For families and event planners across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Busy Bee Jumpers is the name that has become synonymous with safe, reliable fun. With a fleet of over 45 trucks and thousands of five-star reviews, this family-run franchise delivers bounce houses, water slides, tents, tables and more directly to backyards, schools and organizations across the region — and handles every detail of setup and takedown so customers can focus on enjoying the day.
Founded in 1998, the company originally started as a side business for two daycare centers. Over time, demand for rentals exploded, prompting Busy Bee to pivot and go all-in on inflatables. Since then, it has grown into one of the largest bounce house and party rental providers in the country.
“After about 10 years, we put our full focus on the business and saw exponential growth,” said Sal Longo, owner of Busy Bee Jumpers. “As we better understood the industry, we streamlined our offerings, focused on what worked, and expanded beyond backyards to schools, churches, municipalities and camps. That focus has helped us grow into one of the largest bounce house operators in the country.”
Whether it’s a birthday bash, school field day, church fair or company picnic, Busy Bee offers a full-service rental experience that prioritizes safety, cleanliness and reliability, all backed by years of operational excellence and local trust.
Busy Bee Jumpers stands out in a crowded market of bounce house providers by offering a more polished and dependable experience. It’s not just about renting a bounce house, it’s about knowing that someone will answer the phone, show up on time and deliver on their promises. The team’s professionalism and attention to detail have made Busy Bee a favorite for families and institutions alike.
“We fill that void of being more of a trusted partner,” Longo said. “We’re fully licensed and insured with the strictest safety programs in place. We have an incredibly safe driving record and slender vehicles. It’s just a very professional approach. The norm in this industry is very fractured, and we’re the complete opposite. We’re open seven days a week, and we have people on call to help, even for last-minute rentals when the other service providers don’t show up.”
Unlike many small, seasonal providers, Busy Bee is fully licensed and insured, with safety protocols, streamlined communication and a responsive support team available seven days a week. From the moment a customer books online or by phone, they’re taken care of with reminders, flexible add-ons, and even free cancellations up to the morning of the event.
Rather than trying to offer everything under the sun, Busy Bee has spent decades refining its product line to what customers want: vibrant, safe, easy-to-use inflatables in a wide range of themes, plus the tents, tables and chairs needed to complete the event.
The team has eliminated harder-to-maintain or underperforming rentals — like ice cream trucks and movie screens — and put its energy into inflatables that deliver maximum impact with minimal hassle. Combo bounce houses, wet/dry slides and obstacle courses make up the brand’s most popular categories, and each is meticulously cleaned, transported and installed.
“As we started understanding the business and the industry better, we streamlined our operations and product offerings,” Longo said. “We liquidated things like our ice cream trucks, trackless trains and movie screens, and focused on bounce houses, water slides, obstacle courses — the things people actually want.
With themes ranging from dinosaurs and princesses to superheroes and construction trucks, there’s something to excite every child. Add-ons like popcorn, snow cones and cotton candy can take any party to the next level.
Busy Bee Jumpers is more than just an inflatable rental company, it’s a customer service company that happens to deliver inflatables. The brand has invested in backend technology to ensure a seamless customer experience, from pre-event texting to post-event pickup without disruption.
“Text-based client communication is all driven through our app,” Longo said. “It’s super helpful for that busy mom, that busy dad, that busy recreation department leader, or whatever end-user we’re working with, because we’re able to keep them updated every step of the way.”
The team doesn’t just meet expectations, they aim to exceed them. For town events and corporate functions, that means working within tight delivery windows. For parents throwing a backyard birthday, that means early drop-offs and fast, quiet takedowns. For all clients, it means no surprises and no stress.
“They know that when they partner with Busy Bee, they’re our top priority,” Longo said. “We offer free cancellation, and we’ll do anything we can to be front and center for their event. Whether that means getting there the day before for a party or hitting a tight delivery window for a community event.”
Busy Bee’s reliability has earned it repeat business across public and private sectors alike. Today, it services over 110 cities and towns, including Greater Boston, the South Shore, Metro West and Worcester County, as well as parts of Rhode Island.
Clients include schools, municipalities, fire departments, recreation departments and after-school programs — all of which trust Busy Bee to provide fun, safe, scalable entertainment options for children and families.
“We work with hundreds of schools across the state of Massachusetts and so many after-school programs and recreation departments,” Longo said. “They see our offerings as a very safe, effective way to entertain children in a healthy way, and that trust is what keeps them coming back.”
The company’s growth reflects the increasing demand for safe, screen-free, outdoor fun, which is a trend that continues to accelerate. With kids needing more time to play outside and parents looking for turnkey options, Busy Bee’s offering hits the mark.
After decades of success in New England, Busy Bee Jumpers is expanding through franchising. With systems in place, professional training and technology that supports scalable growth, the brand is targeting warm-weather markets like Texas, Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, where inflatables can be rented year-round.
“Strategically over the next three years, I’d like to have another 15 operations open,” Longo said. “We’re seeing real demand. I’ve had operators approach me asking if Busy Bee would buy them out. The way we’re built, the way we operate - it’s positioned us for scalable growth, especially in markets where we can run year-round.”
Whether it’s a backyard birthday party in Quincy or a school carnival in Providence, Busy Bee Jumpers has built its business on reliability, trust and joy. And now, with new markets on the horizon, more families across the country will soon get to experience the buzz.
