Dinosaur Bounce House & Party Rentals in Fairlawn, OH

In 1966, a construction crew digging a basement in Fairlawn hit something big. University of Akron scholars came out and recovered about 60 percent of a young mastodon from an Ice Age kettle-lake deposit, and the find was nicknamed “Little Horatio.” Today Fairlawn is better known for Summit Mall and leafy west-side streets, but a party here can still be a discovery. Game Craze delivers the rentals, sets them up and hauls them away, so you can dig into the fun.
