The booth midway: the heart of the American funfair
Imagen
A row of red-and-white striped booths, bunting and lights turns any venue into an American funfair. Guests play for free and take home cuddly toys or gifts branded by the client.
- Carnival booths measuring 215 × 150 × 100 cm, each with its own game.
- Fair tents of 3 × 3 m for the most popular games.
Games to choose from: hook-a-duck, tin can alley, ring toss, darts, balloon pop or the frog game. If there is no room for booths, the mini fair games (190 × 70 cm, no power needed) set up a mini fair in 2 × 2 m per game. Booths can be fully branded with the client's look, and we adapt games and prizes to adults or children.
If you want a big top, performers and ring acts, see the Circus themed event; the American Funfair focuses on fairground games and fair food.
Strength and aim games at the American Funfair event
Imagen
At every American funfair someone wants to show off their strength in front of colleagues. These games create queues and leaderboards:
- Electronic high striker (227 cm tall): it measures the hit and displays the score.
- Fairground goalkeeper: score past a wooden keeper that never stops moving.
The Whack-a-Mole with digital scoreboard tests reflexes in 90 seconds, and the giant Buzz Wire tests a steady hand: follow the wire without setting off the alarm. The high striker has adjustable difficulty, so it works for children and adults; it needs a socket within 1.5 m and a play area about 3 m wide.
Prize machines: plush claw machines and games of luck
Imagen
The claw machine is the most recognisable image of the American funfair, and the best way to hand out gifts with a thrill:
- Plush toy machine with no coins, a credit button and adjustable difficulty.
- LED ball crane with programmable lights and configurable win rate.
The machines can be wrapped in the client's vinyl and filled with their merchandise (ideal prize: about 15 cm and under half a kilo). To round off the lucky zone, the ball prize machine and the giant Plinko give away gifts among guests. They all need a 220 V socket and step-free access.
Fair food: cotton candy, popcorn and hot dogs
Imagen
An American funfair is also something you eat. Staffed carts bring the smell and colour of the carnival:
- Cotton candy made on the spot, up to 60 servings an hour.
- Popcorn sweet, salted or coloured, in boxes that can carry a logo.
The hot dog cart serves about 50 hot dogs an hour, with sauces and crispy onion, and there is a vegetarian version. In summer, the soft-serve ice cream cart completes the sweet stand. Each cart needs a nearby socket (popcorn, 1,600 W) and its base can carry the logo.

Space, set-up and staff for the American Funfair event
- Space: about 2 × 3 m per booth, plus room for each game behind it; 4 × 4 m for tents; 3 m wide play area for the high striker.
- Access: booths are heavy and have no wheels, so they must stand near the unloading point, with at least 60 cm clearance and no stairs.
- Power: claw machines, high striker, Whack-a-Mole and carts need a socket; booths and mini games do not.
- Game needs: hook-a-duck needs a water point nearby and target shooting needs a safety zone.
- Staff: attendants at booths and tents, and a server at each cart.

American funfair themed party for family days and company parties
Funfair for companies
An American funfair themed party for companies works because everyone gets the game at a glance: see the stall, grab the ball and throw. That makes it one of the best choices for a corporate family day, where children, parents and managers all mix. Nobody ends up watching from the sidelines.
If you are planning an event for hundreds of guests, funfair stall hire for events lets you scale up in modules without reworking the proposal. It works just as well in a Madrid warehouse as in a seaside hotel garden, and it fits neatly into a brand activation with the client’s own merchandise as prizes. Ask for a quote with your date and headcount and we will suggest the funfair street that suits your venue.
- Corporate family day: stalls for children and adults, with prizes so every family takes a souvenir home.
- Company Christmas dinner: an indoor winter funfair that livens up the end of the meal with skill games.
- Trade show stands: a stall branded with the client’s logo draws visitors and keeps conversations going.
- Local festivals and councils: a free funfair street for residents, with classic games for every age.
