Fly By Fun

We used Fly By Fun for the second time and the whole process was super easy. The entertainer was fantastic with the kids and had so many fun activities planned. Our son absolutely loved Spider‑Man and hasn’t stopped talking about him.

Booked Fly By Fun for my son's 3rd birthday - Spider-Man theme and honestly couldn't be happier. The team were really nice to deal with and did their best to make sure the entrance was exactly how we wanted it. Laurent on the day engaged the kids really well. Clearly super experienced. My son was absolutely losing his mind the whole time haha. Was a bit skeptical at first but glad we went with them. Will 100% be booking again

We had a transformer come to my son’s 5th bday and the kids had the time of their lives. Definitely became the highlight of the party. Will definitely get fly by fun to come to my daughter’s birthday too!

Party host was great with the children and kept the children engaged and involved! Great service and great party options!

Super easy booking process and the staff were lovely to deal with. Our entertainer Khush was brilliant with the kids and made sure they all had a great time.

Fly By Fun is a slick marketing and sales machine. I completed the contact form on their website to request a quote for my son’s birthday party. What is normally a straightforward process with other companies quickly became overwhelming. In response, I received 8 text messages, 5 missed phone calls, and 11 emails - and only one of those… Read more

communications actually contained a quote.

My concerns deepened when I replied to a text message at around 1am and received an immediate response, followed by several more messages shortly after. This raised suspicions that I was interacting with an AI bot rather than a human. While the messages attempted to appear human through small spelling or typing errors (as shown in my screenshots), I later discovered through other reviews that many people had the same suspicion - and that the company has since confirmed their use of AI bots.

As a result, I will never again provide my phone number through an online contact form, and I strongly suggest others consider doing the same. Certain companies - including this one - will relentlessly follow up across multiple channels, leaving you no option but to block them.

It also appeared that I wasn’t dealing with a single point of contact. Instead, I seemed to be interacting with multiple people (5?) who were not communicating with each other, resulting in duplicated messages via text, email, and phone calls at different times. This was confusing, intrusive, and ultimately unprofessional. Now I think they weren’t even real people at all. How do I know they weren’t all AI bots???

Additionally, after reading numerous reviews here and on Google - and based on my own experience - it’s clear that Fly By Fun does not directly employ entertainers or run the activities themselves. They operate as a middleman, adding an estimated 25–30% markup to services provided by third parties. It would not surprise me if the staff are working on commission (if there are any human staff at all), which may explain the aggressive follow-up.

Finally, a quick search of the founder and owner, [Name Removed], suggests that her primary business focus is not providing children’s party entertainment, but rather the development and deployment of AI-driven sales systems. This leaves me questioning whether I interacted with a human at any point during this process and why I’m bothering with such a company who don’t have their focus or interest on children’s entertainment or parties at all.

Overall, this experience was frustrating, invasive, and disappointing.

Avoid avoid avoid !!! We booked paw patrol and paid nearly $900 for Ryder to play games, make balloons, dancing games with the children and a unicorn to do face painting and then for them to change into mascots for the last half hour. What we got was a long haired, bearded, gum chewing Ryder who sat and made swords out of balloons for the… Read more

children ( that was it) the children had no idea he was supposed to be Ryder! A unicorn who couldn’t paint! No games! No interaction with the children when dressed as mascots. They were beyond awful! AND I had booked Chase and was eventually told after numerous emails and messages to the events coordinator that they couldn’t do it! No apologies just a blunt we can’t do it! Please note this was their 2nd chance because last year with them was a disaster as well!! Save your money and book a decent company!

Go direct to entertainers and suppliers and save money – I would not recomment this company purely because they do not own any of the characters or services, they act as an agent and put hefty fees on top. You're better to source characters, party entertainers, and anything directly in your state, to keep the costs down. I was quoted thousands of dollars, when asked to provide public liability… Read more

certificate, they told me they couldn't until I paid them a deposit. Bit hard when I need information before booking any event to go through a board. Bad attitude from staff too. Save your money, go direct to small business and book your parties with entertainers and suppliers who work hard, save yourself money and support local business in your area. This company adds on so much money to third party quotes, they're located in Sydney, and give a third of the money they take from people malking bookings to entertainers and suppliers who do all the hard work! Shame the CEO has no idea how bad the attitude of her staff are, especially when asking for simple information before booking. Absolutely astounded at how much profit they put on top for themselves, I know this because I've been running events for over 25 years and their quotes are so over inflated, because they have to pay staff to run the agency. Go direct. Support local. Fly By Fun's quote for 3 hours for two ponies around $2,500 (no mention if GST was included in the price). Local contractor we used last year for 3 hours $850.00. Six hours was quoted at nearly $4,000.00! Last year's contractor for six hours was $1150. However, they failed to note that you can't have ponies out in the sun for six hours without a break! They don't know this because they don't own them. They make money out of using contractors and suppliers. Support local, ring around, ask friends, post on Facebook asking for recommendations if you need anything for children - that way you know what you're getting and you're getting it without the inflated cost they add on top.

Amazing ninja entertainer – We had a great ninja entertainer for our son's 7th birthday party. The kids loved the games, balloon ninja swords and glitter tattoos, and he did a wonderful job of entertaining the kids even when some were a little over enthusiastic with the balloon swords! Everything went smoothly and the kids had a blast, thank you :)

Wonderful birthday experience – We had a fairy come for our daughter’s 4th birthday - she did a great job managing the entertainment and everyone loved the face painting

Absolutely fantastic! – The Hulk came to our 5 year old’s birthday party, he was just phenomenal! Seamless from booking to party time. Highly recommend! Thank you Fly by Fun, for making our day magical!

Wonderful kids party entertainer – We had Spiderman at our son’s 4tn birthday and he was a massive hit! Parents haven’t stopped talking about him since when I bump into them. And best of all, my son absolutely loved him too!

Perfect entertainer for a birthday party – We had Alex who dressed up as a spider man for our little boy’s birthday party yesterday. It is by far the best part of the day for all the kiddies. Alex make sure he involved all the kids and was very attentive to the kids, it was 36 degree outside yesterday and Alex did not hesitate but transfer the games outside to the backyard as some kids… Read more

Hit show – The superman character in my sons birthday party was a hit. Would recommend everyone to book from fly by fun. Nicely managed full entertainment for whole hour. The entertainer also had a close resemblance to superman.

A great experience from start to finish! – We contacted Fly by Fun for our daughter’s 6th birthday party (and Art & Craft party) and we were delighted with the whole experience. Our daughter and her friends had such a great time. Jelly, our entertainer was professional, on-time and amazing with the kids. Would highly recommend! Definitely returning to Fly by Fun for future parties! Thanks again!

Underdelivered, poorly organised – my 5yo had a slime party. the slime didn't turn out, not surprising as the ingredients were measured out. Most kid threw their slime in the bin. Those that wanted to take it home were offered containers with the wrong fitting lids. The entertainer had no cleaning up for the kids at all, didnt even enter her mind. We used baby wipes from guest and… Read more

parents complained that they had to use solvo to get the colouring off kids hands once they got home. The entertainer was not very entertaining at all, no energy, could keep the kids attention. Our party was at a park, you need to BYO arts and craft table for the kids. This was stessful to source and organise to bring down to a park. They had no table coverings and it took a good scrub with bleach to get my tables clean afterwards. I honestly think i could have looked upl a slime recipe on line, bought some cheap whacky glasses and lab coat and hosted a better slime party myself. disppointing and heart breaking for my daughter who was looking forward to her birthday so much
