From Albany it is 14 miles to Melrose — close enough that we know the roads and the venues. 178 folding chairs and 4 tables, loaded on a trailer, $299 for the whole weekend. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
Melrose is 14 miles from our trailer yard in Albany — about 20 minutes. That is close enough that we can usually deliver at no extra charge. 14 miles means the tow is not really a factor in your decision. Do whichever is easier on the day.
With about 3,607 residents, Melrose is big enough to have real venues and a steady run of events, but small enough that your party is not a rounding error to whoever takes the booking. Melrose runs a full calendar — graduations, weddings, fundraisers, company events — and the venues here are used to outside rentals rolling in.
We cover Melrose as part of a run through Stearns County that also takes in Meire Grove, New Munich and Greenwald, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. Flat pricing means you can budget the party before you know the final headcount — which is the order people actually plan in. The person reading your request is the person who loads the trailer. Nothing gets relayed.
Bounce houses are the one thing we never hand off on a trailer. We deliver to Melrose, place it, anchor it and test it before we leave, then come back and take it down. That is not an upsell — an unanchored inflatable is genuinely dangerous in Minnesota wind, and staking it correctly is not a job to learn on the day of your kid's birthday.
What we need from you in Melrose: a reasonably flat patch of grass, a few feet of clearance on every side, and an outdoor outlet within about 100 feet. If you are not sure your yard works, describe it in the booking form and we will tell you honestly.
Most Melrose bookings that start as a bounce house end up needing chairs too, because the parents who bring the kids need somewhere to sit. The trailer package is $299 for the weekend with 178 chairs and 4 tables, and booking both at once means one form and one schedule to keep track of.
$299 for the weekend gets you all 178 folding chairs and 4 tables as one bundle, whether you use forty of them or all of them. A $200 refundable deposit holds the date. Delivery to Melrose is separate and quoted by distance — free delivery applies here.
Always. We deliver to Melrose, place it, anchor it and test it, then take it down afterwards. We do not let bounce houses go out on the customer-tow trailer — anchoring one correctly matters too much.
A reasonably flat patch of grass with clearance around it, and an outdoor outlet within about 100 feet for the blower. Describe your yard in the form and we will tell you honestly whether it will work.
About 14 miles from Albany, roughly a 20-minute drive. You are practically next door.
A 2-5/16 inch ball and a vehicle rated to tow an enclosed trailer — most half-ton pickups and full-size SUVs handle it without any trouble. If you are unsure whether your vehicle is up to it, tell us what you drive in the booking form.
Yes. Free delivery applies to Melrose, which is 14 miles from Albany. Bounce houses are always delivered, anchored and set up by us — we never hand those off.
Come by Albany and look at it. We would rather you knew what you were getting than guessed from a photo.
Friday is standard for a weekend booking, but if the trailer is free Thursday you can often have it then at no extra charge. It depends who has it before you.
For a whole weekend, we think so, and the arithmetic is public: $299 across 178 chairs is $1.68 a chair for the entire weekend. Companies that price per chair per day multiply that by however many days you keep them. Get a quote from anyone else and compare the weekend total, not the daily rate — that is where the difference shows up.
