Many people may have planned a birthday party for their children, but not everyone has a chance to actually plan a great carnival for their non-profit or business organization. The fun carnival can be a great way to raise money and increase revenue by providing visitors a memorable experience. Kind of similar to planning a regular birthday party, just much larger. Today we will list some factors to consider for how to plan a great carnivals with inflatables.

1. You need a schedule

Just like planning a kid's birthday party or a prom party, you need to set a date for the carnival a few months in advance for you to get prepared. So that you have enough time to make a schedule for the plan and stick to it as much as you can. Pick a good day, preferably a holiday when people are more free. Then you can start to contact the venue and arrange the various rides and booths. And do everything you can on advertising to make everyone knows your great carnival!

2. Find a great venue

There are many place you can hold your carnival, from schools to empty parking lots and some public parks. The first thing you should do is contact with the venue manager get permits or insurance certificates from the local city and county governments. Then you can pick the best one from all the alternatives by considering the location, crowd and available space. The space of your venue determines how many inflatable rides you can place and how many people you can receive. The bigger the venue, the better for you to offer an excellent entertainment.

3. Plan the rides and inflatables

As we said, the space capacity restrictions can limit the number of your visitors, so you need to arrange as many amusements as you can and try your best to maximize the entertainment inside your carnival. Nobody likes waiting to take a turn on a ride, so you need to arrange your venue wisely. Divide the crowds with different play routes and move your visitors through the line and inflatable games quickly.

Inflatables with different dwell times can help you attract a lot of riders. Kids will stay longer in bounce houses, and inflatable obstacle courses can provide a one-and-done entertainment, participants get in from the start line one by one and get out from the finish line and then return to the back of the line if they want to try it again.

When selecting the inflatables for your carnival, they are so many rides are ideal for your needs, including moonwalk bouncers and combos for children, large inflatable amusement parks with multiple games, giant inflatable slides and obstacle courses, a variety of inflatable sport games like mechanical bull, gladiator jousting, bungee run, basketball toss, hungry hungry hippos, skee ball, soccer darts, etc. The consideration you need to do is that use the limited inflatables and rides to attract as many visitors as you can.

4. Hire staff for your carnival

Even if you rent all the amusement rides and inflatables and booths from the rental companies with staff to operate the equipment, as the carnival organizer, you will still need your own men to sell tickets and watch the site. You can hire some trained service staff or get some volunteers from the college and community. Make a set of guidelines for your staff to help them respond to the most common requests they might get from visitors, and have someone to manage incidents. Don't forget to give them at least one training before the carnival.

5. Get insurance and pay attention to safety

Nothing is more important than the safety at such a big event. You should check all the equipment to see if they are in good condition and whether they come with insurance. Ask your legal advisor to determine if you need additional liability coverage. And don't forget to make some safety guidelines signs to remind the visitors to play safe. Check your carnival venue for safe exits and attach emergency escape signs, prepare some fire fighting equipment and medicines.
