Start with the look

Match the castle to the party

A bouncing castle (or bouncy castle, or jumping castle, depending on who is asking) is an air-filled play bed with soft walls, kept firm by an electric blower that runs the whole time children are on it. Ours range from a 4.5 × 4.5 m garden castle to an 8 × 8 m large castle, with a dry-slide castle, a two-slide castle, a white bounce house and an obstacle course between them.

Guide

Hiring a bouncing castle, step by step

Two questions decide which one you need: how much level ground you have, and how many children of what age will queue for it. The sections below answer both, then cover wind, supervision and what happens on the day.

Bouncing castle prices in Kenya, castle by castle

Each price is one castle for a standard 24-hour hire, counted from when our crew finishes setting up. The 4.5 × 4.5 m garden castle is KSh 6,500, the 6 × 6 m castle with a dry slide is KSh 8,500, the two-slide bouncing castle is KSh 12,000, the white bounce house is KSh 15,000, the inflatable obstacle course is KSh 16,000, and the large 8 × 8 m bouncing castle is from KSh 25,000, depending on the unit.

Delivery, anchoring, inflation and collection sit inside those figures. Transport is the separate line, worked out from the distance between our Uthiru yard on Waiyaki Way and your venue. A birthday with the dry-slide castle, two kids' tables and sixteen white kids' chairs comes to KSh 13,700 before transport, and 50% of the quote holds the date.

How much space a bouncy castle needs

Measure the level ground, then add a margin. The 6 × 6 m castle's listing asks for a 7 × 7 m flat area, which leaves room to walk around it and for the blower tube at the back. Nothing should hang over it: a branch, a washing line or a power cable.

Then say what the ground is. The UK Health and Safety Executive's guidance on inflatable play equipment (the kind built to the BS EN 14960 standard) asks for at least six anchor points on every inflatable. On grass that means steel stakes at least 380 mm long; on paving or concrete, where a stake cannot go in, it means ballast of at least 163 kg at each point. That is why we ask grass or concrete when you book: the crew loads different kit for each.

Wind, rain and when a castle comes down

Inflatables catch wind like a sail. The same HSE guidance puts the limit at 38 km/h (24 mph): above that, no inflatable should be in use, and some units carry a lower limit in their manual. It also warns that a phone weather app is no guide, because it cannot see the gusts in your garden; watching how the trees move is a better clue.

Rain is the other reason to stop. A wet bed is slippery and our castles are listed for dry weather only, so in heavy rain or strong wind the castle stays rolled up or comes down. Our policy puts safety ahead of the plan, and we work through a later slot, a swap or another date with you first. Keep a covered corner ready for a short shower.

Ages, numbers and who watches the children

An adult must watch the children on a castle at all times, and parents, guardians and the host stay responsible for them throughout. The 6 × 6 m castle comes with a child minder from our team who keeps the numbers to 8 to 10 children aged 3 to 10; the large castle's listing also names a minder. For the other four, ask when you book.

The HSE's own advice lines up with ours: keep to the number on the unit's label, keep bigger children apart from smaller ones, and take off shoes and glasses and empty pockets first. We add food and drinks to that list, and recommend active play between 10am and 6pm, in daylight, when everyone can see the bed.

On the day: set-up, cleaning and collection

For the dry-slide castle the crew arrives about two hours before your start to check the ground, the anchoring and the power. Blowing it up takes around 20 minutes once the area is ready, and packing away starts about an hour after the party ends. Every castle is pressure-washed and vacuumed at our yard before it leaves, then wiped with a skin-safe disinfectant once it is up.

You provide a socket on continuous power for the blower. If the party is bigger than one castle, the kids entertainment range adds face painting, popcorn and games, and on a hot afternoon our water slides for hire in Nairobi or a trampoline spread the queue out.

Questions parents ask

How much is a bouncing castle in Kenya?

With us, KSh 6,500 for the 4.5 × 4.5 m garden castle, KSh 8,500 for the 6 × 6 m castle with a slide, KSh 12,000 for two slides, KSh 15,000 for the white bounce house and KSh 16,000 for the obstacle course; the 8 × 8 m castle is from KSh 25,000. Transport is added by distance.

How much does it cost to hire a bouncy castle for the day?

The prices above cover a 24-hour hire, counted from the end of set-up, with delivery, anchoring and collection. Active play is best between 10am and 6pm.

How much space do you need for a bouncy castle?

Level ground a little bigger than the castle: 7 × 7 m for the 6 × 6 m castle. Check the gate too, because the castle is carried in rolled up.

What age is a bouncing castle for?

The 6 × 6 m castle is for ages 3 to 10; the obstacle course suits roughly seven and up. Keep bigger and smaller children apart.

Is a child minder included?

Yes with the 6 × 6 m castle and the large castle. An adult from your side must still watch the children at all times.

Do I need to provide electricity?

Yes. The blower needs a continuous power supply for as long as the castle is up.

What are the safety rules for bouncing castles and play equipment?

Children must have appropriate adult supervision at all times — this is the one rule we will not flex on, and parents, guardians and organisers remain responsible for it throughout the event. Beyond that: follow the manufacturer’s age, capacity and safety instructions; keep food, drinks, sharp objects and shoes off the equipment where prohibited; do not move equipment after it has been installed; do not overcrowd it; keep older and younger children separated where you can, because collisions between different sizes cause most of the injuries we see; and adults should not use children’s equipment unless it is specifically rated for adult use.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Our canvas is heavy-duty and waterproof, and an ordinary Nairobi downpour is not a problem. What we will not pretend is that a tent is a guarantee against flooding, severe wind, storms or genuinely hazardous conditions. Where conditions become unsafe we may delay installation, change how we install, recommend an alternative location, suspend use of equipment or remove it. Safety decisions take priority over aesthetics and over the planned layout — that is not us being difficult, it is the one call we will always make the same way. Where weather prevents performance we work through the options with you first: delayed performance, alternative setup, substitution or rescheduling.
