School Carnival & Post Prom Rentals: Bring the Fun to Your Next School Event

High school kids at a post prom by the Carnival Guy

Planning a school event that students actually get excited about can be a challenge.

You need activities that are fun, safe, age-appropriate and capable of entertaining a crowd. And whether you're planning an elementary school carnival or an all-night high school post prom, you probably don't want to spend months coordinating equipment from multiple rental companies.

That's where Carnival Guy Party Rentals can help.

We provide school carnival rentals, post prom entertainment, inflatable rentals, interactive games and event attractions for schools throughout Kansas, the Midwest and beyond.

From bounce houses for younger students to obstacle courses and competitive attractions for high schoolers, we can help build an entertainment package around your students, venue and budget.

School Carnival Rentals for Every Age

A great school carnival should have something happening everywhere you look.

For elementary and middle school events, that could mean a combination of colorful inflatables, carnival games, slides, fun foods and interactive activities.

Popular options can include:

  • Bounce houses and inflatable slides
  • Inflatable obstacle courses
  • Carnival games
  • Dunk tanks
  • Rock climbing walls
  • Interactive inflatable games
  • Cotton candy and popcorn
  • Tables, chairs and tents
  • Face painters and balloon artists
  • Event attendants and operators

Instead of renting a single attraction, schools can create an entire carnival-style experience with activities spread throughout the event.

That works especially well for PTO and PTA carnivals, school fundraisers, field days, back-to-school celebrations and end-of-year events.

Post Prom Entertainment That Keeps Students Engaged

Post prom is a completely different type of event.

High school students need entertainment that's challenging, competitive and interactive.

This is where larger attractions really shine.

Inflatable obstacle courses, climbing attractions, interactive games and competitive carnival games give students something to actually do throughout the night.

Rather than relying entirely on music, food and prizes, you can turn the venue into an experience students explore with their friends.

Challenge a classmate on an obstacle course.

Race to the top of a climbing attraction.

Compete at a carnival game.

Try something completely ridiculous just because it's 1:00 in the morning after prom.

That's what makes a memorable post prom.

Build a Post Prom Package Instead of Renting One Attraction

One of the best ways to keep students entertained is variety.

Instead of putting your entire entertainment budget toward one large attraction, consider creating different activity zones throughout your venue.

You might combine a large inflatable obstacle course with several smaller interactive games and carnival attractions.

That gives students choices and helps spread participants throughout the event.

Carnival Guy can help schools select a combination of post prom rentals and entertainment based on attendance, available space, student ages, event duration and budget.

Indoor and Outdoor School Event Rentals

Not every school event happens outside.

Many post proms, after-prom parties, school celebrations and winter events take place inside gymnasiums, field houses and other indoor facilities.

We can help identify attractions that work with your available floor space and ceiling height while considering important details such as electrical requirements, entrances and setup access.

For outdoor school carnivals, we can also help plan around available space, power requirements and the overall event layout.

The goal isn't simply to deliver equipment.

It's to make sure the equipment actually works for your event.

Planning a PTO or PTA School Carnival?

School carnivals are often organized by parent volunteers who already have plenty on their plates.

You shouldn't have to become an amusement expert just to put together a fun Friday night at school.

Tell us approximately how many students and families you're expecting, their ages, where the event will take place and your approximate entertainment budget.

From there, Carnival Guy can recommend a combination of attractions that makes sense.

Whether you're planning for 100 students or a much larger community event, we'll help you determine where your budget can have the biggest impact.

Start Planning Your School Carnival or Post Prom

The best school events aren't necessarily the ones with the most equipment.

They're the ones with the right mix of activities.

That's why we recommend starting with a few simple details:

How many students are attending?

What age group are you entertaining?

Is the event indoors or outdoors?

How much space do you have?

What's your approximate budget?

And what do you want students to remember about the event?

We'll take it from there.

Carnival Guy Party Rentals can help you create a school carnival, post prom or student celebration packed with inflatables, games, attractions and plenty of opportunities for students to have fun together.
