Book a Poppin’ Balloon Artist in Coney Island

We recommend booking your Coney Island balloon artist at least two to three weeks before the party to secure the date and time you want. Summer weekends are the busiest period in Brooklyn, so for events between May and September, three to four weeks of advance notice is ideal. Our balloon artists create everything from detailed animal sculptures to wearable crowns and swords that keep children entertained from start to finish. They bring all materials and set up wherever your Coney Island party is happening, whether that is a backyard gathering or an indoor celebration. Book in minutes through our website, or drop us a WhatsApp message with any questions.

Our Coney Island balloon artists can create around 12–15 creations per hour, depending on how complex the designs are. Simple swords, hearts and flowers go quicker; elaborate characters, animal hats and princess crowns take a bit longer. Our minimum booking is 1 hour at $250 — whether you’ve got 3 kids or 12, that’s our standard call-out rate. For parties with more than 12 kids, we recommend booking 1.5 hours, or adding 30 minutes for every additional 6 children. Not sure? Send us a quick message with your guest count and we’ll tell you exactly what you need.

Yes. We only use 100% natural latex balloons. If anyone at the party has a latex allergy, let us know at the time of booking and we’ll bring a latex-free setup instead.

Just a little bit of space, ideally indoors or on a patio — that’s it. Our artists bring pumps, balloons, design menus and everything else needed. The one thing to avoid is setting up on grass or in direct sun: grass pops latex balloons almost instantly and hot sun makes them expand and burst. A shaded spot, driveway, hallway or front room works great.

It’s extremely rare — it’s happened only a handful of times in the five years we’ve been running parties in Coney Island. If illness or an emergency does come up, we’ll immediately pull in a replacement from our Coney Island team. If we genuinely can’t cover the booking with reasonable notice, you’ll get a full refund. Either way, you’ll hear from us straight away — we never go quiet on you.

Yes, for most simpler themes. If your party is superhero, princess, jungle, unicorn, mermaid, dinosaur or similar, let us know when booking and our balloon artist will lean into the theme with matching colours and designs — a red-and-blue Spider-Man sword, a pink unicorn, a green dinosaur. For very specific character sculptures (like a full Spider-Man character), that’s beyond what most balloon artists can deliver in a party setting, but we can usually do something themed that captures the vibe. Tell us your theme at booking and we’ll let you know what works.

Absolutely, and it’s one of our most popular setups. Our Active Party package ($400) pairs balloon art with face painting or party games, run by the same entertainer across a 90-minute slot. The Complete Party ($600) rolls all three into a single session. Having one person run everything keeps the party flowing and works out noticeably cheaper than booking each service separately.

It happens — a kid squeezes too hard, someone steps on a sword, a balloon brushes against a rough wall. Our artists always bring extras, and as long as we’re still at the party, we’ll replace a popped balloon free of charge. That’s why we recommend setting up indoors on a smooth surface (not grass) — it keeps pops to a minimum and means every kid leaves with their creation.

Balloon art is popular for kids aged 2 and up, and honestly works for any age party — we’ve had teenagers and adults queue up at weddings and brand events too. For toddlers under 2, we recommend larger bubble balloons or simple balloon animals rather than small pieces, just for safety. Our Coney Island artists are good at reading the room and adjusting designs to match the age group.
