Kids' Party Entertainers In Singapore Who Come To You: 30 Vendors, Real Prices And What Nobody Tells You

18 August 2026 · 12 min read

Booking a venue is the easy part of a children's birthday. Filling ninety minutes is the hard part.

The problem with researching it is that almost every guide to party entertainers in Singapore is a list of names with no prices, or prices copied from a listing site that has not been updated in three years. We went to each company's own website instead. Where a company does not publish a price, this guide says so rather than inventing a range.

What Things Actually Cost

Magic Shows

The most booked category, and the one with the widest price spread.

E Magical Moment is the only company in this table stating its prices are nett. Everyone else leaves GST unaddressed, which on a $600 package is a $54 difference you will not see until invoicing.

Mr Bottle's is the only operator segmenting packages by age properly: the Superb package is built for 3 to 6 year olds and the Splendid for 7 and above. Booking the wrong one is the commonest way to get a room of bored eight-year-olds.

Best for the 4 to 8 age band, where a 30-minute show still holds a room.

Face Painting, Balloons And Glitter Tattoos

Priced by the hour almost universally, and the second hour is always cheaper than the first.

Bubble Shows, Mascots And Character Parties

Two requirements worth reading twice. Fantasy Parties asks you to flag a ceiling under 3m and only works in air-conditioned venues, which rules out most void decks. Party People needs every fan switched off, which for a bubble or balloon act is non-negotiable and, in an un-airconditioned Singapore afternoon, worth warning your guests about.

Best for under-sixes, where a character matters more than a trick.

Mobile Nerf, Laser Tag And Archery

The strongest category for 7 to 12 year olds, and the one that most reliably travels to a void deck or a park.

Dart War states it plainly: they will bring everything to a park, condo function room or HDB void deck. That is the flexibility this category has and the venue-based ones do not.

Best for 7 to 12, and the only category that comfortably absorbs 20-plus children.

Science And Craft Parties

Food Carts That Come To You

Every cart needs one table and one 13-amp point per machine. Eclipse charges $20 a day to rent you a table if the venue has none, which is the kind of detail that decides a void deck booking.

JNR publishes its SFA licence number, PL25L0372, on the page. It is the only food vendor in this guide that does. If you are serving food to other people's children, that is worth asking for.

Three Things That Do Not Exist In Singapore

Guides written for other markets, or padded out with search results, will suggest all three. None is bookable here.

• Mobile petting zoos and pony parties. Extensive searching surfaced only American and Malaysian operators. This is consistent with AVS restrictions on commercial animal exhibition. If you want animals, Mandai is the venue-based answer.
• Mobile game trucks. Every result was a United States operator. The local equivalent is arcade machine rental delivered to your venue.
• Mobile pottery parties. Kiln firing keeps pottery studio-based. Travelling craft in Singapore means canvas, air-dry clay, tie-dye or terrarium.

The Thing Nobody Publishes: Several Of These Are The Same Company

These are observable facts from the companies' own websites, not a claim about who owns what:

• Party People, Big Top Events, Carnival People and Pixel Party all publish addresses at Mega@Woodlands, 39 Woodlands Close. Carnival People's mascot page links to the Party People website and serves a logo image file named for Big Top.
• Carnival Empire and Funfair.sg publish addresses in the same Woodlands Close complex.
• Team Bonding SG and Dart War share a phone number and both operate from The Cage at 38 Jalan Benaan Kapal.
• Combat Archery Tag is operated by FunEmpire, per its own contact block.
• Makors Events and PartyAllo publish identical wording, an identical $15 per child top-up and the same terms structure.

Two Traps In Every Quote

Nobody states GST

Not one vendor site in this category states its GST treatment on the price page. The only exceptions mark prices "nett" without saying whether that includes tax: E Magical Moment, Aiyo Event, Makors and Growerks. Assume every other figure excludes GST and add 9% before comparing.

Travel surcharges are real, but only for named areas

There is no general islandwide fee. There is a short list of places that cost extra:

Note that PartyMojo charges a different surcharge depending on which service you book, which no other vendor does. If you are holding the party at a Changi chalet, that detail alone is worth $25.

Space And Power: Check Before You Book

Almost every vendor needs something from your venue, and the requirements are published unevenly.

• A magic show needs about 2m by 2m of clear floor. PartyMojo states this; most do not.
• Fantasy Parties needs 3m by 3m against a solid wall indoors, or 3m by 5m outdoors, and asks you to flag any ceiling under 3m.
• Explorer Joe needs a minimum space of 8ft by 6ft and a power outlet.
• Every food cart needs one table and one 13-amp point per machine.
• PartyAllo is strictly indoor only.
• Toys4Rent adds labour charges for venues without lift access.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far ahead should I book an entertainer? Two to three weeks is the published minimum for most. Mad Science asks for three weeks, Happier for two, Party People for two to four. Weekend afternoon slots in the school holidays go first.

Do I need a licence for a performer at a void deck? No. Licensing covers entertainment the public can access. A private party for invited guests does not qualify.

How long should the entertainment run? A 30-minute show is standard and is usually enough. Packages running 90 minutes or more combine a show with fringe activities such as balloons or face painting, because very few performers can hold a room of small children for longer than half an hour.

What is the cheapest way to fill an hour? One balloon sculptor or face painter at $150. It occupies children continuously rather than for a fixed block, and it doubles as the party favour.

Are deposits refundable? Usually not. Mad Science charges a $300 non-refundable deposit. Happier confirms bookings only on full payment. Read the cancellation terms before you pay.

The honest summary of this category: prices are more consistent than the marketing suggests, the differences that matter are minimum headcounts and what your venue can physically supply, and the competitive landscape is narrower than it looks.
