Video game truck rental in Burlington

Packages start at $429 for 90 minutes, $479 for two hours and $629 for three, plus a flat travel charge to Burlington and HST. The travel rate is the same wherever you are in town. The exact total for your date, travel included, shows on the booking page before you pay anything.

Almost always. We need about 30 to 32 feet, roughly three car lengths, on a reasonably flat surface. Most driveways in the newer Alton Village, Orchard and Millcroft subdivisions take it comfortably. The older streets downtown and along the lakeshore can be tighter, in which case we park curbside instead. Send us a photo of the spot beforehand if you're unsure and we'll confirm.

Yes. For a downtown condo near Brant Street or Lakeshore Road, we usually set up in a visitor lot or on a nearby side street with the building's okay. Townhouse complexes in the Orchard and Alton Village have visitor parking rules, so a quick note to your property manager beforehand helps. If there's no room on site, we can usually park on the street out front.

Yes, and we do a lot of them: fun fairs, PA days, graduations and camp activity days for schools in the Halton District School Board and the Halton Catholic District School Board. For a Burlington park or community centre, such as Spencer Smith Park, Central Park, Haber Recreation Centre or Tansley Woods Community Centre, check with the City of Burlington about vehicle access first; for a school, the principal or board facilities office can approve the spot. We provide insurance certificates on request. We bring our own power, so a field with no outlet is not a problem. See our school events page for how school bookings work.

The party goes ahead. Everyone plays inside the climate-controlled trailer, so rain, heat and cold don't matter. The only thing guests need is a short walk from the house to the door.

No. The truck runs on its own power and brings its own internet, so you don't need an outlet, an extension cord or your Wi-Fi password.

For a Saturday or Sunday in spring or summer, three to four weeks is sensible, and popular dates go earlier than that. Weekday and winter bookings are usually available with a week or two's notice. The calendar shows live availability, so it's worth checking your date before assuming it's gone.

Six to sixteen is the sweet spot, and most Burlington birthdays we run are eight to thirteen. Younger groups do fine because the Game Coach picks simpler titles like Mario Kart, Minecraft and Just Dance and keeps the rotation moving. We also run adult and corporate bookings, where the sports and retro games get the most play.

The usual options are trampoline parks, indoor playgrounds, bowling and booking a room at a Burlington community centre. They work, but you're on the venue's clock, you have to get everyone there, and you're often cleaning up afterwards. A video game truck comes to your address instead, so there's no venue to book, no driving and nothing to tidy when it leaves. For more, see our birthday ideas by age.

We do. Oakville and Milton, along with neighbouring Hamilton and Waterdown are all regular stops, each with their own travel rate. Pick your city on the booking form and the fee is worked out for you.
