Obstacle Course Rentals
Obstacle courses keep guests climbing, crawling, and racing to the finish line. Our inflatable courses come packed with tunnels, climbing elements, pop-ups, and slides, including the new modular Ninja Run series.
Book one section for a backyard party. For school field days, church festivals, and company events, link several sections into one long course.
Bounce House Rentals
Bounce houses remain the classic birthday pick because kids burn energy while adults relax nearby. We carry a range of sizes and themes, including open-sided designs that give parents a clear view from every angle.
Our standard 15' x 15' units need about 15' x 15' of flat space and one 20-amp circuit, so most backyards work just fine.
Bounce House and Slide Combos
Can't decide between bouncing and sliding? A combo settles the debate. Each unit packs a jump area, a climb, and a slide into one inflatable.
Kids get more ways to play, and you avoid booking two separate attractions. Combos make a smart value pick for birthdays and neighborhood parties.
Carnival Game Rentals
With over 100 games in stock, carnival games rank among Acme's biggest specialties. Choose from tabletop tosses and case games to premium midway attractions, plus new additions like Frogger Launch, Milk Can Toss, and Down a Duck.
Schools, churches, and fundraisers can build a complete midway from a single order. Add a popcorn machine, and the carnival smells right too.
Mechanical Bull Rentals
Few attractions draw a crowd faster than a mechanical bull. The controls adjust to each rider's skill, so the ride can start gentle for first-timers and ramp up for the brave (or the overconfident).
Our bulls fit graduation parties, college events, festivals, and western-themed celebrations. Plan for an 18' x 18' space and two 20-amp circuits, and note that riders must stand at least 48 inches tall and sign a waiver.
Arcade and Hi-Tech Game Rentals
Turn any room into an arcade with electronic and LED games built for indoor events. Our lineup of over 20 games, including the fast-paced Battle Light Gamer, fits bar and bat mitzvahs, first communions, teen parties, and corporate events.
Quick rounds keep lines moving, and competitive scoring brings guests back for one more try.
Inflatable Slide Rentals
Tall inflatable slides move a lot of riders quickly, which makes them a favorite at festivals, schools, and company picnics. Our slides run dry, so they work in spring, in fall, and on any day nobody wants to get soaked.
Planning a splash instead? The water category below has you covered.
Water Game and Water Slide Rentals
Michigan summers get hot, and water attractions cool a crowd down fast. Our water slides and dunk tanks steal the show at camps, graduation parties, and school fun days, especially when the principal takes the dunk tank seat.
Warm-weather weekends fill quickly. Reserve June through August dates as early as you can.
Game Show Rentals
Game Show Mania puts guests on a real contestant panel with extra-large buzzer buttons, adjustable microphones, and LED arrows that show who buzzed in first. LED scoring and sound effects complete the experience.
It works well for team-building, school events, and indoor parties where the audience wants in on the action.
Photo Booth Rentals
A photo booth hands guests a keepsake and a reason to gather. Our social media photo booth lets guests snap and share on the spot, and it fits weddings, graduations, corporate events, and milestone birthdays.
Concession Machine Rentals
Nothing says carnival quite like the smell of fresh popcorn. We rent popcorn, cotton candy, and snow cone machines, the perfect pairing for carnivals, fundraisers, birthdays, and company picnics.
Party Entertainers
Live entertainers keep guests engaged between attractions. Acme books clowns, magicians, face painters, balloon twisters, caricaturists, henna and airbrush tattoo artists, fortune tellers, jugglers, puppet shows, and fire artists.
Worried about clown-shy kids? Our clowns and face painters can arrive in plain clothes, without makeup.
Tables and Chair Rentals
Cover the practical side of your event with tables and chairs for guest seating, food service, and check-in areas. Add them to the same order as your entertainment and cross one more errand off the list.
Promotional and Advertising Rentals
Grand openings and customer appreciation days need attention, and promotional rentals deliver it. Our lineup includes sky dancers and a cash cube money machine that turns a prize giveaway into a show.
Dealerships, retailers, and event organizers use them to pull traffic in from the street.
Pickup & Save Party Rentals
Own a minivan? You could save on your next party. Pickup & Save lets you collect eligible items from our Farmington Hills warehouse at a discounted rate, with no delivery fees and flexible pickup and return times.
Over 120 items qualify, including bounce houses, combos, carnival games, competitive games, and concessions, and many come with extended daily or weekend rental periods. You'll need a minivan, SUV, or pickup truck, and our setup videos walk you through each step.

Party Rentals
for Events of Every Size
The right rental lineup matches your crowd, space, and schedule. Here's what works best for each occasion.
Birthday Parties and Graduation Parties
Birthdays usually start with one anchor attraction, like a bounce house or combo. Add a yard greeting out front, and guests will never drive past the wrong house again.
Graduation parties skew older, so mechanical bulls, competitive games, and water slides fit well. Since guests come and go all afternoon, choose attractions people can enjoy in quick turns.
School Carnivals and Field Days
School events need volume. With over 100 carnival games available, a PTO can fill an entire midway from one order.
Field days lean on obstacle courses, competitive games, and inflatable slides that move big groups quickly. Add a dunk tank with a teacher in the seat, and expect a very long line.
Church Festivals and Community Events
Festivals draw every age group, so variety beats size. Pair a bounce house for young children, carnival games for families, and a game show or photo booth for adults.
Concessions give volunteers an easy fundraising station. For multi-hour events, several smaller attractions spread the crowd out and shorten lines.
Corporate Events and Company Picnics
Company picnics were Acme's original specialty. Competitive games, obstacle courses, and a mechanical bull energize adults, while bounce houses keep kids busy nearby.
Indoor events and team-building days bring the competition inside with arcade games and Game Show Mania. For customer appreciation days, sky dancers and a cash cube pull traffic in from the street.
College Events and Student Activities
College crowds want something worth posting about. Mechanical bulls, giant obstacle courses, and arcade games make strong picks for welcome week, homecoming, and late-night programming.
Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and Family Celebrations
Bar and bat mitzvahs, first communions, and family milestones often happen at indoor venues, where hi-tech rentals shine. Arcade games, a game show, and a photo booth keep teens entertained between dinner and the dance floor.
Add a caricaturist or magician so grandparents get in on the fun too. Acme delivers to the ground floor only, so confirm elevator access if the party sits upstairs.
Why Michigan Event Planners Choose Acme Partyworks
Michigan event planners choose Acme Partyworks for three decades of experience, a deep inventory, and equipment that shows up clean and ready. The family business started in a Farmington Hills garage in 1992.
Inventory depth makes planning for mixed ages easy. With over 100 carnival games, nearly 100 competitive games, and over 20 arcade games, one call can cover toddlers, teens, and adults.
Customers mention reliability most. A summer camp that books Acme every season credits the crew with on-time delivery and setup, and Acme's full liability and workers' compensation coverage satisfies schools, cities, and corporate clients when they vet vendors.

Planning Your Michigan Party Rental
Planning a party rental with Acme takes four steps: explore the inventory, share your event details, review availability and pricing, then confirm delivery or pickup. Having a few details ready speeds up every step.
1. Explore the Inventory
Browse the categories above and note the space and power requirements listed on each product page. Add your favorites to the quote list, which works like a shopping cart minus the checkout.
2. Tell Us About Your Event
Share your date, address, guest count, and participant ages. Our office answers calls from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and walk-in visits are by appointment only.
3. Review Availability and Pricing
We confirm which items are open on your date and send pricing, including delivery rates. Want a ballpark figure first? Download the 2026 price list.
4. Confirm Delivery or Pickup
Lock in delivery, or pick up eligible Pickup & Save items from our Farmington Hills warehouse. Picking up yourself? Watch our setup instruction videos before event day.
What to Have Ready Before You Book
| Detail | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Event date and hours | Determines availability and rental length |
| Event address | Sets delivery rates and confirms your area |
| Guest count and ages | Guides attraction choice and quantity; mechanical bull riders must be at least 48 inches tall |
| Indoor or outdoor | Indoor venues often suit arcade and hi-tech games; check ceiling height for inflatables |
| Available space | A standard 15' x 15' bounce house needs roughly 15' x 15' x 10' of clear space |
| Surface type | Grass, pavement, and indoor floors each affect setup |
| Power access | Many inflatables need a dedicated 20-amp circuit, and the mechanical bull needs two |
| Water access | Water slides and dunk tanks need a hose nearby |
| Stairs or elevators | Delivery goes to the ground floor only |
| Delivery or pickup | Pickup & Save lowers costs on eligible items |
One more planning tip: our rental terms require an attendant, age 16 or older, to supervise each attraction throughout the event. Line up your volunteers or staff before party day so nobody gets drafted at the last minute.

Clean, Maintained and Event-Ready Equipment
Acme cleans, repairs, and replaces its inflatables, games, and delivery vehicles on a daily maintenance schedule to meet or exceed manufacturer and insurance guidelines. Safety comes first here: in 2000, Acme retired Sumo Wrestling, one of its most popular rentals, over injury concerns. WDIV Channel 4 later interviewed the team about inflatable safety.
Follow these event-day rules to keep everyone safe:
- Keep food, candy, silly string, sand, mud, and paint off inflatables (cleaning fees start at $75).
- Have an attendant age 16 or older supervise each attraction.
- If a unit starts to deflate, clear riders and check the power cord and blower intake.
- Shut attractions down during high winds, heavy rain, or lightning.
