Where Orlando parents put a carnival.

Backyards, driveways, and neighborhood clubhouses all work across Central Florida. We need a flat area of about 30 by 30 feet and a standard outlet, not a venue.

Backyard birthdays

Flat grass, roughly 30 by 30. The setup most Orlando parties use.

Driveways and pavement

No yard needed. The booths go up on pavement exactly the same way.

Clubhouses and pool decks

Common across Central Florida neighborhoods. Check your HOA vendor rules and outlet access first, and we will tell you what to ask for.

Joint and sibling parties

Two birthdays, one carnival. A longer guest list is a tent question, not a second booking.

What arrives at your house.

We get there ahead of your start time, build the midway, work every booth for the full session, and pack all of it out. Nothing is dropped off for you to run.

  • Striped 10x10 booth tents, raised and struck by our crew
  • Four to eight classic booth games, depending on the package
  • A sticker for every kid who plays. Bring extra prizes of your own if you want a bigger payout
  • Trained hosts working every booth
  • Music through the session
  • Setup and cleanup, usually about 45 minutes on each end

Why parents book a midway instead of an inflatable.

Hosts work every booth

You are not handed a pile of games to run yourself. Our staff keep the booths moving and hand out the stickers.

We bring all of it

Tents, games, sound, and stickers, plus the crew. You provide a flat 30 by 30 area and a standard outlet.

Built for ages 3 to 12

Difficulty is set booth by booth, so a three-year-old and a fifth-grader can play the same game and both enjoy it.

Central Florida Saturdays fill early

The cooler months book first here. A deposit holds the date and the balance is due the day before.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you set up at our neighborhood clubhouse or pool deck?
Usually yes, and it is a common request across Central Florida. We need a flat area of about 30 by 30 feet and a standard outlet. Check with your HOA about vendor rules and whether they want a certificate of insurance, then tell us what they asked for and we will send it before your date.
How early does the crew arrive before the party starts?
About 45 minutes, which is enough to raise the tents, set the booths, and be ready before your first guest walks in. Pack-out takes about the same, so a one-hour party occupies roughly two and a half hours of your day.
Can two families share one carnival for a joint birthday?
Yes, and it is a good way to split the cost. A longer guest list changes the tent count rather than the booking, because each tent adds games and keeps more kids playing at the same time.
Can we add face painting or popcorn to the carnival?
Yes. Face painting, balloon twisting, and glitter tattoos are available by the hour, and popcorn and snow cones are flat-rate for a standard guest count. Ask for them when you inquire and we will bring the staff to run them.
How do you keep kids cool under the Florida sun?
Every booth sits under a tent, so there is shade at each one, and the games do not have kids sprinting in the heat. Morning and late-afternoon starts are the most comfortable for most of the year, and we will tell you what is still open on your date.
