Why isn't there a fixed price list?

Every kids party is different. The right entertainment for a backyard birthday with 10 four-year-olds is not the same as a school fete with 200 kids or a community family day. Pricing that does not account for group size, duration and the specific services you want is not pricing — it is a guess.

Picco The Clown quotes every event individually so you get exactly what your party needs at a fair price, without paying for things you do not want. A quick phone call — 0432 622 157 — is the fastest way to get a real number.

What affects the cost of kids entertainment in Ballarat?

Duration — a one-hour face painting session costs less than a two-hour magic show plus face painting and balloon twisting. More time with the kids means more value delivered, and pricing reflects that.
Services included — a single service (face painting only, or balloon twisting only) is a lower entry point. Combining a magic show with face painting and balloon twisting is a fuller package at a higher price — but also means every child gets more.
Number of children — more kids means more time, more supplies and more energy. A party with 30 children requires a different approach to one with 12.
Date and location — weekend Saturday dates in peak months book out fastest and may carry a higher rate. Weekday parties and quieter months are sometimes more flexible.

Is it worth it?

A kids party entertainer does something no amount of party decorations or lolly bags can do — they take the pressure completely off you. While Picco is running the magic show, keeping 20 kids laughing and painting faces, you get to actually enjoy the party. Parents who have booked professional entertainment consistently say it is the single best decision they made for the day.

The entertainment is also what kids remember. Not the cake, not the decorations — the moment a magic trick went wrong and everyone laughed, or the butterfly that appeared on their face, or the sword balloon they refused to put down. Those are the memories that last years.
