FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will my party have a party host the entire time of my party? Absolutely, for our private parties. Our party hosts are at your service from start to finish. In addition to supervising and assisting the children in the inflatable arenas, your party host(s) will also set-up and serve your cake, food and drinks. If you desire, your party host(s) will be happy to assist your child with gift opening. Our party hosts also take care of all clean-up. Please note, Open Play Parties (semi-private parties) do not receive a personal party host.

Am I allowed to tip the Party Host? Absolutely. Tipping is greatly appreciated. If you feel that any member of our staff did an outstanding job in helping your party run smoothly and organized or went above and beyond in serving your children, please feel free to tip. However, tipping is NOT required.

Can I bring confetti, silly string or streamers? No. If you use them, you will be subject to a $25 clean-up fee.

How early should we arrive before our scheduled party time? We suggest that you and your guests arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before your scheduled start time. This allows plenty of time for collecting waivers and reviewing our safety rules. We suggest you put your party’s actual start time on the invitation and add the word PROMPT. If you put an earlier time on the invitation to ensure your guests arrive on time, it could negatively affect those guests who arrive early by causing them to have to wait much too long with their children. It is best to have as little waiting time as possible for the kids. Please be sure to inform your guests that if a child arrives late, he or she will lose play time in the inflatable arenas, as the party must start at its designated time.

What else do I need to bring in besides my cake and/or cup cakes? Don’t forget candles. For all private parties, your party host(s) will cut and serve your cake for you if you wish.
