School event rentals in Tampa Bay — field days, church carnivals, VBS, concessions, obstacle courses, bounce houses & dunk tanks. $2M insured.
Grade A Rentals of Tampa serves Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, and Pasco County schools and churches with a 15% community discount on qualifying rentals after eligibility is verified. The discount is not automatic unless it is shown on the order. We carry $2 million commercial liability insurance, provide Certificates of Insurance on request to district risk offices, and are already on the approved vendor lists for City of Tampa Parks, Hillsborough County Parks, and Pinellas County Parks.
Tampa-area elementary and middle schools run most field days in late April through mid-May. The setups that work best for Hillsborough County schools: one dual-lane 60-ft Adrenaline Rush obstacle course as the centerpiece (two kids race side by side), a toddler obstacle course or junior bounce house for K-2 students, a standard bounce house for grades 3-5, a dunk tank (the principal or P.E. teacher goes in — this alone justifies the event in most schools), and a snow cone, cotton candy, or hot dog steamer for the fundraising table. We've run this exact setup at schools in New Tampa, Carrollwood, Temple Terrace, Brandon, Riverview, Wesley Chapel, Land O' Lakes, and Zephyrhills. Everything arrives on one truck during your Friday morning setup window and gets picked up at dismissal.
For high school field day, prom after-party, and graduation celebration setups, the dual-lane Adrenaline Rush obstacle course, a combo bouncer, yard games, and a cotton candy or snow cone machine are the most-requested combination.
VBS runs Monday through Friday for most Tampa Bay churches — multi-day rates apply at 75% of the base price per additional day, so a bounce house that's $200 on day 1 runs $150 on days 2-5. VBS setups at fellowship halls typically include a standard bounce house (fits 10-12 kids at a time for rotating stations) plus a snow cone or hot dog steamer for the afternoon break. We deliver Monday morning and pick up Friday afternoon so you don't coordinate multiple drops. Toddler-friendly units (lower ceilings, softer floors) are available for churches running separate morning and evening sessions for different age groups.
Tampa Bay churches run fall carnivals (usually late October) and spring family festivals (April-May) as their biggest single-day outdoor events. Most common carnival setup: combo bouncer + dual-lane obstacle course + dunk tank + 2-3 concession machines (cotton candy, popcorn, and hot dog steamer) + yard games + 10-15 tables + 80-100 chairs. We bring everything on one truck, the crew handles setup from 7 to 9 AM before the carnival opens, and we run pickup after closing. COI goes directly to your facilities manager by email, listing your church as additional insured.
We serve churches across Tampa Bay including Carrollwood, Westchase, New Tampa, Wesley Chapel (Wiregrass Ranch area), Brandon, Riverview, FishHawk, and South Hillsborough. Larger churches in the Plant City and Zephyrhills corridor also fall within our standard delivery zone.
Grade A carries $2 million in commercial general liability insurance. When a venue requires insurance documentation, a Certificate of Insurance is available on request. We are already approved vendors for City of Tampa Parks, Hillsborough County Parks, and Pinellas County Parks. For school district risk offices that require specific COI language, confirm the facility's current requirements before booking. A Certificate of Insurance is available on request. Current payment requirements are shown during online checkout.
Verified schools, churches, and daycares receive 15% off qualifying rentals after eligibility is confirmed. The discount is not automatic unless it appears on the order. Eligibility must be verified, and the 15% community discount only applies when it is shown on the order before payment.

How much does a school field day inflatable rental cost in Tampa? Current eligible pricing is shown online after the verified 15% community discount is applied to qualifying rentals. A full field-day setup for 300-500 students typically runs $700-$1,200 after the discount, depending on which units you choose. Tables and chairs for the teacher area are extra.
Can I rent a bounce house for Vacation Bible School? Yes. Multi-day VBS rates apply at 75% of the base price per additional day. A Monday-Friday VBS setup at your church fellowship hall — bounce house for morning stations, snow cone machine for afternoon break — runs about 3.5x the single-day rate instead of 5x.
Do you provide insurance documentation for school events in Tampa? Yes. When a school or venue requires insurance documentation, a Certificate of Insurance is available on request. We're familiar with Hillsborough County Schools COI requirements specifically. For PTSA-run events, confirm the facility's current insurance requirements before booking.
What is a good bounce house setup for a church carnival in Tampa? For a 200-400 person church carnival: combo bouncer + dual-lane obstacle course + dunk tank + cotton candy machine + popcorn machine + ring toss or giant Jenga. For 400+ attendees, add a second inflatable (water slide in spring/fall, extra bounce house in cooler months) and another concession machine. All arrives on one truck; full setup by our crew takes 90-120 minutes for a full carnival configuration.
