Choosing a kids party entertainer in Saigon
If you would rather book a painter: from 500,000₫ an hour.
Choosing a kids party entertainer in Saigon starts with two questions: how old are the children, and how much room do you have? Face painting needs a table and a queue, circus, magic and bubble shows are run by partner teams, so ask them how much room each needs.
Start from the ages and the room
Before you compare acts, write down how many children are coming and roughly how old they are, then look at the room. Ask each team what floor space it needs.
A few questions help:
- Will the children sit and watch, or would they rather be doing something?
- Is the age range wide? If so, one activity may leave some children waiting, and two activities running side by side can help.
You do not have to choose only one act. You can pair a show with a table, so children who are not watching have somewhere to go.
Face painting: a table and a queue
Face painting is what we do ourselves. Prices are 500,000₫ for 1 hour and 900,000₫ for 2 hours, and longer is agreed separately. You can see them on our face painting prices page.
You prepare 1 table and 2 chairs, plus a shaded spot if the party is outdoors. If it rains, we move indoors. Children form a queue, one in the chair at a time, so put the table where a line will not block the doorway or the show. By our estimate, each artist paints about 10 to 15 faces an hour, depending on the design, so a party of around 10 children fits one hour and around 20 children fits two. A larger party can have up to 5 artists. Children can choose a design before you book, and we can also paint small designs on the hand. Tell us about sensitive skin when you enquire, because we cannot promise every colour suits every child.
Our birthday party face painting page has more on how a party session runs.
Magic and circus: agreed with the troupe
Our partner team offers circus and magic acts at 800,000₫ per hour. What the troupe performs is agreed when you book, so tell us the ages and the room and we will check with them.
Ask the team how much floor space it needs. You could put the show at the centre of the party, for example before the cake, and run face painting before or after it so the two do not compete. The details are on the circus and magic show page.
Bubble show: ask about space
The bubble show is also run by a partner team. The bubble show has no fixed price, so message us and we will check with the team. Ask the team how much space the bubble show needs, indoors or out. Ask the team how much space it needs, and what to do if the weather turns when the party is outdoors. The bubble show page has what we know so far, and the details are agreed when you book.
Questions to ask any entertainer
Whoever you book, these questions save surprises on the day:
- How long is the act, and can it be shorter or longer?
- How much space does it need, and does it need a table, power or shade?
- What happens if it rains?
- What does the price cover, and what costs extra?
We communicate in English or Vietnamese, so you can ask us in either. Message us with your date, the number of children and the venue, and we will tell you what we can arrange.
Quick answers about party entertainment
Can I have face painting and a magic act at the same party? Ask us about your date and we will tell you what is possible. Face painting is ours, and the circus and magic team is a partner team.
How long should face painting run? By our estimate, one artist paints about 10 to 15 faces an hour, one hour fits around 10 children and two hours fit around 20.
