What is the Age Limit?Our soft play equipment is designed for children from crawling age up to 5 years old. Older children tend to be more active, so our soft play setup ensures that younger kids or toddlers can enjoy themselves safely without the risk of injury from older kids in the same space. For Older Kids: We offer a larger Dream house as a separate setup, along with age appropriate activity workshops, speciality parties, and party rentals (movies, Teepees etc). Our large Castle (13x13) is perfect for all ages- including adults!

Are There Any Additional Fees?NY State sales tax is applied. Outdoor events are subject to a $75 fee due to the extra equipment and cleaning that is needed for outdoor setups. We will only set up on flat, clean surfaces such as dry concrete, grass and turf. We will not set up on rocks, dirt, sand, tall grass, mulch or any uneven or muddy surface due to the safety of the children. On day of the party- a $100 damage/security deposit is required. It will be returned after the party within 3 days once equipment has been inspected and is found to be in the same condition as before the party and not damaged in anyway. Further damage charges may apply.

If the party is postponed, we will apply the retainer amount as a credit for a future event within the same year. Any personalized items must be paid for however- if a order was already placed.

What is Your Rain/Weather Condition Policy?We understand weather can be tricky! Our equipment cannot get wet. For outdoor events, you assume all weather-related risks. If it rains before your event is set up, we will work with you to find a suitable solution. We can set up indoors. All outdoor parties must have a indoor space designated as a backup at time of booking. If you cannot move your party indoors, we will reschedule your event. It is important to note that for safety reasons, we are unable to set up our bouncy castles in winds over 15 mph. On Hot & Sunny days- all outdoor events will require a shaded area or canopy to protect the children and equipment from getting hot and or damaged from inclement weather. We offer canopy rentals also! Please note: Once the equipment is set up, no refunds will be issued- but we will work with you to reschedule based on mutual availability for the same year.
-
Is there a Waiver form?Yes. It is the client's responsibility to ensure that there is responsible adult supervision (18+) of the equipment and the children using it at all times. Please consider the appropriate ratio of children to adult guardians. A liability waiver must be signed along with the contract at the time of booking confirmation. Once we set up the play area and leave, the client is liable for any injury and/or damage to our equipment.
-
Outdoor Parties Requirement & ChargesFor outdoor events we prefer a canopy or a shaded area to begin setup. It is for the safety of the kids and the equipment from the hot sun and weather. You can rent a 10x10 canopy from us for a discounted fee or welcome to provide your own. Set up must be on level ground, free from mud, sand, rocks etc. Soft Play equipment cannot get wet. Grass must be cut at least 24 hours in advance. We use extra equipment for outside setups but there may still be some unevenness in the mats due to them being on the grass. Outdoor parties require extra equipment and cleaning and are subject to a extra outdoor fee ($75).
