Do you perform at parks, homes, and backyards in San Jose?

Yes! We bring our entertainment to homes, backyards, parks, clubhouses, community centers, schools, and other event venues throughout San Jose.

We serve neighborhoods including Willow Glen, Almaden Valley, Evergreen, Berryessa, Cambrian Park, and surrounding areas.

For outdoor parties, a flat, shaded area is ideal. If you're booking a public park, check the official San Jose park picnic reservation information before your event.

How much space do you need for the show?

About 6 × 6 feet of clear performance space is usually enough, although an 8 × 8-foot area is ideal when available.

We also need room in front for the children to sit comfortably. A living room, patio, backyard, or community room can work well.

We bring our own puppets, magic props, and sound equipment.

Do you need electricity or a stage?

No stage is required, and we can provide our own power when an electrical outlet is unavailable.

We bring a compact sound system and microphone. Please tell us if your park or venue restricts amplified sound so we can plan accordingly.

When should we schedule the show during the party?

We recommend starting the show about 15–30 minutes after your party begins, giving guests time to arrive and settle in.

Our entertainer typically arrives around 15 minutes before showtime to set up. We suggest serving food and cake before or after the performance.

What if it rains on the day of our outdoor party?

If you have an indoor backup location, such as a living room, garage, or clubhouse, we can usually move the show indoors.

Please call or text us as soon as your plans change so we can discuss the options.

Can you match our child's birthday party theme?

Yes! Tell us what your child loves. We can incorporate theme-inspired jokes, puppet interactions, magic moments, and balloon creations where possible.

Popular themes include dinosaurs, jungle safari, pirates, superheroes, princesses, and holiday celebrations.

We hired California Fun Kids last minute for my daughter’s 6th birthday because rain forced us to move her party indoors. They were amazing from start to finish! A couple days beforehand they sent clear instructions on how to prepare the space for the entertainer, which made everything stress-free. Payment was simple and straightforward.
The show itself was fantastic! my daughter said her favorite part was how funny the entertainer was! All the kids had such a great time and were fully engaged. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely hire them again. Highly recommend!

Just amazing!
We decided to do something different for our 5-year-old's birthday this year and hosted it at the park. Instead of the usual bounce house, I booked a puppet show I'd only heard about through word of mouth--without even seeing it beforehand. Sam showed up right on time and got the show going quickly. From the very start, the kids were completely captivated, and the parents were just as entertained. It was so fun to see something new and different at a birthday party. The kids loved being able to pet the puppets and laugh along with all their silly antics. Honestly, it became the highlight of the party--everyone was talking about it. Later, so many parents messaged me saying how memorable and special the party felt.
