At Party Rentals CA, we bring the fun to your event with our Strike Zone Rental! Bowling with a twist, this exciting carnival game lets everyone test their aim and precision. Instead of bowling balls, you’ll be sliding pucks down a lane to flip as many pins as possible. Don’t be fooled—it’s harder than it looks! With three chances to flip all seven pins, it’s a fun challenge for kids and adults.
Perfect for school carnivals, church picnics, company parties, and even tradeshows, the Strike Zone Rental entertains guests of all ages. Whether you’re hosting an outdoor bash or an indoor celebration, it fits easily into any setting—grass, concrete, sand, or wood deck. Setup is quick and hassle-free, taking just about 10 minutes. No power is required!
The game folds neatly for easy transport (23” x 35.5”) and expands to its full size when in use (23” x 70.5”), so it’s big enough for fun yet compact enough to fit anywhere. Each rental has three pucks and a large parts bag with a lanyard. You’ll need to provide your table or rent one from us.
Don’t miss out on the fun at your next event! The Strike Zone Rental is a hit that’ll have your guests lining up to play repeatedly. Delivery, set-up, cleaning, and gas fees may apply, so make your party unforgettable!
Colors may vary.
