Kids party entertainment in Boston — FAQs

Do you cover my area in Boston?

Yes! We serve all Boston neighborhoods — from Back Bay, Charlestown and Beacon Hill to South Boston, Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, and the Seaport — plus surrounding areas like Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline and Newton. Travel fees only apply if your event is more than 20 miles from Downtown Boston. We’ll confirm that when you reserve

What if it rains or the weather turns bad?

Boston weather can be unpredictable, so no worries — you can reschedule or move your party indoors free of charge up to 48 hours before the event. If you’re hosting in parks like the Boston Common, Christopher Columbus Park or the Esplanade, we recommend having a simple indoor backup such as your home, a community room or a rented event space.

How do entertainers handle parking and city access?

Parking in Boston can be tricky, especially around the North End, Back Bay and the Seaport. Our entertainers plan additional travel time and arrive early to find legal parking. If your building requires special entry instructions (front desk check-in, elevator access, loading area), just add that to your booking notes so we can arrive smoothly and set up on time.

Are there any park or venue rules we should know?

Yes, a few. Some Boston Parks & Recreation locations require permits for groups larger than 25, and certain indoor venues don’t allow balloons or face paint. The Esplanade and Boston Common also have specific guidelines for amplified music and vendor setup. We can help you check the rules for your chosen location and even provide insurance certificates (COIs) if your venue needs them.

Oli the magician was amazing! So great with the kids, so funny, and he had all the adults scratching their heads in confusion trying to figure it out.

    We had Maggie for face painting she was fantastic—the kids adored her, she worked beautifully and quickly, and was such a cheerful presence at the party.
