School Field Day & Campus Event Rentals in Sacramento: Inflatables, Obstacle Courses, and Carnival Games for K-12 Schools
School field days, fall carnivals, end-of-year celebrations, and campus events are some of the highest-volume events we serve. Hundreds of students cycling through attractions over a 4 to 6 hour event window means you need commercial-grade equipment that can handle the throughput, a vendor who is fully insured and can provide a COI for your school district, and a crew that shows up early, sets up fast, and handles the takedown so your staff can focus on the students. Bouncey House Rentals has been the entertainment vendor Sacramento area schools trust since 2008. Obstacle courses start at $429, bounce houses from $129, carnival games from $75 per game, and concession machines from $95. Every rental includes delivery, setup, and takedown by our trained crew.
We regularly serve San Juan Unified, Elk Grove Unified, Natomas Unified, Folsom Cordova Unified, Roseville Joint Union, and Twin Rivers Unified school districts. We handle purchase orders, provide COI documentation for any school facility, and work with PTA coordinators, event committees, and school administrators to match the right attractions to your campus layout, student count, and budget.

Campus Events Sacramento Schools Book Us For
From 200-student field days to 800-student carnivals, here is what works for each type of school event.
Spring Field Days
The biggest school event of the year for most Sacramento elementary and middle schools. Field days run April through June and typically involve the entire student body rotating through activity stations in 15 to 20 minute intervals. Obstacle courses, interactive games, and bounce houses are the three most popular field day rentals because they handle high-volume rotation efficiently.
Fall Carnivals
PTA-organized fundraising carnivals are a major revenue event for Sacramento schools. Carnival game booths serve as ticket-based revenue stations while concession machines generate food revenue. Add bounce houses, obstacle courses, and a rock climbing wall ($1,295) for a full carnival experience. Read our Fall Festival Guide for seasonal planning.
End-of-Year Celebrations
May and June end-of-year parties celebrate the school year with a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Water slides ($309 to $800) are the star attraction once Sacramento temperatures climb into the 90s. Pair with bounce houses, snow cone machines, and cotton candy machines for a complete end-of-year celebration.
Back-to-School Events
August welcome-back events set the tone for the school year. Sacramento temperatures are still in the 100s, so water entertainment is essential. Water slides, foam machines, and splash-friendly inflatables keep students cool while building community excitement for the new school year.
PTA and Booster Club Fundraisers
Revenue-generating events where carnival games and concession machines serve as ticket or cash stations. Schools set their own per-play and per-serving pricing and keep the proceeds. Our concession machines come with initial supplies, and extra servings are available. A well-run school carnival with 6 to 8 carnival games and 3 concession machines can generate significant fundraising revenue in a single afternoon.
Staff Appreciation and District Events
Teacher and staff appreciation events, district-wide celebrations, and administrative team-building days. These are adult-focused events where a mechanical bull ($995), interactive inflatable games, and carnival game packages provide entertainment that adults actually enjoy. Read our Corporate Event Guide for adult-focused event planning.
Best Rentals for Sacramento School Field Days and Campus Events
Obstacle Courses (From $429)
The number one field day attraction. High throughput, competitive energy, and all-grade appeal. From the backyard obstacle challenge for smaller campuses to the 100-foot Radical Run and 120-foot Wild One for large field days. Browse all obstacle courses.
Bounce Houses (From $129)
Essential for K-2 and elementary events. We carry themed bounce houses, combo bouncers with slides ($299+), and toddler-specific play structures for pre-K events. Multiple units spread across the field keep lines short and capacity high. Browse all bounce houses.
Carnival Games (From $75)
Perfect for fall carnivals and fundraiser events. Self-service games that students play at their own pace. Use as ticket-based revenue stations for PTA fundraisers. The carnival booth with 4 games is the most popular school carnival package. Browse all carnival games.
Rock Climbing Wall ($1,295)
The ultimate field day centerpiece. 26 feet tall, 5 simultaneous climbing stations, 3 difficulty routes (beginner to pro), trained attendant included, zero electricity required. Handles high student volume with 5 climbers on the wall at all times. View the rock climbing wall.
Interactive Games
Head-to-head competition for upper elementary through high school: human foosball, wrecking ball, bungee run, and jousting. These draw participation from older students who may have outgrown standard bounce houses. Browse all interactive games.
Concessions (From $95)
Popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy, and nachos. Double as fundraiser revenue stations at school carnivals. You set the price per serving and keep the proceeds. Browse all concessions.
What Works for Every Grade at Sacramento Schools
Pre-K and Kindergarten (Ages 3 to 5)
Small bounce houses (10x10 and 13x13 units), toddler-specific play structures like the Toddler Town and Lego Blocks Playground, and age-appropriate carnival games. Keep these students separated from older grade groups on different inflatables. One adult supervisor per 8 to 10 students in this age range.
Grades 1 through 3 (Ages 6 to 8)
Standard bounce houses (15x15), combo bouncers with slides ($299+), smaller obstacle courses, and carnival games. This age group transitions from toddler play structures to standard-size inflatables. One adult supervisor per 10 to 12 students.
Grades 4 through 6 (Ages 9 to 11)
Full-size obstacle courses, interactive inflatable games (human foosball, wrecking ball, bungee run), rock climbing wall, and larger bounce houses. This is the age group that gets the most out of competitive, physically challenging attractions. One adult supervisor per 12 to 15 students.
Middle and High School (Ages 12 to 18)
Obstacle course relay races, rock climbing wall, Meltdown Ninja Warrior, jousting, ax throwing, and head-to-head interactive games. Skip standard bounce houses for this age group and focus on competitive, athletic attractions. A trackless train works surprisingly well for high school events as a novelty experience.
Setting Up Inflatables on Sacramento School Campuses
Grass Fields and Athletic Fields
The ideal setup surface for inflatables. We use ground stakes to anchor equipment securely on grass. Most Sacramento school athletic fields and play areas have sufficient space for multiple inflatables spread across the field. Sprinkler heads should be flagged before our arrival so we can position equipment between them. The field should be mowed and free of debris.
Parking Lots and Blacktop
Many Sacramento school carnivals use the parking lot for maximum space. We use heavy-duty sandbag anchoring on asphalt and concrete surfaces. Parking lots work well for carnival game booths, concession stations, and inflatable attractions. Ensure the area is cleared of vehicles and swept clean of debris before our crew arrives.
Power and Electrical Access
Each inflatable requires one standard 110V outlet per blower (most units need 1 to 2 outlets). We bring extension cords up to 100 feet. Confirm outlet locations with your facility manager before event day. The rock climbing wall requires zero electricity, making it the most flexible attraction for campuses with limited outdoor power access.
Vendor Approval and District Requirements
Most Sacramento school districts require approved vendor documentation before allowing outside equipment on campus. This typically includes proof of general liability insurance (COI), sometimes naming the district as an additional insured. Bouncey House Rentals is fully insured and provides COI documentation for any school district. We also accept purchase orders for schools that use PO-based procurement. Start the vendor approval process 4 to 6 weeks before your event.

Sacramento School Event Rental Questions
How do we get vendor approval for inflatables on our school campus?
Contact your school's front office or district purchasing department and ask for the vendor approval requirements. Most Sacramento school districts require a certificate of insurance (COI) from the rental company, sometimes with the district named as an additional insured. Bouncey House Rentals provides all required documentation. Start the process 4 to 6 weeks before your event to ensure approval is in place before you book.
Do you accept purchase orders from schools?
Yes. Bouncey House Rentals accepts purchase orders from Sacramento area school districts and institutional clients. Contact us at (916) 548-7995 to discuss PO processing for your school. We invoice through your district's procurement system.
How many attractions do we need for a 300-student field day?
For a 300-student field day running 4 to 5 hours with grade-level rotation, plan for 4 to 6 inflatable stations plus 2 to 3 non-inflatable activity stations run by your staff. A typical package: 2 obstacle courses, 1 to 2 bounce houses, 1 interactive game, and 1 to 2 concession machines. Budget: $1,500 to $3,000. Add a rock climbing wall ($1,295) as the anchor attraction for larger field days. Call us with your student count and campus layout for a custom recommendation.
Can you set up inflatables on a school parking lot?
Yes. We use heavy-duty sandbag anchoring on asphalt and concrete. Many Sacramento school carnivals use the parking lot for maximum space and easy vehicle access for our delivery truck. The surface should be flat, cleared of vehicles, and swept clean. Read our bounce house safety guide for setup surface details.
How early should our school book field day rentals?
Spring field day season (April through June) is the busiest period for Sacramento school events. Book 4 to 6 weeks in advance. May and early June dates fill fastest. Fall carnival dates should be reserved by early September. Book online 24/7 at bounceyhouserentals.com/order-by-date/.
Can concession machines generate fundraiser revenue?
Yes. Popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy, and nacho cheese machines are popular fundraiser stations at Sacramento school carnivals. You set the per-serving price and keep the proceeds. We provide the machine, initial supplies, and extra servings are available for purchase. A well-run concession station at a school carnival can generate significant revenue in a single afternoon.
Is the equipment safe and clean for events with hundreds of students?
Yes. Every unit is vacuumed, hand cleaned, and sanitized with chemicals that kill 99.9% of germs after every rental. All equipment is commercial grade, rated for the high-volume throughput a school field day produces. Read our equipment cleaning guide and our how to choose a rental company guide for what to verify before booking any vendor for your school.
