How to use this guide

Pick a city, check its bounce house rule, then choose a venue. Many cities allow a bounce house only at certain parks, only with a permit or insurance certificate, or not at all; soft play, ball pits, kids tables and workshops rarely have those limits.

Rules and booking systems change. We checked every venue against its official page in October 2026; confirm with the city or venue before you pay a deposit. Want a hand? Ask us: we deliver to these parks every weekend.
