How to compare Melbourne kids party packages
Melbourne parents booking a kids party entertainer often see a headline price that looks reasonable - and then discover face painting, balloons, extra children, weekend rates, travel and GST are all charged separately. By the time the invoice lands, a $250 party is closer to $450.
Dreamscape built our pricing around a simple no-hidden-fees promise: one all-inclusive price for the entertainer, activities, face painting or balloons, prizes and a birthday gift. The only add-on is a travel fee for parties outside our standard radius, which is calculated up front using our travel calculator and shown on your booking form.
When you're comparing Melbourne kids party entertainment providers, ask three questions: is face painting or balloon twisting included, is there a weekend or public-holiday surcharge, and is travel quoted before you pay a deposit? Dreamscape answers yes, no and yes - every time.
