone else watches, which is the whole point. The dunk tank ($347) is second — put a manager in it and the line forms itself. Inflatables aren’t just for kids anymore, and the adult-scale units are the ones people talk about back at the office.
Do you set up at parks, and do we need a permit?
Yes, we deliver to parks across Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties. Most parks require a permit for an event of any size, some restrict inflatables entirely, and several have power limits that rule out the larger units. We’ve worked in most of them — tell us the park and we’ll tell you what to expect before you commit.
What about power? Our lot doesn’t have outlets.
Every inflatable runs on a blower, and the larger units need more than one. If there’s no power within about 100 feet of the setup area, you’ll need a generator — we rent them. Tell us the site when you book and we’ll calculate the draw for your specific setup.
How clean are the inflatables really?
Every unit goes through a three-step cleaning process and is then sanitized with ECOLAB hospital-grade sanitizer before it leaves our warehouse. We name the product because most companies won’t. We’ve set up at Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa General, and St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital — those clients ask, and we have an answer.
Can you handle both employees’ kids and the adults?
That’s the normal setup. We bring smaller bounce houses from $137 and combo units from $237 for the children, and the obstacle courses, dunk tank, and interactive games for the coworkers. With 200+ units in inventory we can cover both without you calling a second vendor.
How far in advance should we book?
For a corporate event, as early as you have a confirmed date. Our large obstacle courses are single units — when they’re booked, they’re booked. Spring and fall company-picnic season is the busiest, and if your event depends on one specific piece of equipment, lock it before you finalize anything else.
Tell Us Your Headcount and Your Venue
That’s the whole first call. Give us the date, the site, and roughly how many people are coming — and whether employees are bringing kids, because that changes the package more than anything else. We’ll come back with a layout, a power plan, and a real number.
Start early if you can. Our large obstacle courses are single units, and when one is booked for a date, it’s gone.
