When Is An Obstacle A Good Thing?

As adults, obstacles are things that get in our way – the fewer we encounter in our day, the better.  But have you noticed how kids LOVE obstacles?!  In particular, obstacle courses.  Whether it’s the fun of testing themselves to see what they can accomplish, or the thrill of competition, kids seem to want to do obstacle courses over and over and over.

An obstacle course can be a great addition to your Chicago area birthday party or family oriented event.  Our 58-foot “Rat Race” inflatable obstacle course is big, colorful, and full of character!  Your kids’ eyes will light up the first time they see it, and their smiles as they exit will make for a perfect photo opportunity.




A Moon Jump 4U, a division of AMJ Spectacular Events, has been renting inflatable bounce houses and obstacle courses to families, organizations, and businesses around Chicago and northeast Illinois (and as far away as Wisconsin and Indiana!) since 2004.  Contact us today to check on availability!

Thinking Of Renting A Mobile Zipline For Your Next Chicago Event?

Zipline Rental in Chicago IllinoisMobile ziplines are one of the most exciting products available for rental these days, but if you’ve just rented simple bounce houses in the past, you may be wary of these big, complicated machines.

First, are they really scary?  Of course!!  That’s the whole point!!  But as the person in charge of the event, YOU don’t have to be scared – and here’s why…

The biggest issue with mobile ziplines is keeping the rider off the ground at all times.  There are multiple, redundant systems throughout the product which ensure this.  Wondering how riders get off at the end?  There’s a machine which keeps tension on the zip line until they’re done, then safely lowers them to the ground.  While this is happening, the doors on the tower are not able to open.  Ingenious!

Naturally, no machine is safe if the operators are untrained or unprofessional!  In the Chicago area, you can trust A Moon Jump 4-U & AMJ Spectacular Events to provide the right people as well as the right equipment.  Contact us today with your questions or for a quote, by calling us at 630-833-4386, or by emailing us 24/7 at sales@amjse.com.  But first, click on the video below to see a Mobile Zip Line in action!
