What Affects the Price of a Canberra Kids Party?
Every quote is tailored to your party or event. Here’s what goes into it:
- How long you need us: 1, 1.5 or 2 hours, or longer for events
- What you book: face painting, balloon twisting, a magic show, a craft workshop or glitter
- How many children, and so how many entertainers
- Travel to your suburb
As a guide, one face painter or balloon twister does about 15 children an hour, so bigger groups may need two entertainers.

What Families Say
Canberra doesn’t have its own Google listing yet, so here are a few recent reviews of our Sydney team:
“I booked Mark the Magician and balloon maker for my daughter’s christening. Mark was so friendly and extremely professional to deal with. The kids had a great time and the adults loved watching his show as well.”
Marissa M., Google review of our Sydney team

For the last 2 years I have used Fly by Fun for our Christmas Family Day. The whole process has always been so seamless, from the booking process to the team that arrive on the day. Wrangling 120 children can be no easy task but the team manage it with such ease and make it look like a walk in the park. I couldn’t recommend Fly by Fun enough, they help add that special touch to our family event!
