California Kids Fun did a phenomenal job of entertaining adults as well as kids. He was on time, professional, and very friendly. In fact, he had to wait because our guests arrived late but was super accommodating. Also, we borrowed his extension cord which he generously provided, and was patient till we finished our work. I highly recommend HBK to everyone. I Will spread the word.

California Kids Fun hosted my daughter’s virtual 4th birthday party via zoom. There were 12-15 kids who participated. The kids were engaged the whole time, laughed a ton, and had lots of fun. I was super impressed. Excellent value for the cost. He was available if needed to chat. The whole process was easy and professional.

I have never had an entertainer in my party previously and lucky me that the first one I had was California Kids Fun. They are very professional and highly skilled. They were on point in contacting me and reminding me that they were ready for my upcoming event. On the day of the event, they were quick to set up their equipment. And as soon as they started the show the kids were busy all I could hear is laughter and giggles. They are on my speed dial now for my next event. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

What is the intended age group for your kids entertainment /Are my children too young or old?

We offer a variety of different kids entertainment suited for all age groups from toddlers/pre-K to elementary school. We’ve got something for everyone.

Do you do kids entertainment at homes/parks/clubhouses/restaurants?

Yes, we travel to do shows at events at practically any location including homes, parks, clubhouses, restaurants, schools, libraries, religious buildings, fairs, festivals, and much more.

When is the best time to schedule your show during the event? (eg: before or after food/cake)

It’s suggested to allow 15 to 30 minutes between the party’s start time and the show’s start time just to allow for late arrivals to make it in so they don’t miss the show. Aside from that, show scheduling is up to the customer’s discretion based on how they would like their event to be scheduled. We do not have any personal preference for when our shows should be scheduled during the party. However, we are here to help should you need help with scheduling.

Is food allowed during the kids entertainment?

We try to avoid having the kids eating or carrying any food items during our kids entertainment. Our shows are interactive so things tend to get spilled when the kids get up, and the kids’ hands may be dirty with food residue when they touch the puppets. Exceptions can be made for food that is not particularly messy, just ask during the booking process.

Can your shows be adapted to fit a particular party theme?

Absolutely! At California Kids Fun, we don’t just entertain, we bring your party theme to life. Whether it’s a silly puppet show, magical moments, or creative balloon twisting, we tailor every performance to match your celebration’s unique vibe.

We even offer a special themed mixed package that includes:

  • Themed Silly Puppet & Magic Activities

  • Themed Balloon Twisting

  • Themed Music & Games
    All in one fun-filled 1.5-hour experience for just $425.

ARRIVAL TIME AND SPACE REQUIREMENT

What is your arrival time and how much space do you need?

As for my arrival time, I usually arrive just about 15 minutes beforehand as my setup is quick, simple, and compact.
I can arrive a little earlier if need be, but just to let you know my setup is easily transportable, not overly large, and non-disruptive to any nearby guests.

Do you perform outdoors?

Yes, we perform outdoors as long as the weather permits it. It is good to have a backup plan for outdoor kids entertainment just in-case of any unexpected weather conditions such as heavy winds or rain.
