A carnival rental company provides the games, inflatables, and equipment that make up a carnival experience — delivered, set up, and picked up at your event location. Unlike a full carnival operator (which brings rides and requires a large footprint), a carnival rental company focuses on portable, scalable entertainment that works in school parking lots, church grounds, corporate campuses, and backyards.



Chicago Carnival Rentals is a division of Jump Guy Party Rentals, a family-owned Chicago company with 25+ years of experience. We specialize in carnival games, inflatable obstacle courses, and full event setups for events of all sizes across Chicago and 25+ suburbs.

Carnival Games — Ring toss, ball toss, bounce-a-ball, duck pond, spray-n-race, and 70+ more booth-style games. Games can be rented individually or as part of a package. Staffed or self-run options available.



Inflatable Obstacle Courses — From kid-friendly 25-foot mini courses to giant 100-foot multi-section courses. Perfect for school field days, corporate team-building, and community festivals.



Inflatable Fun — Bounce houses, water slides, combo units, and themed inflatables for backyard parties, school events, and summer festivals.



Full Event Packages — Combine games, inflatables, and staffing into a complete carnival experience. Our packages start at $595 for school and church events and $1,599 for corporate events.
