Questions parents ask

Still wondering? Call (866) 306-1384 and talk to a person.

How much is a character visit?

The current first hour starts at $255 per character. Every additional half-hour adds $80. Choose up to seven hours. Your estimate shows the full price before you enter contact details.

What do I pay online?

You can pay online when you’re ready to book. The checkout shows your deposit and the balance to pay the performer on party day.

Is my character available when I get an estimate?

An estimate is a price calculation. It does not confirm availability. Your character, date and location need confirmation separately.

Which activities are included?

Check the character page for its published activity list. The published program is a sample. We confirm the activities, materials and timing for your visit with you separately.

What if my child is shy?

Add a note about the welcome that suits your child. You can request a gentle introduction, time to watch and a quieter first moment.

Can the party be outside?

Discuss the venue and an indoor backup. Check the venue rules yourself, including shelter reservations and any permission needed for entertainment.

Character parties in California

Find a birthday character your child cannot wait to meet, then choose the city where the celebration will happen. California brings many settings to that decision: a coastal backyard, an inland party room or a picnic spot can each call for a different arrangement. Browse the themes above and tell the team whether your child would love playful action, a princess greeting or time beside a familiar mascot.

This state page helps you compare regional planning choices and find a city page for your request. The actual address, children's ages and guest count will make the plan more useful than a statewide assumption. Venue examples below are places to investigate, with outside-entertainer permission and availability checked separately. Every suggested activity is a starting point for your own party programme.

Planning a character visit in California

Matching the character to the child

Start with what the birthday child talks about most. A younger child who loves a gentle animal character may enjoy a quiet greeting, a few slow songs and a photo with the costumed guest. An older child may prefer a character with action, riddles or a short challenge to lead the group. Ask the entertainer which characters they perform and how the visit is shaped for each age range, rather than assuming a standard set of games.

It also helps to think about the moment you want the birthday child to have. Some families choose a welcome at the door, so the guest of honour is the first person the character greets. Others prefer a surprise that happens during the party. Describe the child's personality to the entertainer, including whether they are shy, excitable or easily overwhelmed, so the visit can be adapted.

Arrival and handing over the venue

Plan the arrival before the day. Tell the entertainer where to park, which entrance to use and who will meet them. If the venue is a public facility, confirm the check-in process and whether a staff member needs to be present. Ask the venue whether there are rules about outside entertainers, decorations or amplified sound, and whether any approval must be in place before the visit.

On the day, give the entertainer a short handover: the birthday child's name, any sensitivities, the number of children, and when cake or gifts will happen. If the venue has its own contact, share the phone number and the time you expect the guest to arrive. A simple written plan reduces confusion and lets the character focus on the children.
