Everyone thinks of Florida as hot in the summer, but locals know that December can still bring surprisingly warm and sunny days in Cape Coral and Fort Myers. With highs regularly hitting the low to mid-80s this week (and the Edison Festival of Light Junior Parade planning already underway for February), families are searching for outdoor activities that keep kids entertained without overheating.
That is exactly why bounce house rentals are becoming the go-to choice for backyard parties, school events, and neighborhood gatherings throughout Southwest Florida right now.
Here are 5 reasons bounce houses are perfect for December in SWFL:
- Built-in shade and airflow - Modern bounce houses have mesh walls and covered tops that let the breeze flow through while blocking direct sun, keeping kids cooler than playing on hot playground equipment or concrete.
- No waiting for "cooler weather" - With our mild winters, you do not have to postpone the party until spring. December and January are actually peak seasons for outdoor bounce house events in Cape Coral and Fort Myers.
- Burn off holiday energy - After weeks of cookies, presents, and family visits, kids have energy to spare. A bounce house gives them a safe, fun way to bounce it all out while parents relax nearby.
- Water slide combos for extra cooling - Many of our most popular rentals right now are bounce house with water slide combos. Even a light mist or splash pool feels amazing when the temperature climbs to 84 degrees in December!
- Perfect for holiday break gatherings - Schools are out, grandparents are in town, and neighborhoods are full of kids on break. A single bounce house rental can turn an ordinary afternoon into a memorable holiday celebration.
At SWFL Amusements, we are seeing record bookings for the entire month of December 2025 as families take advantage of this beautiful weather. Our inventory of tropical-themed bounce houses, obstacle courses, and wet/dry slides are perfect for keeping everyone cool and happy.
Pro tip: Book early! Weekend dates from now through New Year’s are filling faster than ever before.
