Inflatables and Bounce Houses for Schools - Field Days and Other Events

If your school rents inflatables for field day every spring, the rental fees add up fast. Buying commercial field day inflatables lets you use them for field day, the fall carnival, PTA fundraisers and end-of-year celebrations without booking and paying for a rental each time. From elementary schools and daycares to colleges, Gorilla Bounce sells the obstacle courses, games and bounce houses schools use year after year.

Field Day Obstacle Courses

An inflatable obstacle course gives field day its main event. Two lanes let students race side by side, and classes rotate through quickly, which keeps lines short. Our inflatable obstacle courses are built with the same 15 oz glossy vinyl and reinforced stitching we use for rental companies, so they hold up to a full day of classes.

Games for Field Day Stations and School Carnivals

Field day stations and school carnivals both need activities that several kids can play at once. Our inflatable games include bungee runs, jousting, twin basketball shooters, bucket pitching and giant tic-tac-toe, and each one runs as its own station.

Inflatables for Every School Level

Daycares and preschools

Younger children do best on smaller bounce houses with lower walls and simple layouts. Browse our commercial bounce houses for smaller units that fit a daycare playground.

Elementary and middle schools

Obstacle courses, combo bounce houses and games cover field day, carnivals and reward days. In late spring, a wet/dry combo can double as a water slide for the last day of school.

High schools and colleges

Older students go for competitive games like jousting, the boxing ring, the wrecking ball and axe throwing. These work well for orientation week, homecoming, spirit days and campus activity nights.

Built for Years of School Events

School equipment gets used hard and stored for months at a time. Our units use 15 oz glossy vinyl with heavy small-hole netting, and slides taller than 6 feet include no-jump netting at the top. Every unit comes with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Learn more about our commercial-grade construction.

Buying for Your School

Shipping is free to the lower 48 states, and financing is available through QuickSpark. Many PTAs and PTOs fund the purchase with a single fundraiser, then save the rental fee every year after.

FAQ

What inflatables work best for school field day?

Obstacle courses and multi-player games handle the most students per hour. A two-lane obstacle course paired with two or three game stations covers most field days.

Can our school buy an inflatable instead of renting one?

Yes. We sell commercial-grade inflatables directly to schools. If you rent the same units every year, buying often costs less after a few years.

How do we store inflatables between events?

Make sure the unit is fully dry, roll it tightly and store it in its storage bag in a dry area. We carry storage bags and straps.
