Jumping castle hire prices
Medium jumping castles (most popular)
A standard medium jumping castle — Frozen, Batman, Princess, Unicorn, Minions — starts at $225 for a 4-hour hire. These suit kids aged 3–12, hold up to 8 children, and measure roughly 4m x 4m x 4m.
For all-weekend hire (Friday afternoon to Monday morning), you’re looking at $350. If you need it for two days straight, the all-weekend rate is almost always the better value.
Large combo castles
Combo castles are the bigger ones — they have a built-in slide, climbing wall, and bounce area all in one unit. Think pirate ships, princess castles, giant dinosaurs.
These start at $295 for 4 hours for a mid-size combo, and go up to $495 for the largest castle-with-slide combos. They fit up to 30 kids and are the go-to choice for bigger birthday parties and school fetes.
Adult and themed specialty castles
Adult castles (disco domes, boxing rings, nightclub-style marquee inflatables) run $495–$695 for a 4-hour hire. These are aimed at adults and teens — disco lights built in, suitable for 18th and 21st birthday parties, corporate events and end-of-year parties.
Water slide hire prices Brisbane
Water slide hire is highly seasonal in Brisbane — demand spikes from October through March when temperatures regularly hit 30°C+.
| Water slide type | 4-hour rate |
|---|---|
| Compact backyard slip-n-slide | $295 |
| Dual-lane inflatable water slide (mid-size) | $395–$495 |
| Giant 9m water slide | $595 |
All connect to a standard garden hose. You need a flat grassed area — most mid-size slides need around 12m x 6m of space.
Summer booking tip: December and January water slide dates book out 4–6 weeks in advance. If you’re planning a summer birthday or Christmas party hire, lock it in early.
Obstacle course hire prices Brisbane
Inflatable obstacle course hire in Brisbane ranges from a 15m junior course right up to a 40m military-style bootcamp.
| Course size | Price |
|---|---|
| 15m junior obstacle course | $495 |
| 20–25m mid-size course | $595 |
| 30m+ full-size course | $695 |
| 40m Camouflage Bootcamp | $795 |
Obstacle courses are the standout hire for school sports days, corporate team building, and large community fetes. The 40m Camouflage Bootcamp is the most-booked corporate hire we do — it works for 50–300 people across the day.
Fun food machine hire prices Brisbane
Fun food machines are some of the best value-for-money hire items available — and one of the least-competitive categories in Brisbane, which means you’ll rank well if you search for them.
| Machine | 4-hour hire (incl. 100 servings) |
|---|---|
| Slushie machine | $200 |
| Fairy floss machine | $195 |
| Popcorn machine | $195 |
| Snow cone machine | $195 |
| Hot dog steamer | $195 |
Each machine is self-serve and fully operational — just plug in and go. The 100 servings included is enough for 80–120 guests depending on how generous the pours are.
Want more servings? You can upgrade to 200 or 300 servings. Extra slushie packs, popcorn, and fairy floss supplies are available as add-ons.
Delivery fees by area
Delivery is charged on top of equipment hire. It covers transport to your location, setup, and pickup at the end of hire.
| Service area | Delivery from |

| Inner Brisbane (within 10km CBD) | $95 |

How to save money on Brisbane jumping castle hire
1. Book mid-week
Saturday and Sunday are peak days. Mid-week hire (Tuesday–Thursday) is often 10–15% cheaper for the same equipment.
2. Book the all-weekend rate
If you’re deciding between a 4-hour hire on Saturday and an all-weekend hire, the price difference is usually $100–$150. For the extra cost you get 2.5 days of use — Friday afternoon through Monday morning.
3. Bundle items
Hiring three or more items together unlocks bundle savings. Our Birthday Bundle (castle + slushie machine + popcorn machine) saves around $50 versus booking separately. The Big Birthday Blowout package (combo castle + two fun food machines + photo pod) saves around $200.
4. Book early
Especially true October–March (summer). Popular items like the Frozen Castle and dual-lane water slides sell out weeks in advance. Booking early also locks in the current price — we review pricing periodically.
5. Check our package deals
The birthday party packages are pre-priced and pre-curated — no need to figure out what works together. We’ve done thousands of Brisbane birthday parties; these packages reflect what actually gets booked together most often.
What does jumping castle hire cost compared to other party activities?
For context, here’s how jumping castle hire compares to other common kids’ party options:
| Option | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Jumping castle hire (4hrs) | $225–$295 |
| Party entertainer / clown | $250–$400 |
| Soft play centre hire | $500–$1,500 |
| Inflatable play centre (private hire) | $800–$2,500 |
| Kids’ party at a venue | $500–$2,000+ |
A medium jumping castle for 4 hours at $225 works out to roughly $28 per child if you have 8 kids — cheaper than most venue-based parties and far more flexible.
