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. 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.

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.

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.


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.

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.

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!
