How to choose character performers for a kids' party
Costume & performer quality

What's included
Confirm the visit length and activities — greetings, photos, sing-alongs, story time, games, and a birthday moment.
Background checks
Reputable performers who work with children are happy to confirm background checks — always ask.
Add-ons
Face painting, balloon art, or a second character can be bundled to extend engagement for bigger or mixed-age groups.
Character performers: frequently asked questions
How much does a character performer cost?⌄
Most character visits run $150–$400 for a 30–60 minute appearance, with duos and premium packages higher. See our pricing guide for details.
How long does a character visit last?⌄
Usually 30 to 60 minutes. Forty-five minutes suits most parties, allowing greetings, photos, activities, and a birthday moment.
What age is a character visit best for?⌄
Character visits shine for ages 2–8, with activities tailored to the group — gentler meet-and-greets for toddlers, interactive missions for older kids.
Can I book two characters?⌄
Yes — a duo is popular for mixed-interest groups and roughly doubles the cost of a single visit.
