How many children can I invite?
The numbers are endless! If there are over 30 children or so, we may need more time so that we can pack the party full of activities. You can also hire out two entertainers or an extra face painter from Alakazam to double the fun and the madness!
How long is an average party?
An average birthday party is normally 90 mins - 2 hours, which is jam filled, choc-o-block with activities. The minimum for a party is one hour and there is no maximum time limit!
