If you’re planning to host your event at an Aurora Park District location like Phillips Park or McCullough Park, make sure to secure your special use permit well in advance. These permits can sometimes take a few weeks to process, especially during peak season, and often have specific requirements for inflatables and water-based activities.
Delivery in Aurora
Our team navigates Aurora traffic efficiently, covering everything from Orchard Road to Route 59. Please ensure clear access for our delivery truck, including wide gates for backyard setups and suitable ground for the dunk tank, preferably a relatively flat, grassy area. We always look out for potential challenges like tight turns or steep inclines on older properties.
Aurora event seasons
The optimal window for dunk tank rentals in Aurora runs from late May through early September, perfectly aligning with our warm, humid summers. It’s best to avoid booking in early spring or late fall due to unpredictable temperatures and the risk of unexpected cold snaps or rain. Remember that summer storms can pop up quickly, so always have a backup plan for temporary shelter.

Dunk Tank Rentals in Aurora — FAQ
Do I need a permit to have a dunk tank in an Aurora park?
Yes, the Aurora Park District requires a special event permit for any large rental equipment, including dunk tanks. It's crucial to apply for this permit with plenty of lead time before your event date.
What kind of water access is required for a dunk tank?
Our dunk tanks need a standard garden hose connection within 50 feet of the setup location to fill the tank. Please ensure you have an outdoor spigot available and accessible.
Can I set up a dunk tank on pavement or concrete?
While we can set up on hard surfaces in a pinch, we highly recommend a grassy area for safety and stability. If pavement is your only option, please let us know beforehand so we can bring extra padding.
How much does a dunk tank cost?
Most dunk tank rentals run $250–$450 per day plus delivery, depending on city and weekend demand.
How is it filled?
A standard garden hose fills the tank in 30–45 minutes. Some operators offer a fast-fill option.
Where can I drain it?
Operators provide a drain hose. Drain to a lawn, alleyway, or storm-safe area — most cities allow it.
