Description
Get ready to climb aboard Butch, our crowd-favorite Mechanical Bull Rental. Whether you’re planning a school event, church function, college activity, company picnic, festival, or western-themed celebration, Butch delivers excitement for riders and spectators alike.
Unlike the mechanical bulls many people picture from bars and nightclubs, our Mechanical Bull Rental is designed for family-friendly entertainment. Butch is controlled by trained ACP Entertainment staff who adjust the ride to match the rider’s age and comfort level. This allows guests to enjoy the challenge while maintaining a safe experience.
The Mechanical Bull Rental is popular because it combines competition, laughter, and excitement. Guests love seeing how long they can stay on the bull while friends cheer them on. From first-time riders to experienced bull riders, everyone enjoys testing their skills against Butch.
Is Our Mechanical Bull Rental Safe?
One of the most common questions we receive is whether a Mechanical Bull Rental is safe. The short answer is yes. Safety is our top priority, and we would not offer an attraction that we felt posed an unreasonable risk to our guests.
Many people assume all mechanical bulls operate the same way, but that is not the case. Our Mechanical Bull Rental includes several safety features designed to create a safer riding experience, including:
- Soft foam-style bull head
- Soft padded horns
- Seamless inflatable safety padding surrounding the bull
- Automatic ride programs designed for controlled operation
These features help reduce the risk of injury while still providing an exciting ride experience.
Trained Operators and Family-Friendly Fun
In addition to the safety features built into the attraction, our Mechanical Bull Rental is always operated by trained ACP Entertainment staff. Operators maintain their full attention on the rider throughout the ride. If a rider begins to lose control or fall, the operator immediately stops the bull.
We often refer to Butch as our “family-friendly bull” because riders of many ages can enjoy the attraction. For younger children, parents may stand on the inflatable surface and assist their child while the bull gently rocks back and forth. This allows younger guests to experience the ride in a controlled and comfortable way.
Older riders begin on the Easy automatic program. If they successfully remain on the bull, they can advance to Medium and eventually Hard. Most riders never make it beyond the Easy setting, and those who do must successfully ride for an extended period before advancing. Riders who stay on for up to 60 seconds have officially beaten the bull, and the ride is stopped so the next participant can take their turn.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mechanical Bull Rentals
How much does it cost to rent a mechanical bull from ACP Entertainment?
We don’t publish our prices online because every event is different. Total pricing depends on the time of the event, location and if power is available on site or if we need to bring power. Please call our office team to get a quote and availability for your event.
Are mechanical bulls safe?
All of our mechanical bulls are manufactured by Galaxy Multi Rides, the safest mechanical bull manufacturer in the United States. Our mechanical bulls have safety padding all around the motion base plus an inflatable that surrounds the motion base. The bull itself has a soft-foam head and foam filled, vinyl covered horns. The mechanical bull also has pre-made set programs that start with easy and work their way up to medium and hard (although 98% of the riders don’t make it past easy)
Is the mechanical bull safe for kids and adults?
Our mechanical bull is safe for kids and adults alike so long that the rider is of good health and aligns within the restrictions of being at least 48″ tall and less than 300 pounds. With the many safety features of the mechanical bull, rigorous maintenance and a trained and experienced operator, the mechanical bull and it’s operation is definitely safe!
How much space and power is needed for a mechanical bull setup?
The inflatable for the mechanical bull is a 16′ wide circle plus the blower tube on the back of the inflatable. Then you have the operator position on the opposite side of the blower. All together, a 20×20 space should be adequate for the mechanical bull setup. A minimum ceiling height of 10 feet is required as well. For power, we need 2-110v/20amp circuits to operate the bull. One circuit is for the blower and the other is for the mechanics of the ride.
Does ACP Entertainment provide an operator for the mechanical bull?
Yes, for all of our rides-including Mechanical Bulls-we provide operators to setup and safely operate the bull.
Can the mechanical bull rental be setup indoors or outdoors?
Our mechanical bull can be setup either inside or outside so long as we have power within 100 feet of the bulls placement and you have the required space needed for setup.
