Great show for the kids at a bday party! They were very patient when EVERYONE (adults included) wanted to go inside the bubble and were patient with my 2 year old when he was popping all the bubbles (he was the bday boy but still....) Fun, good natured and overall it was a good show and very fun. read more

Bad experience. Constant follow-ups (emails/calls) were needed to avoid a no-show. Thank god, it started only 40 minutes late. Different from what the website says, the staff did not interact with the kids or demonstrate how to play with the bubbles at all, just stood by watching. It seemed like the manager/office staff/onsite staff all had no interest in the business or customer satisfaction. It is reasonably disappointing. read more

Robin came with bubble gear for my sons 4th birthday. It was an outdoor event. There were about 15-20 kids, and the 3 kiddie pools and wands were plenty for sharing. She was very nice and helped all the kiddos on how to make huuuuuuge bubbles. Even the adults got into it. Thanks for entertaining everyone at the party! read more

That was a second time I hired this company so I can compare to the event in 2017, when they came to us. I had many people in my house for a party, so I wanted someone to entertain kids. I needed someone active and playful. The lady that arrived had some health problems so I had to ask my guests to carry her buckets. She did not know where and how to park. She decided not do the show part and just poured the liquid in the big basins in the backyard for kids to play. There was a slight wind so we had problems with blowing bubbles. Some kids were too little to do babbles themselves but they would watch the show. I could have done it myself. All you need just to purchase a liquid and put it in basins for the kids to play. read more

Overall good experience at my event. Alya did a good job entertaining. We did indoor outdoor package for 20 kids. Indoor was great. It started raining as soon as we stepped out. But kids still got A ton of fun out of it. read more

I booked bubblemania for my daughter's 8th birthday party this last weekend. The bubble show was a huge hit with all the kids and parents. Chelsea, our bubblologist was absolutely amazing! She had great energy and managed to keep 20 kids entertained for a 45 minute indoor show and a half hour free play outside. We chose the party program and that was perfect for our home. Minimal mess. So much fun. On the office end, Shabana was awesome helping me set up the party and responding promptly to all my questions! I highly recommend them for your next party! read more

Not sure if this company is still in business or something happened to the person I spoke with about making a booking. I talked with Aiden on Wednesday about an upcoming party, and he let me know there was availability on the date I requested, gave me their rate. I let him know I would call back the next day to confirm or pass either way. I've called and left several messages since Thursday. It's now Tuesday and still no word. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect, but knew I must have a bubble show for my daughter's 2nd birthday party. We did the indoor only show since the venue we held the party at didn't have an outdoor space. Communication them Bubblemania was fast and easy, we mainly communicated through email and all questions were promptly answered. Near the day of the event, the bubble lady called me over the phone to coordinate the arrival logistics. Prior to the event, the venue owner wondered how the bubble solutions would be disposed since there would be a small kiddy pool of it, but gladly to know that Bubblemania dispose the solution back in their containers. So from set up to clean up, the bubble lady took care of everything which is awesome for a mom who had to run around attending to guests, set up the party, and tend to the birthday cake! The group of kids we had were all around 2-3 years old with the exception I had my 7 year old niece there. Being the oldest one there, I can see the bubble lady tried to tend to her a little bit more, asking bubble questions that she could answer just so she's not only focusing on the younger ones. One thing that I wish could change is their hard rule of no popping bubble. I did have a group of toddlers, asking toddlers not to pop bubbles is like asking me not to eat that tasty slice of cake. I was hoping for more of an interactive show, but to my surprise, the toddlers did show a lot of self control and stayed in their seats to enjoy the performance. I was more entertained at watching the kids and their reactions than the show itself. It seems like they all enjoyed it. The highlight of course is being in the big bubble (I wish I could have been in one myself!). Overall, the kids had a good time and Bubblemania was professional and accommodating in all aspects. read more

I was looking for a bubble show for a preschool and found this company on yelp with great review. I called Aiden. He gave me a quote and I agreed on that and booked a time with them. Three days before the show another person sent me the invoice with a different quote. I was surprised but since they explained that they added "mileage fee" to that, I understood and agreed to pay extra. On the show day, all the parents arrived on time, only not the show person. 25 minutes later a lady showed up claiming that she went to the wrong address--which was understandable because she said she lived far. But the most disappointing part was that she behaved like it was the first time that she ever performed a bubble show. It took her at least 20 minutes to get the liquid into a big basin. After that she kept saying:"I am trying to show you a trick but it doesn't work, anyway let's try another". During the 40 minutes show, she kept trying but only did four types of bubbles successfully: making big bubbles out of a big wand, marking big bubble last out of a hula hoop, making bubbles out of a triangle-shaped wand, making bubbles out of a square-shapers wand. Since she couldn't make her tricks work, she had to call for kids to line up to make bubbles one by one. Well it's great to be engaging, but the whole bubble show looked like a toddler bubble lesson, which anyone could do with a big wand and a hula hoop. In addition, she was not very kids-friendly when there were kids around for too excited... We also booked a 20-minutes outdoor activity for the kids. Well, the only thing she provided for the kids was a big bucket of soup water and a few small bubble wands. And since she arrived late, she was in a rush to leave to somewhere else. While the kids were waiting next to the bucket, she was already collecting her stuff and got ready to go. Our preschool have invited quite a few show companies to do performance every year. And the parents all had great feedbacks and asked for business cards of them. This year all the feedback I heard was "it was ok". I have seen real bubble shows but let me tell you, this is not a real one. read more

Miko was AWESOME! Initially I was a little worried about the mess the "bubble show" was going to cause but actually it was not messy at all! They put a tarp down so everything was well managed and controlled! She kept the kids engaged the whole time and the parents could go in the back and enjoy talking to one another without worrying about the kids for a little while! Then the kids went outside and got a chance to make their own bubbles. The only thing is that some of the kids were too young for making their own bubbles but the ones that were old enough were so into it.. when it was time to say good bye we could not tear them away... so we had to distract them with cake and pinata! I would recommend bubblemania to others. Even I was interested I have never seen a square bubble before it was trippy! read more

Worst party experience ever. We signed up for a bubble show and we got "bubble play." By bubble play it was a stoned teenager who showed up with two kid pools with bubbles and bubbles and some wands. I could have gone to the dollar store and done this for $50. He did not engage with the kids at all and was a horrible experience. Do not waste your money on this terrible service--- I will make sure to share our awful experience across the burlingame moms club. Beyond disappointed!!! *** update*** Very appreciative of the fact that Joseph, the owner contacted me about our negative experience, and was very empathetic and offered us 60% refund on our party. I have been to many other events of friends who have used bubblemania and it was a great experience. Disappointed that our party did not provide same experience (we all have bad days) but very appreciative of the responsive and thoughtful customer service received post event. read more

Bubbles were awesome! My kid saw this at a friend's party and I gave him his own show!! The bubble-ologist.. (Esperanza)? showed up and did a great job. She put all the kids in the bubble which was a great hit and Chuck (my son) got to go in with my wife! It was a great time had by all!! I was worried about the mess but it was not messy at all, ironicially my kid poured punch all over his shirt and that was the messiest part of the whole party! read more

UPDATED! the owner/manager apologized and made up for the poor experience we had the first time with one of their employees, who no longer works with them. We took them up for their offer to give us another show at my son's 3rd birthday. We chose the indoor one this time which was AMAZING! Mike put on a fantastic show where both adults and kids were entranced by his bubbles! Should have seen the stares on those kids faces! Thanks for a great show, for caring about your customers' experiences while also making the necessary yet tough decisions internally to maintain quality and service. That alone deserves a bump from 1 up to 5 stars! ---------------------- We hired Bubblemania for my son's 2nd birthday in the park a couple of months ago and although the kids had fun making bubbles with the wands and 3 kiddie pools, the young man that showed up was terrible, unpresentable, disengaged and literally just stood there the entire time not saying anything. The parents each including myself showed the kids how to use the wands instead of enjoying other aspects if the party. At one point since the birthday boy arrived to the party late due to a late nap, I introduced myself to the young man and let him know who the birthday boy was since he was trying to find a wand to play with. The young man looked at his watch and said we have 20 minutes left and did not assist my son so I ended up doing so. I missed most of the beginning of the party but my husband was highly disappointed with what we paid for this event that we could have put together ourselves. It seems based on reviews the bay area is hit or miss. Really hoping others have a better experience and/or they find better employees. We will likely not be using them again. read more

*************************UPDATE************ The owner/manager reached out to me for feedback. I'm sure this is standard. When I told him about how unhappy I was with the service, he apologized and tried to make it right. I appreciate the fact he values his customers and my feedback so I added back two additional stars. HORRIBLE!!! Save your money! I had to stalk the company yesterday because I never received the 48 hr confirmation for today's party. Received it yesterday evening. Casey was late to my daughter's party arriving ten minutes or more late. Then he still had to unload and set-up. There were no tricks or bubble show. Simply had three kiddie pools with bubble solution and wands for free play. Casey told me this is what is involved with the all outdoor and free play because of wind issues they don't do shows outdoors. 12:18pm set-up complete and kids start playing by 12:45pm they were done playing with the bubble wands and over it since they had to entertain themselves. Even my guests were disappointed! read more

Justin rocks! He came to do a show for a group of 30 and had every child engaged and allowed all of them to participate! I've been working with this company for several years and highly recommend them! read more

The bubblemania company people seems to be quite busy it takes some effort to arrange an event from them. couple of emails and phone calls are needed to arrange it as its hard to get hold of them. As far as the show is concerned,kids loved it and it was fun and exciting but the bubble lady we had is not that kid friendly. she showed serious frustration and got pissed off when kids were yelling and when they asked to repeat what she did.... i felt she isnt friendly to kids and dont have experience on how to handle them ...as such some parents got disappointed with her behavior read more

I have used bubblemania for our preschool day camp for the past 4 years. This year was one of the best shows we had. Our bubbleoligist was funny, entertaining and educating. The children all were engaged with the show and afterwards with the play. I will continue to use them as they are very reliable company! Laureen read more

BubbleMania came to the Bay Area Rescue Mission's Center for Women and Children. The children were captivated by the bubble magic and couldn't wait to be apart of the performance. Here are a few testimonials from the parent of the children: "Enjoyed the bubbles and would love for them to come back" "Both my son and I enjoyed the activity. We which there were more time to enjoy it thoroughly" "My grandson had a ball" Thank you for making this a memorable day for those staying at our shelter. Bay Area Rescue Mission read more

These folks work magic, honestly. I went to a child's birthday party thinking that a bubble party would be boring for the adults, but it was actually really fun! The bubbleologist did some bubble tricks, which I didn't even know was a thing! The kids were entranced, and everything ran smoothly - she was good at talking to the kids and keeping them engaged. It was just a great time. I highly recommend it for your next gala or shindig read more

I recently got a Bubblemania party for a friend's kid and everyone had a great time, adults included. The young man who came was very professional and good with the kids. There was lots of laughter and plenty of photo ops with kids in bubbles. I overheard some of the kids ask their moms if they could also have a "Bubble Party," so it looks like there may be more in my near future, which is fine. Maybe I'll have one at my birthday party too?! read more

So glad to we decided have Bubblemania at my kid's birthday party. Totally a hit with all of the kids and even the older ones we involved. Parents who attended became kids again when the wanted to try it out themselves. Totally recommend this company for your future parties. read more

We hired Bubblemania to come to our university event. Our students flocked to the bubble station and were never "too cool" to play. It was definitely the hit of the event, and I look forward to bringing them back on campus. read more

We hired Bubblemania for our son's 2nd birthday. The day before his party, our son came down with a stomach bug and we had to cancel. Everyone at Bubblemania was so compassionate, from the owner to the bubbleologist who was assigned to our party, to the person we were corresponding with via email to book. We are very appreciative of the customer service and will definitely look to do business with this group in the future! read more

This show was a HUGE HIT at my son's 5th Birthday Party! Johnny did an amazing job keeping the kids amused and engaged. He also did a great job at making sure every child at the party participated and was apart of the show. This is a great way to entertain your tiny guest at a party!!!!!! On time, cost effective, and very professional... read more

Bubblemania performed at my friend's children's birthday party. They were great and the kids loved it. Definitely recommend

We were so looking forward to having Bubblemania at our son's birthday party. Unfortunately, Casey called me 20 minutes before the party start time to cancel because he was sick. We had no time to come up with an alternate game plan and this was the only activity we had planned for 30 kids at an indoor party on a rainy day. It was stressful and disappointing. I will say Joseph, the owner, was very apologetic and offered us a free show in the future, which I appreciated. But what we really would have wanted is for Bubblemania to have a back-up plan in place for moments like this so that families aren't left totally in the lurch. read more

I was at a party for my niece. Johnny came to do his bubble show. He was funny. Really good with the kids. I talked with him after and it turns out he is Johnny Corn. I had no idea. He is a stand up comedian. It dawned on me I saw him at Cobbs Comedy Club in San Francisco. He was very very good with the 1 year old that was there. I am very impressed. read more

Casey came out for my son's 1st birthday party. The adults are just as entertained as the kids. My squirmy one year old sat still and watched. This was the highlight of his day. read more

I also had a great experience with Bubblemania - they did my daughter's 3rd birthday party. There was an age-appropriate educational portion for (10 minutes-ish for 2 and 3 year-olds), another ~10 minutes of the kids getting to each be inside the giant bubble, then playtime in my backyard with the bubble implements and a large vat of bubble solution. Super fun, reasonable price, worry-free. Would definitely recommend. read more

These guys are so cool! I was at a friend's party and the Bubbleologist was fantastic. He was on time (always a plus) and was so good with all of the kids. They had so much fun and some of them said it was their favorite party they'd been to, ever. I would recommend them to any parents for their kids' parties. Great job ya'll! read more

Bubblemania was a HUGE hit at my one year old's first birthday party, and our performer Justin was absolutely fantastic. Everyone raved about his show, and how well he entertained such a wide audience (1, 3 & 6 year olds all loved it just as much as the 30, 40, and 60 year olds!) Would absolutely recommend this company to other friends and event planners. read more

We had the pleasure of having Bubble Mania visit my daughter's preschool yesterday. Our bubbleologist was engaging with the young children AND adults, infused science lessons and learning about shapes within the presentation and really just put on an enjoyable show. The staff at the school cannot stop raving about his professionalism and how much fun the show was. My daughter (who was one of the children called up to participate) also cannot stop talking about the "Bubble Guy"! We would definitely have them do a party or another school event for sure. Great company and GREAT FUN! read more

Simply put - FANTASTIC FUN! Thank you for making our event so very special. This is the second year in a row and will be back again next year by popular demand. Everything from the moment of contact to the very end was met with professionalism and enthusiasm. As for as negative reviews go...consider the source. Sometimes YELP is a forum for people to be negative no matter the experience. Thank you to Bubblemania! We think you are awesome! read more

"Bubblemania was the highlight of my nephew's 3 year old birthday party! I was a little bit worried about the mess that the show would make indoors turns out no mess was made at all! They put down a tarp to prevent it! They made all kinds of bubbles like squares, triangles, and they put my nephew inside of a bubble which my sister could not get enough of and ended up taking over a dozen photos. At the end EACH KID got to go inside of the bubble which was a huge hit! Shabana and Rochelle helped with the booking process and they were very helpful and easy to reach! All in all an excellent t time and highly recommended!!" read more

AWSOME all around. Michael's a great guy. Kids loved his show and he's super polite. Couldn't be more please :)

My best friend was celebrating his two year-old's birthday, so as a gift, I gave him a Bubblemania show, and hands-down, most memorable, fun idea ever for kids and their families. Fan-Pei was prompt and great with kids. We got some amazing photos too of everyone in bubbles. read more

The kids and I loved him he was professional and used to being around kids my son the birthday boy age 2 loves bubbles and bubble bathes and he blew so many it kept him running and chasing them so he didn't get in the pool with the bubbles although he wanted to read more

Bubblemania and Company - He's a great entertainer and the kids all loved playing in the bubbles worth every penny - Party & Event Planning Near Me

We hired Bubblemania for our sons 6th birthday and he had the best time!! I would strongly recommend to anyone looking for entertainment for young children or any age really for that matter as the whole family loved watching the performance. Aidan (spelling?) who came up from L.A. to do shows was so engaging and inclusive of so many kids and families there too in the indoor performance. He seemed like he must be an actor down LA as well... The kids also had just as much fun with the indoor part of the show as they did with the outdoor DIY segment for an hour and half (and we had almost 40 kids!) So many of the parents came up to us after the show and said it was an awesome party and wanted to know about Bubblemania and most had never heard of this type of show. read more

Wanted to hire something/someone different for my daughter's 1st bday than your typical face painter/storybook teller/fairy/jumphouse/balloon person kinda thing. Happened to stumble upon a blog, and they had a bubble person for their kids 1st bday party, and I thought to myself, "How cool is that!" Went in search for one here on Yelp, and came across Bubblemania. Was a bit skeptic at first because although this company had 5 stars, there wasn't many reviews, maybe 6 at the time. I said to myself,"What the hell, let's give this a try." So, I called the company, and within a 24 hour period, got a call back. They have people throughout the bay, and since I live in the East Bay, my bubbleologist, Michael, came from Oakland. He's freakin' awesome! He called a couple days before to confirm, was on time to the party, and had everyone's attention! We got the "Party Program" package where Michael set up several kiddie pools on our sidewalk, and the kids played with the bubbles before his part of the show. His part was very interactive, so he had the smaller kids sit right in front. At the end of the show, my daughter and I even got to be inside of a huge bubble! We got great pictures! People at the party were wondering what a bubbleologist was, and once the show got going, there were alot of "whoa's! oooooohhhhs!! ahhhs!!!" I definitely recommend this company and Michael to do a party. I'm still raving about it!! Thank you Bubblemania!! read more

The bubbles didn't work - she had to run back to the car for more Dawn during the performance! The floor and furniture wasn't covered/protected and we're getting soaked in bubble solution. Two kids fell in the bubble bath during the performance and got drenched. The bubble lady was nice but somewhat flat line. They were OK but not everything they promised on their website. read more
