Bounce House & Water Slide Rentals in Gentilly
Gentilly backyards tend to be deep and fenced, which suits the bigger combos and slides. The thing to check here is the side gate, not the yard.
Bounce World delivers bounce houses, water slides, combos, obstacle courses and inflatable games throughout Gentilly and the rest of Orleans Parish. We are SIOTO certified, carry $1,000,000 per occurrence liability coverage, and can name your venue on a certificate. Call (504) 467-9424 with your date and setup spot for a quote.

Planning it in an Orleans Parish park?
Park rules here are not uniform, and two of them catch people out every year:
- New Orleans City Park prohibits bounce houses, water slides and water-play structures outright.
- Audubon Park allows them with a permit — $75 for 25 or more guests, $150 at the Tree of Life. Facilities run 6am to 9pm and events cannot start after 5pm. Reserve about a month out.
- Neighborhood playgrounds are run by NORD — confirm with them before you book, and expect to supply your own power.
Backyard setups have none of this. See our venue guides for the details on each.
Local note
Gentilly is close to City Park, and City Park prohibits inflatables entirely. If your plan was a park setup there, it has to move — a backyard, a church lot or a JPRD park across the parish line are the usual alternatives.
What your site needs
- Gate width — 36 inches minimum for a bounce house, 42 for a bigger game. Measure the narrowest point of the whole path, not just the gate.
- Power — a dedicated 20 amp circuit for each blower, within 100 feet, nothing else on that breaker. We use our own cords.
- Water — a working garden hose within 50 feet for any wet unit. Splitters available.
- Surface — grass is staked, concrete and blacktop are sandbagged, indoors is ballasted. Turf and concrete carry a $25 fee.
- Overhead — clear of trees, branches, balconies and power lines.
When to book
- October — school and church fall festivals. Our busiest month. Book by August.
- Late May — field days and graduations. Book by March.
- February to May — crawfish boils and spring events. Book by January.
- Carnival season — book before Christmas; street closures decide what we can reach.
- Most other dates — a few weeks is usually enough.
Frequently asked
Do you deliver to Gentilly?
Yes. Gentilly is inside our regular service area and we run Orleans Parish routes every week. Call (504) 467-9424 with your date and address and we will confirm the delivery window.
What does it cost to rent in Gentilly?
The rental depends on the unit, the day and the location. On top of it, expect a $35 park location fee if you are in a park, $25 for turf or concrete setups, and an additional insured certificate at 4.5% of the order for parks, commercial and school locations. Minimum order amounts apply depending on availability.
Can I put an inflatable in a park in Gentilly?
It depends entirely on the park, and some prohibit them outright. Gentilly is close to City Park, and City Park prohibits inflatables entirely. If your plan was a park setup there, it has to move — a backyard, a church lot or a JPRD park across the parish line are the usual alternatives.
How long do I get the unit for?
All day. Pickup is either at your party end time or the next morning depending on our route, and we text to confirm. You do not need to be home for pickup — just leave gate access and the blower plugged in.
What if the weather turns?
Wind at 20 mph or higher, or lightning, means everyone exits and the blower gets unplugged until it passes. Light rain is fine on a wet unit. Cancel at least two days out and what you have paid becomes a raincheck, valid three months and usable once.
