Picture this: kids lined up with huge smiles, parents actually relaxing, and everyone talking about your party for weeks. That’s what happens when you rent a water slide that actually works.
No more scrambling to keep everyone entertained. No more worried parents wondering if their kids are having fun. Just pure excitement from the moment we set up until the last splash.
You get the credit for throwing the party everyone remembers. We handle the heavy lifting, the setup, and making sure everything runs smoothly so you can enjoy your own event.
The Big Bounce Theory has been making Long Island events memorable since 2007. We’re a family-owned company that understands what it takes to throw a successful party because we’ve been in your shoes.
Based in Bohemia and serving all of Nassau and Suffolk counties, including Riverside, we’ve built our reputation on showing up on time with clean, safe equipment. No surprises, no excuses, just reliable service when you need it most.
We’re fully licensed and insured, which means you can focus on enjoying your event instead of worrying about liability. When you’re investing in your family’s fun, you want to work with people who take that responsibility seriously.
First, you pick your water slide based on your space and the ages of your guests. We have options from 13 feet up to 22 feet tall, so there’s something that works for toddlers and something that challenges teenagers.
Next, we handle the delivery and setup hours before your event starts. You don’t need to clear your entire morning or worry about whether we’ll show up. We arrive with everything needed, including safety equipment and clear setup instructions.
During your event, you just supervise and enjoy. The slides come with built-in safety features like entrance ramps, safety nets, and splash pools. After the party, we return to handle breakdown and pickup. You’re left with great memories and a clean yard.

Every water slide rental includes professional delivery, setup, and breakdown. You also get safety equipment, operating instructions, and emergency contact information. We don’t charge hidden setup fees or surprise you with extra costs.
In Riverside, we understand summer parties need to beat the heat effectively. That’s why our water slides are designed with large splash zones and continuous water flow systems. The commercial-grade materials handle heavy use while keeping everyone safe.
We also offer package deals that include tables, chairs, and concession equipment. Many Riverside families add a dunk tank or carnival games to create a complete backyard carnival experience. Everything arrives clean, tested, and ready to create the kind of party your neighbors will ask about.
Most residential water slides need about 25 feet long by 15 feet wide of flat space, plus access for delivery. The exact dimensions depend on which slide you choose, but we’ll walk you through the space requirements during booking.
You’ll also need access to electricity within 100 feet and a water source within 50 feet. Most Riverside homes have everything needed, but we can bring extension cords and longer hoses if your setup is unique.
We can work with smaller yards too. Our 13-foot slides fit in tighter spaces while still providing plenty of fun. During your consultation, we’ll help you pick the right size slide that maximizes fun without overwhelming your space.
All our water slides include built-in safety features like entrance ramps, safety nets at the top, and cushioned landing pools. They’re designed for ages 3 and up, but we’ll recommend the best option based on your guest list.
For mixed-age parties, we often suggest our combo units that include both bouncing areas and slides. Younger kids can enjoy the bounce house section while older kids use the slide. This keeps everyone entertained without safety concerns.
Each rental includes clear safety guidelines and age recommendations. We’ll also provide supervision tips so you know exactly how to keep everyone safe while maximizing the fun. Most parents find the slides are actually safer than they expected once they see the safety features in action.
We monitor weather forecasts closely and will contact you if severe weather is expected. Light rain usually doesn’t affect water slide parties since everyone’s already getting wet, but safety comes first with thunder or lightning.
If weather forces a cancellation, we’ll work with you to reschedule for another available date at no extra charge. We understand you can’t control the weather, and we don’t want you stuck with charges for something you couldn’t use.
For Riverside’s typical summer weather patterns, most water slide parties happen as planned. We’ve found that even partly cloudy days often work perfectly since the slides provide cooling relief regardless of full sunshine.
Summer weekends book up fast, especially for popular dates like Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day. We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks ahead for weekend parties, though we can sometimes accommodate shorter notice.
Weekday rentals typically have more availability, and you might secure a better rate for Tuesday through Thursday events. Many Riverside families discover that weekday parties work great for summer birthdays when kids are out of school.
If you’re planning a large event or need multiple pieces of equipment, book even earlier. Corporate events and school functions especially benefit from advance planning to ensure we have everything you need available.
We provide professional delivery, setup, and pickup, but supervision during your event is your responsibility. We’ll give you complete operating instructions and safety guidelines so you know exactly how to manage the slide safely.
Most parents find supervision straightforward once they understand the basic rules: one person on the slide at a time, feet-first sliding only, and adult supervision for younger children. The safety features built into each slide make management easier than you might expect.
If you need additional help, we can recommend local attendants who specialize in inflatable supervision. Many Riverside customers use this option for larger events where parents want to enjoy the party instead of constantly monitoring the equipment.
Your rental includes the water slide, professional delivery and setup, all safety equipment, operating instructions, and scheduled pickup. We don’t charge extra for setup time or basic delivery within our Riverside service area.
You’re responsible for providing electricity and water access. We bring everything else needed including extension cords, hoses, and ground stakes for securing the equipment. The slide arrives clean and tested, ready for immediate use.
Additional items like tables, chairs, or concession equipment are available for package pricing. Many families find the package deals save money compared to renting items separately, especially when you factor in the convenience of single-vendor coordination.
