Find the Right Kids Party Entertainer in Adelaide

Booking a Kids Party Entertainer: What to Know

A good entertainer turns a backyard, lounge room or community hall into the party itself. In Adelaide the main choice is between a presenter who brings animals for the children to meet and a face painting and balloon team who keep a queue of kids busy for an hour or more.

Both come to you, and both cover most of the metropolitan suburbs.

How to pick the right act:

  • Animal shows suit toddlers through to tweens, with a presenter handling native animals and letting children touch and hold them under supervision.
  • Face painting and balloon twisting work well for preschoolers and early primary ages, with packages from $240.
  • Some packages add party games, lolly bags and a prize, which saves planning the activities yourself.
  • Count the children: one painter moves through a group faster than you might think, but a big class may need a longer booking.

Pair an entertainer with simple food and a cake, and the party needs little else. For a bigger outing, see the wider children's party guide.

Setting up at home

  • An animal presenter needs a calm, shaded area where children can sit in a circle, away from pets.
  • Face painters need a table, two chairs and good light, ideally near a tap.
  • In summer heat, plan the show for the cooler part of the day or move it indoors.
  • Winter is the wet season in Adelaide, so have a room ready even if the plan is outdoors.

Questions for the entertainer

  • How long does the booking run, and how many children can it handle comfortably?
  • Do you hold public liability insurance and a working with children check?
  • What products are used for face paint, and can you skip anyone with sensitive skin?
  • Is travel to our suburb included, or charged on top?
  • What happens if a child is nervous or not interested in taking part?
