Half the guest list is already arguing about the cake. The bouncing part is sorted.
We're a family business based in Crown Point, and we cross into Porter County for Valparaiso parties every season. We drop the bounce house off clean, set it up, stake it down, and come back for it. Your only job is the cake.
Free to browse. Nothing is reserved until you pick a date. We answer texts.
Date first, everything else after
Summer Saturdays book out first, and Valpo has two weekends that swallow everything — the Fourth of July and Popcorn Festival in September. Set your date and the grid below only shows what's actually free that day.
A deposit holds your date. Balance is due at setup.
Not sure what to book?
Two taps. No email, no phone number, no catch.
Step 1 — Who's doing the jumping?
Step 2 — Where are we setting up?
Toddlers and preschoolers
Under about 6, a slide mostly creates a queue and a climb. An open jump area keeps everyone bouncing at once. Most standard bounce houses are built for around 5 to 6 kids of similar size at a time.
Grassy backyard: we anchor with stakes, so mark any sprinkler heads or underground lines before we arrive. Mow no later than the day before, and clear pet waste and toys from the setup area.
Driveway or concrete: doable in a lot of cases, but it changes how we anchor. Tell us at booking that there's no grass so we bring the right setup.
Park, school, or church lot: tell us which one when you book. Worth knowing before you pick a park: Valpo Parks takes payment in full when you book and its rentals are non-refundable, rain or shine. Check whether your shelter has an outlet too — we need one standard socket within 50 feet, otherwise it's a generator.
School-age kids
Seven-and-up burns out on a plain bounce in about twenty minutes. A slide or a themed unit holds them for the whole party. Both of these work for this age.

Driveway or concrete: doable in a lot of cases, but it changes how we anchor. Tell us at booking that there's no grass, and remember slide units need a bit more clearance — measure first.

Mixed ages and big numbers
With a wide age range, one inflatable turns into a bottleneck and the little ones get bounced around by the big ones. A large combo plus a game splits the crowd and keeps the teenagers and adults busy too.
Grassy backyard: we anchor with stakes, so mark any sprinkler heads or underground lines before we arrive. Two units need two setup areas — measure both before you book.
Driveway or concrete: doable in a lot of cases, but it changes how we anchor. Tell us at booking that there's no grass, and keep in mind two units need two clear areas.
Park, school, or church lot: tell us which one when you book. Two inflatables usually means two outlets or a generator, and at Rogers Lakewood your guests also pay a gate fee unless you buy the $50 guest code with your shelter.

Before delivery day
Seven things to have sorted before our trailer pulls into your Valparaiso driveway. Get these right and setup takes minutes.
0 of 7 done
Make sure it fitsCheck the space listed on the product page against your yard. We can't be responsible for a unit that doesn't fit once we arrive.
Mow in advanceFresh clippings stick to vinyl and end up inside the bounce house with the kids.
Check the yard for pet messWe ask for this every time, and every time somebody is glad we did.
Sort your power supplyOne standard household outlet runs most bounce houses, and the blower stays running the whole time it's in use.
Mark what's undergroundInflatables get staked into the ground. If we don't know where the lines are, we can't avoid them.
Clear our route inGates unlocked, toys and patio furniture moved, low branches noted. Rolled-up inflatables are heavy and wide.
Have the balance readyCash or check, handed over at setup. That's the last thing on the list.
The whole process
Four steps, and only one of them is yours.
1

Enter your event date and delivery address. The catalog filters down to what's genuinely free.
2
Pick what you want
Let the birthday kid choose from the photos. Check the delivery fee to your address before you pay.

We deliver and install
We bring it clean, position it, stake it down, and show you how the blower works. Balance is due here.

We pick it back up
Teardown is ours. You don't fold anything, load anything, or drive anywhere.
The parties we cover in Valparaiso
Backyards out toward Aberdeen, school field days, church festivals, and the odd graduation party that ran long. If it's happening in Valpo, there's a good chance we've delivered to it.
Birthday parties
The bread and butter. Backyard, driveway, or grandma's place over in South Haven.
School field days
Valparaiso Community Schools book these early in spring. Ask us about multiple units.
Church and community days
Long run times and big crowds. Tell us the headcount and we'll size it right.
Street parties
Block parties and subdivision events from downtown out along Vale Park Road.
Graduation parties
May and June go fast. Book before the announcements go out, not after.
Youth and fundraising events
We've worked with a lot of them. Call and let's talk through your setup.
Across the county line into Valpo
Valparaiso is the one Porter County town on our regular list. It's a longer run than our Lake County stops, so we plan Valpo drops early in the day.
Parts of Valpo we deliver to
Because Valpo is further out, put your address in early — the delivery fee comes back instantly and there's no surprise at checkout.

Out past the city toward Malden or Wheeler? Text us the address and we'll tell you straight away whether we can reach you.
Valparaiso's parks are run by Valpo Parks, and they work differently from the Lake County towns. Shelter reservations are paid in full at booking and are non-refundable, rain or shine — so read the site's own rules before you commit, and mention the inflatable when you reserve.
The big one — 122 acres around Loomis and Spectacle Lakes, with four shelters to choose from including the large open-sided Discovery Shelter at the north end and Hickory Grove over by the boat ramp. The thing to plan for is the gate: Rogers Lakewood charges a daily entrance fee, so either every guest pays on the way in or you add the $50 guest gate code to your shelter booking. Worth the maths if you're expecting a crowd.
Forest ParkTwo rentable shelters · 10 acres
A neighbourhood park with the Rotary Shelter at the west end near the playground and the Beta Shelter over east by a two-acre green, with Ogden Gardens a short walk further on. Simpler than Rogers Lakewood and no gate fee to explain to your guests. Restrooms here are seasonal, so check before a party early or late in the year.
Central Park PlazaDowntown · three bookable spaces
Right in the middle of town with several rentable spaces, which makes it a popular choice for community and church events rather than back-garden birthdays. It's a hard-surface downtown setting, so tell us at booking that there's no grass — it changes how we anchor the unit.
The in-town sheltersEleven smaller shelters across the city
Beyond the headline parks, Valpo Parks lists around a dozen smaller in-town shelters, plus gazebos and the Butterfield Family Pavilion. These are usually the cheapest and quietest option for a straightforward birthday. Ask the office which ones have a working outlet — most don't, and that decides whether you need a generator.
Bookings go through Valpo Parks — (219) 462-5144. Tell us which shelter you've reserved and we'll sort the rest around it.
Who you're actually renting from
Who Bouncy B's actually is
Nine years ago we rented a bounce house for a Fourth of July party. The communication was poor and the service was worse. So we bought our own inflatable, then bought a small local rental company that was closing — a trailer, a phone number, and a handful of units.
That's Bouncy B's. The name comes from our three kids: Brayden, Bryce and Briella — they're the ones in the logo. Ray, Meghan and the kids are still the people answering the phone and pulling into your driveway.
How much does it cost to rent a bounce house in Valparaiso?
Standard bounce houses start at $160. Combo units with a slide run from $247.20 up to $360.50 depending on size. Delivery is quoted separately against your Valparaiso address at checkout, so you see it before you pay anything — and because Valpo is further out than our Lake County towns, it's worth checking that figure early.
When do I need to book by?
As early as you can. Popular weekends, the summer holidays and graduation season fill up quickly here, and the earlier you reserve the more of the catalog you get to choose from.
How many kids fit in a bounce house at once?
Most standard bounce houses are designed for roughly 5 to 6 children of similar size at a time. Exact occupancy is listed on each rental page, and kids of similar age and size should bounce together.
Can we set up in a Valparaiso park?
Usually yes, but confirm it with Valpo Parks when you book the shelter, because the department also rents out inflatables of its own and rules can vary by site. Three things to plan for: shelter reservations are paid in full at booking and are non-refundable, rain or shine; Rogers Lakewood charges a daily entrance fee, so either your guests pay at the gate or you add the $50 guest gate code to your shelter rental; and most shelters have no usable outlet, so you'll likely need a generator for the blower.
What about rain on the day?
Safety comes first. If severe weather is expected we may recommend postponing, and rescheduling options may be available. For inflatables we ask for at least 24 hours' notice on a weather-related reschedule, so call or text us as soon as the forecast turns.
Can you set up on a driveway instead of grass?
Concrete and pavement work in many cases, but it changes how we anchor, so tell us during booking if there's no grass at your setup spot.
Does a bounce house need electricity?
Yes. Most bounce houses run on one standard household outlet within 50 feet of the setup area, and the blower needs to stay running the whole time the unit is in use. At most Valparaiso park shelters that means bringing a generator.
Do you clean them between parties?
Yes — every inflatable is cleaned and sanitized before each rental, not just at the end of a busy weekend.
When do I pay, and what's the cancellation policy?
A deposit reserves your rentals for your date and is non-refundable, since it takes those units off the calendar. If you only paid a deposit, the remaining balance is due at setup by cash or check. Weather-related rescheduling options may be available with proper notice.
The rest of our delivery map
We're based in Crown Point, so Valparaiso is a run east along US 30 — a bit further than our Lake County towns, which is worth knowing when you check the delivery fee. If your town isn't listed, call or text and ask, because the answer is usually yes.
If you are taking measurements for a structure such as a building or fence, please provide the height of the structure here. If height does not apply to the wash, for instance for a gutter wash, leave this field empty. Please note if you enter a value here after taking measurements, you will need to take measurements again.
