Delivery & Setup

Our team typically begins deliveries around 9:00 AM and completes pickups by 8:00 PM, seven days a week, including holidays.
If your venue has specific access times, just let us know and we’ll happily coordinate with you.
If delivery or pickup is needed outside our regular hours, it may be accommodated for an additional $30 per hour, with advance notice.
Our standard rental includes 5 hours of playtime, not including setup and takedown.
If you’d like additional time, we’re happy to extend your rental when availability allows. Extra hours may be added for a small additional fee.
We usually arrive about one hour before your event to begin setup so everything is ready for your guests.
Setup and takedown typically take up to 1-2 hours, depending on your package and any additional décor or customizations.
If there are factors that may affect setup, such as stairs or limited parking, please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
At this time, we do not offer customer pickups. Our team handles delivery, setup, and takedown to ensure everything is installed safely and properly.

Space & Venue

Each item has its own size and height requirements, so we recommend measuring your space in advance, especially ceiling height.
The setup area should be flat and clear of debris or obstacles.
We also kindly ask that furniture and personal items are moved before our arrival, as our team is unable to move belongings for liability reasons.
If the space is smaller than expected due to obstacles like posts or low lighting, we will do our best to adjust the layout.
While the setup may look slightly different, the safety of the children will always be our top priority.
If space is limited, we may also divide the play pieces into two nearby areas to keep the space comfortable and open.
At this time, we specialize in indoor events only. Calgary’s weather can be quite unpredictable, and focusing on indoor setups allows us to keep our equipment clean, safe, and in the best condition for every family.
Our soft play setups work wonderfully in homes, community halls, party venues, and event spaces.
Yes, we have a few simple guidelines to help keep everyone safe and our equipment in excellent condition.
To prevent staining or damage, we kindly ask that face paint and other mess-prone items such as glitter, slime, paint, markers, crayons, temporary tattoos, silly string, and confetti are not used in the play area. If cleaning or repairs are required due to prohibited items, additional costs may apply starting at $50.
For safety, please ensure that no sharp objects (such as pens, pencils, or jewelry) are brought into the play area. If a child uses essential items like eyeglasses or hearing aids, we kindly ask for close adult supervision.

General play guidelines include:

  • No shoes or high heels
  • No chairs on the mats
  • No food, sweets, or drinks in the play area
  • No face paint, glitter, slime, or similar materials
  • No sharp objects
  • No pets
  • No crayons or markers
Additional guidelines will be provided in your rental agreement.
All equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before every event, and light cleaning is done during pickup.
We simply ask that equipment is returned in good condition. If excessive cleaning is required (for example from glitter, food stains, or damage), additional cleaning fees may apply.
