School Field Day Carnivals in Jacksonville, FL

Some campuses have a field and some have a courtyard and a gym. The midway works on any of them, because eight booths need level ground and an outlet rather than open acreage.

What a school day with a midway looks like.

Two numbers decide everything: how long a period runs, and how many students leave the building at once. Give us those and the layout follows.

A grade at a time

Classes cycle through in waves. Nobody queues, and every group gets the same amount of playing time.

The whole school at once

Possible, and it needs more tents and more staff than the standard packages carry. Priced to enrollment.

Paved space instead of turf

A basketball court or a service courtyard takes booths perfectly well, and drains faster afterward.

Inside when the sky opens

A gym keeps the day alive rather than moving it. Height for the tents is the only question worth asking early.

What arrives at your campus.

We get there before your first block, build the midway, work every booth through the session, and pack out. No teacher ends up running a game.

  • Striped 10x10 booth tents, raised and struck by our crew
  • Four to eight classic booth games, depending on the package
  • Trained hosts working every booth, not equipment left with your staff
  • A sticker for every student who plays
  • Music through the session
  • Setup and cleanup, usually about 45 minutes on each end

Jacksonville school field day pricing.

Packages are set by tent count, which decides how many games run and how many students we can keep moving. A single grade or a camp group usually fits the packages below. A full-school field day scales past them, with more tents and more hosts, priced to your enrollment and your schedule. Tell us both and we will size it.

"Our school hired this carnival for our fall festival and they were AMAZING! They set everything up and took everything down , flawless customer service, and most importantly the families loved the games and experience! From top to bottom five star service."

Why schools book a midway instead of one inflatable.

Everyone plays at once

Eight booths running in parallel beats one queue. Fewer students standing still, fewer behaviour problems.

We bring all of it

Tents, games, sound, and stickers, plus the crew. You provide flat space and a standard outlet.

K through 5 on one rotation

Difficulty adjusts booth by booth, so kindergarteners and fifth-graders play the same games without splitting the day.

Spring dates go first

April and May book earliest here. Schools can hold a date on a purchase order, so procurement timing does not cost you the slot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our campus has no open field. Does that rule us out?
Not at all. A basketball court, a paved courtyard, or a gym all take the booths, and hard surfaces drain better after rain than grass does. Show us the space you have and we will lay the midway out to fit it.
Do you need a purchase order before the date?
A purchase order is the usual way schools hold a date with us, and we can also complete vendor registration and supply a W-9 and a certificate of insurance naming the school or district. Send us whatever your front office needs.
How do you handle a rain date for a school?
We agree one when you book rather than negotiating it in a downpour. If your indoor space works we can often move inside instead of moving the date, which schools usually prefer, since the calendar is the hardest thing to change.
Can you serve a school outside the city limits?
Yes. Our area covers Greater Jacksonville and the First Coast, which reaches well past the city line. A travel fee depends on the distance, and we will confirm it against your address before anything is committed.
What does a teacher have to do on the day?
Bring the class over and stay with them. Our hosts run every booth, explain each game, and hand out the stickers, so supervision stays with you and the running of it does not.
