About Playparty.net

Playparty.net is a fabulous children’s birthday party and entertainment business that was started in June of 1997 in Los Angeles, California. The founder, Mike Southgate, is a married father of two girls.

Mike created this new party business by incorporating two of the most popular toy creations, Hot Wheels® toy cars and LEGOs, for which millions of kids all over the world have been playing with since the 1940’s and 1960’s.

What makes Playparty.net different?
Everyone knows that kids are experts at playing. Therefore, Mike decided to build the Playparty.net concept where the kids would have a hands-on, freestyle approach to playing and interacting at a birthday party event. The “old-style” birthday party entertainment of “watching” the entertainment seemed dated and a bit boring. Why watch a puppet show, or watch a magic show or watch a clown character when today’s modern kids prefer to do hands-on play activities. Imagine a group of 10-20 or more kids at your child's party and everyone is happy, engaged and playing together. This is our recipe for a successful birthday party event. We take great pride in knowing that a lot of our satisfied clients are repeat and referral customers.

Staffed Parties
We do it all. We set up the custom toy equipment, we stay and play and supervise all the kids’ activities and you don’t have to do a thing but have fun interacting with your adult party guests knowing that all the kids and their party guests are having fun by playing with the Playparty.net equipment and playing together.

Rentals
For our clients who have party entertainment budget concerns you may want to consider just doing a race track or LEGO “rental” situation but remember that you will be responsible to supervise all of the kids at your party event. Please visit our rental link for more detailed information including pricing.

And, because of the great success and popularity of Playparty, franchises are now available in California,Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Oregon.
