How Much Does It Cost To Rent A Bouncy Castle?

One of the most common questions we get is, "What’s the average cost to rent a bounce house?"

The price of a bouncy castle rental relies on features like size, duration, and more like slides or obstacle courses. In London, Ontario, and surrounding areas, you can expect to pay around:
💰 $150 - $250 for a standard backyard bouncy castle
💰 $300 - $600 for larger inflatables with slides or obstacle courses
💰 $500+ for premium models and add-ons like Staff, Artists and more!


At Ribbit Rentals, we offer affordable, high-quality inflatables that fit every budget. Check out our options here!
Are Bouncy Castles Safe?
Absolutely! When rented from a reputable company like Ribbit Rentals, bouncy castles are designed with safety in mind. Here’s how we ensure a worry-free experience:

TSSA-Licensed

Supervised Setup

Wide-Range Customers

To keep kids safe, always follow weight limits, avoid overcrowding, and make sure kids remove shoes and sharp objects before bouncing.

Do You Need Insurance for a Bouncy Castle?

For personal backyard parties, you typically don’t need insurance, but it’s always a good idea to check with your homeowner’s policy.

For public events, fundraisers, or corporate gatherings, insurance may be required. The good news? Ribbit Rentals provides TSSA-licensed inflatables, meaning they meet all legal and safety requirements for public use. If needed, we can help with event insurance recommendations.
