Outstanding, professional, punctual -- and FUN! All the kids at my daughter's birthday party had an absolute blast. The only "complaint" I have is that my daughter now wants a birthday party every weekend They truly created a memory for her that I'm sure will stay with her for a lifetime in the most positive way. It seems my daughter is now known at school for throwing awesome parties! I will definitely hire them again and highly recommend them for any kids' event. I was honestly anxious about entertaining a group of children in my cozy home, but they took a huge burden off my shoulders and made the entire experience stress-free. read more

Thank you Curious George (Roxy) for making my son's dream come true! Roxy arrived so punctually (early actually to prepare), and she was the life of the party! The kids loved playing limbo, basketball, Velcro darts, parachute, tunnel, and more with Curious George! My only regret was not hiring her for more time to keep the party going! We hired her for 1.5 hours and the kids were entertained and engaged the whole time, giving the parents time to socialize and eat lunch. My son had the absolute time of his life. The delight on his face when Curious George came to his party and gave him hugs and held his hand to lead a parade of his friends! The cake cutting with Curious George was so much fun, and afterwards Curious George read one of our Curious George books to the party guests. Definitely going to hire Roxy for every party as long as my kids like characters. It is genuinely magical for the kids to have their favorite character hang out with them. read more

We had an amazing experience with Kiddo World for my daughter's 3rd birthday party! Roxana came as Bluey, and she was absolutely fantastic! The kids were thrilled to meet Bluey in person, and Roxana kept them engaged with fun games, songs, and activities that were perfectly tailored for their age group. She even gave out little gifts to the kids, which was such a thoughtful and sweet touch! After the games, we got to take pictures with Bluey, and it was such a fun moment for the kids and parents to capture the memories. Roxana's energy and ability to make every child feel included were incredible. Thank you, Roxana, and Kiddo World, for making my daughter's birthday so special! Highly recommend for any kid's party! *on time *easy to communicate with/coordinate *professional *fun *engaging *passionate read more

Roxy is amazing, I highly recommend her! She is punctual, friendly, flexible and very decently priced! My son's birthday party was truly magical, thanks to Kiddo World and the incredible performance of Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The moment they arrived, the children's faces lit up with pure joy. Mickey and Minnie were not just characters; they were truly captivating performers. They engaged with the children on a personal level, making each child feel special. They posed for pictures, played games, and even danced with the little ones. The characters were incredibly patient and kind, making every interaction memorable. The attention to detail was impeccable. The costumes were spot on, and the characters' mannerisms perfectly captured the essence of the beloved Disney icons. Thanks to Kiddo World and the magical performance of Mickey and Minnie, my son's birthday party was a resounding success. It was a day filled with laughter, joy, and unforgettable moments that my son and his friends will cherish for years to come. read more

If I had to summarize - "Life of the party". We just recently celebrated my son's 3 year old birthday party and this is the first time we had a character entertainment and it was well worth it. I had a few of the other adults telling me what a great idea it was when they saw how engaged their kids were and were asking me for the business card and details. Highly recommend Kiddo World if you want some entertainment for the little ones, this makes parties so much more fun for kids. Everything went extremely smooth and we will definitely be using Kiddo World again! read more

Thank you Chase (Roxy) for making my kiddo's world a dream come true! I searched around for a Paw Patrol character rental around the Bay Area and honestly there are very few companies who have a quality costume. I reached out to kiddo world and got a very quick response. They answered all my questions and provided pictures of the costumes so I knew what to expect. Roxy communicated with me frequently leading up to and the day of the event. She was on time, and she did a wonderful job wrangling (15-18?) 3 year olds. They danced, they played games. My son was freaking over the moon that Chase came to his bday party (and even had birthday cake together!) He's been talking about it non stop after the party. Definitely a core memory made. read more

This company is great! I had a chance to work with them for a family birthday party. We got George aka Sonic the Hedgehog to come to our festival. George arrived on time and was professional. He had an entire show performance! The characters provide music, games, dances and more. This helped get the party started for the kids. Sonic was patient and took pictures with everyone, I know it was hot in that suit. Overall it was a fun experience for everyone, good service, job well done. I recommend! read more

For our son's 3rd birthday yesterday we worked with Kiddo World to bring Mickey Mouse. We've never used such a service before and didn't know what to expect. Let me tell you that IT MADE OUR DAY! The kids had a ton of fun and the parents enjoyed some well deserved time "off duty". Everyone was bummed when Mikey had to leave, one hour went by too fast! Even though we booked on a pretty short notice, Roxy & team have been extremely accommodating, responsive and professional. They also offer some of the best prices in the Bay Area. From start to finish the collaboration has been flawless, we (and our guests) will surely work with them again. Kiddo World truly is a gem! Thank you, Roxy and Gigi (Mickey), looking forward to next time! read more

We were one week from our little one's birthday party and realized there were going to be 20 toddlers without any entertainment - eeek! Fortunately, we found Kiddo World! They're reasonably priced (and I've reached out to 10+ other places) and had many options for characters to choose from. Roxy was super responsive via email, flexible with location/time and made everything very easy. We would definitely consider Kiddo World again. Bluey made our little girl's first birthday extra special. "He" was the life of the party and distracted all the kids, which allowed all the parents to relax and eat. However, there were some mean little boys at the party who kept on pulling his tail (we're so sorry again!) but he was able to low key get them to stop by changing activities. Thanks so much for coming! read more

Contacted Roxy for 3 paw patrol characters for my daughter's birthday. From the beginning, she was fast to respond and clear about the characters and performance. My kid and her friends had a blast as the characters kept them thoroughly entertained during the party. Highly recommend! read more

Worth every penny! My daughter was absolutely thrilled to see Minnie at her 3rd birthday party. The smiles, hugs, and kisses she gave Minnie made it all so special--and I'm already looking forward to booking Roxy again next year! Roxy was fantastic to work with: she provided a clear quote, I paid the deposit, and she showed up and handled everything seamlessly. Zero stress on my part--and isn't that the dream? read more

We had Baby Shark from Kiddo world at our party and I could not be happier!! They were kind enough to accommodate my last minute request. The kids had a blast! Great music, amazing games.

I am super happy I went with them for my son's birthday party! read more

We had a Mickey Mouse party yesterday. Mickey from Kiddo World was the best. The music was awesome, he engaged with the kids, played games with them. My son and his little friends really enjoyed the hour.One of the best character entertainers I have seen in recent times. Thank you once again. read more

I have been too many birthday parties with character entertainment, Kiddo World was waaay better. My guests all said the same thing, fantastic costumes, they bring their own music and physical games to play with the kids. Perfect for 6 years and under. I highly recommend them and they are far more affordable. read more

It was great experience. kids love it. would go back to them again. already recommended my friends for their service.

Roxy is great! I was very pleased with their services. We had Sonic for my son's birthday. The quality of the costume was great! She was very responsive, reliable, and kept the kids entertained with all the games and activities. My son and all the kids had a great time! Highly recommended! read more

Coordinated well with us and did great in a relatively small space with more kids than we anticipated. The kids were all going insane over "the real Maribel!"

*DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY...THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF!* I hired spiderman for my son's 4th birthday. When he arrived I was shocked to find he barely spoke English and had a strong accent. When he started the show he didn't speak but instead stood there while he played a prerecorded message on a boombox. Because he didn't talk, the only interaction he really had with the children has high fiving them during the lame games he had brought. All that spiderman did for the hour was set up games and stand there while the kids played and gave them high fives. Spiderman didn't even participate in the games but just stood to the side and watched. I was embarassed by the lack of professionalism and quality of show provided for the large amount of money paid. I had been to another Spiderman birthday party a few weeks prior and the difference in quality was staggering. The following day I contacted the owner, Dan Marius, to express my concerns and he was unsympathetic and refused to work with me on a resolution. I would highly advise against hiring this company for any type of event. read more

We enjoyed kiddo World so much! Great customer service, affordable prices & our character was a sweetheart. Thanks again everyone!

Went to Kiddo World Disco a couple of weeks ago. Laaame. Based on the ad on the website and the price at the door ($15!!!) you'd think it was something amazing. I was excited and brought a friend to join me. Man, was I wrong. The event was held in a small dark room at a church. Most of the attendees were girls (why was my little man not notified?). There was a room in the back with some toys. It would have been great if the room was two or three times the size and the air-conditioning working. The characters came out and said hello. I am not sure why the ad said that the party was for 6 month to 7 yr olds. The dance part was more of a gathering of 3-5 year olds. 6 month olds don't actively jam to music and the 7 yr olds would be bored out of their mind. I pre-paid $10.95/p using PayPal. The price at the door was $15. Almost wish I would have waited till I got there because I wouldn't have spent any money and just left. Eh, live and learn. read more

Glad to see Kiddo World on Yelp! I'm reproducing here a review I wrote for Kiddo World on their website some time ago: "I hired Kiddo World as a surprise for one of my close friends throwing a birthday party for his son. I was a little skeptical but figured I had nothing to lose. I was surprised and gratified at the wonderful response - both from the kids at the party and my friend (and his very picky wife). I have gained several brownie (and curry :) points for hiring a character from Kiddo World. The show was simple for kids to follow and highly entertaining. But the moment that still gives me goosebumps when I think about it was when the character walked into the restaurant to the astonishment of all the kids (and my friends- the only two adults in the dark about the show). The kids just froze for a moment and then squealed with delight. That's when I knew it was going to be a good day. The rest of the show went like a blur - songs, tunnels, basketball, all kinds of kid stuff I've been insulated from (I don't have kids) but found refreshingly entertaining. The best part was how some adults felt compelled to join their kids in the singing, dancing and the fun games. If I ever throw a party for kids, I'm definitely calling Kiddo World. But I would recommend using them in lieu of a gift-as-usual like I did - makes you stand out without stealing the thunder from your guests and the birthday boy/girl." read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. DONT EVER HIRE KIDDO WORLD. I don't typically write yelp reviews but this one is worth it. Scheduled a Minnie character to come to my daughters 3rd Birthday and everything was set and seemed to be going smoothly until I hear an email notification on my phone as I'm waiting for my character to show up. I check it (keep in mind my daughters party is currently going on and kids are now getting ready and antsy for something fun to happen) I check my email and I get a refund for my deposit. Both my husband and I look at each other in disbelief. They were scheduled to come at 1:30, I checked the email at 1:24 (given I'm hosting a party and don't f-ing check my emails every minute) and the email was sent at 11:22. Stating "so sorry have to cancel due to family emergency" or some bs like that. I called Marius in disbelief and left a message hoping it was a mistake. But he never answered. So we frantically started calling other companies.. but of course after 30-40 mins of me and my family members calling around everyone was out or booked on a Saturday afternoon.. and we realized we would need to improvise and move on. I still haven't heard from the company, a phone call, or an apology. I have sent Marius a very upset email (which held back a lot more curse words than I wanted to use). To be clear, I get it... emergencies happen; we're all human and life happens. However, what really pisses me off is that Marius and Kiddo World didn't have the balls enough to at least call right when the emergency occurred...1-2 minutes at the least, I don't need an explanation just a quick heads up so that I could have at least tried to find another entertainment. But NO! I got nothing, and instead got an email and apparently, they think that's sufficient enough because people who are hosting parties are checking their emails like they have all the F-ing time in the world.. instead of what we hoped was a memorable party for our daughter and her 50+ guests (yes we have a huge family) we got a lot of confused and disappointed guests, no favors (because it was provided), and no entertainment... Whoever is still reading my long rant, I will say that one company by the name of Happy Bright Kids (not sure what the gentleman's name was) was nice enough to try at least squeeze our party in, but unfortunately couldn't fit into his schedule. But he at least tried and was very apologetic for my experience. And I have received return calls from all the other companies I tried to call as well (which is a lot). So hire any other company other than this one because they at least have the decency to talk with you rather than send you a scared ass email (not even a direct email from them, I only found out because they have me my refund back through PayPal and the message stated they were cancelling) because they are too scared to deal with their actual customers (even if they might be upset) read more

We had Mickey Mouse character from Kiddo World over for our son's 3 year birthday party and everyone loved it. All the kids enjoyed dancing and playing games, and the parents were smiling watching them. Our son loved to dance and spend time with Mickey Mouse, and talked about it for a few days afterwards. Definitely would recommend. read more

I just want to thank you for a job well done by your performer. Lloyd (Ninja turtle) is great! The kids really had fun and even the parents too! They asked me where did I get the mascot, but they were surprised by the price haha. But no doubt they would consider having a mascot on their kids parties because it was really fun seeing kids with big smiles on their faces. Till next time, more power to your business!

I hired Astronaut Hero for my son's 3rd Birthday party we had at our house. Very friendly employee came, dressed in a bedroom and came out to surprise all the kiddos! She worked very well with all the kids and made my son feel really special. My son was leary at first, then grew to really love his surprise. The only improvement that needs to be considered is the radio. Character doesn't speak, the radio speaks for him/her. It was pretty muffled. All in all it was a great experience. read more

I hired Dora the Explorer for my daughhter's 3rd bithday party and she showed up 1 1/2 hours late throwing off my party completly. In addition, I can't believe that they allowed the woman dressing up as Dora show up SICK!!! Maybe that's why Dora was late, she probably figured she would ditch the party and benefit herself by staying home!!! Her costume did look like Dora and my daughter did love it! However, it was VERY awkward when Dora had to keep pausing to fix her head because it was TOO big for her! I also did not appreciate having to be pulled away from my guest to HAVE to help Dora get her games and stuff because again, her costume was too big! The party became even more awkward every time the CD kept skipping because obviously it was scratched! Yeah the children had fun, but I don't think they enjoyed that Dora kept bumping into them and hitting them because she couldn't see them! After everything, I did not have her there an hour and a half and felt that I still OVERPAID for their services regardless of the $100 discount! I had such high hopes for this companies ability to give an excellent performance because of the testimonials I read on their website prior to hiring them, but I guess it's because the deleted ALL/ANY bad testimonials from their website like the one I wrote right after the party. In doing so, they trick promising clients from knowing the truth. I should have known not to hire them when I didn't see the Better Business Bureau logo on their site. I will NEVER hire them again or recomend them to anyone!!! read more

I booked an Easter Bunny for a big event this past weekend. And Marius was super accommodating especially since i changed the time the last minute. The day of the event went perfect! the Easter bunny excited the crowed or energetic kids even gave out toys and supplied its own crawling tubes for the kids to play in. Thanks Kiddo World for accommodating our event this past weekend! Next time I need a character for any event i will be booking with you! read more

This place suck. It was my daughters first birthday. We chose to have a Tinker bell character for her. First of all she was late for more than a hour and when she showed up (after about 5 phone calls) she was half dress with her costume and the dress was falling apart the entire time.. it was so bad.. Please stay away from this place. I will not recommend this place to anyone..! read more

This is my second time using Kiddo World and I absolutely love them!! Both times the characters delivered and the children were super happy. Great customer service and reasonable prices. I highly recommend!! Thank you everyone! read more

We used mickey mouse and they have their own sound system set up and customized mickey mouse clubhouse music related to our theme and . Party favors were given for the kids fun games lil ones will love, I recommend these for younger kids. The person doing mickey even offered to wait for guests to arrive if we prefer. I also rented a clown who did face paintjng, balloon twisting and magic show after. Got a good deal with 25 off. Customer service Marius is top notch, very prompt response with all of our questions, and good customer relations. We had a great experience! Our party was a blast. Thanks kiddo world! read more
