Here’s your go-to guide for crowd-pleasing, kid-approved menu pairings that match perfectly with an afternoon of bouncing, sliding, and laughing.
When kids are in and out of bounce houses or water slides, they don’t want to sit down for a full meal. Choose grab-and-go options that keep the party flowing:
Mini sandwiches or pinwheels
Cheese cubes and pretzel sticks
Fruit kabobs with melon, grapes, and strawberries
Veggie cups with ranch or hummus
Pro Tip: Avoid anything too messy (like saucy wings or ice cream) near the equipment. Clean hands = happy jumpers.
Especially during warm weather or water slide parties, hydration is key.
Create a self-serve drink station with:
Infused water (cucumber, lemon, or berry)
Juice boxes (bonus: they double as ice packs before serving)
Mini sports drinks for active kids
Don’t forget labeled cups for guests to reuse!
Match your food to the bounce house theme for bonus smiles:
Tropical Slide? Serve pineapple skewers, Hawaiian rolls, or coconut cookies
Carnival Bounce? Try popcorn bags, cotton candy cones, or mini corn dogs
Princess Party? Pink lemonade, “crown” sugar cookies, and edible glitter cupcakes
You can also coordinate colors with plates, napkins, and even the cake.
Make your party inclusive by offering:
Nut-free treats like rice crispy bars or granola bites
Gluten-free options like popcorn or fruit snacks
Dairy-free desserts like fruit sorbet or freeze pops
Label items clearly so parents feel confident letting their kids dig in.
Want to keep things simple?
Here’s how to save time (and your sanity):
Use muffin tins as pre-filled snack trays
Set up a buffet-style table with signs for each station
Partner with a local food truck or kids’ catering service—many of them work with Astro Jump customers and offer party-friendly packages
