Carnival Game Rentals NJ
Classic Midway Games for Schools, Fundraisers & Parties
Carnival game rentals NJ hosts trust: Royal Entertainment delivers and sets up 17 classic booth games, from Balloon Pop and Ring Toss to Shockwave and the 2 Minute Drill, for school carnivals, fundraisers, picnics and backyard parties across New Jersey.
17 Booth Games • Delivery & Setup • Indoor or Outdoor • Based in Bergen County
Bring the Boardwalk to Your Event
Carnival games work because anyone can walk up and play. There is no line to learn rules, no team to join and no age limit, so a three-year-old and a grandparent can take turns at the same booth. That makes them a natural fit for school carnivals, church and PTA fundraisers, company picnics, block parties and birthday parties.
Royal Entertainment owns its carnival games and keeps them in our South Hackensack warehouse. We deliver the booths, set them up before your guests arrive and pick everything up afterward. Pair them with other attractions from our party entertainment lineup for a full fair-day setup.

How to Plan a School Carnival or Fundraiser
Most carnival game rentals in New Jersey are for school and community fundraisers, where a few planning choices make a big difference in how much you raise:
- Match games to ages: younger grades go straight for Fish-In-A-Bowl, Potty Toss and Duck Hunt. Middle and high schoolers want Shockwave, Roller Ball and the 2 Minute Drill. Mix all three groups for a family event.
- Use a ticket system: sell tickets at one table and charge one or two tickets per game. It keeps cash away from the booths, speeds up lines and makes the night’s total easy to count.
- Staff every booth: plan one volunteer per game to hand out balls or rings, reset targets and give out prizes, with shifts of an hour or two so nobody misses the fun.
- Tier your prizes: small prizes at every booth, bigger ones for skill games and a prize table where kids trade in winnings keep players moving between games.
- Plan the space: spread booths around the gym, cafeteria or field so lines don’t collide, and put toss games against a wall or fence to catch stray throws.
Indoor or Outdoor Carnival Games
Every game on this page works indoors in a gym, cafeteria, church hall or ballroom. Most also work outside on a field, parking lot or backyard, as long as booths sit on level ground. For outdoor events, have a rain plan: a tent or a nearby indoor space keeps the games running if the weather turns.
Tell us the venue when you book and we will plan the layout and delivery around it, including where our truck can unload.

How Much Do Carnival Game Rentals Cost in NJ?
Pricing depends on how many games you rent, how long the event runs, your date and how far the venue is from our South Hackensack base. Booking several booths together is usually more cost-effective than renting one or two.
Spring and early summer are the busiest season for school carnivals and field days, so book those dates early. Share your date, venue and game list and we will send an exact price.
