I contacted this place when I was looking for somewhere to rent a Hello Kitty mascot costume. I didn't want like the type of costume that is just a mask. I wanted a actual hello kitty where you don't see the person wearing it at all like a mascot style. Those are pretty hard to find but fortunately I found this place online and they had exactly the type I was looking for. Their hello kitty costume is cute and well made, I was hoping to get the one where she's wearing a pink dress but the one they had the dress was blue but it was still cute. They rented it to us for 3 days the price was about $200. It came to our house by ups and then we returned it on Monday. To be able to find a hello kitty mascot style suit on short notice was really tricky, but they made it happen for us and saved the day.

I used this place to rent a huge waterslide for a big kid's party we had over on our farm. There was plenty of space and we knew it was going to be a hot day so a waterslide seemed like almost the perfect solution for a bunch of rowdy kids with plenty of room to run around and get crazy. This place had a really cool looking waterslide and the main thing is it's REALLY big. It had 2 side by side lanes where the kids slide down and actually you can get 3-4 kids going at once cuz it's wide enough. So there was plenty of room for everyone no problem. And also it worked great as far as having the water go down it, the guy who brought it showed us how to attach the hose and we got it all hooked up in maybe 20 minutes (plus another 10-15 minutes to wait for it to inflate because it's pretty big). The guy who brought it Alejandro did an awesome job and he double checked everything to make sure it was safe and even staked it down at the edges which it really didn't need but it shows that they do care about the kids safety. Probably good to know for a windier day or maybe a smaller size bouncer that can more easily get blown around. I've seen some crazy pics online of that! But anyway it went great, it made our event a huge hit and the kids were going crazy on it the entire day. We had it 8 hours and there wasn't even a minute when there weren't kids on it, so well worth it for the price.

We hired a kid's birthday party magician from this place for a party in October. We didn't invite a lot of kids due to social distancing but we still wanted something fun for them to do. The magician did a great job, his show was funny and he got all the kids involved which is good for smaller kids with short attention spans. The price was a little bit over our budget to be honest but it was still worth it. They charged us  a little bit more than normal because we are pretty far away from where they are located so they added about $20 for travel which I totally understand. It was easy to set up the event and the company was pretty responsive about confirming, being on time etc. I was overall impressed with the quality of the magician package and feel like we definitely got a good show for the money we spent.

I used this company to rent a birthday party magic clown entertainer and also a jumpy house. It was for a bunch of mostly 6-7-8 year olds but there were a few kids both older and younger than that. The jumper was good cause it was good for all the kids even the small kids could go in along with the bigger kids. It's probably a good idea to keep an eye on the jumper if there's a bunch of big kids in there with little ones lol .

But we had no issues and the jumper was clean and pretty big actually. The clown magician they sent out was great, he did a short little magic show like 20 minutes and than did balloon animal twisting for everyone. The magic show was actually the right amount of time for young kids cause I think longer than that their attention would kind of wander. I liked being able to get everything I needed in terms of the party entertainment from just one place and not have to make a bunch of different calls.

We hired this company to provide a magician and pony ride for a little girl's 6th birthday party. The magician was really good for that age range of kids. He did a little magic show and he let the birthday girl be his assistant. It was really fun and we got some great pictures. The pony was clean and perfect for small kids, everyone got a chance to ride and we did group pics afterwards. It was really nice being able to arrange everything in one place with just a couple phone calls and emails.

We hired Funfactory to bring a mobile animal petting zoo and birthday party pony to a 4 year old child's party. Both items were a big hit. The animals were fun and cute. The staff that brought the animals were very attentive. They set up everything in advance and it all went really well. The pony was the perfect size for smaller children to be able to ride on. After the event the staff took everything down and cleaned up and left our yard in perfect shape. Renting a pony and mobile petting zoo is a terrific idea for a toddler's event. The kids had a fun time, it was easy and if you have just a little bit of space in your backyard it's a great party idea.

I hired Poppy and Branch from the movie Trolls to come out and entertain a group of about 14 4 and 5 year old kids at a Trolls theme birthday party we had at our house. I looked online for a while before deciding which company to hire. I chose Funfactory for a few reasons. First of all their Trolls mascot costumes looked GREAT! Super authentic and just like the real party characters. I have seen Trolls costumes from other companies that didn't look nearly as good. Next, every single time I had to call or email them with a question I got a response back VERY fast. That made me feel secure that someone was actually going to show up on our party date. Also I could see that they already have a lot of 5 star reviews which tells me that they have been in business for a long time and have a very good reputation. I have to say, they did NOT disappoint on any level. Yes they came on time and yes, the Trolls mascot costumes looked GREAT! I can say for sure that the kids totally believed that Poppy and Branch Trolls had actually showed up at their birthday party! Super fun birthday party idea and well worth the price. Thank you to Funfactory for coming through and helping to make our child's birthday party a hit during these difficult and challenging times. You will definitely hear from us again for all our future parties!

I hired this company to send a magician to a 6th birthday party with about 15 kids. The ages of the kids basically ranged from toddlers up to about 12. We also had maybe 20 adults and parents at the party. The magic show entertainer they sent was great. He stayed for about an hour and really kept the kids involved during the entire time.  His show was funny and he went out of his way to include the birthday boy and make him feel like the star of the show, which I thought was a really nice touch. Hiring a magician turned out to be a good birthday party idea for an age range of kids, because it's something that younger children can do along with older kids and even the parents watched the show. The magician was great with the kids, very patient and on their level but still professional and kept things moving along. At the end of the magic part of the show he did some simple balloon twisting which was a nice touch. He made a birthday crown for the birthday boy and just basic stuff like swords and flowers but the kids loved getting a toy. I think a magician is a good way to go if you are having a mixed age range of children, and this company has some really good magician entertainers to choose from.
