Yes! All of our units are cleaned thoroughly. We are committed to making sure that your children are playing in a clean, well maintained, and safe environment. After each rental, every unit is thoroughly cleaned by commercial vinyl cleaners, disinfected, and sanitized. Once the unit is clean, it will be inspected to ensure cleanliness.

All of our units are made from 100% lead free vinyl. Safety is not an option, it’s a REQUIREMENT, and the safety of your children is our #1 priority.

Everything! Our units are a perfect addition to any party, event, or celebration. You can find one of our vast selection of bouncers, water slides, and interactive units at occasions including but not limited to: birthday parties, church festivals, charity events, corporate events, company picnics, school field days, grand openings, family reunions, Vacation Bible Schools, summer camps, and much more!

Under no circumstances should water be used with any inflatable that is not designed for such use. However, there are inflatables designed for use with water. We will be glad to let you know what water units are available for you to rent for your event. 

Our inflatables can be set up on grass, cement, concrete, asphalt, or even indoors with a different anchoring system available for every possible combination. When placing your reservation, please let us know on what type of terrain your rental will be installed. Inflatables that are setup on grass are anchored with long steel stakes, while inflatables that are setup on other surfaces or indoors are anchored with sandbags.

At Mission Inflatables we use Mr Clean antibacterial.  

We have options for events that do not have power available.  M.I. can supply generators for an additional cost. 

No skates or footwear are allowed in and on the bounce houses.  We try hard to provide safe, clean and top tier units.  Help us keep it that way.  

Mission Inflatables service area covers the greater Brazos Valley Area.  You can always call and confirm your address if concerned with being out of our service area.

No, Glow sticks have a chemical in them that will stain the vinyl making it off color.   

If there is high wind in your area you will receive an automated call with instructions to turn the blower off and let the unit deflate. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about the weather during your event.  

Each unit has different space requirements, but as a general rule you’ll want at least 3–5 extra feet on all sides for safety and anchoring. We list the footprint of every inflatable on its product page and are happy to help you double-check that it will fit your yard, gym, or event space.

Yes, we regularly set up at public parks, churches, schools, and businesses as well as private homes. Some parks require permits or proof of insurance, so be sure to check with your city first, and we can provide any paperwork they need.

Safety always comes first, so we do not operate in high winds, lightning, or severe weather. If the forecast looks unsafe, we’ll work with you to reschedule or adjust your rentals; if we haven’t delivered or set up yet, a weather-related cancellation will usually qualify for a raincheck toward a future date.

Most inflatables require a standard household outlet within 75–100 feet of the setup area. If power is not available or your event is in a park or large field, we can provide generator rentals for an additional fee and make sure everything is powered safely.

Our standard rental window is usually for the day, which gives you plenty of time for your party or event. In many cases, overnight or multi-day rentals are available for an additional charge, as long as the equipment will be in a secure location.

Yes, someone 18 or older needs to be present to show us where to set up, review safety rules, and sign the rental agreement. For pickups, it’s helpful—but not always required—for an adult to be present as long as the equipment is accessible and the area is clear.

Please make sure the area is cleared of toys, furniture, pet waste, rocks, and sharp objects, and that sprinklers are turned off. We also ask that any vehicles or trailers be moved so we have a clear path to safely bring the equipment to the setup spot.

Each inflatable has recommended age, weight, and capacity guidelines to keep everyone safe. We’ll go over these with you at setup, but in general, users should be grouped by similar size/age, follow posted rules, and always be supervised by a responsible adult.

Yes, many of our inflatables can be set up indoors as long as the ceiling height and entryways are tall and wide enough. Indoors, we use sandbags instead of stakes for anchoring, so please tell us ahead of time if your event will be inside.

For peak times like spring field days, summer events, and fall festivals, we recommend booking several weeks in advance to get your first choice of inflatables and games. If your event is coming up quickly, still reach out—we’ll do our best to match you with great options that are available.

Most standard bounce houses and smaller inflatables take about 20–30 minutes to set up and similar time to take down, depending on access to the area and how many units you’ve rented.

Yes, every inflatable is inspected during setup to ensure it’s properly anchored, inflated correctly, and free of visible damage so your guests can enjoy a safe experience.

If you notice anything unusual—like loss of air, damage, or a blower issue—have everyone exit the unit immediately and contact us right away so we can walk you through next steps or send help if needed.

No, for safety reasons the inflatable must stay exactly where our team installs and anchors it. Moving it can loosen anchors, damage power cords, and create unsafe conditions for your guests

Pets should be kept away from the inflatables and cords at all times, as claws and teeth can damage the vinyl and power cables, and animals can create safety and cleanliness issues for other guests.

Most events require a deposit to hold your date and equipment; if you need to cancel or reschedule, our team will review your situation and apply our cancellation and weather policies accordingly.

We typically accept major credit/debit cards and may accept other forms of payment depending on the event type; details will be provided during the booking process so you know exactly what to expect.

Many inflatables require their own dedicated circuit to run safely without tripping breakers, so we’ll help you plan power needs in advance and recommend generators if your on-site power is limited.

Mild slopes are often manageable, but we may not be able to set up on steep or uneven areas; if you’re unsure, send us a photo or ask us to evaluate the space before your event.

Adult supervision is always required, and for larger events we can often provide trained attendants for an additional fee to help manage lines, enforce rules, and keep things running smoothly.

We can usually set up on grass, concrete, or pavement, as long as the area is clear and level. Gravel, dirt, or rocky surfaces may not be suitable for certain inflatables, so let us know what your surface is when you book.

You can absolutely tell us where you’d like things to go, and we’ll do our best to honor that. However, final placement may change slightly based on power access, space, slope, and safety requirements.

The blowers make a steady humming sound similar to a large fan. Most events have enough music and conversation that the noise blends into the background, but we can help position them to minimize impact.

If our schedule allows, we can often extend your rental for an additional fee. Contact us as soon as you know you’d like extra time so we can check availability and confirm the updated end time.

For schools, churches, corporate events, and bigger community gatherings, we can often suggest packages or multi-unit setups that maximize fun and value. Tell us your budget and guest count, and we’ll help you build a great lineup.

Absolutely—this is one of the things we do best. Share who’s coming (ages, group size) and the kind of event you’re hosting, and we’ll recommend options that match your crowd, space, and energy level.
