Moonwalks have been around for a lot of years but have only recently become more popular. They can be rented for birthday parties or any other functions. The moonwalks are those large, inflated castles or slides with the long line of kids waiting their turn to jump around inside. Safety and setup are of extreme importance with these moonwalks. Supervision and correct instruction must be given in order for the party to be a success.
1. Proper setup is vital.
The fastest and most convenient way is to have the rental company install it when they deliver. You will need to ensure that all low hanging branches and shrubs have been cleared to make room for the size of the moonwalk. Your yard must be flat, preferably all grass with no cement, bricks, rocks or gravel around. The corners must be staked into the ground and held down with sandbags to make sure the moonwalk does not slip and slide while in use.
2. Always have a grown up acting as a guard.
Ensure they are aware of how to operate the jumping castle before being left alone to look after the children. Entrance into the moonwalk is through a front door and should be performed on all fours or from a sitting position. No shoes are to be worn inside and all sharp objects such as bracelets and glasses must be removed before entering.
3. Select a theme for your party and select a moonwalk to go with it.
For example, if your daughter is turning five you may want to rent a princess themed bouncer or, if your son is turning fourteen, you might rent a medieval styled one where the birthday boy and friends can joust inside with each other. Moonwalks come in different shapes and sizes. Here’s a thought: rent a large giraffe shaped jumping castles for your promotion that could be seen far away and instantly attract people’s attention. Grown ups won’t have to worry about the kids while they are browsing.
