Beat the Orange County Heat Wave: Water Slide and Combo Bounce House Rentals for Summer 2025
Hey Orange County families!
As we role into September amid a prolonged heat wave that's pushed temperatures 5-10 degrees above normal and is expected to linger into Labor Day weekend and early September, parents are looking for ways to keep kids cool during backyard parties or playdates.[1][2]
At Gold Star Jumpers (EST. 2013), we're licensed, insured, and ready to help with rentals that bring cool relief to spots in Anaheim, Irvine, Huntington Beach and throughout Orange County and surrounding areas.
Here's an easy-to-follow guide with some helpful tips on our water slide rentals, combo bounce houses with water slides, package deals, concessions, and supplies for handling the OC extended summer heat in 2025, with a focus on safe, enjoyable options.
Why Choose Water Slide and Combo Bounce House Rentals for the OC Heat Wave?
Southern California's current extreme heat warnings, with highs in the 80s-90s°F and possible record-breaking days, turn outdoor time into a challenge, especially over the holiday weekend.[3][4]
Water slides and combos provide a fun way to stay refreshed while playing, and health experts suggest activities like this to ease heat stress.[5]
Our selections offer wet/dry flexibility and built-in safety for simple setup and peace of mind.

Essential Water Slide and Combo Rental Tips for Orange County Heat Waves
Here's how to make the most of it:
Focus on Staying Cool and Safe:
Remind everyone to drink water and take breaks in the hottest parts of the day (like 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.)—the CDC recommends shade and short play sessions to avoid issues.[6] A market umbrella ($30, 9' tall with 72" spread) helps with that.
Basic Setup Advice:
Use wet modes for the best chill; place on even ground and tie it down tight—group kids by age to minimize mishaps, and keep shoes out.[7]
Add Power and Extras:
A generator ($75) powers things in out-of-the-way spots or for popcorn machines ($75, 72 servings); linens ($13.25) keep tables clean.
Plan Ahead:
Heat like this means rentals go fast, so grab them soon—bundles like Summertime #1 wrap up the essentials without extra trips.
FAQ Common Questions About Water Slide and Combo Rentals During Heat Waves
How do I know if a rental is right for my yard size?
Measure your space first—most of our combos and slides need about 20-35 feet in length and 15 feet in width, plus room for safe entry and exit. If you're tight on space, go for a mini option like the Tropical 5-1.
What's the difference between wet and dry modes?
Wet mode adds water for splashing and sliding, which is great for hot days, while dry keeps it bounce-focused for cooler times or indoor use. Many of our combos, like the Pink Unicorn, have both for flexibility.
Do you provide setup and takedown?
Yes, our team handles delivery, setup, and pickup so you don't have to worry. Just make sure the area is clear and accessible.
Can I add more items to a package?
Absolutely—customize with extras like additional concessions or umbrellas. Give us a call to tweak things for your group.
What if the weather changes?
Our wet/dry rentals adapt easily, and we monitor forecasts. If needed, we can reschedule or adjust—safety comes first.
How many kids can play at once?
It varies by unit: smaller combos fit 4-6, while larger ones handle up to 8-10. We recommend grouping by age for the best experience.
