11 New York City rental companies carry equipment commonly used for kids' birthday parties. Bounce houses, games, and concessions make kids’ birthday parties easy — most party rental companies build their core inventory around them.
General guidance for planning a rental like this — from the PartyRents editorial team, not specific to any one company.
A standard bounce house needs roughly a 15×15 ft flat area plus a few feet of clearance on every side and overhead. Note gates, slopes, and low branches before you book so the unit actually fits.
Most inflatables run on a continuous blower and need a grounded outlet within about 50–100 ft, or a generator. Water slides also need a hose connection and a plan for drainage.
Grass is ideal for staking; hard surfaces need sandbags instead. Reputable operators pause or postpone in high wind or storms — ask about the weather and refund policy up front.
Plan for adult supervision, group children by size, and confirm the unit is commercial-grade and regularly cleaned. Ask whether an attendant is available if you want hands-off supervision.
Pick attractions to the age range and space you have. Interactive and mechanical pieces may need power, clearance, and an attendant — confirm requirements when you book.
Concession and warming equipment can draw significant power — confirm the circuit or generator can handle it, and match machine output to your guest count.
