Most residential rentals include full-day use with next-day pickup, giving you plenty of time to enjoy without hourly charges. We recommend booking 2-3 weeks in advance for weekend events, especially during summer months and graduation season.

Are your bounce houses safe for Amherst schools?

Absolutely. All Party Patrol inflatables are SIOTO safety-certified and meet Massachusetts state regulations for commercial use. Our delivery staff is CORI-verified (background checked) and trained in proper setup procedures. Amherst is one of our most popular towns for school events!

What's included with bounce house delivery in Amherst?

Every Amherst bounce house rental includes professional delivery, complete setup by our trained staff, safety instruction and operational guidelines, stakes or sandbags for secure anchoring, and next-day takedown after your event. Setup is included for most grass installations. Additional fees may apply for pavement, asphalt, or indoor setups. Setup typically takes 30-45 minutes.

How far in advance should I book for an Amherst event?

We recommend booking 2-3 weeks in advance for optimal selection, especially during peak season (May through September). However, we often accommodate last-minute requests if inventory is available. For popular summer weekends, holidays, UMass graduation weekend, and Amherst's July 4th celebration, booking 3-4 weeks ahead ensures you get your first choice. Call (413) 230-0596 to check same-week availability.

What happens if it rains on my Amherst rental day?

New England weather can be unpredictable! If severe weather (thunderstorms, high winds over 20mph, or heavy rain) makes setup unsafe on your rental day, we allow rescheduling with 36 hours' notice. You can either reschedule your event (subject to availability) or receive a raincheck valid for up to one year — no extra fees, no stress. Light rain is generally okay for water slides. Note: Tents and tent packages are not included in the weather guarantee.

Do you require a deposit for Amherst rentals?

We require a 20% deposit at the time of booking to reserve your rental date and equipment for your Amherst event. The deposit can be paid securely online or over the phone. We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), debit cards, and checks. The remaining balance is due at delivery. If you need to cancel, deposits are refundable up to 7 days before your event date (weather cancellations are always fully refundable).

Can you deliver to Groff Park or the Amherst Town Common?

Yes! We regularly deliver to Amherst parks and outdoor spaces including Groff Park, the Amherst Town Common, Mill River Recreation Area, Plum Brook Recreation Area, and other public areas for birthdays, graduations, and community events.

What size bounce house do I need for my Amherst party?

For typical backyard birthday parties with 10-15 kids, a standard 13x13 bounce house works perfectly. For larger groups (20-30 kids) or if you want sliding features, we recommend combo units (15x15 or larger). For school events, church gatherings, Greek life events, or community festivals, our obstacle courses and large commercial units can handle 50+ kids rotating through. We're happy to help you choose the right size based on your guest count, age range, and available space.
