Why balloons?
The Party Favor Kids Actually Want
Kids love watching a balloon turn into a dog in under a minute, and then they get to take it home. Parents tell us the best part is skipping the goody bags, because the balloon is the party favor. At bigger events, our balloon artists keep the line smiling while everyone waits their turn.

Balloon Twisting FAQ
How much does a balloon twister cost in Chicago?
Our balloon twisting starts at $300 for two hours with one artist. Combos with face painting start at $350, and festivals and large events get a custom quote.
​
How many kids can one balloon twister serve?
In two hours, about 25 guests with detailed designs, or up to 50 with quick one balloon designs. For bigger groups, add a second artist.
​
What ages are balloons good for?
We recommend balloons for ages 3 and up. Kids under 8 should be watched by an adult, since popped balloon pieces can be a choking hazard. Toss broken balloons right away.
​
What if a guest has a latex allergy?
Our balloons are latex, so they aren't a good fit around guests with a latex allergy. Let us know when you book, and we'll talk through options, like face painting for that part of the party.
​
Can you twist balloons outdoors?
Yes. Strong sun, heat, and wind make balloons pop faster, so we set up in the shade . You can add our 10x10 tent for $100.
​
How long do the balloons last?
Usually a few days indoors. They last longest away from sunlight, heat, and sharp things like pet claws.
​
Can you match our party theme or brand colors?
Yes. Tell us your theme or colors when you book, and we'll bring matching balloons.
