What our customers think...

It was the perfect birthday for almost 20 kids! It wasn't overwhelming and it was perfect for all the kids and parents.
- Olivia, August 2025
Susan was awesome--the kids loved her, and they are tweens, so that says a lot! Susan was engaging and friendly from the beginning, and encouraged the birthday kid to take an active lead in the party plan.
Sherri, August 2025
Farmer Ken was wonderful! He was so friendly and engaging with our group of 4 and 5 year olds. He answered all of their questions with patience and engaged each of them. He gave (E) the best birthday!
