We had our annual school celebration at Castaways Park Newport Beach this year, and adding the pony rides was really a cool idea. The park was a great fit because there was plenty of open space, and the Fun Factory team made everything easy from the moment they arrived. They brought three ponies along with staff who were kind, organized, and wonderful with the children. They chatted with the kids, answered questions from parents, and made sure every rider felt safe before their turn. The ponies were so calm and gentle that even some of our more hesitant students ended up smiling by the end of their ride. It created such a fun atmosphere, and it was great seeing families gather around to cheer the kids on. We'd absolutely invite them back for another event

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad the pony rides were a hit at your school celebration at Castaways Park. It's wonderful to hear that even some of the more hesitant children felt comfortable enough to enjoy their ride. Our team works hard to create a safe, welcoming experience for every child, and we're happy that came through. We truly appreciate the opportunity to be part of your event in Newport Beach and look forward to bringing the ponies back for another fun school celebration in the future!

We surprised our daughter with Cookie…
We surprised our daughter with Cookie Monster at her 3rd birthday party at Pasadena Pizza, and it ended up being everyone's favorite part of the day. We had a Sesame Street theme, so Cookie Monster was the one character she kept asking for, and seeing her reaction when he walked in was absolutely adorable. She danced with him, gave him hugs, and loved taking pictures together. The entertainer was upbeat, patient, and really good at keeping all the little kids engaged with music and simple games. The costume looked fantastic and was clean and high quality, which made the pictures turn out great. Everything was on time, well organized, and completely stress-free. We had such a great experience with Fun Factory Parties and wouldn't hesitate to book them again for another celebration.

Poppy Trolls character
We added a character for our school kids with Poppy Trolls at our graduation celebration at Everbright Montessori School in Chino, and it couldn't have gone better. We wanted to do something fun to celebrate the end of the school year, and Poppy was the perfect choice. She greeted the children with so much enthusiasm, danced with them, posed for lots of pictures, and made everyone smile. The costume looked colorful, clean, and very high quality, and the performer did a wonderful job keeping the kids engaged without ever feeling rushed. It was such a happy way to end the year, and both the children and parents were talking about it long after the event was over. We'd happily recommend Fun Factory Parties for any school or children's celebration.

Great face painters!
We hired two face painters for a family day event and they were a great addition to the celebration. They arrived on time, dressed in bright, kid-friendly outfits that immediately matched the fun atmosphere and helped the children feel comfortable and excited. From the beginning, they brought a warm and upbeat energy that set the tone for the entire event. The event ran for about two hours and they stayed consistently busy the whole time. With over 80 children attending, they handled the crowd really well and kept everything flowing smoothly. There was a steady line throughout, but they managed it in a way that never felt chaotic or rushed. Each child still got their moment and walked away happy with their design. The face painting itself was excellent. They offered a wide variety of designs including superheroes, princesses, animals, and fantasy-style characters, and they were able to handle all kinds of requests from the kids. Even though they worked quickly to keep up with demand, the quality stayed high and every design looked clean, colorful, and well done. What stood out most was how patient, calm, and friendly they were the entire time. Even when things got busy, they stayed positive and engaging with the kids, which helped keep the energy of the event fun and relaxed instead of stressful. The children were really into it and kept coming back excited to show their faces or try something new. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience that added a lot of life to the event. Everything ran well from start to finish, and it made the day feel special without adding any stress for the organizers.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review—we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear the face painters were such a great addition to your family day event and that everything felt smooth, organized, and fun from beginning to end. Events with 80+ children can easily become overwhelming without the right team in place, so it means a lot to hear that the flow stayed steady and never felt chaotic or rushed. Creating that balance where kids can enjoy the experience while lines keep moving efficiently is something we focus on heavily at events throughout Los Angeles, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, and the San Fernando Valley including Sherman Oaks, Encino, and Studio City. We’re also happy you mentioned the presentation and energy right from the start. Arriving on time, dressed in bright, kid-friendly outfits, and creating a welcoming atmosphere immediately is a big part of what we aim for, especially at school events, park gatherings, and community celebrations. Whether we’re working at a preschool in Pasadena, a park event in Griffith Park, or a family day in areas like Culver City or Santa Monica, we want kids to feel excited and comfortable as soon as they see us. The quality and variety of the face painting is another area we take seriously. From superheroes and princesses to animals and fantasy designs, we want every child to have options they’re genuinely excited about. At the same time, we train our artists to work efficiently so they can handle large groups without sacrificing quality. It’s great to hear that even while keeping up with demand, the designs still came out clean, colorful, and detailed—that’s exactly the standard we aim to maintain across all events, whether in West Hollywood, North Hollywood, or the greater San Fernando Valley. What really stands out from your feedback is the mention of patience, calmness, and friendliness throughout the event. That’s something we prioritize just as much as artistic skill. A positive and relaxed energy makes a huge difference, especially when things get busy, and helps keep the entire event enjoyable for both kids and parents. We understand how important it is for organizers to feel like everything is under control, so we always aim to be dependable, easy to work with, and able to adapt to the pace of the event. We’re so glad to hear the kids had such a great time and kept coming back excited to show off their designs. That kind of engagement is exactly what we hope to create. Thank you again for choosing us and allowing us to be part of your event—we truly appreciate it and are happy we could help make the day feel special without adding any extra stress.

We hired Fun Factory Parties for pony…
We hired Fun Factory Parties for pony rides at a little girl’s birthday party and it was a great experience overall. The setup was done in our backyard in a small fenced area and everything was organized and on time. The ponies were gentle, clean, and clearly chosen to fit the ages of the kids, which made parents feel comfortable right away. The handlers were very attentive, helping each child on and off and making sure safety was a priority the entire time. The team was friendly and professional, and the kids absolutely loved the experience. It was a fun and memorable addition to the party and the whole process felt easy and reliable.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for choosing Fun Factory Parties for your child’s birthday celebration. We’re really glad to hear that your experience with our pony rides in Encino was such a positive one from start to finish.
Backyard parties, especially in areas like Encino and across Los Angeles, can sometimes come with space limitations, so it’s great to know that the fenced setup worked well and everything felt organized and on time. Our team puts a lot of care into making sure each setup—whether in a backyard, park, or school—is safe, efficient, and well-suited to the space available.
We’re especially happy to hear your feedback about the ponies. Selecting the right ponies for the age and size of the children is something we take very seriously. Gentle temperament, cleanliness, and proper handling are all essential to creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience not only for the kids but for the parents as well. Knowing that everyone felt at ease right away is exactly what we aim for at every event we serve throughout Encino, Los Angeles, and the surrounding communities.
Safety is always our top priority, so it’s great to hear that our handlers made a strong impression. Assisting each child on and off the ponies carefully, maintaining a steady flow, and keeping a close eye on the overall setup are all part of ensuring a smooth and worry-free experience. Our team is trained to be attentive and patient, especially with younger children, so they can enjoy the activity while parents feel confident everything is being handled properly.
We also truly appreciate your kind words about our team’s professionalism and friendliness. We believe that great service goes beyond just the activity itself—it’s about communication, reliability, and creating a positive experience from booking through the end of the event. Whether we’re providing pony rides in Encino, petting zoos in Los Angeles, or full kids party entertainment packages across the region, we aim to deliver a consistent level of quality and care.
It’s wonderful to hear that the kids loved the experience and that the pony rides added a fun and memorable element to the party. That’s exactly what we strive for—creating moments that stand out and make celebrations feel special.

Just rented a Stitch mascot costume…
Just rented a Stitch mascot costume from here. It looked really good! I was impressed that it was actually as professional as it was. I did see the pic ahead of time but still, ya never know right? But it came on time and looked exactly like the website. Was a big hit at the party and the whole process was pretty easy. Good to know there's a place out there that actually has this service, I couldn't find any other mascot rental companies online so it's cool to have a resource. We will probably rent costumes again for our 4 year old's party in December.
