Which areas around Austin and San Antonio do you deliver bounce houses to?
We deliver Austin Bounce House Rentals and San Antonio Bounce Houses, plus surrounding areas including Pflugerville Bounce Houses, Kyle Bounce Houses, Cedar Park Bounce Houses, Georgetown Bounce Houses, New Braunfels Bounce Houses, and San Marcos Bounce Houses. Our Lockhart hub allows us to service both Austin and San Antonio efficiently across Travis, Williamson, Hays, Comal, and Bexar counties.
What makes bounce houses popular in Central Texas?
Bounce houses are one of the most requested rentals for birthdays, school field days, church festivals, and backyard parties in Austin and San Antonio. Families enjoy the variety of themes and the safe, active entertainment they provide.
What ages are bounce houses best suited for?
Bounce houses are generally designed for ages 3–12. For older kids, teens, and adults, we recommend larger inflatables such as obstacle courses or interactive sports games.
Can bounce houses be set up indoors in Austin or San Antonio?
Yes. Many churches, gyms, and recreation centers rent bounce houses indoors during colder months. A ceiling of at least 15 ft and wide access points are required for safe setup.
Can bounce houses be set up at parks in Austin or San Antonio?
Yes. Parks such as Zilker Park, Pease Park, and Mueller Lake Park in Austin, and Brackenridge Park, San Pedro Springs Park, and McAllister Park in San Antonio, allow bounce houses with permits. A certificate of insurance is usually required, which we provide, and generators can be rented if electricity isn’t available.
How much space is required for a bounce house?
Most bounce houses measure 13x13 ft or 15x15 ft, requiring about 17–20 ft of total space. Larger combos with slides may need more. Exact dimensions are available on each product page, and AR previews let you visualize the setup in your space.
How are bounce houses cleaned before delivery?
Each bounce house is vacuumed, washed with soap and water, and sanitized with EPA-approved disinfectant. Special care is taken with netting, steps, and entryways.
What safety rules should children follow in bounce houses?
Shoes must be removed, no food or drinks allowed, no flips or roughhousing, and children should be grouped by size. Adult supervision is mandatory.
Can bounce houses be kept overnight?
Yes. Overnight rentals are available for both private and community events. Select “8am pickup” at checkout for next-morning pickup.
What deposit is required for bounce house rentals?
Most rentals require a 50% deposit at booking, with the balance due on event day. For larger rentals over $1,000 — such as school carnivals, church festivals, or corporate events — only a 25% deposit is required.
What is your cancellation and weather policy?
You may cancel before delivery and receive full store credit with no expiration. If weather clears later, you can towel-dry the inflatable and continue using it safely.
Do you offer themed bounce houses in Austin and San Antonio?
Yes. Our inventory includes licensed Disney Princess, Marvel Avengers, Star Wars, Nickelodeon, and Paw Patrol bounce houses, along with sports and castle designs.
Do you provide toddler bounce houses for younger kids?
Yes. We carry toddler inflatables designed for ages 2–6 with lower entry points, soft play areas, and gentle slides.
Are bounce houses affordable in Central Texas?
Yes. We offer bounce houses at every price point, from basic moonwalks to deluxe combos with slides. Visit our Austin Specials Page for the latest discounts and seasonal offers.
What should I do if wind speeds increase during my event?
If wind speeds exceed 15 mph, immediately stop use and turn off the inflatable. Even with stakes or sandbags, inflatables cannot be safely secured in high winds. A good rule of thumb: if you see trees swaying heavily or a storm is approaching, power off the blower until conditions improve.
Why do Austin and San Antonio families trust Sky High Party Rentals?
With 20+ years of experience, 100,000+ events delivered, and 1,000+ five-star reviews, Sky High is trusted by families, schools, and churches across Central Texas. Our insured crews, background-checked staff, and AR previews make planning safe and stress-free.
