Thinking about a water slide for your next party but not sure how it works? Good news: it's genuinely easy, there's no online payment, and we handle all the heavy lifting. Here's the entire process in three simple steps.

Step 1 — Pick your slide

Browse our water slide rentals and choose the one that fits your party and your space. Not sure about size? Our how much space you need guide takes two minutes, and every listing shows the dimensions, age range and capacity. From tropical slides like the Tropical Paradise 18 to the Fire Dragon 18, the Great White Shark 18 and combos like the Castle Splash Combo, there's something for every theme.

Step 2 — Get a free quote

Tell us your date, your venue and the slide you want, and we'll send a free, no-obligation quote — with delivery, setup and insurance already included in one clear price. There's no online payment; a real person confirms every detail with you directly. Just request your quote. Rentals start at $199/day.

Step 3 — We deliver, set up & pick up

On the day of your event, our trained crew delivers the slide, sets it up, anchors it safely and sanitizes it before you use it — then comes back to pick it up when the fun's done. Every rental is fully insured. All you do is hand out the towels.

A few common questions

  • How early should I book? Summer weekends and holidays fill up fast — aim for 2–4 weeks ahead. See when to book.
  • What does it cost? From $199/day, with delivery, setup and insurance included. Here's the full pricing guide.
  • What if it rains? We've got you covered — here's how our weather policy works.
