Make a Splash at Your Next Event with Dunking Machine Hire

Looking to add a bit of cheeky fun, friendly rivalry, and crowd-pleasing excitement to your next event? A dunking machine—also known as a dunk tank—is one of the simplest yet most entertaining attractions you can hire. Whether you're planning a school fair, corporate fundraiser, team-building day, or community festival, a dunk tank always draws a crowd. Planet Entertainment offers safe, high-quality dunking machine hire across Australia, making it easy to bring the fun to your event.

Why a Dunking Machine Is Always a Hit

Dunking machines bring an unbeatable mix of suspense, laughter, and good-natured competition. There’s something infectious about watching participants aim for the target while a volunteer nervously perches above the water—only to plunge in the moment someone lands the perfect throw.

A dunk tank ticks a lot of boxes:

• Great for fundraisers – Sell balls or “throws” to raise money fast.
• Perfect for family events – Kids and adults both love it.
• Simple setup – No power required; just fill the tank with water.
• A fun way to involve VIPs – Teachers, principals, managers, or team leaders make for hilarious dunking candidates.

Planet Entertainment ensures all dunking machines are well-maintained, safe, and delivered with friendly service so you can focus on enjoying the event.

Top Event Ideas for Dunking Machine Fun

A dunking machine is incredibly versatile, making it easy to slip into almost any type of event. Here are some popular use cases:

School Fetes & Carnivals

Dunking the principal or teachers? A guaranteed hit! Schools often use dunk tanks as part of house competitions or as a reward activity. The suspense builds, students cheer, and the school spirit skyrockets.

Corporate Team-Building & Charity Days

Looking to boost morale while raising money for a cause? Dunking a department head or CEO boosts engagement like nothing else. It’s playful, memorable, and fosters plenty of laughs. Pairing it with Planet Entertainment’s Inflatable Sports Games can create a full activity zone.

Community Festivals & Council Events

Dunk tanks are easy crowd-pullers. Add signage, encourage participation, or set competitive challenges between different community groups.

Private Parties

Perfect for milestone birthdays, backyard celebrations, or themed events—especially in warm weather. Combine it with a water slide for a wet-and-wild event that guests of all ages will love.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Dunking Machine Hire

To ensure your dunk tank runs smoothly and safely, it’s worth planning ahead. Here are some practical tips:

Choose the Right Location

Pick a flat area that can handle water splash. Grass is ideal. Make sure there’s easy hose access for filling the tank.

Select the Best “Dunkee”

Part of the fun is choosing who’s brave enough to sit on the seat. Leaders, teachers, celebrities—anyone with a good sense of humour makes the event more memorable.

Keep the Queue Moving

Offer incentives, competitions, or themed challenges so the line stays engaged. Consider selling multiple throws at a discount for fundraising events.

Think Safety First

Planet Entertainment provides dunk machines that meet safety standards, but you’ll want to ensure:

• Supervision is always present
• Suitable participants (age and height)
• A safe distance for the throwing line

The team at Planet Entertainment can guide you through safe operation and setup so everything runs smoothly.
