Question 1

What’s a foam party like?

Accepted Answer

Not only will your event look EPIC, it will be. We bring our professional Flamingo Bubble Blaster and shoot out enough foam to cover an area 50' x 50' and up to 5 feet deep! While you and your guests are entertained in our foam, we play high-energy music to keep the atmosphere fun! In addition, we will lead your guests in a couple of games for prizes as well as throw out beach balls and other inflatables for you to bounce around and play with!

Question 2

Is the foam safe for adults, kids, pets and extraterrestrials?"

Accepted Answer

Yes ☺ Our foam is hypo-allergenic, non-toxic, dye-free, non-staining, biodegradable and gluten-free! It's safe for babies, kids, teenagers, adults, grandma, dogs, cats, grass, plants, E.T. and even safe for the environment!  It is as gentle as baby shampoo.
 
It consists of mostly water with two all-natural foaming agents which are also found in organic soaps, like Seventh Generation.  We like to say it’s soap without the soap!

Question 3

Is it slippery?

Accepted Answer

Surprisingly, the Foam does not make the ground very slippery at all. It’s mostly dense bubbles with minimal water and Foam solution added, so it does not leave a film on the ground like you might think. Surfaces can make a bit of a difference of course. Concrete, asphalt and rubber are best, while grass lawns can get just a little more slick. 
We don’t recommend dirt surfaces because they get muddy. And we CANNOT create a foam zone on a high-gloss surface, like marble tile or recently glazed area.

Question 4

Will it hurt my grass?

Accepted Answer

The foam itself will not harm your grass, but the feet running around may cause some wear. No more than any other activity you might have on your lawn, and certainly better than a giant, heavy inflatable though. 
We do recommend rinsing the area after it dries to remove any access bubble remains, but we have never had any problems.

Question 5

Who’s gonna clean up all this foam?

Accepted Answer

Getting rid of all the foam is a breeze! Our foam solution is designed to dissipate in the sun, but we like to spray down the foam zone before we leave the party.
 
If you opt out of us wanting to make it disappear for you, then we highly recommend that you still rinse off the foam zone area when finished even if all the foam has vanished.

Question 6

Will the foam get guests wet?

Accepted Answer

Running through foam may leave you damp and you can easily dry off in the sun. Playing in the foam pile for longer will get you wet, but not as wet as a slip n slide or pool.
 
Depending on how much you play in the foam, you may want to bring your favorite towel and perhaps a change of clothes!

Question 7

What should guests wear?

Accepted Answer

Lightweight shorts and shirts are recommended for those wanting to just run through the foam a couple times.
 
Swimsuits are suggested for any adults or kids who will be in the foam for longer periods of time. In addition, goggles are suggested for those who wish to play or sit in the foam zone for a while.

Question 8

How long is a party?

Accepted Answer

As long as you want! The length really depends on what type of party or event you're having. For something like a birthday party or day care, one to two hours is typical. For fairs, festivals, colleges and company events you may want more time added to accommodate the length of the event and the constant flow of guests. We offer multiple hour discounts.

Question 9

Where should I have my foam party?

Accepted Answer

Outdoors on a clear, open, flat area is best. Our flexible set up allows us to set up on grass, driveways, parking lots, sport courts, etc. We like to have at least a 20x20 space to work with, but can adjust to your needs.

Question 10

How long is the set-up?

Accepted Answer

Set-up is quick and easy. All we need is access to an outdoor faucet and a normal plug for electricity. We are able to set up and get going in as little as 20 minutes as long as the hose and electrical hook-ups have been identified and tested before hand.
