Adult Inflatable Costumes

What an adult inflatable costume actually is

Five designs below: three giant animals, an alien abduction gag, and one Power Rangers Megazord. Pick the joke you want to land, then check the battery number.

Our favorites, from giant animals to a giant robot

The Giant Chicken Inflatable Costume is our best-selling adult inflatable so far this year. A huge, feather-covered bird suit that reads as a chicken from across a room. Over four hours on 4 AA batteries, one size to fit most adults, and the fan and battery pack in the box.

The Giant Frog Inflatable Costume is close behind the Diplodocus below as one of our next best-selling inflatables. Bright, wide-eyed, and it has a phone pocket built in, which matters when the costume is inflated around you. Over four hours on 4 AA batteries, one size to fit most adults.

The Giant Diplodocus Inflatable Costume is the same giant-animal idea with a long neck. Reinforced stitching and a zipper closure hold that longer shape together. The fan runs approximately 4 hours on 4 AA batteries, and one size fits most adults.

The Alien Costume Inflatable Pick Me Up drops the giant-animal shape for a party trick. A pair of fake alien legs dangle beneath your own, so it looks like you are being carried off by a UFO. One size, designed to fit most adults from about 5'4" to 6'4". Up to 4 hours on 4 AA batteries, and the phone pocket sits on the outside.

The Power Rangers Megazord Inflatable Megamorph is the one built at giant-robot scale. Hook-and-loop fastening keeps the fit snug, and a pair of gloves comes in the box. Up to 4 hours on 4 AA batteries, one size to fit most adults.

The decision buyers get wrong: battery life and fit

"One size" here means the fan and the shell do the adjusting, not a size chart. If you are near either end of average adult height, check the fit range on the product page. Every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks, part of why a one-size build still fits most adults comfortably.

The unglamorous half of this category is the batteries. Every design above runs on 4 AA batteries, around four hours and a little over on some, and that is the ceiling: when the fan stops, the costume stops. A spare set in a pocket is the difference between wearing it all night and carrying it. Adult styles are the large majority of the inflatable costumes we sell, and fit and runtime are what to settle before you order.

Frequently asked questions

What is an adult inflatable costume?

It is a polyester shell that a small battery-powered fan keeps inflated for as long as the batteries last. Ours run on 4 AA batteries and hold their shape for up to 4 hours or more depending on the design. All of ours are built head-free, so your face stays clear instead of sealed behind a plastic window.

What is the best giant inflatable costume for adults?

The Giant Chicken, Giant Frog, and Giant Diplodocus are our best-selling inflatables so far this year, the Chicken out in front. All three are built at the same oversized scale, so the decision is which animal you want to be.

What is the best alien inflatable costume?

Our Alien Costume Inflatable Pick Me Up is the one we make. Instead of a straight alien-suit shape, a pair of fake alien legs dangle below your own, so you look like you are being carried off.

Do you sell any character-based inflatable costumes?

Yes. Our Power Rangers Megazord Inflatable Megamorph puts you inside the character at giant-robot scale, the place to start if you would rather be a character than a giant animal.

How long does an inflatable costume run on batteries?

All five run on 4 AA batteries: up to 4 hours on some, over four on others, listed with each pick above. Bring a spare set if the night runs past one party.
