What's the best rental for a 5-year-old's birthday?

A bounce house is almost always the top pick for ages 3–7. Add Ring Toss, Balloon Pop, and Duck Hunt as carnival games for a full afternoon of activity. One 6ft table for food and cake, plus kid-height seating.

What about a teen birthday party?

For ages 12–17: Axe Throw Challenge, Basketball Shootout, or Football Toss draw the crowd. Add cocktail high-tops with covers in the party's theme colour and one lawn game (Giant Jenga or Cornhole) for downtime.

What's a good adult milestone birthday setup?

40th, 50th, and 60th birthdays: 60" round tables and padded chairs for a sit-down meal, cocktail high-tops for the mingling hour, a barrel bar for the drink station, and 1–2 lawn games in the backyard. A throne chair makes a fun photo moment for the birthday guest.

How far in advance should I book a birthday party?

Book 2–4 weeks out for weekend parties in summer months. Weekday parties and off-season parties can often be booked same-week. Summer Saturdays fill up fast, so book early to lock in your bounce house.
