Frequently Asked Questions

We handle everything! Sunshine Bounce & Play delivers directly to your venue or backyard, sets up all equipment completely, and returns at the end of your rental to take everything down. You don't lift a finger. Delivery, setup, and takedown are included in every single package — no exceptions.

Every single piece of equipment — foam mats, ball pit balls, bounce animals, mini bounce house — is deep cleaned and sanitized after every rental. Our soft play sets are specifically designed for ages 0–4 with no sharp edges, age-appropriate sizing, and padded foam on all surfaces. Your baby's safety is our top priority and it's something we take seriously every single time.

We work with you, not against you. If the weather isn't suitable for an outdoor setup, we have three options: we can help you move the party indoors to a suitable space, reschedule to a new date at no extra charge, or cancel the event with no penalty at all. We never leave you stranded — and we monitor forecasts ahead of time so we can proactively communicate with you before your party day.

Weekend dates — especially Saturdays — book up quickly, particularly in the spring and fall. We recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date. Once you've confirmed your package and received your quote, a $50 deposit holds your spot. The sooner you reach out, the more likely we can accommodate your exact date and setup preferences.

We're based in Parrish and serve surrounding areas, including Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Palmetto, Ellenton, and parts of Sarasota County and Hillsborough County. A small distance fee of $1.50 per mile (one way) applies for locations beyond our standard service area. Not sure if you're in our range? Just reach out and we'll let you know right away.

Yes — that's exactly what our Full Party Setup packages are for. The Sunshine Social ($417) includes the soft play set, a mini bounce house, a 13×13 tent, plus tables and chairs. The Ultimate Sunshine Bash ($517) adds a kids electric car, sensory toy chest, extra bounce animals, and an extra hour. You can also add a tent, tables, chairs, sensory toy chest, extra bounce animals, a kids electric car, or extra time à la carte to any package.

We accept Cash, Zelle, and credit/debit cards. A $50 deposit is required to confirm your booking — this deposit is non-refundable, but your date is fully secured once it's received. The remaining balance is due on the day of the event. In the case of weather cancellations, the deposit may be applied toward a rescheduled date. We believe in being transparent about pricing with no surprises.
