Best party entertainers in Phoenix: find options near you

Huge thank you to Foam Daddy. From the very first phone call helping me choose the right cannon, to the customer service and smooth invoice process, everything was handled exceptionally. The shipping was fast and the pickup process was just as seamless. Working with Paul and his receptionist made everything easy as we selected the HD Pro Stacker Foam Cannon bundle. They were incredibly helpful every step of the way. My order arrived in less than 24 hours, and during that time I received multiple informative videos that walked me through how to get started and what equipment to use.

Whether it’s questions on equipment, foam solutions, color powder or Starting your own foam party business- You cannot go wrong with Foam Daddy! This company is proactive versus reactive. I love that.

I ordered 2 pails of foam concentrate. I haven’t started to use them yet. They came fairly fast and on time. Them pails are pretty heavy tho. I would say about 90 pounds. I couldn’t lift them good thing you don’t have to lug them around. I’m Excited to start using them. I could show pics but they are still in their brown boxes.

The MEGA foam machine is incredible! We bought one for our July 4th party. With 350+ guests, kids and adults alike LOVED it. The foam gel mixed well as instructed and the mixture had a mountain of foam 40 feet across and 7 feet high! Thanks FoamDaddy!

The customer service from FD is second to none. Every order I’ve placed has been delivered within a matter of 2 to 3 days. Staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. I’m excited to continue doing business with this company.

This a fantastic experience 👏 You’ll love the interaction between your team of sleuths searching for the True Murderer. The cast is a gas!! Funny, interactive, playful. One of the best dates we’ve ever shared. .

This event was SO much fun! We had the Murder Mystery company come out for my 31st birthday and it was a blast. Nate and Jenna were absolutely incredible. They were so witty and funny – everyone LOVED having them host our Old Hollywood Murder Mystery. It was so organized, they had themed music. This is an absolute MUST!

We had the Murder Mystery Co for our volunteer banquet and the team was phenomenal! It was an amazing way to celebrate our people while having a blast! Will definitely book again for a future team event 😁

This was a fun event at a Birthday party. It got many people involved in the fun as suspects and detectives. It was very interactive.

This was one of the most fun and unique experiences I’ve had in a long time! If you’re looking for a way to escape the Arizona heat and do something truly interactive with friends, family, or coworkers, this is absolutely worth it. The Murder Mystery Company offers both public and private shows, and each creates a totally different experience. The public shows (hosted at the Old Spaghetti Factory) are great for a fun night out because you’re seated with other guests, work together as a team, and end up meeting a lot of new people throughout the night. It’s energetic, social, and perfect if you enjoy a lively group atmosphere. That said, if you want something more personalized and immersive, I highly recommend booking a private event. I booked one for a milestone birthday, and it exceeded every expectation. They offer a huge variety of themes, and having a dedicated experience tailored to your group makes it feel even more special and memorable. My friends still talk about how fun it was. The actors were phenomenal, fully committed to their characters from start to finish, and they did an amazing job guiding everyone through the experience. It can feel a little overwhelming at first because there are clues, roles, and interactions happening all at once, but the team explains everything clearly and keeps the experience fun rather than stressful. What really makes this stand out is how immersive it becomes when you lean into it. The more you participate, interact, and commit to your role as either a detective or suspect, the more fun you’ll have. By the end of the night, everyone in our group was completely invested. Whether you’re planning a birthday, team outing, date night, or just looking for something different to do, I can’t recommend The Murder Mystery Company enough. The public shows are a blast, and the private events are genuinely unforgettable.

Great spot for kids 36inch to 54 inch! Beat the summer heat and go at sunset. Great train ride for all. Plenty of shade and good food. Summer specials all summer check the website and food stand for specials.

Cute but nothing open to eat when I went. Great free place to feed birds or just chill. Place for kiddos to ride rides. Train to ride for pay.

Lots of shade. Great vibe. Live it We love the drum circle on Sunday @ 11. Join in.

This place is so much fun! Having a kid that’s between the ages of 3 to 12 years old, I highly recommend this place to bring the family. It’s a lot of fun for the kids and adults alike. The place is very clean and there’s cool seating everywhere. There’s a splash area that is for kids only where they get to play in the sprinklers. I suggest for parents to have their kids have an extra pair of dry clothes and shoes and to maybe have your kids where clothes that is okay for them to get wet. And if it is your first time there like it was mine, I recommend that you get an all-day pass which is good for being there all day and going on all the rides when you have the wristband as many times as you want. And the Park is open late until 8:00 p.m. I highly recommend that you bring the kids and just have a blast all day.

We attended a birthday party here and had a great time! My son was still too young, but we walked around the park with him and took note of the rides he could try for next time. The entire park was very clean, and the staff was very nice! The host of the party rented out the cove area and we had a BBQ. It was a great option for birthday parties!

This was the best Birthday Party 🥳 🎂 All my friends thought it was a great idea, and everyone enjoyed themselves! The staff was all very friendly! 10/10 I really loved how they would call out the party’s name, so everyone could hear! KOOL! 🥳👂 The award part at the end was one of my favorite 🤩 parts of the night. Very Cool!!! 🏎️🏁 Thank you so much K1 Speed Phoenix staff, & Lupe for helping me decide which package is best for my Birthday 🎂 🥳💚

We’ve been to a lot of tracks, but K1 Speed Octane stands out for one simple reason: it treats kids like real racers, not passengers. My son is 11, and this wasn’t just a fun outing for him. This was competition. From the moment we walked in, the energy felt like a legitimate racing environment, not an arcade with go-karts. The staff didn’t talk down to him. They gave clear instructions, expected accountability, and let him earn his laps. The track itself is well-designed. Tight enough to challenge decision-making, but open enough to allow clean overtakes if you’ve got the skill. For a young driver, that balance matters. It teaches racecraft, not just speed. The karts were consistent, which is something most places get wrong. When a kid is trying to improve lap times, inconsistency kills confidence. That wasn’t the case here. He could actually learn. What stood out most to me as a father was the bonding. This wasn’t me watching from the sidelines. I was out there with him, competing, pushing, laughing, and yes, getting beat a few times. That matters more than anything. If you’ve got a kid who loves racing, this place does something rare. It respects that passion instead of watering it down. Bottom line: Not just entertainment. It’s an experience that builds confidence, focus, and a little healthy edge. We’ll be back, and next time, I’m taking the win back.

What a fantastic experience at the K1 go-cart track! We loved the track—there’s real speed, tons of excitement, and the racing feels like it really delivers. The staff was mostly friendly and helpful throughout, and we were especially glad to see the attention to safety every step of the way. The whole setup made it easy to jump in and enjoy right away. Honestly, this was perfect “lazy Saturday” fun: thrilling, memorable, and well managed. Highly recommend!

Dropped by on a Sunday looking for something fun to do. I love that the races you purchase don’t expire. So if you can’t complete them all at that time, you can come back. The wait time was a bit long but there is food and arcade games to keep you busy while you wait.

The only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because the food wasn’t all that good, some of the sliders were burnt, and the wings were tiny. I paid almost $700 for this party and we got 1 drink for the entire time we were there. The wait times were also ridiculous. There was 1 person behind the counter and she was great, but there was only one of her, which is not her fault. She stayed patient and helpful, but we stood around for literally like 20 minutes waiting to be helped. Even when I checked out and closed our tab I had to wait forever. All in all though the place is spotless, spacious, the bathrooms are clean. We all had fun, the guys that gave instructions and ran the track were great, gave good, clear instructions, and were very helpful. I’d go back…but definitely won’t be having any more events there.

Such a cool hidden gem in phoenix! I highly recommend for little ones during the summer! Air conditioned building and puppet shows weekly. Took my 2 year old and 4 month old and had such a good time. 15$ per adult and 10$ ages 2+ so very affordable as an indoor activity that the whole family will enjoy

Great price for a show. We went for the Winnie the Pooh show and it was great. You could tell the puppeteer loved what he was doing. The historic building was beautiful inside and out. The parking being included in your ticket is a definite plus! Doing anything in downtown phx is a pain with parking so having it included was delightful and one of the many reasons we will be back again.

I recently took my niece and nephew to see Jack & the Beanstalk and it was wonderful! The single performer (!) was so talented and friendly! After the performance, he invited people to take photos with the puppets and to learn how they work. They also have really great shows for grownups, too. Phoenix is really lucky to have a place like Great Arizona Puppet Theater!

I was very surprised by this! We watched the Little Red Hen! Small location, but everything was made with care. The lady that was doing the puppet show is simply amazing. How can someone make all those voices so fast? wow!! My boys want to be back for the Christmas show.

Puppet Slam!! You got to love it when puppets go all adults on you. Great bunch of people to put this together and a fun night.

This was my first experience with adult puppet theater, and I won’t return.I am fairly sure that the children’s puppet theater is much better than last night’s adult puppet slam! There were eight different acts. I enjoyed two of them, the ones by the professional visiting puppeteer from back east. The rest were either lame, bad, just okay, or much too long. However, the pink kitten and cathead puppets that were the MCs, were incredible. Beautiful old building with some interesting puppet displays. Glad we went once, but won’t return.

Love this place! Nice to see all the puppets on display to look at up close. Friendly staff. Very clean. Daughter loved the free coloring book at end of show. Very entertaining. Will definitely be going back again soon.

My husband and friends came for the first timetime. The show was hilarious. I got to go take a shot of run with the staff . I love how they get the audience involved.

Epic swashbuckling adventure complete with rum and even Captain Morgan! So fun and high energy!! HUZZAH

Amazing show! We have been four times! 2 times to Drunk Shakespeare and 1 to Romeo and Juliet and now Pirates. Each time is new and just as funny and exciting! Drinks and snacks are delicious!

We had a great time! So awesome to see everyone react to a crazy show! Great job in your first performance Suzy!

Thanks for the best show we’ve seen in phoenix! The cast went above and beyond to make sure the night wouldn’t be forgotten! Bless you all and thank you so much

Show was hilarious. I dont drink was i was a little hesitant going to see a show with a bunch of drunks… Man.. glad I went and id go again….very entertaining…. and not all centered around drinking. Give this show a 10 out of 10

The entire experience was awesome! The actors created so many creative characters to keep us wanting more. The energy of the cast and the audience made such a fun night! I would give it 5 stars but the drinks are a little pricey. 🙂

10 stars if I could! We use this company regularly for our business events, seasonal celebrations, and birthday parties, and they are hands-down the best character company we’ve worked with. We’ve tried several other companies around the Valley, but none compare to the talent, professionalism, and reliability of this team. Every performer arrives on time, fully committed to their character, and creates truly magical experiences for the kids. The owner is an absolute dream to work with—organized, kind, incredibly talented, and deeply passionate about what she does. You can tell she puts so much care into selecting and training performers who can genuinely immerse themselves in their roles and make every child feel special. We also hired them for our son’s 5th birthday party with Spider-Man, and it was amazing. Spider-Man had the kids completely engaged the entire time with games, activities, and nonstop energy. By the end of the party, all the kids were happily exhausted! If you’re looking for character entertainment that is dependable, high-quality, and truly memorable, look no further. We recommend them to everyone!

Anna and Elsa were so amazing and made my daughter’s 2nd birthday party so magical! Happily Ever After was responsive and easy to work with. 10/10 recommend!

Spider-Man came to my grandson’s birthday party. Noah was so excited and loved the entire experience. Your Spider-Man is so well prepared. He created a wonderful experience for my grandson. Thank you for being awesome!

Amazing! The princesses were SO cute kept the kids entertained and engaged and it was such a fun surprise for our birthday girl!!! The girls looked GREAT! Their outfits were very nice quality and it was just perfect!

Anna and Elsa were so good with my shy two year old. They made sure she was comfortable and included! The sweetest princesses!

Our event was in early December 2025. We initially met them at an Arizona Center play date where they provided me with the Fairy Godmother’s phone number. They provided the best experience all around! From my phone call to the Fairy Godmother to book the event to their storytime the day of the event. Elsa and Anna were so attentive to my three year old birthday girl. They also made sure all the kiddos got their faces painted and even posed for pictures; even with the adults:) All of our guests were amazed and stated these gals were the best suited Elsa and Anna they had ever encountered. Thank you so very much!!! We look forward to having more princess/royal friends visit us for her next birthday!

Hailey was the perfect Cinderella from the moment she walked in! She was amazing with the kids and truly made my daughter’s fifth birthday magical and unforgettable. All the little girls loved her, and she made my daughter feel so special. Everyone left the party wanting Cinderella to be at their birthday. It honestly felt like Cinderella was really there!

Amazing K-Pop Demon Hunters Birthday Party Experience! We hired the K-Pop Demon Hunters party characters for our grandchildren’s birthday party, and it was an absolute hit! From the moment they arrived, the characters were energetic, friendly, and completely engaged with the kids. Their costumes were vibrant and detailed, and the performers truly brought the characters to life. The children were thrilled by the interactive games, dancing, and fun activities inspired by the K-Pop Demon Hunters theme. The entertainers were patient, professional, and wonderful with kids of all ages, making sure everyone felt included and excited. Our grandchildren couldn’t stop smiling—and neither could the adults watching the fun! The party was well organized, high-energy, and unforgettable. It created magical memories that our family will cherish for a long time. We highly recommend the K-Pop Demon Hunters party characters to anyone looking to make a child’s birthday celebration extra special and unique. Thank you for making our grandchildren’s birthday so memorable!

Alyssa was awesome as our Moana! My daughter turned four and started talking about having a Moana birthday since her last birthday and it was so special! I was so impressed with her talent she made my daughter feel so special and she will be talking about it for a long time!

Hailey was The Perfect Elsa! Our daughter and the kids were fully engaged and enjoyed every minute of it. We will be booking again. Thank you for such a memorable experience!!

Had a great time at Carnival of Illusion. Highly recommend! It was really great seeing David Minkin! He is an artist at magic. Thank you for a wonderful show! I can’t wait to see David and anyone else from the Magic Castle.

I really enjoyed the illusionist David Minkin. I still don’t know how he performed any of his act. It was fun and it kept you on the edge of your seat. The staff was very friendly

We took my 92 year old Dad to this show for Father’s Day and he absolutely loved it! We were all laughing, even my kids. It’s very family-friendly and such a fun thing to do. This was our second time doing this, although the magicians were different. We loved it both times and will probably do it again. Go and enjoy!

The magician is a great storyteller and weaves in tricks as he spoke, while involving the crowd throughout the show. I could not tell you how he did it, only that I saw him do it with my own two eyes. What a great way to bring more joy, laughter and play to lighten up a day!

We were blown away by the illusions and absolutely loved the illusionist’s style of presentation and sense of humor. The location and set-up were also top-notch. The staff were welcoming and attentive. We will definitely go back for another show!

Showstopper Interactive Entertainment was absolutely wonderful! They were professional, on top of the entire process and truly lovely to work with. They are definitely staying on the top of my entertainment needs list!!! Wonderful people, excellent company!!

I have been an event planner for 30 years and can confidently say Showstoppers goes above and beyond to ensure every event is a spectacular success. Their performers are nothing short of phenomenal—uniquely talented, engaging, and full of energy. Whether it’s a themed event, a corporate gathering, or a private party, they bring an unmatched level of creativity and professionalism. Every act feels fresh, exciting, and perfectly tailored to the audience, leaving guests completely mesmerized. Beyond the incredible performances, the owners truly set this company apart. Their attention to detail, dedication to customer satisfaction, and genuine passion for what they do make working with them an absolute pleasure. They take the time to understand your vision and execute it flawlessly, exceeding expectations at every turn.

I recently hired Showstoppers Interactive Entertainment to manage an event here in St. Petersburg, Florida, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, their team was professional, organized, and truly dedicated to making everything run smoothly. They took the time to understand the vision for the event and delivered well beyond expectations. The entertainment was lively, engaging, and really brought people together. Guests are still talking about how much fun they had! The staff communicated clearly, handled every detail seamlessly, and made the entire process stress-free for me. I highly recommend Showstoppers Interactive Entertainment to anyone looking to host a memorable and well-coordinated event. They truly know how to turn a gathering into something special!

Showerstoppers managed and organized my 60th birthday party. I couldn’t be more thankful. It was an amazing experience. From music equipment set up, bartender entertainment to a pool bubble performance. All employees were exceptional, played their part and were very professional. Communication was outstanding, they took care of all the arrangements and made it look easy. I highly recommend them!

Showstoppers Interactive Entertainment is a complete joke. I’ve hired them multiple times for both corporate and non-profit events, and every single time has been a disaster. They are unreliable, unprofessional, and the quality of their work is subpar. They never show up on time, their equipment breaks down, and they have zero respect for a client’s budget or schedule. Save your money and find a different vendor.

I cannot stress enough how terrible my experiences have been with Showstoppers. Whether it was for a high-stakes corporate gala or a community non-profit fundraiser, they consistently dropped the ball. The staff is disorganized, the entertainment is lackluster, and the communication is non-existent. They treat events like an afterthought. If you want your event to fail, hire them.

I am writing this review to provide a factual account of our experience with Showstoppers Interactive at our corporate event. Unfortunately, their performance fell far below professional standards and negatively impacted our event. Here are the specific issues we encountered: 1. Disorganization and Lack of Planning: From the start, there was a clear lack of coordination. The setup was chaotic and behind schedule, which created initial stress. The event coordinator seemed unprepared for the basic logistics of our venue, leading to confusion and delays that should have been resolved in their pre-event planning. This disorganization set a negative tone for the entire engagement. 2. Unprofessional Staff Conduct: The staff members assigned to our event lacked the professionalism required for a corporate function. They were not proactive, appeared disengaged, and required constant direction from our team to perform their duties. This is not the level of service one expects from a company in this industry, and it forced our own personnel to manage their staff instead of focusing on our guests. 3. Disrespectful Attitude from the Event Coordinator: The most significant issue was the attitude of the event coordinator. When we calmly and professionally addressed the aforementioned issues and their impact on our event, the coordinator became defensive and dismissive. Instead of listening to our concerns or offering a solution, she displayed an unprofessional attitude that was frankly disrespectful to our team. A vendor’s coordinator should be a partner in ensuring an event’s success, not an obstacle. Conclusion: We hired Showstoppers Interactive to enhance our event, but their disorganization, unprofessional staff, and disrespectful coordinator did the opposite. They created unnecessary problems and added stress to our team. We cannot recommend their services to any organization seeking a reliable and professional partner. We would advise potential clients to vet their coordination team and staff very carefully before committing.
