Large event bounce houses generally measure at least 15x15 feet, with some combo units and obstacle courses running 20x20 feet or more. These spacious inflatables accommodate diverse age groups and higher guest counts, perfect for festivals, grand openings, or community gatherings. For effective crowd rotation:
Standard 15x15 bounce houses allow up to 8–10 kids (ages 5–12) or 4 teens at once.
Oversized units, combos, and obstacle courses can cycle through 60–250 participants per hour, thanks to separate entry/exit points and features like slides.
Always check manufacturer guidelines for weight capacity—many large inflatables support up to 1,000 lbs.
Safety is crucial when dealing with large groups and active play. Key guidelines include:
Enforce clear age and size separation, keeping older kids and teens apart from little ones to minimize collisions.
Place trained adult supervisors on each entrance and monitor rough play, overcrowding, and footwear use.
Ensure the bounce house is secured with heavy-duty stakes or sandbags, especially in festivals or open spaces, and maintain two to three feet of clearance around the inflatable.
Follow local amusement ride regulations and insurance requirements, especially for schools, public venues, or commercial events.
Post entrance/exit rules and weight/height restrictions prominently for quick compliance.
Large bounce houses aren’t just about room—they offer unique features that keep crowds entertained:
Choose units with bonus activities: slides, obstacle elements, basketball hoops, or themed graphics.
Time participants to keep lines moving and energy high; consider rotating through groups every 5–10 minutes for extra-large crowds.
Add shade tents, water stations, and music for comfort and ambiance at outdoor venues.
