Kids Party Rentals in Palo Alto
Palo Alto backyards run the gamut, from the flat, open lots behind Eichler homes near Midtown to the older Craftsman and Spanish-style places under the big oaks in Crescent Park. We rent the pieces that make a kid's birthday feel like an event — bounce houses, soft play sets, ball pits, bumper cars, and beautifully styled tables and chairs — and we handle the delivery, the setup, and the pickup so you can actually enjoy the day. Booking is done online with a 50% deposit to lock in your date. Whether you're hosting a toddler's first birthday or a backyard bash for a house full of kindergartners, we'll match the equipment to your space.

Party rentals built for Palo Alto backyards
The classic Palo Alto Eichler is a gift for a bounce house — those flat, rectangular backyards and open post-and-beam layouts give equipment room to breathe, and many have a side gate wide enough to roll a unit straight through. If you're in Old Palo Alto, College Terrace, or one of the older sections of Community Center, your yard may be shadier and more irregular, with mature trees and root-lifted patios to work around; that's fine, we just plan the footprint ahead of time and pick a piece that clears the canopy.
For the more compact lots closer to downtown and the Green Gables side, a full-size combo bounce house isn't always the right call. We'll often steer you toward a soft play set or a ball pit that turns a modest patio into a genuine play zone without swallowing the whole yard. Tell us your rough dimensions and any gate or step access when you book, and we'll confirm the fit before delivery day.
Celebrating at a Palo Alto park
Palo Alto has some of the best birthday parks in the South Bay. Mitchell Park is a perennial favorite for its playground and open lawns, Rinconada Park pairs well with the pool and the library for a full afternoon, and Peers Park gives you shaded grass with room to spread out. Each of these requires a picnic-area or facility reservation through the city, so book that early — summer weekends fill up fast.
Most park sites don't have power where you'll want the equipment, so if you're renting a bounce house or anything that needs a continuous blower, let us know at booking and we'll bring a quiet generator. We deliver, set everything up on the grass, and come back to break it down at the end so your only job is the cake.

Palo Alto party rental questions
Do you deliver to all parts of Palo Alto?
Yes. We deliver across Palo Alto — Old Palo Alto, Crescent Park, College Terrace, Midtown, Barron Park, Community Center, Green Gables and everywhere in between — and we set up and pick up as part of the service.
Will a bounce house fit in my Palo Alto backyard?
Usually, yes, especially in the flatter Eichler yards around Midtown and Barron Park. For tighter downtown or tree-heavy lots, send us your rough yard dimensions and gate width when you book and we'll confirm the fit or suggest a soft play or ball pit setup instead.
Can you set up at a Palo Alto park like Mitchell or Rinconada?
We can. You'll need to reserve the picnic or facility area through the City of Palo Alto first. Since park sites rarely have accessible power, just tell us at booking and we'll bring a generator, then handle delivery, setup, and pickup on-site.
How much is delivery to Palo Alto?
Delivery to Palo Alto is $112. You are about 27.7 miles from our Oakland warehouse, and our rate is $80 flat within 20 miles then $4 a mile after that. The fee covers the round trip, setup when we arrive and collection afterwards. It is calculated from your exact address at checkout, so the figure you see is the figure you pay.
Is setup included, or do I put it up myself?
Setup is included. We deliver to your Palo Alto address, position and set up everything, and come back to collect it at the end of your window. You do not assemble anything, and there is no separate labour charge.
How far ahead should I book?
Online bookings need at least 7 days of notice, and you can book up to 12 months ahead. In practice Palo Alto weekends in spring and summer go early, so booking three to six weeks out gives you the best choice of dates and items. Nothing is held without a deposit, so the date is only yours once that is paid.
What deposit do you take, and what if I need to cancel?
A 50% deposit and a signed rental agreement reserve your items. The balance is due one week before the event, and bookings made inside that week are paid in full up front. If you need to move the date for weather, illness or anything else, your payment transfers to the new date subject to availability. If you cancel outright, the payment becomes in-house credit you can use for up to 18 months.
Can I choose an exact delivery time?
Standard delivery and collection are one-hour arrival windows, which lets us route the day's Palo Alto runs efficiently. If your venue or party schedule needs a precise time, you can add a guaranteed exact-time slot for $100 at checkout and we build the route around it.
Can I keep the rentals overnight?
Yes. Same-day collection is standard, and an overnight or next-morning pickup is $75. It is worth considering for an evening party in Palo Alto, since it takes the pressure off the end of the event and we collect the following day instead.
Which parts of Palo Alto do you cover?
All of Palo Alto, including Old Palo Alto, Crescent Park, College Terrace, Midtown, Barron Park and Green Gables, plus the surrounding South Bay. The delivery fee is the same across the city, so where you are inside Palo Alto does not change the price.
