Beat the Florida Heat with Waterslide Rentals – Your Ultimate Summer Party Guide!
Summer in Florida means one thing: it’s HOT! ☀️ As the temperatures rise, finding fun and safe ways to stay cool becomes a top priority for families, schools, and communities across Lakeland and surrounding areas. Whether you're planning a birthday bash, a backyard BBQ, a school event, or just a fun day with friends, waterslides are hands-down one of the best ways to beat the heat and keep the fun flowing all day long.
At Waterslides Tents & Events, we bring the excitement straight to your backyard with our wide selection of waterslide rentals, bounce houses, tent rentals, and much more. Let's dive into why waterslides are the ultimate summer essential, highlight some of our crowd-favorite inflatables, and share important tips for staying cool and safe under the Florida sun.
Why Waterslides Are a Must-Have for Florida Summers
Florida summers are famously hot and humid, with temperatures easily soaring into the high 90s. A simple trip outside can leave you drenched in sweat! That's why water play is a favorite activity for families and communities across Polk County.
Renting a water slide offers:
-
Instant Refreshment: A cool splash on a sunny day is the ultimate way to stay comfortable outdoors.
-
Active Fun: Kids (and adults!) get exercise while playing, running, and sliding.
-
Safe Entertainment: Supervised water slides provide hours of structured, safe activity.
-
Party Enhancement: Adding a colorful, exciting inflatable turns any gathering into a memorable event.
And don’t worry — at Waterslides Tents & Events, we offer free setup and delivery in Lakeland, Plant City, Auburndale, Winter Haven, and nearby cities!
Stay Cool and Safe This Summer: Essential Tips
While water slides provide loads of fun, it’s important to keep safety and hydration top of mind during your summer event. Here are a few reminders:
Drink Plenty of Water
The Florida sun can dehydrate you fast! Encourage everyone to drink water regularly throughout the party.
Wear Sunscreen
Even if you're in the water, the sun’s UV rays can cause sunburn. Reapply sunscreen every couple of hours — especially after sliding and splashing!
Take Breaks
While it’s tempting to slide non-stop, be sure kids and adults take rest breaks under shaded areas like our tent rentals.
Supervise Younger Children
Assign an adult to monitor the water slide area. Safety is our top priority, and a little supervision goes a long way toward ensuring everyone has a fantastic time.
