Rent the 38-Foot Kids Obstacle Course in DFW Texas
The 38-Foot Kids Obstacle Course is the only obstacle course in the Inflatable Party Magic fleet that runs on a single outlet and needs only one adult supervisor. Every other course in the catalog requires two or more circuits and two supervisors. This one requires one of each — which makes it the obstacle course that works in situations where every other course in the fleet hits a logistics wall. One outdoor outlet on one circuit. One parent or volunteer watching the course. Thirty-eight feet of dual-lane kid-level competition with vertical pop-ups, crawl-throughs, squeeze tubes, a tire race, a wall climb, and a slide finish. Ages 3 to 12. At $347 it is the lowest price of any obstacle course in the fleet by a significant margin. Browse the full obstacle course rental catalog in DFW Texas to see all options — but for kids-focused events where simplicity of setup and operation is the priority, no other course in the catalog matches this one.
The squeeze tubes are the obstacle detail that distinguishes this course from every other option in the fleet. No other obstacle course — not the Excalibur, not the Space Shuttle, not the Zip It — includes squeeze tubes. Squeeze tubes require competitors to compress their bodies through a tight passage, which rewards smaller, more flexible participants and creates a genuine challenge for anyone who expects to coast through on size or speed alone. Combined with vertical pop-ups, crawl-throughs, and the tire race, the 38-foot course packs five distinct obstacle types into a footprint that fits in almost any backyard, park space, or event area where a longer course cannot go. We deliver and set up the 38-Foot Kids Obstacle Course across Crowley obstacle course rentals, Grandview obstacle course rentals, and Rio Vista obstacle course rentals — and 50+ cities across the DFW metroplex.
The two-piece configuration needs just one 110v outlet on one 12-amp circuit within 100 feet of the setup location. One adult supervisor manages the full course safely. Every section is inspected annually by the Texas Department of Insurance, built from lead-free fire-retardant vinyl, and sanitized between every rental. We bring our own rated extension cord — you do not need to provide one. Review our complete safety standards before your event day.

Why the 38-Foot Kids Course Is the Most Accessible Obstacle Course in the Fleet
Only 1 Outlet Required — Every Other Course Needs 2 or More
This is the only obstacle course in the Inflatable Party Magic catalog that runs on a single 12-amp outlet. Most residential backyards, small parks, and church lawns have exactly one outdoor outlet. Every other obstacle course in the fleet eliminates itself from those venues by needing two or more separate circuits. The 38-foot course plugs into one outlet and runs. That's it.
Only 1 Supervisor Required — Solo Parents Can Run This Course
Every other obstacle course in the fleet requires two adult supervisors — one at each end. The 38-foot course requires only one. At a small backyard birthday party where the hosting parent is also running the event, finding a second dedicated supervisor isn't always easy. This course is designed so one attentive adult can safely manage the full operation without a second volunteer locked into a position at the other end.
Squeeze Tubes — The Only Course in the Fleet With This Obstacle
Squeeze tubes appear on the 38-foot course and nowhere else in the obstacle course catalog. Competitors must compress themselves through a tight passage — which rewards smaller, flexible kids and genuinely challenges anyone who rushes through expecting easy passage. It's the obstacle that creates the most unexpected results in head-to-head races, and it's exclusive to this course.
Lowest Price in the Catalog — $347
At $347, the 38-foot course is the most affordable obstacle course in the fleet — $58 below the next-lowest options and more than $250 below the longer courses. For birthday parties and smaller events where the full budget needs to stretch across a bounce house, tables, and food, the 38-foot course puts a complete dual-lane obstacle course within reach without consuming the rental budget.
39-Foot Setup Length — Fits Almost Anywhere
The setup footprint is 39 feet long by 14 feet wide — the most compact obstacle course with a wall climb and slide in the fleet. Backyards that rule out every longer course often have 39 feet available in some direction. Side yards, narrow lawn runs between structures, park sections with trees at either end — the 38-foot course fits where no other course in the catalog can go.
Five Obstacle Types in 38 Feet — Nothing Wasted
Vertical pop-ups, crawl-throughs, squeeze tubes, a tire race, and a wall climb with a slide finish — five distinct challenge types across 38 feet. Every obstacle tests a different physical skill. No filler sections, no repeated obstacle types. The course density per foot is high enough that kids who complete it feel like they ran something substantial, not something small.
How the 38-Foot Kids Obstacle Course Works
1
Enter Through the Crawl Holes
Both competitors crawl into the course at the start. The race drops them into a crawl immediately — no standing entry, no warmup stretch. One supervisor watches the entry and signals both competitors at the same moment.
2
Pop-Ups, Crawl-Throughs, Squeeze Tubes
Vertical pop-up obstacles and crawl-throughs fill the early section. Squeeze tubes follow — this is where the race gets unpredictable. Smaller kids who compress quickly can gain ground here that bigger competitors cannot recover easily.
3
Tire Race and Wall Climb
The tire agility run shifts the physical demand back to footwork. The wall climb at the finish end tests the remaining energy both competitors have after the obstacles. First one over the wall controls the slide.
4
Down the Slide to the Finish
The slide ends the course. The same supervisor at the entry sees both competitors from start to finish — the 38-foot length makes the full course visible from one position. Next pair steps in immediately and the cycle continues all day.

Setup Requirements and How to Book the 38-Foot Kids Obstacle Course
Space and Access Requirements
The 38-foot course needs 39 feet of length and 14 feet of width on flat, level ground — the smallest setup footprint of any obstacle course in the fleet. At 39 feet, this fits in spaces that eliminate every other obstacle course in the catalog. Confirm 14 feet of width in addition to 39 feet of length. Grass is ideal for anchoring. Concrete and asphalt work with sandbag anchoring. If your space is unusually shaped, call (817) 800-8618 before booking.
Electrical Requirements — One 12-Amp Circuit
One 110v outlet on one 12-amp breaker circuit within 100 feet of the setup location. This is the simplest electrical requirement of any obstacle course in the fleet. We bring our own rated 100-foot extension cord — you do not need to provide one. One standard outdoor outlet is all the 38-foot course needs to run. No circuit juggling, no panel checking, no generator discussion required for most homes.

Have a question about whether this course fits your space or budget situation? Call (817) 800-8618 for an honest recommendation.
Supervision — One Adult Can Run This Course
One adult supervisor is required. At 38 feet long, the full course is visible from a single position — the entry end allows one supervisor to see the starting crawl holes, the obstacle sections, and the approach to the wall and slide simultaneously. This is the only obstacle course in the fleet where one person can safely manage the entire operation. Every section is inspected annually by the Texas Department of Insurance. Read our inflatable supervision guide before the event.
Best Events for the 38-Foot Kids Obstacle Course Rental
Small Backyard Birthday Parties
This is the obstacle course for the party that has one outdoor outlet, a parent running things solo, a yard that fits 39 feet in its best direction, and a budget that needs to stretch to cover other party expenses. The 38-foot course checks every one of those boxes. For kids aged 3 to 12 at a home birthday party, nothing in the catalog fits the typical residential situation as cleanly as this course does.
Preschool and Daycare Events
The age-3 minimum and kid-scaled obstacle design make this the right obstacle course for preschool graduation parties, daycare end-of-year celebrations, and pre-K school events. The squeeze tubes and crawl sections are particularly well-suited for younger children who move quickly through tight spaces. One supervisor manages the whole course — which fits the typical small-group daycare event staffing model.
Elementary School Events With Limited Power Access
School outdoor areas with limited electrical access — portable buildings with one exterior outlet, park settings without panel access, or covered areas with a single circuit — have exactly one obstacle course option in the fleet that works within those constraints. The 38-foot course runs on one outlet without any workarounds. We handle vendor approval for schools and carry all required COI documentation.
Church Events in Tight Outdoor Spaces
Church courtyards, fellowship hall side yards, and parking lot corners that don't fit a 52-foot-and-longer course often fit 39 feet. VBS programs, children's ministry events, and church family nights that want a competitive kids' activity but face venue constraints find the 38-foot course the only catalog option that clears their space.
Budget-First Events That Still Want an Obstacle Course
At $347, the 38-foot course leaves room in the budget to add a bounce house, dunk tank, or tables and chairs alongside it. The next-lowest obstacle courses are $405. School PTOs, non-profit organizations, and community groups running events on tight budgets can add a complete dual-lane obstacle course with a wall climb and slide at a price point that every other course in the fleet cannot match.
Second Activity Station at Larger Events
Larger events running a full-size obstacle course alongside a bounce house and other attractions sometimes need a second competitive station for overflow. The 38-foot course fits in the gaps that longer obstacle courses cannot fill. Its single-outlet, single-supervisor operation means it doesn't compete for electrical or volunteer resources already committed to the larger attractions.
Apartment Complex and HOA Events
Pool areas, clubhouse lawns, and HOA common areas with a single outdoor outlet and limited green space often can't accommodate the longer obstacle courses. The 38-foot footprint and single-outlet requirement make it the most apartment-complex-compatible obstacle course in the fleet for community events and resident appreciation days.
Fall Festivals and Trunk-or-Treat Events
Fall festivals and trunk-or-treat events at church parking lots and school grounds often have tight layouts with limited power access. The 38-foot course with a single outlet slides into spaces between other activities without consuming additional electrical or volunteer resources — making it the practical add-on for events that want a physical activity station without the logistics overhead of the larger courses.
Complete Your Event with These Popular Additions
The $347 price point leaves real budget for a bounce house alongside the obstacle course — giving younger kids two separate activity stations at a combined price that fits most party budgets.
A dunk tank gives parents and spectators their own activity to engage with while kids cycle through the obstacle course.
Shade and seating for parents watching the races. Essential for any outdoor Texas event once the temperature climbs past mid-morning.
Bundle the 38-foot course with other rentals at package pricing — the lowest price in the obstacle course catalog creates real room for adding other attractions.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 38-Foot Kids Obstacle Course
Why does this course only need one outlet when every other obstacle course needs two or more?
The 38-foot course runs on a single blower rather than the multiple blowers required by longer multi-section courses. At 38 feet and two pieces, one blower provides sufficient pressure to maintain both sections and the wall structure. Every other obstacle course in the fleet is three or more sections requiring multiple blowers and therefore multiple circuits. The single-blower design isn't a compromise — it is the natural result of building an obstacle course at this footprint and section count, and it's what makes the 38-foot course uniquely accessible for single-outlet locations.
What are squeeze tubes and why don't other obstacle courses have them?
Squeeze tubes are tight passage obstacles where competitors must compress their body through a constricted tube rather than crawling through an open tunnel or under a barrier. They require flexibility and body control rather than speed or strength — which is why smaller, more agile kids frequently outperform larger competitors through this section. The squeeze tube is listed in the obstacle features for the 38-foot course and does not appear in any other course description in the fleet. It is one of the features that makes the 38-foot course feel complete despite its shorter length — the obstacle variety is high for the distance.
How does the 38-foot course compare to the Excalibur, Space Shuttle, and Zip It?
The Excalibur and Space Shuttle are both 52-foot themed courses starting at age 3 — 14 feet longer than the 38-foot, with a taller wall and slide, needing two outlets and two supervisors at $405. The Zip It is 50 feet with two climbing walls, starting at age 5, needing two outlets and two supervisors at $415. The 38-foot course is 12 to 14 feet shorter, needs one outlet and one supervisor, has squeeze tubes found nowhere else, costs $347, and is the only catalog option for venues with one outdoor outlet. Choose the 38-foot when the single-outlet requirement or single-supervisor constraint is the real deciding factor.
Can teens or adults run the 38-foot obstacle course?
The CMS specifically states the course is commercial-grade and that teens and adults are welcome to participate — the age rating of 3 to 12 is for the fun factor, not a physical restriction. Adults can complete the course, but the obstacle dimensions — particularly the squeeze tubes and crawl sections — are sized for children and will be noticeably tighter for larger bodies. Most adults race it once or twice and declare it harder than they expected before stepping aside to let the kids have the line. Your entry supervisor makes the call if any participant looks too large for the squeeze tube sections.
