[See foam party packages and prices →](https://slumberr.com/foam-party/) **A foam party is an event where a professional foam cannon fills a play area with mountains of light, bubbly foam that guests dance, jump and play in.** The foam is generated from a water-and-solution mix, feels like a fluffy bubble bath, and melts away on its own. At kids’ parties, a host runs the cannon in timed “foam drops” so the fun stays safe and the hype stays high. **15×15 ft**flat area needed **Hose + outlet**the only hookups **Hypoallergenic**kid-safe foam solution **All ages**toddlers to teens (and adults) ## Is foam party foam safe for kids? Yes — professional foam parties use a **hypoallergenic, non-toxic, biodegradable solution** that’s gentle on skin and eyes, dries without residue, and won’t harm grass, turf, pavers or pool decks. It rinses away with plain water. Kids with sensitive eyes can wear goggles, and hosts keep foam drops short for the littlest guests. (This is one place DIY dish-soap recipes go wrong — they sting eyes and kill lawns. It’s the number-one reason to rent a real [foam party setup](https://slumberr.com/foam-party/).) ## How much does a foam party cost? A hosted foam party rental in Florida typically runs a few hundred dollars, depending on duration, travel distance and extras like **glow foam** — UV-reactive foam under blacklights for evening parties. Slumberr’s packages include the professional foam cannon, the foam solution, setup, a party host and cleanup. You can [get a live quote online](https://slumberr.com/book/) for your date and city in about two minutes. ## What should you wear to a foam party? Swimsuits, rash guards or play clothes that can get soaked — plus a towel and dry change of clothes for after. Bare feet or water shoes beat sneakers (foam is slippery on smooth surfaces). For glow foam nights, white and neon clothing lights up under the blacklights. ## Where can you have a foam party? Backyards, driveways, cul-de-sacs, pool decks, school fields, churches and camps — anywhere with a flat area roughly 15 by 15 feet, a hose hookup and power within 50 feet. We bring everything else and take it all away after, across [Central and South Florida](https://slumberr.com/areas-we-service/). ## Foam party FAQs ### What is the foam actually made of? Water plus a specially formulated foaming concentrate — hypoallergenic, dye-free and biodegradable. It’s closer to a giant bubble bath than to soap suds. ### Does a foam party ruin your grass? No. Professional foam solution is plant-safe and breaks down within hours; the grass usually looks better for the watering. ### Can toddlers join a foam party? Yes — hosts keep foam shallow for little ones and run shorter drops. Many families pair a foam hour with a dry activity station for the youngest guests. ### Do foam parties work for school events and brand activations? Absolutely — foam zones are crowd magnets at field days, camps, grand openings and [corporate family events](https://slumberr.com/corporate-events-and-parties/).
