Events That Are Better With a Mechanical Bull

Mechanical bull hire fits right into so many different event types. Here are just a few places where this ride really shines:

Safety First – Always

Planet Entertainment takes safety seriously, especially when it comes to high-action rides like the mechanical bull. Each unit is operated by a trained staff member who controls the speed and difficulty, adjusting it to suit the rider’s age and ability. The bull sits within a soft, air-filled arena that cushions every fall, and the equipment is inspected and maintained to the highest standards.
