A way to play

    Call Scott: (270) 696-4386

    These are general play ideas. Scott can confirm the rules, setup, space needed and availability for your date.

    Where carnival games pull a crowd.

    Carnival games work anywhere people walk from booth to booth. Each one is quick to learn, takes a turn or two and resets fast, so a line never stalls for long.

    Tell Scott who is coming and how much room you have, and he can help you choose a mix that fits the day.

    • School carnivals and field days

      A row of toss and target games gives every grade something to try, and parent volunteers can run them without a long explanation.

      Good picks:
      Banana Toss carnival game rental

    • Church festivals and parish picnics

      One organizer said Scott brought a new level of fun to their parish picnic kids zone. Carnival games give families a reason to stay a little longer after lunch.

    What kinds of events are carnival games good for?

    School carnivals and field days, church festivals and parish picnics, county fairs, fundraisers, company family days and birthday parties are all a good fit. Each game is quick to learn, so guests of all ages can jump in.

    Can carnival games be set up indoors?

    Many events use them inside gyms, fellowship halls and community rooms. Tell Scott whether you are indoors or outdoors and how much room you have, and he can suggest games that fit the space.

    Can I match carnival games to a party theme?

    Yes. The themed sets include Candy, Space and Galaxy, Super Heroes, Wonderland, Under the Sea, Emerald City, Ice Princess, Rubber Ducky, Storybook, Bricks, Summer, Americana and Graffiti, Glow and Baseball. Tell Scott your theme and he can suggest the sets that fit.

    The Glow set is made for evening events. Ask Scott about the lighting and room conditions for your space.

    How much does it cost to rent carnival games?

    Pricing depends on how many games you choose, how long your event runs and where it takes place. A few games for a backyard party will be priced differently from a full midway for a school carnival.

    For an exact quote, send your date, venue, expected crowd and the games you like.

    How far ahead should I book carnival games?

    Reach out as soon as you know your date. Summer weekends and the fall festival season fill up first, and a specific game may already be booked for another event that day.

    Call Scott at (270) 696-4386 or fill out the event form on this page, and he will follow up with you. Scott accepts cash, debit card or check, and you review a written rental agreement before your event.
