Giant pumpkin bounce house • All ages • Backyard parties, trunk-or-treats & school events
Not a bounce house with pumpkins printed on it. An actual giant pumpkin. 🎃
Almost every Halloween bounce house in Cincinnati is a square unit with Halloween artwork on the side panels. This one is shaped like a pumpkin — twenty feet of round orange gourd with carved black eyes, a grinning mouth, a green stem on top and a green vine base. Kids bounce inside it.
That shape is the entire point. A square bounce house is something people walk past. A two-story jack-o'-lantern is something people photograph — and those photos are what end up on the church Facebook page, in the school newsletter, and in the group text that gets more families to next year's event.
⏱ How long do you want it?
Base covers up to 6 hours. Most people book more, and the reason is almost never "we wanted a longer party."
Standard rental. Fine for a two or three hour party with setup and teardown time around it.
Buys margin on both ends. For $30 you stop doing math about whether the delivery window overlaps the start of your party.
We set up the day before and collect the next morning. Your party day starts with a giant pumpkin already standing in the yard instead of a truck in the driveway — and at the end of the night nobody's waiting around for pickup. Sixty dollars. It's the upgrade people thank us for.
Friday before 2pm through Sunday after 2pm, or Saturday before 12pm through Monday after 12pm. A whole weekend for $150 more than a single afternoon. Churches with a Friday trunk-or-treat and a Sunday event book this constantly — and so do families who'd rather the kids have it all weekend.
Pick your length when you choose your date. Lock it in with 25% down — balance due before delivery. October weekends fill first and this is one of our most requested Halloween units. Get the date; you can adjust the length later.
🏆 Why this one instead of a printed bounce house
It's the photo
Round, orange, eighteen feet tall, with a face. Parents take pictures of their kids in front of it whether you ask them to or not, and every one of those pictures has your event in it.
Everybody can use it
No height requirement, no climb, no slide to line up for. Three-year-olds and eight-year-olds bounce in the same space. It's one of the few units where you don't have to think about who's allowed on.
It fits a real yard
A 22-foot square pad. That's a normal backyard, a driveway, or a corner of a church lot — not a school field. Big visual impact without a big footprint.
Scare level
Friendly — it's a smiling pumpkin
A grinning jack-o'-lantern face and nothing else. No monsters, no fog, no strobes, no sounds, nothing that jumps out. This is about as gentle as Halloween gets — it's the unit we send to preschool parties and church events where somebody's worried about the two-year-olds. Want more edge for older kids? Look at the Graveyard Gauntlet or the Zombie Apocalypse Combo.

Setup time
Handled by our crew
⚠️ Look up before you pick a spot. At 20 feet of setup height this is taller than most bounce houses — roughly a two-story house. Low tree branches, power lines, gutters and roof overhangs are the things that force us to relocate on delivery day. Walk out to where you want it and look straight up. If there's anything over that spot, pick another one or send us a photo and we'll advise.
Floor space is easy. A 22-foot square is a normal backyard, a two-car driveway, or a corner of a parking lot. Just make sure the ground is reasonably flat and we can get a hand truck to it.
✅ What we need from you
- A flat 22' × 22' area
- 20 feet of overhead clearance — no branches or wires
- One outlet within 100 feet of the setup spot
- A clear path wide enough for a hand truck
- Area free of debris, sticks and animal waste
📦 What we bring
- Professional installation by our trained crew
- Blower, 100' extension cord and proper anchoring
- Tarp underneath when needed
- Full takedown and haul-away when you're done
☔ Zero-Risk Weather Policy
Bad forecast? Reschedule or cancel for a full refund as long as you tell us by the night before. Once we install and your event starts there are no refunds — so we'll help you make the right call before install day. October in Ohio is unpredictable and you shouldn't have to gamble on it.
🕒 Delivery window
We contact you 24–48 hours ahead. The free Anytime option is a 24-hour window and you don't need to be home if you tell us exactly where it goes. Want it tighter? 2–4 hours is +$35, 60 minutes is +$75.
🎪 What to add alongside it
A single bounce house at an event with more than about thirty kids means a line. These are the three things that fix that, in the order we'd add them.
For the toddlers
Haunted Hideout
Ages 2–8. Gives the littlest kids their own space so they're not getting bounced around by eight-year-olds — and gives their parents somewhere to stand and relax.

Line buster
Pumpkin Smash Whack-A-Mole
Two players, rounds over in seconds, tiny footprint. Park it beside the pumpkin and the kids waiting for a turn have something to do instead of standing there.

Second bounce zone
Haunted House
A haunted castle bounce house with a compact footprint. Two bounce zones instead of one splits the crowd and roughly halves the wait — the single biggest thing you can do for how an event feels.

All three together? That's a package — and it's cheaper
The Trunk-or-Treat package is this pumpkin plus the Haunted House and the Haunted Hideout for $900 instead of $1,000 booked separately. Two bounce zones and a toddler playland — the setup we deliver more than any other in October. One date, one delivery, one crew, one invoice.
See The Trunk-or-Treat package →❓ Common questions
Will it fit in my backyard?
Almost certainly, as long as you've got a flat 22' × 22' area — that's a normal backyard or a two-car driveway. The thing that actually catches people is height, not floor space: it needs 20 feet of clearance, so check for tree branches, power lines and roof overhangs above your spot. Send us a photo if you're not sure.
Is it scary for little kids?
Not remotely. It's a smiling pumpkin. No monsters, no fog, no sounds, no strobes, nothing that jumps out. We rate it Friendly — the gentlest level on our scare scale. It's what we recommend for preschool parties and church events with a lot of toddlers.
How many kids can bounce at once?
It's a 20-foot round floor, so it holds a good group — but at an event with more than about thirty kids you'll want a second attraction so the line doesn't stack up. Our crew will tell you what they've seen work for your headcount, or call us before you book.
Can adults go in it?
Yes — it's rated all ages. Grown-ups climbing in for a photo is one of the more reliable things that happens at a party with this unit.
Does it need water?
No, this one runs completely dry. No hose, no wet kids, no soggy yard — which is what you want in October.
Can I rent it outside of Halloween season?
Yes, it's available year-round. Most bookings are September through early November, and October weekends go first — but if you want a giant pumpkin in June, we'll bring you a giant pumpkin in June.
What if it rains?
Our Zero-Risk Weather Policy lets you reschedule or cancel for a full refund as long as you let us know by the night before. Once we set up and your event starts there are no refunds, so we'll help you make the call before install day.
Do you provide a certificate of insurance?
Yes, free of charge. Most schools and churches require one — tell us who to name and we'll send it over. We're fully insured and state licensed.
Do you set it up and take it down?
Yes. Our crew handles installation, anchoring and full takedown. You don't lift anything — just show us where it goes.
