Water Slide & Dry Slide Rentals
BackYard Carnivals rents inflatable water slides and dry slides from 13 to 24 feet tall, delivered and set up across Florida’s First Coast. Many of our slides run wet or dry, so the same slide works for a hot July birthday and a cool October field day.
We’ve been hauling slides onto First Coast lawns since 2001, and we carry one of the largest inflatable slide selections in the area. We clean and check our units, and if a seam needs work it gets fixed in our own repair shop, which is why a small tear on Thursday doesn’t cancel your Saturday.
Wet, dry, or both
Many of our slides run wet or dry, and you pick which on the day of your event. Running a slide dry means no hose, no wet grass and no soaked shoes in the house afterward. Running it wet in a Florida August means nobody wants to get off. Tell us the date and what you’re after and we’ll point you at the right one.
Every slide we rent
Heights are the slide height, not the footprint. Give us your setup spot when you contact us and we’ll make sure it fits.

Slide rental questions
How tall are your water slides?

Can a water slide be used dry?
Several of our slides run wet or dry, including the 24-foot Purple Plunge and the 20-foot Surfs Up slides. The 22-foot Multi-Color Double Lane Giant is dry only.
What does a slide need at the setup spot?
Level ground, clearance around the sides, and a dedicated 20 amp circuit outlet for the blower. Wet slides also need a garden hose that reaches. BackYard Carnivals rents portable generators if there’s no power nearby.
How far ahead should I book a water slide?
As soon as you have a date. Summer is the busy season for water slides on the First Coast, so a summer Saturday is the hardest ask. Last-minute calls are still worth making if a unit is free.
What happens if the forecast turns bad?
If severe weather is forecast you have two options. Reschedule 24 hours or more before the event, based on availability, and your deposit is applied as credit to the new date, which must be within 60 days of the original. Or cancel and forfeit the deposit. Full terms are on our Rental Information page.
How do I hold a date?
A deposit of 50% of the rental total holds your date. The balance is due before setup. Full terms are on our Rental
