After scheduling a delivery time, our play experts will deliver your chosen play experience and set it up!

PLAY BIG WITH RENT-A-THEME!

WHAT IS A RENT-A-THEME PLAY EXPERIENCE?

Rent-A-Theme Entertainment was founded on the core idea that the act of playing is not only fun, but is also powerful. Play stimulates curiosity, creativity, and imagination, and challenges the mind to invent, collaborate, and problem-solve. At R.A.T.E. we are passionate about these proven benefits of play, and use them to help Denver area businesses, organizations, and individuals generate new levels of success through our one-of-a-kind play experiences. By collaborating with experts in the field, we have developed a unique set of play experiences using data and multi-sensory integration that are sure to delight all five senses for a stimulating learning exercise, no matter your age! Our meticulously designed play experiences have over 30 years of educational and entertainment experience integrated into their design, with equipment that is scrutinized and curated for safety, durability, and a big fun factor. We do more than just provide fun equipment—Rent-A-Theme Entertainment fully transforms your location into an immersive play experience by utilizing aromatherapy and mood lighting to create an environment that provokes a sense of wonder. No matter your organization, R.A.T.E. play experiences can play a major role in boosting morale, alleviating stress, and strengthening community bonds! Our play experiences are designed to be suitable for ages three and up, and accessible to everyone regardless of culture, background, or ability.
