Puppet Shows for Birthday Parties

Book a Puppet Show for Your Party and Amaze Your Guests!

Worried about keeping 30+ kids engaged at your child's birthday party? Our interactive puppet comedy shows solve that problem with 35-45 minutes of non-stop laughter and participation.

Unlike passive entertainment where kids just watch, our silly puppets invite children into the show through jokes, songs, and playful storytelling. Even the shyest kids get involved, and parents consistently tell us they laughed just as much as their children.

With 26+ years of experience and 274+ five-star reviews, we've perfected the art of keeping kids ages 2-10 engaged, entertained, and talking about the show long after the party ends. We arrive on time, set up quickly, and deliver a stress-free experience so you can actually enjoy your child's special day.

Plenty of these shows happen outdoors. Central Park in Fremont is one of our most-booked addresses anywhere in the East Bay, and we have set up at the Brook, Kennedy, and Mammoth picnic areas as well as beside the Sabercat playground. We also turn up at Quarry Lakes, Irvington Park, and Always Dream PlayPark. If that is your city, our kids' party entertainment in Fremont page lists the venues we know, the prices, and the answers to the picnic-area questions we get asked most.

We hired California Fun Kids last minute for my daughter’s 6th birthday because rain forced us to move her party indoors. They were amazing from start to finish! A couple days beforehand they sent clear instructions on how to prepare the space for the entertainer, which made everything stress-free. Payment was simple and straightforward.
The show itself was fantastic! my daughter said her favorite part was how funny the entertainer was! All the kids had such a great time and were fully engaged. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely hire them again. Highly recommend!

Just amazing!
We decided to do something different for our 5-year-old's birthday this year and hosted it at the park. Instead of the usual bounce house, I booked a puppet show I'd only heard about through word of mouth--without even seeing it beforehand. Sam showed up right on time and got the show going quickly. From the very start, the kids were completely captivated, and the parents were just as entertained. It was so fun to see something new and different at a birthday party. The kids loved being able to pet the puppets and laugh along with all their silly antics. Honestly, it became the highlight of the party--everyone was talking about it. Later, so many parents messaged me saying how memorable and special the party felt.

Puppet show birthday party questions

What actually happens during the show?

It's a live comedy show with handmade puppets, silly magic and ventriloquism, and the kids are part of it the whole time. They shout answers, help with tricks, and a few get called up as helpers.

Every puppet is built in our own workshop, so your kids won't have seen these characters anywhere else.

Is it OK for a 1st or 2nd birthday?

Yes, with one honest note. A one-year-old won't follow a story, but the older siblings, cousins and friends will, and first-birthday parties usually have plenty of them. If the room is mostly under-twos, go with the shorter 35-minute show.

Will the birthday child be part of the show?

Yes, that's the whole idea. The birthday child gets featured moments throughout the show and a special job near the end. Tell us their name when you book, and how to say it.

Can I book just the puppet show, without the magic?

In the Puppet & Magic Duo the puppets and the magic are one story, so that's the usual way to get puppets. If you have a puppet-only show in mind, text us and we'll tell you what we can do for your date.

Can you match our party theme?

Yes. Tell us the theme when you book and we'll work it into the jokes, the puppets and the balloons. Dinosaurs, jungle safari, pirates, unicorns, superheroes, Halloween and holiday themes are all common.

How much space do you need?

About 6 by 6 feet for the performer, plus floor space in front for the kids to sit. A living room, backyard, garage, patio or party room all work.

Do you perform at parks?

Yes, often. The main thing we need is shade, because the performer and the kids can't sit in full afternoon sun for 45 minutes. We bring our own power if there's no outlet.

Reserve a picnic area if your park takes reservations, and bring a couple of blankets for the kids to sit on.

How much is a puppet show for a birthday party?

The Puppet & Magic Duo is $375 for 45 minutes, and it's the one most families pick. The two-hour Ultimate Entertainment package is $575 and adds balloon twisting, dance games, a cake ceremony and a photo op. There's no deposit and no travel fee.

How do I check if my date is free?

Text or call (925) 605-4655 with your date, time, city and your child's age, or use our online booking form. We check all four performers' calendars and get back to you.

Booking for a school, preschool, library or camp? Those programs have their own pages, with vendor paperwork included: school assembly shows and preschool puppet show.
