Fun Jumps And Water Slide Rentals

We love bringing our Fun Jumps and Water Slide Rentals from The Hop Shop to summer events where we want laughter to echo across every splash and bounce. Our setup process starts with a walkthrough of your space—measuring for clearance, checking available power sources, and planning safe traffic flow to and from the slide. Once everything is spot-on, we carefully anchor the jump units with stakes or weights depending on your surface. As the inflatable giant begins to take shape, we inspect airflow, check seams, and test the slide's slope for safe gliding. Throughout your event, we monitor air pressure and hose connections so the slide remains crisp, dry (or delightfully wet, if chosen), and ready for endless sliding fun.

We've seen firsthand how our colorful water slides transform a simple backyard into a playground of joy. Families tell us they love the customizable splash pools—perfect for younger children—while teens gravitate toward the towering slide lanes. We take pride in offering single-lane racers for friendly competitions and wider slides that accommodate two riders side by side. No matter which model you choose, our cleaning protocol includes food-grade detergent used in rinses and inspections at the end of each rental so every guest enjoys a fresh and hygienic experience.

Our Inflatable Rentals at The Hop Shop are a game-changer for event planners who want a turnkey experience. We maintain a rotating stock of interactive inflatables, including obstacle courses with weave poles and climbing walls, dunk tanks for fundraising, and bounce-and-dunk combos that bring high engagement to school carnivals and church functions. Each inflatable is stored in a climate-controlled space to preserve material integrity and prevent mildew, ensuring long-lasting reliability.

Our team rolls in on setup day with custom tarps to protect lawns or asphalt from heat or abrasion. We've perfected our anchoring system, using ground stakes in soft areas and ballast bags or sand in more complex spaces. Before letting guests in, we conduct a complete safety inspection—checking electrical cords, blower operation, anchor tension, and enclosure integrity. And while your party's running, we're only a quick phone call away if you want to adjust airflow, reposition the unit, or swap a blower to ensure it stays bouncy and safe.

Bounce House Rentals

Bounce houses from The Hop Shop are more than just big bags of air—they're themed experience zones. We offer licensed designs featuring superheroes, princesses, dinosaurs, and more, plus custom color palettes to match school or team events. Each bounce house arrives equipped with soft landing mats, a Velcro-secured mesh entrance, and rounded edges to reduce trip hazards.

During setup, we verify that inflatables sit on level ground and secure them with safety straps at six to eight anchor points. Then, one of our technicians demonstrates proper entry and exit methods, labels rules in clear print, and guides you through wind safety protocols. If the crowd grows, you can reach us during your event for blower maintenance or repositioning. Afterward, our staff deflates the bounce house, neatly folds it into its bag, and conducts a surface cleaning on-site, leaving your location tidy.

Bounce and Slide Combos

Our Bounce and Slide Combos are carefully engineered to offer dual-action fun. We include netted vents for airflow and kid-safe climbing steps inside the bounce chamber. The attached slide often features high side rails to prevent accidental slips and splash pools at the bottom for water fun. We tune the blower pressure to balance the bounce area while ensuring the slide remains firm yet cushioned.

When customizing your rental, we help you decide on slide height, dry vs. wet options, and size increments—from compact combos ideal for patio-sized spaces to multi-lane slides that become a carnival centerpiece. We bring hose adapters, mats, and even extension cords when needed. After setup, we run a final walkaround inspection, testing net tension, inspecting fasteners, and filling the splash well to the correct depth. As guests enjoy it, we remain reachable if you want the water pressure adjusted or a cleaner cloth to wipe off stray debris from the slide surface.

Party Equipment Rental Service

At The Hop Shop, our Party Equipment Rental Service offers everything you need for a seamless event. We can match your inflatable to a tent that shields guests from midday sun or light rain and add sidewalls with windows that let in light while protecting against wind. We include banquet tables in various sizes—30", 60", or 8-foot lengths—and folding chairs in white or black resin that complement almost any décor.

Concession machines are a highlight: we maintain clean, commercial-grade popcorn machines with old-fashioned kettles, snow cone units with stainless steel blades, and hot dog steamers with timer settings. Our generator fleet includes gas-powered units with sound-dampening enclosures, ready-to-power inflatables, or lighting setups. All equipment arrives with user manuals and is set up by our certified team, who verify electrical safety, tent tie-downs, and table leveling. On-call during your event, we fix lighting flickers or swap machine filters so everything keeps humming—it looks professional, runs smoothly, and gives you one less thing to manage.

Inflatable Castle Rentals
Inflatable Castle Rentals

Our Inflatable Castle Rentals bring a fairytale to life. Many models feature multiple access points—stairs and ramp entries—designed for preschoolers and bigger kids alike. Inside, we include eye-level mesh windows so supervisors can easily watch for younger jumpers. We offer castles with dual zones: a bounce chamber on one side and a small slide or basketball hoop on the other.

We pay attention to aesthetics and safety. We inflate the castle until fabric textures are taut and vertical walls are strong enough to stay upright even under steady bouncing. Mold-resistant materials are used; we clean them with eco-friendly sanitizers rated safe for children. As we anchor the unit, we share guidelines about consenting to rental duration, blower runtime, and maximum rider load. After the party, our technicians deflate slowly to avoid sudden air release, wrap the castle neatly, and do a site sweep—collecting stakes and mats included with the rental.

Bounce House Rentals

Our standard Bounce House Rentals at The Hop Shop are favorites for families who want reliable, crowd-pleasing entertainment. We offer simple two-tone models and bold character themes that stand out at school fundraisers and community events. Each house includes a blower with a safety grill, an internal airflow chamber for better bounce consistency, and extra mesh panels for ventilation.

For a better user experience, we offer optional add-ons: sandbags for turf installations, rain covers in case of unexpected showers, and ambient lighting strings if your party runs into dusk. On-site, we perform blower airflow checks, test anchor integrity, and balance internal air distribution by adjusting the skirt height. We walk you through basic troubleshooting—such as resetting locations and how to turn off and restart the blower safely—and we remain alert via call or text if any issues arise. When the day's finished, we deflate, conduct a spot clean, and gather power cords and equipment, leaving your space and guest memories intact.
