How Two Units and Two Upgrade Configurations Generated Paid Municipal Rental Revenue During the Christmas SeasonThis winter case study examines how the City of Ontario deployed two MEGA Maze Arena units side by side, each running a different upgrade configuration, to drive ticketed revenue at the same event. One unit operated as the Winter Wonderland Scavenger Hunt Maze rented at $1,450, while the second ran Santa’s Toy Workshop rented at $1,100, along with the base MEGA Maze rental — for a total of $3,550 in rental revenue for a single afternoon at Christmas on Euclid 2025.
With minimal staffing requirements and a centralized punch-based wristband system controlling access, both maze units delivered steady participation and repeat play throughout the event. The combination of low labor, high throughput, and unified ticketing made the inflatable maze rentals a major revenue generator for the City of Ontario and a clear real-world example of how this model performs during the Christmas season. The City of Ontario brought holiday cheer and crowd-pleasing entertainment to life with their 2024 Christmas on Euclid celebration — and our Winter Wonderland Discovery Scavenger Hunt Maze played a starring role. This seasonal upgrade of the MEGA Maze Arena delivered a fun, family-friendly experience that also proved to be a revenue generator for the event. Unlike free-play setups, all attractions at this event were ticket-based, demonstrating just how well this unit performs in pay-to-play environments. Whether you're looking to rent out something high-throughput or use it yourself to generate direct revenue, this activation was a case study in both.
A MEGA Maze Arena winter upgrade, a themed inflatable maze experience, and one San Bernardino holiday party that shows the earning power of seasonal inflatable entertainment.For the Teamsters Local 1932 Christmas party in San Bernardino, the Winter Wonderland Scavenger Hunt Maze gave families something way more memorable than a basic holiday attraction. Guests moved through the themed MEGA Maze Arena, followed the winter scavenger hunt path, and experienced a full seasonal maze attraction designed for families, kids, and holiday party crowds.
For anyone looking for a low-labor inflatable business with seasonal earning power, this is where it gets exciting: 2 guys, 6 hours total, and a $2,000 rental from one winter holiday event. The MEGA Maze Arena’s seasonal upgrades turn one inflatable base unit into real money-making opportunities for Christmas parties, winter festivals, union events, company celebrations, school holiday events, hotels, resorts, and family-focused seasonal programming. When the city of Ontario, California hosted its 2023 Christmas on Euclid Community Fair & Market, it was all about family, tradition, and community cheer. But this year, something new stood out—and it wasn’t just the tree lighting or vendor booths. The real buzz? The MEGA Maze Arena upgrade featuring Santa’s Village and the Winter Wonderland Scavenger Hunt Maze. These two immersive, winter-themed attractions quickly became the must-try experiences at the fair—and helped drive serious traffic to the city’s pay-to-play attractions zone.
Two holiday-themed MEGA Maze Arena upgrades--Santa’s Village and Winter Wonderland—were deployed at the Teamsters Local 1932 Union Christmas Party in San Bernardino, CA, on December 6, 2023. This outdoor corporate holiday celebration brought in hundreds of attendees, and these two immersive mazes helped set the tone with interactive, crowd-friendly holiday fun.
The event planner behind it? A rental pro who owns TWO MEGA Maze Arenas—and he’s not playing around. He knows the potential of these seasonal upgrades. In just one afternoon, he charged $3,000 for the pair. That’s one client. One event. One night. You do the math.
The Winter Wonderland Discovery Maze showed how the MEGA Maze Arena can become a premium Christmas attraction with Santa photos, scavenger hunt cards, low labor, and real seasonal earning power.For the Teamsters Local 1932 Christmas party in San Bernardino, we set up the Winter Wonderland Discovery Maze as a full Christmas inflatable maze experience. Guests entered the maze, used scavenger hunt cards, found Santa inside, and had a built-in photo moment right in the middle of the attraction.
This is the business opportunity: one inflatable base unit, one seasonal upgrade, three guys total including Santa, six hours total, and $2,000 from one holiday party rental. The Santa photo element gave the maze another layer of value, turning the Winter Wonderland Discovery Maze into a Christmas attraction with family appeal, photo value, and another way to sell the winter season. |
