Showed up this morning at the store and the tables (which were in good condition) were ready. The person waiting on me (I think the owner) helped bring them and put them in my car. Price for the daily rental (pick up today and return tomorrow) was very reasonable. My event was short, so I returned the items this afternoon. Smooth process. Highly recommend for equipment rentals. Had an opportunity to walk around the small store, which has a supply of party items, cards and lots of balloons. Will very likely shop here in the future for my rental and party needs.

The Open Gym is a GREAT deal if you buy a 10-pass as it works out to $7/kid per visit and the passes never expire. This is our go-to activity for rainy summer days or when school is out for a day and my older kids need to burn off some energy. In particular, they love the rope swing and the trampolines. Like other reviewers have noted, a huge drawback is the veritable toy store in the lobby. I've just always told my girls that they can look but we will not be buying anything there as we visit to play, not shop. So far we haven't had any issues but it is a big distraction.

Unlike past bounce houses I've rented where I had to refill the generator, Mr. David has a newer generator that had no issue running for the full party time 12-6pm.

I will be using them for all our future events!

He…read morewas able to absolutely entertain the entire group of fifteen or so 4-6 year olds for more than an hour (longer than he had anticipated) and I can't tell you how much laughter and shrieks of delight we heard. Most importantly to us, he was able to get our fairly shy daughter comfortable and up in front of the group of her friends to join in his act and, even better, she had a great time doing it. He also stayed after the show to make balloon animals for all of the kids in attendance which was a big hit. It was all around a great show and Alex was fantastic at working with the kids. He was also great at communicating with us regarding preferences etc... leading up to the show. I'd book him again in a heartbeat.

But for what's it's…read moreworth you can do no better for a local personal magic act then Barry Taylor of Barry's Magic Shop. This review is for Barry the Magician's performance for private parties, I will give a separate review for his actual magic shop at some other time. So fiance and I were at a very good friends party for our friends son who just turned 18. Yeah, you're a man now Chris happy B-day. My friend, she always have some sort of entertainment for her great party's one time it was a belly dancer! What to do? They are older adults there, young twenty somethings, teenagers and little kiddies, so why not something that everybody can get into..... magic. Get the right person and they will become the life of the party. Enter Barry Taylor he is the owner/operator of Barry's Magic shop in Rockville and he does parties. Corporate, B-days whatever for up to about a hundred people. As soon as he arrived he stood out wearing a bright lemon coloured sport coat and a very colourful shirt so you knew something was going to be different cause not only his clothes really stood out but also his personality stood out just as brightly. At parties people always separate themselves into small groups huddling, standing or seated talking amongst themselves. Barry was able to glide from group to group without skipping a beat between all groups. The little kiddies first, doing tricks that amazed them such as the vanishing handkerchief's and foam ball tricks. He then gravitated over to me and fiance with coins and cards. Making the coins jump from his hands to her and left her tying to figure out how he did his hands is trickier than the eye tricks. Very personable on a one to one level making everybody feel at ease. Later on into the party Barry had setup a little staging area inside and performed a fast pace and extremely entertaining magic show that involved everybody and made things appear like doves and disappear like cards, canes and all sorts of small objects. All the time while zipping out one liners and even singing to Huey Lewis type songs. Magic and jokes for small group is what he does best so if you have a private party or corporate function and looking for something that's entertaining and safe fun, (as opposed to naughty fun, like some comedians that i know would tell nothing but dirty jokes) so he is good for all ages I give him high recommendations and let him entertain, you will have a blast. He had us rolling with laughter. I been to Vegas I seen shows there and for your own private Vegas little show, this is as good as it gets.

We just had a fantastic b'day party today at Barry's Magic Shop in Rockville for my 5 y.o. son and…read morewe had a blast. If you're looking for something a little bit different, it really seemed to be a hit for kids and adults alike. Barry is really great with the kids, engages them, and even has the birthday child and a couple of other kids help with tricks. My understanding is that he's very able to work to the crowd, no matter what the age. They have various party packages- we got the one where all the kids get a magic wand and a magic hat for the b'day child- and Barry and Susie (husband and wife team who own the place) really help out with setting up the tables, chairs and keeping everything on schedule. The show is 50 min. and you have 40 min. for food and cake. All in all, it was right on the mark.

I hired Squeals On Wheels Petting Zoo for my daughter's 7th birthday party on 07/23/2022 and I…read morestill do not have the words to explain how marvelous it was and they are! In short, Noelle was excellent to communicate with and she worked with me to plan everything out and get all details squared away, and Mika was terrific to have at the party... Mika set up so quickly and quietly, could not have been better with both the many children and adults, and at the end she shut down everything as quietly and quickly as when she arrived. Oh, and the animals were beyond adorable. Here is some other information that warrants (at least) a 5-Star review. We had originally scheduled the party for 2 weeks earlier, but a sudden forecast of rain made me nervous and feel the need to reschedule. Noelle worked with me to reschedule the party for 2 weeks later. Then, 2 days before the party the forecast called for weather in the mid to high 90s, Noelle got in touch to mention that their policy (and rightly so) called for the animals to be indoors and with A/C during outside temps exceeding 85°F. We ended up having the petting zoo in my newly renovated dining room and, while I was a bit nervous at the start, it disrupted nothing and I think Mika left the space cleaner than when she arrived... I would have a petting zoo in my dining room weekly now if I could, it was great! In conclusion Squeals On Wheels Petting Zoo is a terrific company with adorable animals and marvelous staff.
