Seattle Mariners Opening Week: Family Fun with Party Baby Seattle

There’s nothing quite like Opening Week at T-Mobile Park. The energy. The fans. The sense of anticipation. And for the second year in a row, the Seattle Mariners tapped Party Baby Seattle to help make the experience even more memorable—for the whole family—at their Opening Week Warm-Up event.

Last year, we brought our original bubble house to Opening Week, and it was an instant hit. Families waited over an hour just to step inside, and kids couldn’t get enough of the balloon-filled fun. It quickly became one of the most talked-about attractions of the day, proving that when you create space for kids at large-scale events, the payoff is real—for both families and the brand.

See us in Action! Our Bubble House Package

So this year, we came back even bigger. We brought one of our newest—and most eye-catching—additions to our corporate event lineup: the Double Bubble. Already a fan favorite at other events, this was its first appearance at T-Mobile Park. Set up in a prime location in center field, it immediately stole the spotlight.

Even with a larger footprint and a more streamlined setup, families were still lining up for over an hour to let their little ones play, explore, and take photos in a sea of floating balloons. The response was overwhelming in the best way. The Double Bubble didn’t just meet expectations—it became one of the largest attractions of the Opening Week Warm-Up event.

From setup to teardown, our team managed every detail. We delivered a fully branded, clean, and professional experience that felt seamless for the Mariners and magical for their guests. For parents, it was a chance to relax and enjoy the event knowing their kids were having just as much fun. For the Mariners, it was a way to show fans—especially young families—that everyone is welcome.

These are the kinds of partnerships we thrive on. Whether it’s a major league opener, a company picnic, or a high-traffic community event, we design and execute family-friendly events that elevate the entire experience. They’re fun, safe, and on-brand. And most importantly, they create real, lasting memories.

We’re already counting down to next year.

If you’re planning a corporate event in Seattle and want to create something that families will actually look forward to, we’d love to help.

FAQ

What are some fun ways to entertain kids at a corporate event?

Great kid-friendly entertainment options include soft play zones, bounce houses, face painting, bubble houses, interactive games, and activity tables—all popular choices at Seattle-area corporate events.

How do you make a corporate event family-friendly?

Designating kid zones, hiring experienced children’s entertainment, and offering age-appropriate snacks or activities helps create a more inclusive, family-friendly experience for employees and guests.

Are bounce houses appropriate for corporate events?

Yes, bounce houses are a great fit for corporate picnics, open houses, and company family days. Just make sure the bounce house is age-appropriate for the children attending. Companies like Party Baby offer a range of bounce house sizes and styles to suit toddlers, older kids, and mixed-age groups—making it easy to match the right setup to your event.

Bounce houses designed for younger children are typically smaller and take up less space, which means you can even rent multiple units for different age groups if space allows. For older kids or high-energy setups, consider something more adventurous like our Cloud 9 Adventure Course—a fast-paced inflatable experience that keeps bigger kids entertained and active.

What age range is soft play best for?

Soft play rentals are ideal for toddlers and children under 5. They offer a safe, enclosed space for active play at both indoor and outdoor corporate events.

Can we rent kid-friendly entertainment for indoor corporate events in Seattle?

Absolutely. Many options like soft play areas, ball pits, and activity stations are perfect for indoor use and can be set up in lobbies, office spaces, or event venues around Seattle.

How do you keep kids of different ages entertained at a corporate event?

The best approach is to offer a mix of entertainment options tailored to different age groups. For example, soft play zones are ideal for toddlers, while bounce houses, games, and activity tables keep older kids engaged. Choose multiple products or stations to create an inclusive experience for everyone.

How do you make a corporate event feel memorable and Instagram-worthy?

Creating an aesthetically pleasing event space is key. Use well-designed setups, cohesive themes, and fun entertainment that photographs beautifully. Before hiring any vendor, check their Instagram or past event photos to see how visually strong their work is—this ensures the event is something employees are proud to post and share.

How much does it cost to rent kids’ entertainment for a corporate event in Seattle?

Pricing typically starts around $500 for small events, depending on the type of entertainment, event length, and number of children. Larger events often require more elaborate setups, multiple packages, and staffing requirements, which we can scale to meet your needs and budget.

What should I look for when hiring kids’ entertainment for a company event?

Look for vendors with experience in corporate event setups, who understand how to entertain kids while working within a professional environment. Bonus points for companies that offer flexible packages, have strong client reviews, and can share photos or videos from past corporate events.

What are the non-negotiables any kids’ entertainment vendor should have?

At a minimum, a vendor should be licensed, insured, and able to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI). Safety should be a top priority, especially for events with children. Clear communication and transparent setup and teardown procedures are also essential.

The Best Soft Play Rentals in Seattle: What Parents Need to Know

Planning a birthday party for young kids can feel overwhelming. Between choosing the right theme, finding a venue, and keeping little ones entertained, there’s a lot to consider. That’s where soft play rentals come in—a fun, safe, and hassle-free way to keep toddlers and young kids engaged while parents relax and enjoy the celebration. If you’re looking for the best soft play rentals in Seattle, this guide will help you understand why they’re a must-have and how to book the perfect setup for your event.

What Is Soft Play and Why Is It Perfect for Toddlers?

Soft play is a specially designed play area featuring foam mats, climbing structures, tunnels, slides, and ball pits, all made from soft, cushioned materials. Unlike traditional playgrounds or bounce houses, soft play is ideal for younger children, typically ranging from 6 months to 4 years old.

Soft Play Benefits Explained – Watch Now!

One of the biggest reasons parents in Seattle choose soft play rentals is safety. The soft, padded flooring and equipment reduce the risk of falls and injuries, making it an excellent choice for first birthdays, playdates, and toddler parties. It’s also a great alternative to larger bounce houses for very young children who might feel overwhelmed by bigger inflatables.

Seattle’s Best Soft Play Rental Options

When it comes to choosing a soft play rental in Seattle, not all setups are the same. The best providers offer:

  • Clean and sanitized equipment (all items should be thoroughly cleaned between events).
  • A variety of play elements (ball pits, tunnels, and climbing structures keep kids engaged).
  • Flexible setup options for indoor and outdoor parties.
  • Custom themes and colors to match your party décor.

At Party Baby Seattle, we’re proud to be Seattle’s #1 trusted soft play rental provider. We’ve been the go-to choice for over 500 events, including corporate gatherings for the Seattle Seahawks, the Mariners, and Fortune 500 companies. Families and event planners alike rely on us for our professional service, high-quality equipment, and seamless setup.


Want a stress-free way to plan the perfect birthday? Our Ultimate Kids’ Birthday Party Planning Guide takes the guesswork out of party prep—packed with expert tips, fun themes, and checklists to make your child’s celebration unforgettable!


Our soft play packages are designed to fit any event size, whether you’re hosting a small backyard gathering or a large indoor celebration. We offer multiple package options, including add-ons like ball pits, bounce houses and mini-slides so you can customize your setup to fit your child’s age and party theme.

What Parents Are Saying


Why Soft Play Rentals Are a Hit with Seattle Families

Parents across Seattle, Bellevue, and throughout the Pacific Northwest are choosing soft play rentals for a reason. Unlike traditional party entertainment, soft play offers an stress-free, all-in-one solution for keeping toddlers happy.

Soft play setups encourage:

  • Active play without the chaos – Toddlers get to climb, crawl, and explore at their own pace in a safe environment.
  • Independent and social play – Kids interact with each other, helping develop important motor and social skills.
  • A dedicated toddler-friendly space – At larger family events, weddings, or corporate gatherings, soft play creates a special area just for little ones.

Parents also love that soft play setups are completely hassle-free. With professional delivery, setup, and takedown included, there’s no need to worry about transporting or assembling anything yourself.

Corporate Event Planning in Seattle: 5 Easy Ways to Entertain Kids

Corporate events are evolving. More companies are realizing the value of family-friendly gatherings, where employees don’t have to choose between attending a work event, spending time with their children or finding childcare to attend a company event. Whether it’s a company picnic, holiday party, or brand activation, providing entertainment for kids makes events more enjoyable for everyone. Corporate event planning Seattle requires special attention to family-friendly activities.

At Party Baby Seattle, we’ve helped top brands—including the Seattle Seahawks, Mariners, and Fortune 500 companies—create seamless, family-friendly corporate events. If you’re looking for ways to keep kids entertained while ensuring a polished, professional experience, here’s what works best. With our expertise in corporate event planning in Seattle, you’re guaranteed a memorable event.


5 Easy Ways to Keep Kids Engaged at Corporate Events

1. Soft Play & Ball Pits: Safe & Fun for Younger Kids

Soft play areas provide a safe, contained environment where toddlers and young kids can crawl, climb, and explore while parents enjoy the event. Unlike larger bounce houses, which are better suited for older kids, soft play is perfect for children ages 6 months to 4 years, offering a calm yet engaging space to play.

At Party Baby Seattle, our soft play rentals include:

 ✔ Climbing structures and tunnels to encourage movement.
 ✔ Foam mats for a cushioned play space.
 ✔ Ball pits of all sizes—big or small, with slides for added fun.

Soft play areas are a great addition to company picnics, holiday parties, and employee appreciation events, ensuring that even the youngest guests are engaged and entertained.

2. Bounce Houses & Bubble Houses: Trending & High-Energy Fun

For kids who love high-energy play, bounce houses are always a hit. They provide an interactive experience that keeps kids moving, making them perfect for outdoor corporate events and large gatherings.

Bubble houses, however, are one of the biggest trends right now—a fun and visually stunning inflatable dome filled with floating balloons. They’re not only fun for kids but also create incredible photo ops that guests will love.

Both bounce houses and bubble houses work well for corporate event planning in Seattle.

✔ Corporate brand activations—perfect for creating shareable moments.
✔ Outdoor company picnics & festivals—engaging entertainment for all ages.
✔ Employee family appreciation events—high-energy fun that keeps kids entertained for hours.

3. Themed Activity Stations: Hands-On Fun for Creative Minds

Not every child wants to bounce or climb—some prefer hands-on activities that engage their creativity. Themed activity stations offer structured, interactive fun that allows kids to create, build, and take home something memorable from the event. Corporate event planning in Seattle often includes these stations for their versatility.

Popular options include:

✔ Craft & DIY Stations – Kids can design their own party favors or work on simple take-home crafts.
✔ Mini Science Experiments – Fun, interactive activities like slime-making or mini volcano eruptions.
✔ LEGO Building Zones – A creative and engaging play area for kids of all ages.

Activity stations are low-maintenance but high-impact, giving kids a focused activity that keeps them engaged while allowing parents to enjoy the event.

4. Balloon Twisting & Face Painting: Classic, Interactive Entertainment

Sometimes, the best entertainment is simple and highly interactive. Balloon twisting and face painting are always a favorite at family-friendly corporate events, giving kids a personalized experience they’ll remember.

✔ Balloon twisting turns simple balloons into fun, custom creations.
✔ Face painting transforms kids into superheroes, animals, or whatever their imagination desires.

⚠️ Note: While face painting is always a fun addition, nearly all companies that offer soft play and bounce houses do not book events that include this activity, as paint and balloon residue can damage equipment. We recommend keeping these activities separate from soft play and inflatables to maintain the highest safety and cleanliness standards.

5. Interactive Play Stations & Bumper Cars: Big Fun for All Ages

For events that need larger-scale entertainment, interactive play stations are a great way to bring kids together and encourage social play. Unlike traditional entertainment, these setups are engaging for kids and adults alike.

Popular interactive play options include:

✔Oversized Games – Giant Jenga, Connect Four, and Tic-Tac-Toe for friendly competition.
✔Mini Sports Zones – Small-scale soccer, basketball, or relay races for kids who love to be active.
✔Carnival-Style Games – Ring toss, bean bag throws, and other interactive games that add excitement.
✔Bumper Cars – A show-stopping attraction that kids absolutely love. Perfect for large corporate events, our bumper cars provide a memorable experience that keeps kids engaged in a safe, supervised environment.

Interactive play stations work especially well at company picnics, large-scale corporate gatherings, and community-focused events, ensuring that kids of all ages have something fun to participate in.

Seattle’s Leading Large-Scale Event Vendor

At Party Baby Seattle, we’ve been the exclusive vendor for large-scale corporate events, partnering with top brands, professional sports teams, and Fortune 500 companies to create customized entertainment experiences.

A Holiday Celebration to Remember with the Seattle Seahawks

We had the incredible honor of being the exclusive partner for the Seattle Seahawks Kids’ Holiday Party, providing all the play-based entertainment for over 300 kids and families. The event was a big success, filled with energy, excitement, and plenty of unforgettable moments.

Our setup featured fan-favorite attractions like the White Palace Bounce House, Double Bubble House, Toddler Bumper Cars, and Custom Soft Play Packages, giving kids a safe and fun space to enjoy throughout the event. Seahawks dancers and even Blitz, the Seahawks mascot, were in attendance, making the experience even more special for the young fans.

Bringing the Event to Life

Bringing an event like this to life took countless hours of planning and an all-hands-on-deck effort from our team. We started at 6 AM at our office, loading and preparing everything for the day ahead before heading to the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue for setup. With a crew of over 20 Party Baby team members, every detail was carefully arranged to ensure everything was perfect before the first families arrived.

After a full day of non-stop excitement, the final crew didn’t return to the office until 9 PM—making this one of our largest and most rewarding events of the year.

Planning a Great Event—Big or Small

The Seahawks Kids’ Holiday Party is a great example of how thoughtful event planning and structured play areas help create an engaging, well-balanced experience. The event layout, interactive attractions, and flow ensured that kids stayed entertained while parents could relax and enjoy the celebration.

These same principles apply to gatherings of any size—whether it’s a corporate holiday party, company picnic, school event, or private celebration. The key is creating an atmosphere where kids can play, families can connect, and the event runs seamlessly.

For companies planning a family-friendly corporate event or an annual company picnic, adding structured play areas and interactive entertainment is a great way to keep younger guests engaged while making the event more enjoyable for all attendees.

Looking Back at a Great Event

This year’s Seahawks Kids’ Holiday Party was a huge success, bringing together families for a day of fun, laughter, and celebration. Seeing kids enjoy the event—whether bouncing, racing around in bumper cars, or meeting Blitz—was a reminder of how impactful a well-planned event can be.

A huge thank you to the Seattle Seahawks for having us—we loved being part of this special event, and we can’t wait until next year!

FAQ

What are some fun ways to entertain kids at a corporate event?

Great kid-friendly entertainment options include soft play zones, bounce houses, face painting, bubble houses, interactive games, and activity tables—all popular choices at Seattle-area corporate events.

How do you make a corporate event family-friendly?

Designating kid zones, hiring experienced children’s entertainment, and offering age-appropriate snacks or activities helps create a more inclusive, family-friendly experience for employees and guests.

Are bounce houses appropriate for corporate events?

Yes, bounce houses are a great fit for corporate picnics, open houses, and company family days. Just make sure the bounce house is age-appropriate for the children attending. Companies like Party Baby offer a range of bounce house sizes and styles to suit toddlers, older kids, and mixed-age groups—making it easy to match the right setup to your event.

Bounce houses designed for younger children are typically smaller and take up less space, which means you can even rent multiple units for different age groups if space allows. For older kids or high-energy setups, consider something more adventurous like our Cloud 9 Adventure Course—a fast-paced inflatable experience that keeps bigger kids entertained and active.

What age range is soft play best for?

Soft play rentals are ideal for toddlers and children under 5. They offer a safe, enclosed space for active play at both indoor and outdoor corporate events.

Can we rent kid-friendly entertainment for indoor corporate events in Seattle?

Absolutely. Many options like soft play areas, ball pits, and activity stations are perfect for indoor use and can be set up in lobbies, office spaces, or event venues around Seattle.

How do you keep kids of different ages entertained at a corporate event?

The best approach is to offer a mix of entertainment options tailored to different age groups. For example, soft play zones are ideal for toddlers, while bounce houses, games, and activity tables keep older kids engaged. Choose multiple products or stations to create an inclusive experience for everyone.

How do you make a corporate event feel memorable and Instagram-worthy?

Creating an aesthetically pleasing event space is key. Use well-designed setups, cohesive themes, and fun entertainment that photographs beautifully. Before hiring any vendor, check their Instagram or past event photos to see how visually strong their work is—this ensures the event is something employees are proud to post and share.

How much does it cost to rent kids’ entertainment for a corporate event in Seattle?

Pricing typically starts around $500 for small events, depending on the type of entertainment, event length, and number of children. Larger events often require more elaborate setups, multiple packages, and staffing requirements, which we can scale to meet your needs and budget.

What should I look for when hiring kids’ entertainment for a company event?

Look for vendors with experience in corporate event setups, who understand how to entertain kids while working within a professional environment. Bonus points for companies that offer flexible packages, have strong client reviews, and can share photos or videos from past corporate events.

What are the non-negotiables any kids’ entertainment vendor should have?

At a minimum, a vendor should be licensed, insured, and able to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI). Safety should be a top priority, especially for events with children. Clear communication and transparent setup and teardown procedures are also essential.

    How to Plan a Family-Friendly Corporate Event That Employees Will Love

    Corporate events are no longer just about business networking and formal dinners. As companies focus more on employee well-being and work-life balance, events that include families—especially those with young children—have become an essential part of workplace culture. A well-planned family-friendly event isn’t just a perk; it’s a way to boost morale, strengthen team connections, and create lasting memories for employees and their loved ones.

    Whether you’re organizing a company picnic, holiday celebration, or an employee appreciation day, creating an engaging experience that keeps kids entertained while allowing parents to relax and enjoy is the key to success. Here’s how to plan a corporate event that caters to all ages while making your company stand out as a truly family-first employer.

    Why Family-Friendly Corporate Events Matter

    Bringing employees and their families together outside of work fosters a stronger company culture. It shows that the organization values its team beyond their professional roles, recognizing the importance of their home life and personal commitments. Events that include families lead to higher job satisfaction, stronger workplace connections, and an overall more engaged workforce.

    But for a family-friendly event to be a success, it needs to be well-organized and engaging for all ages—especially the youngest guests. Without thoughtful planning, parents may spend the entire event chasing after their little ones instead of actually enjoying the celebration.

    Choosing the Right Venue for a Corporate Event with Kids

    Selecting a kid-friendly venue is the foundation of a great event. When choosing a space, consider:

    • Open Layouts: Look for venues with plenty of space for kids to run and play while keeping things organized for adults.
    • Indoor & Outdoor Flexibility: Weather can be unpredictable, so having both indoor and outdoor options ensures a smooth event.
    • Safe Play Areas: If young children will be attending, having a designated toddler-friendly space is a must.

    Popular venue options include:

    • Corporate campuses or office courtyards (with play rentals brought in for kids)
    • Local parks or outdoor pavilions
    • Event centers with private rooms for kid-friendly zones
    • Family-friendly attractions like children’s museums or play cafés
    • Hotels with event spaces that offer kid-friendly accommodations

    Want a stress-free way to plan the perfect birthday? Our Ultimate Kids’ Birthday Party Planning Guide takes the guesswork out of party prep—packed with expert tips, fun themes, and checklists to make your child’s celebration unforgettable!


    Engaging Activities That Keep Kids Entertained

    The success of a family-friendly corporate event often depends on how well the youngest guests are entertained. Happy kids mean less stress for parents, allowing employees to fully enjoy the event without worrying about keeping their children occupied.

    Some great kid-friendly entertainment options include:

    • Soft Play Zones: Safe, enclosed play areas with foam mats, tunnels, slides, and ball pits for toddlers.
    • Interactive Games: Simple, engaging games like parachute play, giant building blocks, or musical freeze dance.
    • Inflatable Attractions: Bounce houses or obstacle courses for high-energy fun.
    • Face Painting & Balloon Twisting: Classic, low-cost entertainment that kids love.
    • Bubble Stations: A big hit for younger children, with bubble machines creating endless fun.

    For companies looking to provide a high-quality experience without the hassle of organizing play areas, Party Baby Seattle offers turnkey soft play rentals, ball pits, and toddler-friendly play zones—ensuring that even the smallest guests have a space designed just for them.

    Planning for All Ages: A Balanced Event Experience

    While kids need their own entertainment, a great corporate event ensures adults have just as much fun. Here’s how to balance the experience for all ages:

    • Relaxation Zones: Set up shaded seating areas, lounge spaces, or picnic tables where employees and their families can enjoy food and conversation.
    • Catered or Food Truck Options: Keep it simple with easy-to-eat, family-friendly menu choices that cater to both adults and children.
    • Live Music or Performances: Consider local bands, DJs, or even kid-friendly entertainment like magicians or puppet shows.
    • Employee Recognition Moments: Take time to highlight team achievements with speeches or an awards presentation.

    By creating a well-balanced event, employees won’t feel like they’re simply at a “kids’ party,” but rather a thoughtfully planned company gathering that includes everyone.


    What They’re Saying


    Why Investing in Family-Friendly Corporate Events Pays Off

    Companies that invest in family-friendly corporate events aren’t just creating a fun experience—they’re strengthening employee satisfaction, loyalty, and workplace culture. Employees who feel valued beyond their day-to-day work are more engaged and more likely to stay with an organization long-term.

    By hosting events that welcome employees’ families, companies send a clear message: We value you not just as an employee, but as a person.

    Make Your Next Corporate Event Unforgettable

    If you’re planning a corporate event and want to create a truly inclusive, engaging experience for employees and their families, the key is thoughtful planning, interactive entertainment, and a space where kids can have just as much fun as the adults.

    We specialize in corporate-friendly soft play rentals, ball pits, and toddler play zones—helping companies create unforgettable events that employees love. Whether it’s a company picnic, holiday celebration, or employee appreciation day, bringing in safe, engaging entertainment for young children ensures a stress-free, memorable experience for everyone.
