You can book with Grasshoppers one day ahead of delivery and collection. However we recommend that you book as far ahead as possible, as we take bookings up to a year in advance and can get very busy.
We at Grasshopper Jumping Castles promise to give you great value and a great deal! Our castles vary in price based on the type, size and duration of hire. For a full price list, visit our ‘see our castles’ page.
The prices shown on our website include 4 or 7 hours hire and this includes delivery, installation and pick up of the equipment. Set up of the jumping castles is always completed prior to the appointed booking time.
* Supervision costs are in addition to the listed website prices.
When are your jumping castles available?
Our castles are available 7 days a week all year round including public holidays.
How many children can bounce at one time?
There are many factors involved when calculating how many children can bounce at the same time. We need to take into account the height and weight of the children and the specific castle they are using. Each castle comes with a manufacturers recommended number of children which is listed on individual castle descriptions. However, common sense is always recommended.
What about rain or if I need to cancel?
In the event of rain, cancellations on the day of hire will NOT incur a cancellation fee, providing Grasshopper Jumping Castles receives at least 3 hours notice prior to the hire. If this does not occur, customers will be charged a $50 cancellation fee or $100 in the case of a Disco Dome or Lost Temple.
Cancellations with more than a week’s notice will not incur a charge.
Cancellations made with between 3 and 6 days notice will incur a $50 charge.
Cancellations made with less than 3 days notice will incur a $100 charge.
If it is a very slight slope it may be ok, you will need to discuss this prior to the booking.
How long does it take to set up/inflate/deflate/pack up the castle?
The bouncy castles take approx 15 minutes to set up and 20 minutes to pack away. However this is only an estimate, times may vary depending on which castle you hire.
Grasshopper Jumping Castles prides itself on its flawless safety record. We take every precaution we can to ensure the safety of you and your children. However, in the event of an accident we have $20 million public liability insurance. Please ask us on the day of your hire if you would like to see a copy of our insurance certificate.
All jumping castles can be inflated using your normal household power supply. All of our electrical equipment is tagged and tested and we use RCD’s (Residual Current Devices) on all of our equipment. The jumping castle must be set up within 30m of a power supply. If this is not possible or you are having your party in a park then we can supply our own petrol powered generator.
In the interests of your child’s safety your castle must be supervised. If you require, a staff member from Grasshopper Jumping Castles can supervise your castle for $30 per hour. All of our staff have current Blue Cards and Police checks and most importantly, all of our staff are parents. If you are having your castle in a park or public place then it is a requirement that Grasshopper Jumping Castle staff supervise your castle. The Disco Dome and all corporate hires come with compulsory supervision.
