What is included when I rent the 350-Gallon Dunk Tank?
Your rental includes the dunk tank itself, safety cage, throwing targets, and a set of balls for guests to take aim. Our team delivers, sets up, and removes the tank if you choose full-service rental in Baltimore or the DMV. You’ll just need to provide access to a water source for filling.

Filling the dunk tank typically takes 45–60 minutes with a standard garden hose, depending on your water pressure. We recommend starting the fill as soon as we arrive to ensure it’s ready for your event kickoff.
Is the dunk tank suitable for both kids and adults?
Yes! The 350-gallon dunk tank is designed for both children and adults. However, anyone taking a turn in the tank should be able to swim and climb out safely—typically ages 7 and up. Always supervise children and follow safety rules provided during setup.
Do I need any special permits to use the dunk tank at a Baltimore park or public venue?
For events at Baltimore-area parks or public spaces, you may need a permit from the park authority, and some locations may have water use restrictions. Please confirm requirements with your chosen venue in advance. For more guidance, see our Delivery Areas page or contact us.
Can I pick up the dunk tank myself to save on delivery fees?
Yes! We offer a pickup option at our Baltimore warehouse. You’ll need a truck, van, or trailer with sufficient space and proper tie-downs. See our Pickup Rentals (30% Off) page for details, business hours, and important cleaning/return information.

What should I do if my event location does not have a nearby water source?

Our team thoroughly checks, cleans, and sanitizes the dunk tank before and after each rental. We ensure it’s ready, safe, and presentable for every Baltimore or DMV customer’s event.

We recommend participants wear swimwear or quick-drying clothing. Remove shoes, jewelry, glasses, and other valuables before sitting on the dunk tank seat to keep everyone safe and prevent lost items in the water.
