Planning a Kid’s Party in Bellevue This Summer? Here’s What You Need to Know

Posted on by admin

Soft Play, Bounce Houses, Bubble Houses, Balloon Decor & More — Plus Where to Celebrate

If you’re searching for a bounce house rental in Bellevue or planning a summer party for your child, you’re in the right place. It’s the time of year when families come together to celebrate birthdays, baby showers, and milestones under the sun — and no place does it quite like the Eastside.

From the wide lawns of Somerset to hidden gems in Lakemont and Newport Hills, Bellevue has always been known for hosting laid-back, beautifully executed backyard parties that make entertaining feel comfortable and stress-free. That’s exactly why Party Baby Seattle delivers so many of our modern bounce houses, soft play setups, balloon garlands, and bubble houses to Bellevue every year. This area is not just part of our service map — it’s one of our busiest and most popular locations.

Want to Keep Things Simple? Host It at Home

We love backyard parties in Bellevue. They offer the flexibility that indoor venues can’t, and with our modern, neutral-toned equipment, your setup always looks clean, stylish, and elevated — no rainbow inflatables or clashing colors.

Our team handles all setup and takedown, whether you’re planning a party on the front driveway in Eastgate or in a large yard in Bridle Trails. And because we’re a licensed and insured vendor, you get peace of mind from start to finish.

If you’re looking for something a little more upscale or weatherproof, Hyatt Regency Lake Washington in nearby Renton is a fantastic venue for indoor events,especiallywhen paired with balloon dĂ©cor or a bubble house setup. Explore the hotel venue here.

Planning a Party at a Bellevue Park? Here’s What to Know

Public parks in Bellevue are a beautiful option for outdoor celebrations — but they come with rules, lead times, and restrictions (especially for inflatables). We’ve worked across nearly every reservable park in the city, and here’s what you need to know if you’re thinking about a park party this season:

Kelsey Creek Farm animal barns with white fence and green fields under blue sky in Bellevue Washington park

Kelsey Creek Farm

This nature-meets-play favorite offers grassy picnic areas surrounded by trees and farm animals. It’s a perfect backdrop for toddler soft play zones and balloon garlands. Picnic shelters are reservable, and the setting is peaceful but fun.

Wilburton Hill Park picnic area with tables, green lawn, and forest backdrop in Bellevue, Washington

Wilburton Hill Park

One of Bellevue’s largest parks, Wilburton is ideal for bigger gatherings. The open space near the reservable shelter is great for bounce houses or a bubble house — just make sure you submit paperwork early for city approval.

Crossroads Park International Shelters 1-3 picnic area with covered tables and open green space in Bellevue, Washington

Crossroads Park

A family hotspot with a seasonal spray park, shaded shelters, and large play areas. It’s especially great for soft play setups, toddler parties, and balloon dĂ©cor. Bounce houses may be limited depending on the surface.

Robinswood Park picnic area with tables, grassy lawn, and tall trees in Bellevue, Washington

Robinswood Community Park

A flexible, centrally located park with picnic shelters and lots of green space. Families love it for birthdays with custom balloon installs, and we’ve done successful soft play zones here too.

Newcastle Beach Park picnic area with tables, open lawn, and lakeside views in Bellevue, Washington

Newcastle Beach Park

This large lakeside park is a summer favorite — but with a caveat. While beach access is great for guests, we don’t recommend setting up near the water or splash areas. Instead, stick to the upper lawn and request placement approval in advance.

⚠ Not All Parks Allow Rentals

To avoid confusion: several Bellevue parks do not allow event rentals, large group reservations, or vendor setups. These include:

  • Meydenbauer Bay Park
  • Enatai Beach Park (currently closed for construction)
  • Newport Hills Woodlawn Park
  • Bridle Trails Valley Creek Park
  • Surrey Downs Park

These are drop-in parks only — not suitable for bounce houses, soft play, or formal party setups.

What to Know About Permits & Insurance

The City of Bellevue has strict guidelines for inflatables — especially when placed indoors or under covered areas. Bounce houses and bubble houses are allowed at most outdoor parks with advance approval and require:

  • A Certificate of Insurance (COI) with at least $1M in general liability
  • Naming the City of Bellevue as additional insured
  • Submitting paperwork typically 3 weeks before your event

We take care of this for you.

Party Baby Seattle is fully licensed and insured, and we provide all required documentation for city permits — so you can focus on the fun.

Bellevue’s Favorite: The Bubble House

If you’re looking for a show-stopper that doubles as a photo moment and a play area, the bubble house is the one. Parents love the clean look, and kids love the giant, balloon-filled dome. We’ve set up our clear bubble houses in parks, driveways, and venues all over Bellevue — and they’re always a hit.

Whether paired with a bounce house or balloon backdrop, the bubble house creates that “wow” factor guests won’t stop talking about.

FAQ: Bellevue Party Rentals


Can I have a bounce house at a Bellevue park?

Yes, but only at certain parks that allow permitted events with vendor setups. You’ll need to reserve a shelter and submit paperwork — including a Certificate of Insurance (COI) naming the City of Bellevue. Parks like Kelsey Creek, Wilburton Hill, and Robinswood are great options. We handle all insurance and permitting for you.


Do you deliver bounce houses and soft play to homes in Bellevue?

Absolutely. We frequently deliver to neighborhoods like Somerset, Lakemont, Medina, and Newport Hills. Backyard parties are very popular during the summer, and our team will walk you through what works best for your space.


How early should I book for a summer party?

We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance, especially for weekend parties between May and September. Bellevue is one of our busiest service areas, and our premium inventory (like the bubble house) tends to book out quickly.


What permits do I need for a party in a Bellevue park?

You’ll need to reserve a park shelter through the City of Bellevue at least 10–30 days in advance, depending on your event type. If you’re using vendors like us for bounce houses or soft play, a Park Special Use Form and proof of insurance are required. We handle this on your behalf.


Can I rent the bubble house in Bellevue?

Yes! Our clear dome-style bubble house is one of our most popular rentals for Bellevue events. It works well in backyards, driveways, or approved park spaces —and it’s especially popular at first birthdays and summer celebrations.

Elevate Your Celebration: Introducing Balloon Decor by Party Baby Seattle

What types of balloon decorations do you offer?

We specialize in custom balloon garlands, balloon arches, balloon walls, balloon centerpieces, and backdrop installations for all types of celebrations. Whether you’re planning a birthday party, corporate event, wedding, baby shower, or grand opening, we bring your vision to life with professional balloon styling.


How do I place an order?

You can place an order by filling out our inquiry form on our website, or by emailing us at info@partybabyseattle.com. Please provide details about your event, including the date, location, and any specific design requests (inspiration images and color schemes are always helpful!).


How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking at least 2-3 months in advance to ensure availability, as our schedule fills up quickly. For last-minute requests, we will do our best to accommodate, but availability is not guaranteed.


Do you charge a rush fee for last-minute orders?

Yes, for orders placed within 7 days of the event, a 10% rush fee will apply. This helps us expedite material sourcing and production to meet your deadline.


Do you offer delivery and setup?

Yes! We provide delivery, setup, and breakdown services to ensure a stress-free experience. Our team will handle all the details so you can focus on enjoying your event.

Can I use balloons outdoors?

Yes! However, exposure to direct sunlight, heat, and wind can reduce their lifespan. We recommend shaded or indoor locations for longer-lasting results.


Can you replicate a balloon design I found online?

We love working with inspiration photos! While we don’t copy designs exactly, we can recreate or enhance them to fit your event.

Seattle Mariners Opening Week: Family Fun with Party Baby Seattle

Posted on by admin

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. 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.

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. They could 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. Most importantly, they create real, lasting memories.

We’re already counting down to 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. These are 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. This makes 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. They 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

Posted on by admin

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.

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.

Soft Play Benefits Explained – Watch Now!

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 & colors — to match your party dĂ©cor.

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.

– Bianca

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

Posted on by admin

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.

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.

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.

At Party Baby Seattle, our soft play rentals include:

Structures & Tunnels: Climbing structures and tunnels to encourage movement.

Foam Mats: Foam mats for a cushioned play space.

Ball Pits: Big or small, with slides for added fun.

See Us in Action! Turning Meydenbauer Center into the ultimate kid’s playground!

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.

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

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.

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.

Carnival-Style Games: Ring toss, bean bag throws, and other interactive games that add excitement.

Mini Sports Zones: Small-scale soccer, basketball, or relay races for kids who love to be active.

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.

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.

What Parents are Saying

“I would recommend Party Baby Seattle to anyone and everyone that has kids and would listen. We used them for my son’s first birthday and I was a mess with the planning sadly. They went above and beyond to make sure it was a great experience from changing the set up and colors when I finally picked a theme after purchasing another set to changing times when I accidentally set the party time to a half hour earlier (ugh, I am so so sorry). And more
They adapted to each of my blunders and were so wonderful about it all realizing I was just a stressed out mom of a baby turning one.

Everyone loved the play set up and our parent friends were so impressed. They didn’t even know about Party Baby but after they were in love. I hope more of them give this wonderful business some love because I have absolutely no regrets and it was the most wonderful experience. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you for making my son’s first birthday a huge success!”

    A Holiday Celebration to Remember with the Seattle Seahawks

    Posted on by admin

    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!
