Dunk tank rentals in Tampa start at $225 and include delivery, setup, water fill, and pickup. The per-mile delivery fee for locations outside our 25-mile core zone is shown live before checkout. No fuel surcharge, no hidden fees — the price on the booking calendar is the final price. Most dunk tank events in Tampa run $225–$350 depending on distance from our warehouse.
The teacher-in-the-tank format is still the highest-grossing carnival booth we see at Tampa Bay schools. Hillsborough County elementary and middle schools run it every spring field day season — the principal, the PE coach, or the most popular fifth grade teacher volunteers, and kids line up for a dollar a throw. We deliver in the morning, fill the tank, and pick up at the end of the day. Certificate of Insurance goes out by email the morning of delivery if your school's front office needs one for the permit application.
Pasco County schools in Wesley Chapel, Land O' Lakes, Zephyrhills, and Dade City run the same format for spring carnival week. Call 813-291-3953 before booking a school venue and we'll tell you exactly what documentation your PTA coordinator needs.
Church fall festivals are our second biggest dunk tank season. Most Tampa Bay churches book a dunk tank alongside a bounce house, snow cone machine, and a game package — the pastor-in-the-tank is a fixture that loosens up the crowd and keeps kids engaged through the whole event. We set up early morning for multi-vendor festivals and keep the same-day pickup schedule so your parking lot is clear by sundown.
The dunk tank needs a flat area roughly 8×10 feet for the tank plus a 10–12 foot throwing lane in front of the target. Grass, concrete, and paver surfaces all work. Water access: one outdoor hose bib within 50 feet. No electrical power needed for the dunk tank itself — outlets are only required if you're also renting inflatables or concession machines on the same order.
Seat participant: ages 7 and up, 250 lbs max. Thrower: any age. The target is adjustable — we loosen it for events with younger kids throwing and tighten it for adult corporate events where the throwing arm is stronger. Either way, the moment someone actually dunks the target is the loudest moment at any event we deliver to.

Do you fill the dunk tank with water? Yes — we fill the tank on-site using your outdoor hose bib. The 500-gallon tank takes about 20–25 minutes to fill. If you don't have water access at your venue, let us know when booking.

Can a dunk tank be used at a Tampa park or school? Yes — we're an approved Hillsborough County and Pasco County parks vendor. Call 813-291-3953 before booking a public venue so we can get you the Certificate of Insurance your park permit application requires.
