College Crowd-Pleasers: Event Rentals That Actually Get Students to Show Up

Planning college events is no easy task—especially when you’re up against group chats, Netflix, and half the student body pretending they’re too cool to care. But here’s the truth: students do show up when the event actually looks fun.

At BYB Event Services, we help colleges across Kentucky, Indiana, and surrounding states bring energy to campus with rentals that turn passive flyers into real foot traffic. Here are the crowd-pleasers that consistently draw lines (and selfies).

Giant Ferris Wheel – College Event Rentals

It’s a showstopper. Whether it’s welcome week or homecoming, a full-size Ferris Wheel on campus turns any lawn into an instant landmark. Students love it for the photo ops, night lights, and “I can’t believe we have this” energy. Great for student org fairs, late-night programs, and family weekends.

One college in Kentucky used it during a spring carnival, and students were posting about it for days. It became the centerpiece of their entire welcome campaign—and boosted turnout for other events happening that year.

Obstacle Courses & Climbing Attractions

Forget basic bounce houses. Our high-energy attractions like the Ninja Warrior Course, Rock Wall Climb, Euro Bungee, and Free-Fall Stunt Jump are huge hits at campus events. They bring out students’ competitive side and work great for group challenges, Greek life competitions, or intramural promotions.

The variety lets schools scale the intensity based on the audience—from serious climbers to just-for-fun challengers. Events that include these types of activities will keep your university event center packed.

Mechanical Rides with an Edge

Keep students engaged with high-thrill mechanical rides like the Zip Line, Mechanical Bull, and the Round-Up Carnival Ride. These are perfect for large outdoor areas and help your event stand out from every other “free T-shirt” happening on campus.

They’re also extremely flexible. We’ve seen them used at campus-wide spring flings, nighttime glow festivals, and even as the main draw during senior send-offs. Students talk about them for weeks.

Arcade-Style Attractions

When students want to chill but still compete, arcade games are the move. Think LED cornhole tournaments, air hockey, pinball, punching machines, pool tables, and glow-in-the-dark mini golf. These are ideal for indoor events, rec centers, or late-night student union setups.

They work particularly well for all-night programs or themed events like casino nights, student org showcases, and welcome-back celebrations.

Petting Zoo & Goat Yoga

Want to pull a crowd and lower stress levels? Our petting zoo features friendly animals like goats, sheep, and rabbits that create an instant buzz on campus. Students love the break from academics and the chance to just hang out and connect.

Even better? Goat Yoga. This lighthearted activity adds a mix of relaxation and comedy that makes it a perfect finals week de-stress event. It checks all the boxes: low-pressure, social, and selfie-worthy.

Competitive Game Rentals That Fire Up Campus Spirit

Few things bring students together like a little friendly competition. Our wide variety of competitive game rentals are designed to get students moving, laughing, and bonding. From laser tag and sumo suit wrestling to jousting, tug of war, and derby races, these attractions are made for student organizations, Greek life, intramurals, and club competitions.

We also offer a rotating mix of football throws, basketball shootouts, soccer challenges, and head-to-head obstacle races that can be tailored to any theme or audience. Whether it’s team-building or just showing off, these games create the kind of energy that keeps students engaged long after check-in.

Food That Actually Brings Them Out

Never underestimate the power of great food. We offer campus-friendly catering options like burgers, picnic spreads, nachos, roasted corn, funnel cakes, and even full concession stands.

Combining food with high-energy rentals gives students a reason to stay longer and mingle. Food stations can also help pace your event and reduce wait times at rides and attractions.

Bonus: Planning Tips for College Events That Stick

  • Mix one “wow factor” (like a Ferris Wheel or Zip Line) with smaller interactive elements
  • Offer variety—something physical, something visual, and something to eat
  • Book early for peak dates like move-in week, homecoming, and finals
  • Create designated selfie zones with your campus mascot or event hashtag
  • Promote through multiple channels: student leaders, clubs, and res life

Make It an Event Students Talk About

If you’re tired of low turnout or another “free pizza and trivia” night, it’s time to upgrade your attraction game. We work with campus event planners, RAs, and student life coordinators to build unforgettable experiences that fit your budget and schedule.

It’s not just a ride; it’s an attraction that ties your whole event together visually.

But wait, there’s more! For corporate events or branded festivals, you can even customize the Ferris Wheel with your own branding.

Whether your guests are here for the views, the lights, or the excitement of soaring to new heights, the Ferris Wheel is a must-have for any fall festival. Trust me—this one will be the talk of the town, and the highlight of your event!

10 Creative Church Event Ideas for Your Next Event

Planning a church event that brings the community together and celebrates faith can be both exciting and challenging. Whether you’re organizing a youth group gathering, a church picnic, or a seasonal celebration, coming up with fresh, engaging church event ideas can make all the difference. To help you create a memorable and meaningful experience, we’ve compiled a list of 10 creative church event ideas. And don’t worry—BYB Event Services has all the products and services you need to bring these ideas to life!

Idea 1: Outdoor Movie Night

Turn your church grounds into an open-air theater with an outdoor movie night. Select a family-friendly film with a positive message, set up a large inflatable screen, and provide comfortable seating with blankets and chairs. BYB Event Services offers all the equipment you need, including the screen, projector, and sound system. To make the evening even more enjoyable, consider adding a popcorn machine from our concessions lineup for that authentic movie experience.

Idea 2: Church Carnival

Nothing brings joy to a community like a classic church carnival. With bounce houses, giant slides, and carnival games from BYB Event Services, you can create a festive atmosphere that appeals to all ages. Set up different game booths like ring toss, balloon darts, or a duck pond, and offer fun prizes. To enhance the experience, add a few carnival rides like the Mindwinder or Tubs of Fun—perfect for kids and adults looking for a bit of excitement.

Idea 3: Community Picnic with Field Games

Organizing a community picnic including a variety of oversized inflatable field games is a great church planning idea. BYB Event Services can supply a variety of inflatable games like the Wrecking Ball, Obstacle Course, Human Foosball, and more making the event fun and interactive. Set up picnic tables and encourage families to bring their favorite dishes for a potluck-style meal and recipe swap. It’s a great way to foster fellowship and create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere.

Idea 4: Seasonal Festival

Celebrate the seasons with a themed festival that brings your church community together in fun and meaningful ways throughout the year.

For fall, consider hosting a harvest festival with a pumpkin patch, hayrides, and a photo booth to capture memories. Add some friendly competition with a pie-eating contest or a scarecrow-making station to get everyone involved. This type of event not only celebrates the season but also fosters a sense of community and togetherness.

In the spring, an Easter egg hunt can be a wonderful way to engage younger members of the church. Set up inflatable Bounce Houses or an obstacle course to keep kids entertained while they search for hidden eggs. Include craft stations where children can decorate eggs or create Easter-themed art, providing a mix of fun and creative activities.

But the biggest events of the year have to be the Christmas Celebrations and Holiday Festivals. These festive celebrations provide an opportunity to bring the magic of Christmas to life for your congregation. Picture this: the church grounds transformed into a winter wonderland with twinkling lights, a beautifully decorated tree, and the smell of hot cocoa in the air. The highlight of the event is a visit from Santa himself, who arrives with real reindeer to delight children and adults alike. Set up a photo booth with Santa and his sleigh for memorable family pictures, and don’t forget to add an iceless skating rink to really capture that Christmas spirit.

To keep everyone entertained, include a mix of activities like bounce houses for the kids and a mechanical reindeer ride for those looking for a unique challenge. The mechanical reindeer is always a crowd favorite, providing laughter and fun as guests try to hold on and beat their friends’ times. Add in carolers, a live nativity scene, and perhaps a snow machine to complete the experience.

Backyard Bounce Events has all the equipment and attractions to help you celebrate each season in style, making your church festival a standout event. From planning to setup, we’re here to ensure that every detail is perfect so your church can focus on enjoying the fellowship and fun of each seasonal celebration.

Include a karaoke station for singing and laughter, and set up a cozy area with bean bags and a projector for movie screenings. This mix of activities will keep the energy high and spirits lifted all night long.

Idea 6: Charity Fun Run and Family Day

Combine fitness, fun, and a good cause by organizing a charity fun run followed by a family day. Map out a safe route around your church or community, and encourage participants of all ages to join in. After the run, host a family day with interactive games like Human Foosball or a Dunk Tank from BYB Event Services. Offer refreshments from our concession stands and set up a trackless train for kids to enjoy a ride around the grounds.

Idea 7: Worship Under the Stars

Take your church service outdoors with a “Worship Under the Stars” event. Set up a stage and seating area on the church lawn, and use a large screen for hymn lyrics or video presentations. Enhance the atmosphere with soft lighting and a Ferris Wheel to add a magical touch to the evening. The Ferris Wheel not only provides a beautiful backdrop but also serves as an exciting attraction for families. BYB Event Services can provide all the AV equipment, including sound systems and projectors, to ensure a seamless outdoor worship experience.

Idea 8: Talent Show and Open Mic Night

Host a talent show or open mic night to showcase your congregation’s many gifts and talents. Set up a stage with lighting and sound equipment and invite members to share their talents—whether it’s singing, playing an instrument, or sharing a poem. Add a face painter or balloon artist from BYB Event Services to entertain the children while adults enjoy the performances. The mix of talent and live entertainment will make for a diverse and enjoyable evening.

Idea 9: Sports Day and Team Challenges

Organize a sports day with various team challenges and games. Set up different activity stations with options like Inflatable Soccer, Giant Jenga, or even a Mechanical Bull for some added fun. Encourage teams from different ministries or groups within the church to compete, fostering a sense of camaraderie and healthy competition. BYB Event Services offers a range of inflatables and sports games to ensure everyone has a blast.

Idea 10: Family Fun Day with Live Entertainment

Bring in live entertainers to create a vibrant, fun-filled atmosphere for a family fun day. Hire clowns, magicians, face painters, or balloon artists to roam the event and interact with guests. Combine this with our bounce houses, giant slides, and interactive games to keep everyone entertained. A family fun day with a mix of live entertainment and inflatables from BYB Event Services guarantees smiles and laughter all around.

The Unique Appeal of Ferris Wheels at Night for Any Event

There’s something undeniably magical about a Ferris Wheel at night. Picture this: the sun has just dipped below the horizon, and as darkness falls, the Ferris Wheel lights up, casting a warm, colorful glow that can be seen from miles away. The air is filled with the hum of excitement as people gather around, drawn to the twinkling lights and the promise of a thrilling ride. It’s not just an attraction; it’s an experience—a centerpiece that transforms an ordinary evening into something unforgettable.

If you’ve ever been to a nighttime fair or festival, you know exactly what I’m talking about. The Ferris Wheel stands tall, often the crown jewel of the event, creating a sense of wonder that captivates both kids and adults alike. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to wait for the next big fair to roll into town to enjoy this experience. At BYB Events, we bring that same enchanting atmosphere right to your backyard or event venue. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, a corporate event, or a community gathering, a Ferris Wheel can add that perfect touch of nighttime magic.

In this blog, we’re going to dive into what makes Ferris Wheels at night so special and why they’re the ultimate addition to any evening event.

Whether you’re planning a cozy community festival or a grand corporate bash, the Ferris Wheel lighting up the night will create memories that your guests will talk about for years to come.

So, let’s get started and explore how you can bring a bit of that enchanting fairground charm to your next event.

The Enchanting Ambiance of a Ferris Wheel at Night

There’s something almost magical about the way a Ferris Wheel lights up the night sky. It’s as if the entire event takes on a different energy as soon as those bright, colorful lights flick on. The Ferris Wheel becomes a beacon, drawing people in with its warm glow and the promise of a nostalgic, carefree ride. It’s not just another attraction; it’s an experience that transforms the atmosphere creating lasting memories.

At night, the Ferris Wheel stands as a symbol of fun to anyone who sees it. The sound of laughter floating through the air, and the vibrant lights reflecting off everything around—these are the moments that guests remember long after the event is over. It’s an ambiance that’s hard to replicate with any other attraction.

Whether it’s a romantic ride for two or a group of friends sharing a laugh high above the ground, the Ferris Wheel offers a unique perspective—both literally and figuratively. As guests reach the top, they can look out over the event, taking in the sights and sounds from a vantage point that makes everything below seem just a bit more magical.

At BYB Events, we know how important these moments are. That’s why we make sure that our Ferris Wheels are more than just rides—they’re experiences that enhance the entire feel of your event. The combination of movement, light, and sound creates an atmosphere that invites guests to let go of their worries and simply enjoy the moment.

Ideal Events for Nighttime Ferris Wheels

Ferris Wheels are a showstopper at any event, but when the sun sets and the lights come on, they truly shine. Let’s talk about some events where a nighttime Ferris Wheel from BYB Events can make all the difference.

Weddings

Weddings are all about creating unforgettable moments, and what better way to do that than with a Ferris Wheel under the stars? Picture this: your reception is in full swing, and as the night progresses, your guests take turns riding the Ferris Wheel, enjoying a moment of peace and a bird’s-eye view of the celebration below. The soft glow of the Ferris Wheel lights adds a romantic ambiance that’s perfect for couples and guests alike.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. Why not pair the Ferris Wheel with other attractions from BYB Events? A photo booth can be set up nearby so that guests can capture lasting moments of the big day. Add a dance floor for the first dance and a full night of boogie-down fun.

Last year, we had the pleasure of providing a Ferris Wheel for a beautiful wedding in Lexington, Kentucky. The bride and groom decided to take their first ride together as husband and wife, and it quickly became the highlight of the evening. As if that was not romantic enough, the groom’s best man then took a ride to the top with his longtime girlfriend and ended up proposing to his girlfriend at the very top of the wheel! Thankfully, she said yes, and it turned into an impromptu double celebration that no one saw coming.

Corporate Events

Corporate events can sometimes feel a bit stiff, but adding a Ferris Wheel into the mix instantly loosens things up and gives everyone something to talk about. It’s a great way to bring people together in a fun, relaxed environment. Imagine hosting a team-building event where colleagues can share a ride and a laugh, overlooking the event while the Ferris Wheel turns in the night sky.

Complement the Ferris Wheel with team games like 4-way tug-o-war or Laser Tag. These games are perfect for breaking the ice and adding a bit of friendly competition to the evening. And don’t forget the giant inflatables like the Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course—a guaranteed hit that will have everyone acting like kids again, racing each other to the finish line.

I remember a corporate event in Louisville, Kentucky, one company took things to the next level with a Ferris Wheel and a whole lineup of carnival attractions. The Ferris Wheel became the go-to spot for a quiet chat away from the hustle and bustle of the event. The funniest part? One of the managers, trying to “motivate” his team, bet that whoever could beat him in the obstacle course would get an extra vacation day. He tripped on the first obstacle, and his shoe came off. After retrieving the shoe, he made some decent time and then fell from the top of the climbing net. It did not seem like he thought he would lose, but a couple dozen members of his team snagged an extra day off. The entire company had something to laugh about for months.

Community Festivals

Community festivals are all about bringing people together, and there’s no better centerpiece for such an event than a Ferris Wheel. It draws everyone in, from kids eager for a ride to adults looking to relive their own childhood memories. As the Ferris Wheel lights up the night, it becomes a beacon for the community, inviting everyone to gather and enjoy the festivities.

Pair the Ferris Wheel with a bounce house or a giant slide from BYB Events, ensuring that there’s something fun for guests of all ages. A trackless train can also be a great addition, allowing families to tour the event while the Ferris Wheel towers in the background.

One of our favorite memories comes from a small-town festival in Frankfort, Kentucky. The Ferris Wheel was a huge hit, but it was the trackless train that stole the show—at least for one group of senior citizens who decided to relive their youth by taking turns “riding” the train around the festival grounds. It was a heartwarming sight, especially when they ended their night with a slow ride on the Ferris Wheel, smiling as they looked out over their town.

Practical Considerations for Hosting Nighttime Events with Ferris Wheels

Adding a Ferris Wheel to your nighttime event is an incredible way to create a memorable experience, and at BYB Events, we handle all the practical details to ensure everything runs smoothly. Here’s how we take care of the essentials so you can focus on enjoying your event.

Lighting and Safety

When it comes to lighting and safety, you can trust that BYB Events has everything covered. Our Ferris Wheels come equipped with bright, colorful lights that not only create a stunning visual display but also ensure that the area around the ride is well-lit for safety. We work closely with your venue to ensure that all pathways, entrances, and exits are properly illuminated, so guests can move around safely and comfortably.

At BYB Events, safety is our top priority. We follow strict safety protocols and perform thorough inspections to ensure that every ride meets the highest standards. Our team is experienced in setting up attractions in various environments, so whether your event is in a spacious field or a more confined area, we’ll make sure the Ferris Wheel is set up securely and efficiently.

Space and Setup

Space and setup are crucial elements for any event, but with BYB Events, you don’t have to worry about a thing. Our team handles all the logistics, from determining the best placement for the Ferris Wheel to ensuring there’s ample room for other attractions. We assess the venue in advance to make sure the Ferris Wheel will fit seamlessly into your event layout, allowing for a smooth flow of guests and activities.

We take care of the entire setup and teardown process, making it completely hassle-free for you. Our goal is to ensure that the Ferris Wheel integrates perfectly into your event, whether it’s surrounded by additional attractions like bounce houses and photo booths or standing alone as the main focal point. You can rest easy knowing that we’ve thought of everything, from the big picture down to the smallest details.

Weather and Timing

One of the most captivating aspects of a Ferris Wheel is its ability to dazzle both day and night. During the day, the Ferris Wheel offers a fun, thrilling ride with sweeping views that your guests will love. But as the sun begins to set, the Ferris Wheel transforms into a glowing spectacle that takes your event to another level. The lights twinkle against the night sky, creating a magical experience that’s hard to beat.

While we emphasize the unique beauty of Ferris Wheels at night, it’s important to note that they’re a fantastic attraction at any time of day. Whether your event starts in the afternoon or carries on into the evening, the Ferris Wheel will be a highlight that guests of all ages can enjoy. And don’t worry—BYB Events will help you plan the perfect timing to maximize the Ferris Wheel’s impact, ensuring your guests have plenty of opportunities to experience its magic as day turns to night.

Enhancing the Experience: Additional Attractions and Activities

While the Ferris Wheel is undoubtedly the star of the show, pairing it with other attractions can elevate your event to new heights. At BYB Events, we offer a variety of complementary attractions that can enhance the overall experience for your guests, creating a full-fledged fun zone that will keep everyone entertained from start to finish.

Inflatables

Imagine the excitement of kids—and let’s be honest, adults too—bouncing around in a bounce house or challenging themselves on a giant inflatable obstacle course. These inflatables are the perfect complement to the Ferris Wheel, providing continuous fun while guests wait for their turn on the wheel or as a high-energy activity after the ride. With options like the Mega Obstacle Course and themed bounce houses, you can tailor the inflatables to match the theme and vibe of your event.

Pairing inflatables with the Ferris Wheel also offers something for everyone, ensuring that both the thrill-seekers and those who prefer staying closer to the ground have a blast.

Carnival Rides

To really amp up the excitement, consider adding more carnival rides to your event. At BYB Events, we offer a selection of thrilling rides that perfectly complement the Ferris Wheel, creating a mini amusement park atmosphere. Rides like the Tubs of Fun, Round-Up, or Pirate Ship provide varying levels of thrill, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

These rides are great for guests who crave a bit more excitement, adding an extra layer of fun to your event. Imagine the delight on your guests’ faces as they go from the gentle, nostalgic ride of the Ferris Wheel to the exhilarating spin of the Mindwinder or the swaying motion of the Pirate Ship. By offering a variety of rides, you’ll keep the energy high and the fun continuous throughout the event.

Concession Stands

No carnival or fair experience is complete without delicious snacks, and our concession stands bring those classic treats right to your event. Whether it’s popcorn, cotton candy, or snow cones, these tasty options are a hit with guests of all ages. The smell of fresh popcorn wafting through the air adds to the atmosphere, making the experience even more immersive.

Position a concession stand near the Ferris Wheel, and you’ll create a hub of activity where guests can grab a snack before hopping on for a ride or relax and enjoy their treat while watching others take a spin.

Live Entertainers

Adding live entertainers to your event can take the excitement up another notch. Imagine the joy on children’s faces as they watch a clown twist balloons into fun shapes, or the amazement of guests watching a magician perform close-up tricks. At BYB Events, we can connect you with a variety of entertainers, including face painters, stilt walkers, and even jugglers, who can roam the event and keep the energy lively.

Live entertainers bring an interactive element to your event, making it feel even more dynamic and engaging. Whether it’s a stilt walker towering over the crowd, a face painter creating masterpieces on little faces, or a magician leaving everyone in awe, these entertainers add a personal touch that guests will remember long after the event is over.

Tent Rentals are Being Provided for Covid-19 Testing by BYB

The Effects of Covid-19 on our Industry

Read on to learn how BYB is providing Tent Rentals for Covid-19 testing. Like all of you out there, Covid-19 has changed how we do things at BYB this year.  Many of our festivals, fairs, company picnics, weddings, and other events have been canceled or put on hold. While we understand that this is a crucial step to help our families and friends remain safe, it has been tough on our business. Even so, we are always eager to get out and work in our communities around the US. Here’s a look at how we’ve pivoted to both support our communities and our business.

  • Emergency Disaster Services

While we are known mostly for our Carnival Rides, Mechanical Bulls, College Events, and Bounce Houses, BYB has always been available to help during crises and natural disasters. This year and in years past, we have provided support in many ways, such as putting up temporary bunk trailers to give people a bed to sleep in, providing laundry services, or even catering for those in need of a warm meal.

  • COVID-19 Testing Tent Rentals and Sites

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, we are providing help to our communities with sanitizing stations, office and school disinfecting services, and setting up testing tents.  We are relieved to know that soon we will be setting up vaccination tents to help vaccinate the US from Covid-19.

Returning to Normal

Like many of you, we do not expect our previous version of normal to exist even after the pandemic. But we cannot wait to see our communities come back together for some hamburgers, funnel cake, slides, and smiles. We hope that in 2021 we can help you plan the biggest party ever.

Thank you to the Healthcare Workers

We want to thank all the healthcare workers who have worked tirelessly throughout this pandemic to save lives and help heal the sick. By now, most of us have been touched by this pandemic in one way or another. We realize that without your selfless acts, things could be so much worse.
