Can bounce houses be inflated inside?
Yes, bounce houses can be inflated inside! Simply plug in the bounce house to an outlet to inflate. However, this may change depending on the size of the bounce house. Our bounces houses require at least 5,000 watts of power to operate properly.
What happens if it’s raining the day of my party?
Please check the weather forecast 72 hours in advance of your party! We will honor weather-related requests made with reasonable notice before the event date.
Does the bounce house need its own generator?
No, most bounce houses do not require a generator. Because our bounce houses can be plugged into an outlet to inflate, a generator is usually not necessary. However, for specific instances of outdoor events with no outlet available, you will need to provide a generator to inflate your bounce house.
How do I power the generator?
The generators require gas to operate. Depending on the length of your event the generator may run out of fuel to operate properly. You will be responsible for ensuring that your generator is properly fueled.
How far in advance should I book a bounce house?
At Clowns.com we typically have a waiting list 3 to 4 weeks in advance of your desired party date. For example, if your party is taking place on May 4th, chances are that date has already been fully booked by April 4th. The reason we are booked this far in advance is that we only have a select number of entertainers who work in-house. We do not contract or hire outside entertainers. This is contrary to how 99% of the clown industry works. While no one will ever admit it, this is unfortunately what takes place. We believe that we cannot sacrifice the quality of our show by hiring someone who does not understand the level of service which our clients expect. This is why we are selective about which parties we decide to take on. We recommend booking your party as soon as you are sure of the date and time of your event.
When are the bounce houses delivered and picked up?
Bounce houses are delivered as early as the night before your party, or as late as the morning of the party, depending on the routing schedules created for that specific weekend. Bounce houses are then picked up the day after your party.
