Best Inflatables for School Events

  • Obstacle Course (highest throughput, perfect for competition)
  • Dual Lane Slides (race format keeps kids cycling fast)
  • Large Combo Units (bounce + slide, great for mixed grades)
  • Classic Bounce Houses (great station for younger groups)
  • Water Slides (late spring / end-of-year heat = huge win)
