HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SET UP/INFLATE/DEFLATE/PACK UP THE INFLATABLE?
The jumping castles take approx 15 minutes to set up and 20 minutes to pack up. However this is only an estimate, times may vary depending on which castle you hire.

The jumping castle can go on grass, dirt, concrete, paving or asphalt as long as the area is flat, and there are no ridges (i.e.: between a change of surface).
