Buckhead Bounce, Atlanta

Mothers often chide youngsters for hopping onto flower beds, but Buckhead Bounce encourages it with its 3-D flowerpot bouncer. It’s one of the company’s several playfully themed inflatable rentals, which include a fire truck, a castle combo with a jumping area and slide, and a jousting arena replete with headgear and jousting poles. Professional setup and breakdown bookends each four-hour inflatable rental, during which sirens alert attendants of any loss of power so they can safely clear children from the inflatable before it deflates.

Along with bounce houses, Buckhead Bounce enlivens parties by turning backyards into drive-ins with inflatable movie screens, professional projectors, 450-watt speakers, and Blu-ray players. Guests enjoy their flick of choice while lounging on rental chairs and snacking on a rental hot-dog steamer’s franks, a rental popcorn maker’s kernels, or invisible stew a rental mime keeps trying to prepare.
