What do we need to provide on our end?
Just a flat, level area and access to a standard garden hose nearby. We bring, fill, and drain the tank ourselves — you don't need to do a thing.
Do you set it up and take it down, or do we do that ourselves?
We handle everything. Our team delivers the tank, sets it up, fills it, and comes back at the end of your event to drain and pick it up.
How far in advance should we book a dunk tank?
As early as possible, especially if your event falls during spring field day season or the busy spring/summer festival months. Weekends fill up first.
What happens if it rains on our event day?
We keep an eye on the forecast and will work with you on rescheduling if severe weather is expected. Details are in our cancellation policy.
Can we combine a dunk tank with other rentals?
Definitely — dunk tanks pair well with bounce houses, water slides, tents, and concessions, and you can often save by bundling them into a package. Give us a call and we'll help you put together the right combination for your event.
