How to Choose the Right Soft Play Package for Your Child's Party

Planning your child's birthday party should be filled with excitement, not stress.

At Party Playground Company, we understand that creating magical memories for your little one is what matters most. We decided to start Party Playground Company after renting soft play equipment for our first son's own first birthday party. Seeing him throw balls in the ball pit and laugh for hours with the other children warmed our hearts, and the experience made his first birthday incredibly special and memorable.

Through Party Playground Company, it is our mission to provide the same special experience to you and your child. Parties and events can be stressful to plan, so we aim to deliver the fun to you and allow you to soak it all in with your loved ones. By offering a variety of packages, we ensure that you'll have the perfect soft play setup for your event or party that toddlers of all ages will love!

But with nine different package options available, how do you choose the perfect one for your child's special day? Let's break down everything you need to know to make the best decision for your celebration.

Key Factors to Help You Choose

1. Consider Your Guest Count and Ages

Small Packages work wonderfully for:

  • 5 children or less
  • Younger toddlers (1-3 years) who may be overwhelmed by larger setups
  • First birthday parties
  • Intimate family gatherings

Medium Packages are perfect for:

  • 5-7 children
  • Mixed age groups (1-5 years)
  • When you want more variety without overwhelming your space

Large Packages are ideal for:

  • 7-10+ children
  • Older toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years) who can handle more challenging play
  • Milestone birthdays or special celebrations
  • When you want to create the ultimate play experience

2. Evaluate Your Available Space

All our packages are designed to fit in standard party spaces, but it's important to measure your area:

Small Packages (10 ft x 13 ft):

  • Perfect for living rooms, small community rooms, or compact outdoor areas
  • Requires 130 square feet of clear space
  • Ideal for apartments or smaller homes

Medium & Large Packages (10 ft x 20 ft):

  • Suitable for larger living areas, garages, community centers, or outdoor spaces
  • Requires 200 square feet of clear space
  • Perfect for houses with open floor plans or rented venues

Important space considerations:

  • Ensure adequate clearance around the setup for safe supervision
  • Consider ceiling height and doorway access for our delivery team
  • Remember that children will need space to move around the equipment safely

3. Understanding the Equipment Differences

Ball Pits: The jump from our 3-ft circular ball pit (500 balls) in Small packages to our 6-ft square ball pit (2,000 balls) in Medium and Large packages is significant. The larger ball pit allows for more children to play simultaneously and provides a more immersive sensory experience.

Slides: Medium packages include a Ball Pit Slide for safe, fun entry into the ball pit. Large packages feature both the Ball Pit Slide AND a Large Climb & Slide Combo, offering multiple sliding experiences and more complex play opportunities.

Climbing Elements: All packages include our Climbing Bridge, but Large packages add the Large Climb & Slide Combo, providing more challenging climbing opportunities for confident, active children.

Add-On Options to Enhance Your Party

Bounce Castle Add-On ($150)

Dimensions: 9 ft x 9 ft x 7 ft tall

Bounce Area: 6 ft x 6 ft

Perfect for: 2-5 children aged 1-5 years

Level up any package with our bounce castle! This exciting addition requires a nearby electrical outlet to power the blower and provides a different type of active play that complements our soft play equipment perfectly.

Custom Decals (Starting at $75)

Transform your soft play setup with custom decals to match your party's theme! Share your vision with us, and we'll create personalized designs that provide incredible photo opportunities and bring extra special attention to your little one's big day.

Canopy Rentals

Small Package Coverage: 10 ft x 10 ft (one canopy needed)

Medium/Large Package Coverage: 10 ft x 20 ft (two canopies needed)
