We hired Fun Factory Parties for our annual school event at TeWinkle Park in Costa Mesa, where families and children from kindergarten through 6th grade attended. We booked two pony rides along with a petting zoo, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The petting zoo had around 30 to 35 friendly animals, which was a great size for the event and kept the kids entertained. Their staff handled all of the setup, stayed organized throughout the day, and did an excellent job helping the children interact safely with the animals. The ponies were calm and gentle, and the handlers made sure every child had a safe and enjoyable ride. Everyone was professional, on time, and easy to work with, and the kids had a fantastic time. We'd definitely recommend them for school events or large family celebrations.

Found this place to hire a couple ponies to come out to our school event at Redondo Beach Montessori. They did a great job with both the ponies and the staff that supervised the kids. All the setup was on time and I appreciated that they took the time to make sure everything was cleaned up before they left and looked the same as when they arrived. The kids loved it and the animals were great for their age range.

We hired Woody and Buzz Lightyear from Fun Factory Parties for our street fair in West Hollywood, and they were a huge hit. We had the streets closed for the afternoon and wanted something fun that families and kids would really enjoy. The characters looked fantastic, spent lots of time taking pictures, waving to everyone, and interacting with the children all throughout the event. They brought so much energy and helped create a really fun atmosphere. Everything from booking to the day of the event was easy, the communication was great, and they arrived on time ready to go. We'd definitely use them again for another community event.

We hired two characters from Bluey for our school event at Bright Horizons in Santa Monica. They were a huge hit with the kids. The costumes looked bright, colorful, and same as the cartoons characters without being overwhelming or scary for the smaller children. The entertainers did a great job keeping the preschoolers busy with fun music, simple games, and lots of interaction.
The costumes were clean and looked  brand new, which made the experience great for pictures. The kids were so excited to see Bluey and had a great time taking photos and playing with them during the activities. Parents were snapping pictures the whole time, and several people asked us where we found them. They were a great addition to our event, and we would definitely book again for future school character type parties. Seems like they have a pretty good selection of the popular characters.

Every year, our store hosts a special event at West Hollywood Gateway, and we usually bring in a balloon twister for the full day. We always get a large turnout with a steady flow of kids, so we need someone who can work quickly, handle a crowd confidently, and consistently deliver high-quality balloon designs throughout the event.
This year, Mr. Twist did an excellent job! His balloon creations were impressive, and he kept the crowd engaged with a great sense of humor and strong interaction skills. He handled the busy environment really well and kept things moving without slowing down, even during the peak times.
Overall, his performance reflected very positively on our store and helped create a fun, welcoming atmosphere for our customers. It added a lot of goodwill to the event and made the entire experience more enjoyable for the people and families attending.

We had 3 Paw Patrol characters come out to our preschool in Encino to do a little program with the kids for 2 hours. They all love Paw Patrol and watch it every day so we knew they would be a big hit. The main thing I was concerned about was the quality of the costumes. I've been hiring characters for quite a while and my experiences have been mixed. Sometimes the costumes look good and sometimes not so much. Even if you see pics of the costumes on the company website sometimes they don't really match up in real life. I always use Fun Factory because after 3 times of renting their characters the quality of their mascots has always been really good, and the performers they send are always really good with the kids, not overly pushy and they give the kids space to relax in case any are scared. Seems like they have a lot of experience with younger kids and toddlers which is important.  They bring the right type of games for the kids do, all easy stuff that even pre - schoolers can do.  I like that they are reliable and good with communication throughout the process and leading up to the event day.

We had a really fun experience working with this company for a recent corporate event and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We decided to hire several costume characters for a meet-and-greet and walk-around, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the entire event. From the start, the booking process was simple and straightforward, and their team was easy to communicate with every step of the way. On the day of the event, all of the performers arrived together, right on time, and fully prepared. The costumes honestly exceeded our expectations—they looked clean, well-maintained, and very true to the characters. That was a big deal for us because we specifically didn’t want anything that looked worn out or low quality. Everything looked polished and professional, which really helped elevate the overall feel of the event. What stood out just as much as the appearance was the energy of the performers. The people in the suits were friendly, outgoing, and did a great job interacting with guests throughout the event. They kept things fun without being overwhelming and made it easy for people to jump in for photos and conversations. Overall, it was a smooth, stress-free experience, and the level of service definitely matched what we were hoping for. For the quality, professionalism, and ease of booking, it was absolutely worth it, and we would definitely use them again for future events.

I was asked to help organize entertainment for a work party, and I’ll admit right away that kids’ party planning is not usually my thing. Most of our company events are adults only, so I wasn’t really sure where to even begin. After a little searching online, I found Fun Factory and decided to give them a try.What I really appreciated right away was how easy they were to talk to. Instead of pushing a bunch of expensive extras, they asked normal, practical questions—how many kids were coming, what ages they were, how big the party would be, things like that. It honestly felt like they were trying to help me figure out what would actually work best, not just sell me a long list of add-ons.Their website was also very simple to navigate, which was helpful since I was trying to handle this in between a million other tasks. I requested a quote and had a detailed written response in about half an hour. Out of the four companies I contacted, they were easily the fastest to respond. When I asked for a phone call, they called me back right away, which I really appreciated. The other places were more of the back-and-forth email and voicemail situation, which can get frustrating when you're on a deadline.They suggested a few entertainment options that made a lot of sense for our event, and we were able to finalize everything in under an hour. As a busy mom, that alone was a huge win for me. It meant I could check one more thing off my list and move on to the rest of the planning.They also stayed in touch leading up to the event and even followed up afterward to see how everything went. That level of communication really stood out. Even if their price was maybe a little higher than one or two of the other companies I looked at, the time saved and the smooth experience made it completely worth it.We ended up booking Minions characters, a balloon twister, and a magician, and they were all fantastic. The kids were thrilled, parents were happy, and everything ran right on schedule. From my experience, this is a company you can trust to do exactly what they promise.

Used this place to hire a little petting zoo for our little girl's 4thd bday party. She loves animals and she's the right age for a zoo, she loves to be around any kind of animal and when we take her to the zoo she loves it. So a birthday zoo seemed like a perfect idea. We had 18 kids both boys and girls, all from basically her same age plus some older family members and friends of our son. The kids loved the zoo and their staff did a great job. Amanda who helped set it up and clean up after was terrific with the kids, super sweet and helpful. We had the zoo 2 hours which was plenty of time, actually we maybe didn't even need that long.  When she's bigger we will probably do it again and also get a pony but it felt like she was still too young for that this time around. But I was impressed by the service and happy to see that animals looked healthy and well taken care of.
