Your Water Slide Rental Questions Answered
What are water slide rental prices in the Rio Grande Valley?
Our water slide rental prices range from $215-$499 based on dimensions and features. Compact inflatables are priced from $215, while our largest unit, the 24ft Splash Park, is $499. Prices do not include sales tax, and a delivery fee may apply based on your event location within the Rio Grande Valley.
Do water slides need to stay plugged in the entire time?
Yes, a blower keeps air in the inflatable water slide the entire time it is in use. The slide cannot maintain shape without constant airflow. That is why we require an electrical outlet within 50ft of the setup location or a generator. We bring our own heavy-duty extension cords because longer household cords can trip your circuit breaker.
How far in advance should I book a water slide rental?
We recommend booking your water slide rental at least 2-3 weeks in advance for popular periods. Saturday and Sunday availability disappears early, and our most popular units like the 24ft Splash Park and 27ft Sky Mountain tend to get reserved well in advance.
