Why Bounce Houses Are the Perfect Way to Keep Kids Active During Southwest Florida’s Cooler December Days

December in Southwest Florida brings some of the best weather of the year: low humidity, cooler evenings, and daytime highs in the mid-to-upper 70s. After months of intense summer heat, families in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and all across Lee County finally feel comfortable spending hours outdoors again. It's the perfect time to get kids off screens and moving, and nothing beats a bounce house rental for burning energy while having an absolute blast.

Why December Weather Makes Bounce Houses Even Better in Cape Coral and Fort Myers

Kids can jump for hours without overheating. Parents don't have to worry about constant water breaks or heat exhaustion, or slippery sunscreen hands. The mild temperatures mean bounce houses stay cooler inside, and the lower UV index lets everyone enjoy the backyard longer. This is exactly why December has become one of our busiest months for bounce house rentals at SWFL Amusements.

Ideal for Holiday Parties, School Breaks, and Family Gatherings

With schools out for winter break and families hosting holiday get-togethers, a bounce house turns any backyard into the ultimate kid zone. Whether you're planning a Christmas party in Cape Coral, a New Year's celebration in Fort Myers, or just want to give the kids something fun to do while the grown-ups catch up, our colorful bounce houses (and combo units with slides) keep children entertained for hours.

Parents tell us all the time: the bounce house is the one thing that finally gets their kids to put down the tablets and run around until they're happily exhausted.

Keep Kids Healthy and Active Over Winter Break

Studies show that kids gain weight twice as fast during school breaks, but staying active helps prevent the "winter break slide." A bounce house provides full-body exercise: jumping improves coordination, builds muscle, strengthens bones, and boosts cardiovascular health, all while feeling like pure play. It's the kind of workout kids beg to do again and again.
