Frequently Asked Questions + Other Important Information

WHAT IS SOFT PLAY?

Soft play refers to a mobile play area that can be set up both indoors and outdoors. It consists of equipment made from soft and durable foam material, specifically designed to provide a safe and engaging environment for babies and toddlers. Soft play equipment enables children to crawl, climb, ride, explore, and have fun while promoting various developmental benefits.

​

Engaging with soft play helps enhance gross motor skills, communication abilities, social skills, creativity, and physical strength in young children. Our Soft Play rental includes a range of equipment such as ball pits, climbers, animal bouncers, and more, all carefully selected to provide a diverse and stimulating play experience.

 

With soft play, children can actively participate in play, promoting their overall development while having an enjoyable time in a secure and age-appropriate setting.

WHAT AGES ARE APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR PLAY AREAS?

Our play areas are specifically designed for children between the ages of 6 months (able to sit primarily unassisted) and 5 years old. Parents are welcome to enter the play area and supervise their children, but they should refrain from sitting or playing on the equipment themselves.

We will work with you to arrange a payment plan that suits your preferences.

 

Our aim is to make the payment process convenient and stress-free for you.

DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT OR RETAINER?

To secure your desired date and package, we kindly request 25% of total invoice as a retainer at the time of booking. This retainer will be deducted from your total balance.

​

The remaining balance for your booking must be settled 10 prior to the event date. We appreciate your prompt payment to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience. Please be aware that the retainers are non-refundable as they are used to reserve and allocate resources for your specific event date. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

This policy ensures that all necessary arrangements can be promptly made to meet your event requirements.

WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE/CANCEL MY EVENT?

We understand that circumstances may arise requiring a rescheduling or cancellation of your reservation. We offer the flexibility to reschedule or cancel at no additional cost if the request is made at least 7 calendar days prior to your event. 

When rescheduling, please keep in mind that your original package selection may not be available for the new date and modifications may be necessary to accommodate the changes.

​

Please note that any notices provided with less than 7 calendar days of the original event date may not be eligible for rescheduling. We highly recommend having a backup plan (Plan B) in case of inclement weather. Our equipment is modular and can be set up indoors, ensuring that your event can still proceed smoothly even in unfavorable weather conditions.

 

We strive to be as accommodating as possible, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in managing any changes to your booking.

WHAT IS YOUR WEATHER POLICY?

For outdoor events, we strongly recommend having an indoor alternative in case of inclement weather conditions. If there is any chance of rain, we will not proceed with the outdoor set-up to prevent potential damage to our equipment. Water can pose a serious risk and harm the quality of our soft play items.

​

Please be mindful of the West Texas heat, especially during the summer months. Our soft play equipment is made of vinyl material, which can become very hot under direct sunlight. To ensure the comfort and safety of everyone, we highly advise having shade or arranging for an indoor set-up when booking events in hot weather conditions.

 

Furthermore, we prioritize the safety of you and your guests. Therefore, we will not set up the equipment outdoors during heavy wind, rain, thunderstorms, or lightning. Safety is our utmost concern, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining a secure environment for everyone involved.

WHAT IS NOT ALLOWED WITH SOFT PLAY?

To ensure the safety and longevity of our soft play equipment, there are certain activities and items that are not allowed in conjunction with the rental.

 

These include:

  1. Water activities: Soft play areas cannot be rented if there will be water-based activities such as swimming, sprinklers, water slides, water guns, or water balloons. Water can cause damage to the equipment and compromise safety.

  2. Pets: Animals are not permitted within the soft play area to maintain cleanliness and hygiene standards.

  3. Shoes: To preserve the cleanliness and prevent damage to the equipment, we require that participants remove their shoes before entering the soft play area.

  4. Face paint, confetti, and glitter: These items are not allowed as they can stain or damage the soft play equipment.

  5. Sharp objects: For safety reasons, sharp objects are prohibited from the soft play area. This includes items such as knives, scissors, or any other objects that may pose a risk of injury.

  6. Outside toys: Only the soft play equipment provided by our company is permitted within the play area. Outside toys should not be brought into the designated soft play space.

  7. Sweets, food, and drinks: To maintain cleanliness and prevent damage to the equipment, we kindly request that no food, drinks, or sweets be consumed within the soft play area.


​By adhering to these guidelines, we can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants while preserving the quality of our soft play equipment.

DO YOU SET UP AT PARKS?

Currently, we do not offer set-up services at parks. Our set-up services are limited to indoor venues or private properties. We prioritize providing a seamless and controlled experience for our customers, which is why we focus on locations where we can ensure the safety, security, and proper functioning of our equipment.

 

However, we are continually evaluating and expanding our services, so please stay tuned for any updates regarding park set-up availability in the future.

CAN WE RENT THE EQUIPMENT FOR LONGER THAN 4 HOURS?

Absolutely! We understand that some events may require a longer rental period, and we are happy to accommodate your needs. We offer the option to extend the equipment rental beyond the standard 4-hour duration. For each additional hour, there is an extra charge of $50. This flexibility allows you to customize the rental timeframe according to the unique requirements of your event, ensuring that you have ample time to enjoy our equipment and create lasting memories.

WHY EL PASO PARTY CO OVER OTHERS?

We take pride in offering a truly exceptional soft play experience that is both luxurious and commercial grade. Unlike other options, our play area is meticulously designed with a focus on quality and safety.

​

This means that by choosing us, you are opting for an exclusive and premium soft play experience that cannot be replicated easily. We are committed to providing our customers with top-notch, one-of-a-kind products and service that exceed expectations.

HOW OFTEN IS THE EQUIPMENT CLEANED?

We prioritize the safety and well-being of our clients and their guests. To provide you with a worry-free experience, we diligently clean, sanitize, and disinfect all of our equipment after each rental. Our process guarantees that every item is thoroughly sanitized and ready for use. Additionally, we conduct a second pass of cleaning on-site, ensuring an added layer of cleanliness before your event begins.

 

With our stringent hygiene protocols, you can have peace of mind knowing that your guests will enjoy safe and clean equipment.
