Frequently Asked Questions

Our pricing varies depending on the size of the event, services required, and the travel involved. We have a general breakdown of our costs but every event is different. Please reach out with your event size, date and location and we will send you a quote. We would love to be at your event and will try our best to accommodate all event sizes and circumstances. 

The mechanical bull requires one 240 volt/50 amp power outlet and one regular 120 volt power outlet. The 240 volt outlet can often be found behind an oven or dryer but if those options don't work, we often have an electrician install an outlet or a generator can be used. We will ask to confirm which power source will be used before the event date. 

We take safety serious here at Buddy Bull Northwest. Our bull has a padded head, two layers of inflatable cushions to land on and is only operated by a trained professional. As with any type of ride or amusement, there is a level of danger. The jolting movement or an awkward fall could result in a minor injury. After all, it is a mechanical BULL. For the most part, we take it easy and let it buck just enough to gently toss you off the hide. Unless a tip is involved, then we might turn it up to 'belt buckle mode' ;) 

We have $2,000,000 in general liability insurance to protect your event and the riders. We do have riders agree to our terms and conditions stating that the rider knows the risks of riding a mechanical bull and they are choosing to ride knowing there is risk of injury. We provide every event with a certificate of insurance with the events address, date and clients name.

No age requirement and no height requirement. Our mechanical bull is great for kids! We usually go very slow and let them ride for a minute or so and then stop the bull to have a parent lift them off. We have seen young kids and grandparents ride the bull and they all love it!

We are based in Salem, Oregon but will travel anywhere that's looking for a good time! Send us a message and let's talk about renting a mechanical bull for your event!
