Easter Egg Hunt Rentals
The hunt takes eleven minutes. Here's what makes families stay for two hours.
Every church running an Easter egg hunt has the same problem: the hunt is over almost immediately. Months of planning, thousands of eggs, and the field clears in under fifteen minutes.
Attractions are what turn a hunt into a morning. Set them up before the hunt starts so families see them on arrival and know there's a reason to stay — that decision gets made in the parking lot, not after the eggs are gone.
Set up before the hunt, not after
- Visible on arrival. Families decide how long they're staying when they walk in. If the only thing they can see is a field of eggs, they're leaving when it's picked clean.
- Stagger the hunt by age group and run attractions the whole time. The 3-and-unders hunt while the older kids bounce, then swap. Doubles the length of your event with no extra equipment.
- Keep units away from the hunt field until the hunt is done, or you'll have kids in a bounce house instead of collecting eggs.
What to rent
- Two standard bounce houses. Toddlers and elementary separated. This is the core of an Easter event.
- A slide or small obstacle course as the visual anchor from the parking lot.
- Spin art or pucker powder. Kids leave holding something that isn't candy, which parents appreciate more than you'd think.
- Something for the teenagers if your congregation has them — they don't hunt eggs, and without a competition unit they're sitting in a car.
- Skip water. Easter in New Orleans can be 80 degrees or 55. Not worth the gamble on a spring morning.
Spring dates are tight
Easter falls in our crawfish boil and spring festival season, and it's always a Sunday morning — which is a narrow delivery window we're fitting around Saturday events. Book 4 to 6 weeks out, and tell us it's a Sunday morning setup so we schedule it properly.
The practical stuff
- Power: dedicated 20 amp circuit per blower within 100 feet, or generators from us — one per inflatable.
- Surface: grass staked, parking lot sandbagged. Spring rain means soft ground — tell us if your field floods.
- Insurance: certificate at 4.5% of the order.
- Supervision: one monitor per unit. Easter draws visitors who aren't regular attenders, so supervision matters more than at a normal church event.
- Weather: cancel two days out for a raincheck good three months.
Common questions
Should attractions be set up before or after the hunt?
Before, and visible from the parking lot. Families decide whether to stay before the hunt begins.
How do we make the event last longer?
Stagger the hunt by age group and run attractions continuously. It's the cheapest way to double your event length.
How far ahead should we book Easter?
Four to six weeks, and flag that it's a Sunday morning so we schedule the delivery window around it.
What about the teenagers?
One competition unit. They won't hunt, and they'll leave without something to do.
