Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Bouncy Lions rentals — booking, delivery, safety, and pricing.
Booking & Availability
How do I book a bounce house or water slide rental?
Book online in 60 seconds using our booking system, or call/text us at (214) 247-6110. We respond to all inquiries within 2 hours.
How far in advance should I book?
Busy seasons (spring/summer weekends) fill 2–4 weeks out. For Memorial Day, July 4th, and school-out weekends, book 3–4 weeks early. We occasionally have last-minute availability — call to check.
Can I book same-day?
Yes, if we have equipment available. Call immediately at (214) 247-6110 to check.
What's the rental period?
Standard rentals are up to 8 hours — 2–4 hours longer than most DFW competitors. All 8 hours are yours at the listed price.
The Free Water Upgrade
How does the free water upgrade work?
Through May 31, the Water Add-on is set to $0 in our booking system. Just select it when booking any slide. No code, no hassle — the water feature is included automatically.
What does the water feature include?
A built-in drip hose runs from the top of the slide to keep the surface wet, plus a shallow catch pool at the bottom. You connect a standard garden hose to the inlet — the rest handles itself.
Do I need to provide water?
Yes — a standard garden hose connection at your home or venue is all we need. The slide handles the rest.
Delivery & Setup
What areas do you deliver to?
We deliver to Prosper, Frisco, Celina, McKinney, Little Elm, Allen, Aubrey, and Plano. Delivery is free within 10 miles of Prosper (covers most of Frisco and Celina), $25 within 25 miles, and $50 within 75 miles. Setup and teardown are always included regardless of distance. Outside 75 miles? Call us — we'll often still deliver with a small additional travel fee.
What does setup include?
We deliver, inflate, anchor (stakes for grass, sandbags for hard surfaces), run a safety check, and have everything party-ready 1–2 hours before your start time. At the end of your rental window we come back and take everything down.
What surface can you set up on?
Grass is ideal. Concrete and asphalt work with sandbag anchoring. We need the ground to be reasonably flat and clear of debris. Pools, steep slopes, or rough terrain — call us to assess.
What space do I need for a 20-foot water slide?
Our slides require approximately 20′W × 30′L × 20′H of clear space. The exact spec is on each product page. When in doubt, call us — we help measure before you book.
How long does setup take?
Typically 30–45 minutes. We arrive 1–2 hours before your party starts to allow time for setup and a safety check.
Payment & Cancellation
What payment methods do you accept?
Credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), ACH, and cash. Payment is handled through our secure Booqable booking system.
What's your cancellation policy?
7+ days before: full refund minus $25 processing fee. 3–6 days before: 50% refund. Less than 72 hours: deposit is forfeited. We are flexible for weather cancellations — see the weather question below.
What if it rains on my party date?
If it's actively storming or lightning is forecasted, we'll reschedule for free within 30 days — no penalty, no deposit lost. Minor drizzle doesn't cancel. We monitor radar and contact you 24 hours out if conditions look severe.
What about wind?
We pause operation if sustained winds exceed 15 mph for safety. Once wind drops below 15 mph we resume. Gusty days are monitored in real time.
Safety & Insurance
Are your inflatables safe and inspected?
All equipment are built to industry safety standards. Every unit is sanitized with commercial-grade disinfectant, visually inspected, and inspected before each rental.
Are you insured?
Yes. Bouncy Lions carries full liability insurance on every booking. Insurance certificates are available on request for school or HOA events that require them.
Do you provide supervision during the rental?
We handle setup and teardown, but you (or another responsible adult) supervise children during the rental. We're on-call at (214) 247-6110 for the full duration of your rental.
What are the weight and age limits?
Our 20-foot slides are rated for ages 4–13. The Classic Bouncer is for ages 3–8. The Combo Bouncer handles ages 3–12. Weight limits are printed on each unit — the slides handle 250–300 lbs per rider.
Products & Pricing
How much does a water slide rental cost?
All four 20-foot water slides are $299 for up to 8 hours. The water upgrade is free through May 31. Free delivery and setup are included.
What's the difference between the four slides?
All four are 20 feet tall with a water drip hose and catch pool. The difference is theme and color: Tidal Wave (blue/red, classic), Palm Tree (tropical green), Building Block (Lego-inspired primary colors, best for ages 4–10), and Tropic (wide dual-lane racing slide).
Can I rent multiple items?
Yes — call us at (214) 247-6110 to discuss multi-unit rentals or to combine a water slide with a bouncer for a multi-age party.
