Carnival Rides?

Question

During the summer, I am planning to have a mini sidewalk carnival for the kids in my neighborhood to raise money for Make A Wish Foundation. Are there any small, cheap rides I can make or purchase?

Answer 1

Sometimes there are companies that will bring you a miniature Carousel (on the back of truck) that will come for you.  You can also hire a balloon clown, and I know you can get consession carts (popcorn and hot dogs).  I would also hire a large bounce house slide or inflatable water slide or obstical course.   If your really want to go wild you might be able to hire a roller coaster, but I think you'd need permits for that.   Consider pony rides as well.

Answer 2

Yes, you can either purchase small rides or just rent them. I would suggest doing a search in the yellow pages or on google for inflatable rides and games that are in your area, like a company that offers those for rent in your town. If not, you can always rent them online have them shipped to you.

Some websites that offer good carnival rides, some inflatable are here:

Also, just think of small inflatable rides that you could rent. Those are the most cheapest, and the kids love em'. I hope that helped, good luck! :)
