Stilt walkers, jugglers, hoopers and other costumed characters stroll through out your event and bring the entertainment right to you with no staging required. We have a plethora of costume themes available as well; everything from carnival, western, seasonal and more! We also have a wonderful collection of holiday costumes!

BUBBLE SHOW &
BUBBLE PLAYZONE

The bubble show is a great hit for younger children and is also fun for the older kids and even adults. It is a very interactive show with the kids taking turns making the bubbles. It is also a great photo opportunity.

The show is 40 minutes long. Recommended for ages 0-6.

For outdoor parties we offer an interactive bubble play station. This activity is very fun for children of all ages and wonderful for fairs, festivals, and school events.

Space needs: We need a large indoor area for the show, at least 10x10 ft for the stage area, plus additional space for the children to sit. We cover the floor with tarps and bring towels to clean up any mess. We can not guarantee the kid-inside-a-bubble trick outside.

For outdoor parties we suggest placing on grass. Smooth slick surfaces are not recommended for outdoor bubbles.

FACE PAINTING & BALLOON TWISTING

Not just for kids! Children and adults alike love face painting and balloon twisting.

Face painting serves about 15 persons per hour, Balloon Twisting serves about 30 persons per hour.
