Question 1

What is included in each package?

Accepted Answer

Each package lists what is included and the available party lengths. Some packages focus on face painting and balloons, while others include a full mix like magic, games, bubble disco, karaoke and more. If you tell us the age group and what your child enjoys, we will guide you to the best option.

Question 2

Do I need to choose a theme?

Accepted Answer

Themes are only needed for selected packages. If a theme is required, the booking form will prompt you to choose one. For other packages, you can simply book without selecting a theme.

Question 3

Which areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We cover Dublin and surrounding areas including Meath, Kildare, Wicklow and Westmeath. If your location is outside Dublin, there may be a small travel fee depending on distance.

Question 4

How do you decide if a location is outside Dublin?

Accepted Answer

If you type a location that does not include the word Dublin and the eircode does not start with D, the booking form will show a note that a small travel fee may apply. If you are unsure, just submit the booking form and we will confirm the details with you.

Question 5

How much space do you need?

Accepted Answer

A cleared space in a living room or hall is usually perfect. We also need a small table and chair for face painting, plus access to a plug socket for music and equipment.

Question 6

When should we serve party food?

Accepted Answer

Most parties run best if food happens before we arrive or after the entertainment finishes. If you need to do food during the booking, the easiest time is at the very start or right at the end.

Question 7

How long does face painting take?

Accepted Answer

Face painting is one to one, so timing depends on the number of children and how detailed the designs are. If you have a big group, simpler designs help keep the queue moving smoothly.

Question 8

Do parents need to stay in the room?

Accepted Answer

Yes. An adult should be in the home or venue area at all times. We keep the party flowing, but parents remain responsible for supervision and behaviour.

Question 9

What if a child is disruptive?

Accepted Answer

We keep things positive and engaging, but if a child is repeatedly disruptive, a parent needs to step in. It keeps the party enjoyable for everyone.

Question 10

Can we have a bouncy castle as well?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For the best experience, it helps to pause the bouncy castle during structured parts like magic and organised games so the group stays engaged.

Question 11

How does booking work?

Accepted Answer

Submit the booking form with the package, date, time and location. We will come back to you with availability and confirm the details. The booking form helps make sure we have everything we need to quote and plan properly.

Question 12

Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Funland Kids Entertainment is fully insured for party entertainment services.

Question 13

What are your booking terms?

Accepted Answer

When you submit a booking enquiry, we will confirm availability, the package, timing, location and any travel charge if applicable before the booking is finalised. Party timings are based on the agreed start time, so it helps to have the space ready in advance.

Question 14

What if we need to reschedule?

Accepted Answer

If you need to move your party date, please let us know as early as possible and we will do our best to accommodate a new date, subject to availability.

Question 15

Do parents or guardians need to supervise during the party?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A parent or responsible adult must remain present and responsible for supervision and behaviour throughout the party.

Question 16

What do you need on the day?

Accepted Answer

For most home parties, we need a clear and safe space to entertain, a small table and chair for face painting where relevant, and access to a standard plug socket for music and equipment.

Question 17

Can parties take place outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Yes, provided the setup area is safe, level and suitable for children's activities, with access to power where needed. A suitable indoor or covered backup option is recommended in case of poor weather.
