Corporate Carnival Events in Tampa

Most company entertainment forces a choice about which group ends up bored. A staffed midway does not. The same booths hold a toddler, a teenager, and the operations director standing behind them.

What Tampa Bay companies use us for.

Family days, appreciation events, tenant gatherings, and openings. Outside on a lawn or a lot, or inside anywhere the ceiling clears the tents.

Employee family days

Partners and kids on site, and one activity that covers the whole spread of ages.

Tenant and property events

Building or campus gatherings where a leasing team needs residents to actually turn up.

Grand openings

A reason for people to stop, and something to keep them there once they have.

Year-end parties

The December event where nobody is required to dance.

What we bring to your event.

We load in early, build the midway, work every booth for your whole window, and pack out. Nobody on your team gets pulled into running a game.

  • Striped 10x10 booth tents, raised and struck by our crew
  • Classic booth games with a sticker prize for every player
  • Trained hosts working every booth for the full window
  • Music through the event
  • Setup and cleanup, usually about 45 minutes on each end
  • Certificate of insurance for your venue or facilities team

Tampa corporate carnival pricing.

Corporate events are quoted to the event rather than sold as a package. What sets the number is headcount, how long you need the midway running, and how many booths we staff so nobody queues. Tell us the date, the window, and roughly how many people, and we will size it and quote it.

Up to about 150 guests

Three striped tents and eight booth games with a host on each one. The scale most single-site appreciation days and family days land on.

About 150 to 500 guests

Four to six tents and a wider game lineup with a larger crew, so nobody stands in a line while everyone rotates through.

500 guests and up

A full midway staffed continuously for your whole window, sized to your schedule. This is the scale we work community events at.

Local crew, backed by a company that has done this a while.

Big Idea Entertainment Tampa opened in 2025 and has run 200+ events across the Tampa Bay area since, across every brand we run. Your event is staffed by our own background-checked hosts, not crew hired for the date.

"Great for our Fall Festival this year. The team showed up and was very enthusiastic and just great with all of the kids. The games were fun and added to the festival experience as well!"

Why one vendor for the whole midway.

One vendor, one invoice

Games, tents, staff, and sound from one company. No coordinating four rentals and hoping each of them turns up.

Insurance and paperwork handled

Certificates of insurance for your venue, and we work with facilities and procurement as a matter of routine.

Every age at once

Booth difficulty adjusts, so the four-year-olds and the adults play the same games without splitting the event in two.

We run it, you attend it

Our hosts work every booth for the full window. Your team gets to be guests at your own event.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with property managers and building tenants?
Regularly. We can coordinate directly with a property or leasing contact, supply the paperwork a building requires, and work to a load-in window set by the site rather than by us.
Can you set up in a waterfront park for a company day?
Yes, with two caveats. Public sites usually require a permit and proof of insurance from the vendor, and open water means wind, so tents need weighting and we will want to know the surface. Tell us the park and we will work out what it needs.
Who at our building do you need to coordinate with?
Whoever controls access and the loading area, which is usually facilities or building management rather than the person planning the event. Put us in touch early and we will handle the certificate, the load-in time, and the parking question directly.
Can you cover two shifts of guests in one booking?
Yes. The booths run continuously for whatever window you book, so a second group arriving later gets the same event the first one had. Tell us both start times and we will size the staffing to the busier overlap.
Do you bill a corporate account, or is it card only?
We invoice. Purchase orders and vendor onboarding are routine for us, and we can supply a W-9 and a certificate of insurance with whatever your accounts team needs named on it.
