The Ultimate Guide to Fall & Winter Inflatable Rentals in Middle Georgia & South Metro Atlanta! (2025-2026)


Hey, everybody! Welcome to the Wow Inflatables blog. I’m so excited you’re here.

You know, a lot of people think that bounce houses, obstacle courses, and all that fun stuff are just for hot, sunny summer days. When the leaves start to turn brown and the air gets a little chilly here in Georgia, people start packing up their party plans.

Well, I’m here to tell you a secret: Fall and winter might just be the best time to rent an inflatable!

Seriously! Don’t let the cool weather stop your fun. Whether you’re planning a birthday party, a school fall festival, a church gathering, or a huge family get-together for Thanksgiving, an inflatable from Wow Inflatables is the perfect way to make it unforgettable.

We are Wow Inflatables, your local, friendly, and super-dependable party rental company. We serve all our amazing neighbors in Middle Georgia and the South Metro Atlanta area. If you live in Forsyth, Macon, Warner Robins, Griffin, McDonough, Stockbridge, Locust Grove, or anywhere in between, we are your team!

Today, we’re going to talk all about renting inflatables in the late fall and winter. We’re going to answer all your questions, bust some myths, and give you some awesome tips for your next holiday party.

Let’s jump in!

Why Are Fall and Winter AWESOME for Bounce Houses?

You’re probably thinking, "Isn't it too cold?"

Let me ask you this: Have you ever seen a kid stand still in a bounce house? No way! They are jumping, running, climbing, and laughing. All that moving around makes them warm up fast.

Honestly, a cool, crisp 60-degree day in Forsyth is way more comfortable for bouncing than a super-hot 95-degree day in July. The vinyl doesn’t get hot, and the kids can play for hours without getting overheated.

Here are a few reasons why fall and winter rentals are the best:

Holiday Parties: This is the big one! We’re talking Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. Families are coming together, and you need a way to keep all those kids, cousins, and friends happy and busy.

School Fall Festivals: Almost every school in Middle Georgia, from Macon to Warner Robins, has a fall festival. What makes a festival amazing? An obstacle course or a giant slide!

Church Events: Trunk-or-treats, fall gatherings, and holiday parties at church are a huge deal. We love working with our local churches in Griffin and Jackson to provide fun for the whole community.

Birthday Parties: Birthdays happen all year round! A cool-weather birthday party with a bounce house combo is a huge win.


Your Big Fall & Winter Rental Questions—ANSWERED!

Okay, let's get to the questions we hear all the time at Wow Inflatables. You can always call us at 678-379-9691 if you have more, but here are the most common ones.

Q1: "Seriously, is there a 'too cold' temperature for a bounce house?"

Yes, there is, and this is all about safety.

We want everyone to have fun, but we also have to be safe. Inflatables are made of vinyl, and when it gets super cold (like, freezing), the vinyl can get stiff and brittle. It’s also just not fun if it’s freezing outside.

Our general rule at Wow Inflatables is that we will set up outside as long as the high temperature for the day is above 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

If the temperature is in the 50s or 60s, it's PERFECT bouncing weather. The kids will be comfortable, and the inflatable will be safe. If you're planning a party in McDonough and the high is 55, you are good to go!

Q2: "What if it rains? This is Georgia, after all!"

Ah, rain. The one thing we can’t control! We have a great rain policy.

Safety is always, always, always first. Inflatables and water (from rain) do not mix. They become incredibly slippery and dangerous. Also, the blowers that keep them inflated are electric, which is a big no-no with rain.

If it’s raining, we cannot set up an inflatable outside.

But don't worry! If the forecast shows heavy rain or high winds, we will call you the day before your event. We can try to reschedule your rental for another day, and you won't lose your money. We want you to have your party!

The best way to beat the rain? Plan for an indoor setup!

Q3: "Can I rent an inflatable INDOORS?"

YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES!

This is the number one secret to a perfect fall or winter party. Renting an inflatable for an indoor space means your party is 100% weather-proof. Who cares if it’s 30 degrees or raining sideways? The party is on!

So, where can you set up an inflatable inside?

School Gyms: Perfect for school events or big birthday parties.

Church Fellowship Halls: We set up in churches all over Middle Georgia and South Metro Atlanta.

Community Centers: Many towns like Barnesville and Forsyth have centers you can rent.

Large Garages: Some of our smaller bounce houses can fit in a two-car garage.

Warehouses or Event Venues: If you're hosting a big holiday event, ask them about their space.

Here is the most important tip for indoor rentals: You must measure your space! The biggest problem isn't the floor space; it's the ceiling height.

You need to check for low-hanging lights, fans, or basketball hoops. Our website, www.wowjumpparty.com, lists the exact dimensions (length, width, AND height) for every single one of our inflatables.

Before you book, measure your ceiling. Then, call us at 678-379-9691, and we can tell you exactly which units will fit perfectly in your space.

Q4: "Can I still rent a water slide?"

We know you love our water slides, but in the fall and winter, it's just too cold. We stop renting water slides once the weather cools down.

BUT... we have something just as fun: DRY SLIDES!

We have amazing giant slides and bounce house combos that have slides you can use completely dry. Kids get the same thrill of racing down a huge slide, but without turning into a popsicle. Our combo units (a bounce house with a slide attached) are the most popular choice for cool-weather parties.


The Best Inflatables for Your Fall or Winter Event

Not all inflatables are the same. For a fall or winter party, you want units that keep kids moving. Here are our top picks for any event from Griffin to Macon.

1. Obstacle Courses

This is my number one recommendation! Why? Because an obstacle course is a game.

Kids line up and race each other. They run, jump, crawl through tunnels, climb up ladders, and slide to the finish. They are constantly moving, which keeps them warm and burns off all that holiday-party sugar.

Our obstacle courses are amazing for school fall festivals, church events, or big backyard parties in Warner Robins. They are great for all ages—even teens and adults like to race!

2. Bounce House Combos (The "4-in-1")

This is the classic, and you can't go wrong. A combo unit gives you the most bang for your buck. It usually has:

A big jumping area

A basketball hoop inside

A climbing wall

A fun (dry) slide

It's a whole party in one unit. It’s perfect for a backyard birthday party in Stockbridge or a family get-together.

3. Interactive Games

Want something different? Check out our interactive games! We have things like inflatable axe-throwing (don't worry, it's velcro and totally safe!), basketball shootouts, and other fun games.

These are perfect for older kids, teens, and adults. If you're having a "Friendsgiving" or an office holiday party, these are a huge hit. They add a fun, competitive spirit to any event.

The Ultimate Thanksgiving Party Plan: Keep the Kids Busy!

Let’s talk about Thanksgiving. It’s my favorite holiday! The food, the family, the football... and the sound of 10 kids running through the house screaming while you’re trying to check the turkey.

Sound familiar?

Here is your secret weapon for a peaceful, fun Thanksgiving. Rent an inflatable from Wow Inflatables.

Problem: The kids are "bored." They are underfoot in the kitchen. They are bugging the adults who are trying to watch the game. Solution: A "Kids' Zone" in the backyard (or a gym, or even a garage!).

Our Top Thanksgiving Rental Tips:

Tip 1: Create a "Turkey Trot" Zone Rent an obstacle course and call it the "Official Turkey Trot." The kids can race all day long. It's the perfect way for them to burn off energy before and after the big meal. While the adults are feeling sleepy on the couch, the kids will be happily playing for hours. This is a game-changer for any host in the Middle Georgia area.

Tip 2: The "Babysitter" That's Always on Time A bounce house is like the world's best babysitter. It's safe, it's fun, and it keeps all the kids in one place where you can see them. You can actually sit down and talk to your family while the kids are having the time of their lives.

Tip 3: Don't Forget the "Fun Food" The turkey is for dinner, but what about snacks? Add a popcorn machine or cotton candy machine to your rental. It's super easy to use, and it makes your party feel like a real festival. The kids (and adults!) will love it. We provide all the supplies!

Tip 4: Book Your Thanksgiving Rental NOW! This is the most important tip. Thanksgiving week is one of our busiest weeks of the entire year. Everyone in Middle Georgia and South Metro Atlanta has the same idea!

If you want an inflatable for your Thanksgiving gathering, do not wait. Go to www.wowjumpparty.com or call us at 678-379-9691 today to reserve your spot. We sell out every single year!

Planning a Christmas or New Year's Party?

The same ideas work perfectly for Christmas and New Year's!

Neighborhood Christmas Party: Get all the neighbors to chip in and rent a giant slide or obstacle course for the cul-de-sac.

Family Christmas Eve: Having all the family over? A bounce house is the perfect way to keep the grandkids entertained.

New Year's Eve Party: Want to have a safe, fun, at-home party for New Year's? An inflatable is perfect. The kids can bounce their way into the New Year, and you'll know exactly where they are.

Again, these holiday dates book up fast. We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance to get the inflatable you want.
