What the bouncy castle birthday package brings
The Play Party is the kids birthday party setup built around running about. A bouncing castle or a trampoline arrives with a kids minder, and around it we set a tent dressed to the theme, kids Chiavari chairs, one for every child, and dressed tables. Each guest gets themed plates, cups, napkins, a party hat and a mask, a water bottle with a themed label and a gift box of goodies to carry home. A single-board balloon backdrop and a decorated cake table finish the corner where the candles get blown out. You choose the theme and the number of kids; the rest comes on the truck.
Castle or trampoline?
Pick the one that fits your children and your lawn. A castle takes a small group at once, which keeps a crowd of guests busy. A trampoline is a one-at-a-time toy: University Hospitals in Cleveland advise one jumper only, because most trampoline injuries happen when two or more share it, and usually to the smallest. With older cousins and toddlers at the same party, the castle is the easier one to share, and it is the kids party hire most guests remember. Our bouncing castles page shows the bigger castles too.
What it costs, and the size worth knowing about
Ten kids is KSh 22,000. Twenty is KSh 34,000, and that size brings two extras the smaller ones do not: Mr Clown running party games, and face painting. Hired on their own they cost KSh 6,000 and KSh 6,000. So if your list is sixteen or seventeen, price the twenty-kid size before you add a clown separately. From twenty-five kids balloon art joins in; thirty-five is KSh 45,500. Transport is a separate line, and a 50% deposit holds the date.
Picking a theme
Superheroes, pups and rescue, safari, princesses, a snow princess, Mickey and Minnie: those six are the ones parents pick most, and each one sets the colours of the tent, the party ware, the bottle labels and the backdrop. Is the birthday child into something else? Dinosaurs, football, a favourite cartoon? Type it in when you book and it goes onto your quote with the package. Name the characters, the colours and the birthday number; the more you tell us, the closer the table gets to what they are hoping for.
A cheap kids party that still feels like a party
Most of what makes a kids party expensive is the venue and the food. A Play Party happens on your own lawn, so there is no hall to pay for. Snacks, juice and the cake are yours, which keeps the spend where you can see it. If you want something sweet on the side, popcorn or candy floss can be added to the quote.
On the day
We arrive well before the guests. The castle gets pegged down and its blower switched on, which is why we ask for flat ground and a plug point close by. Tell us where the nearest socket is when you book. The minder watches the equipment. A parent watches the children. Daylight is the best time for play, roughly 10am to 6pm, and the hire runs 24 hours, so an early set-up eats nothing. Then, once the last guest has gone home with a gift box, we take it all down. Want white Chiavari chairs, a double backdrop and a host at every size? That is the Styled Party, and both sit side by side on the kids party packages page.

Standard questions
How much is a bouncing castle birthday party in Nairobi?
The Play Party for ten children is KSh 22,000, for twenty KSh 34,000 and for thirty-five KSh 45,500. That covers the castle or trampoline with a minder, the themed tent, kids chairs and tables, and a gift box for each child; transport is added by distance. Compare it with the themed option on kids party packages.
Can I hire just the bouncy castle, and how much is it?
Yes. Hired on its own, a small 4.5 m castle is KSh 6,500 and the large bouncing castle is from KSh 25,000. Those prices are for the castle alone; the package adds the minder, the tent, the seating and the gift boxes. Every size is on bouncing castles for hire.
How many children can go on a bouncy castle at once?
As many as that castle’s maker allows, and no more: overcrowding is how children get hurt. The minder keeps the number within the limit and lets older and younger children take turns apart. Our hire terms set out the play rules.
What age is a bouncy castle for?
Children, within the ages its maker gives, and adults stay off unless a castle is rated for them. Toddlers do best on their own turn rather than with older children jumping. Ask us about the castle you are looking at; the full range is on bouncing castles for hire.
How much space do you need for a bouncy castle?
More than the castle itself, with clear ground around it. The small castle is 4.5 by 4.5 metres, and each castle’s page gives its own size. Measure the flat ground you have, and the narrowest gate on the way in, and send us both.
Does a bouncy castle need electricity?
Yes. A blower keeps it full of air the whole time children are on it, so it needs a socket near the spot. Power at the venue is the host’s part, as our terms explain; tell us where the nearest socket is when you book.
Can a bouncy castle fly away?
Wind is the real risk with any inflatable. The UK Health and Safety Executive puts 38 km/h as the most one should face outdoors, lower where the maker says so. In strong wind our crew may stop the castle until it is safe; our questions page covers weather on the day.
Can you use a bouncy castle in the rain?
Not in heavy rain, when the crew may pause it until it is safe again. A shower does not end the party, though, because the Play Party brings a themed tent for the guests, the gifts and the cake. For a whole afternoon under cover, see tents for hire.
Can a bouncy castle go on concrete or gravel?
Flat, even ground matters more than what it is made of, and a slope is the one to avoid. Tell us when you book whether the spot is grass, paving, gravel or artificial turf, so we can confirm it before the day. Every castle is listed on bouncing castles for hire.
Can a bouncy castle be used indoors?
Only where the room clears it with space to spare. Send us the length, the width and the ceiling height; the small castle is the likeliest fit for a hall at 4.5 by 4.5 metres.
How many children can be on a trampoline at once?
One. A hospital safety guide from University Hospitals notes that most trampoline injuries happen with two or more jumping, usually to the smallest child. So plan turns. The trampoline can replace the castle in the Play Party.
Does the Play Party come with a bouncing castle or a trampoline?
Either one, your choice, and a kids minder comes with it. An adult from your family still watches the children. The large bouncing castle and the trampoline have their own pages if you want to see them first.
Is a clown included in the Play Party?
From twenty children, yes: Mr Clown with party games, plus face painting. From twenty-five, balloon art is added too. Smaller sizes can add him from the hire list.
How long do we keep the castle?
The hire runs for 24 hours, so nothing is packed away mid-party. Active play is best kept between 10am and 6pm while it is light. The Styled Party keeps the same hire period with a host for the games.
