6 Best Birthday Party Tents: Expert Picks for Fun

Customer Review: We brought it for our puppy to play in. He loved it! kept running up and down the tunnel. Easy to assemble as they popped up and easy to fold away again, no fuss. Even comes with pegs so you can use them outside which is a plus. Great option as can be used individually as well. Highly recommend 🙂

Customer Review: Just as an intro, I had read a bunch of reviews on this play tent (and many comparable ones,) and they all seem to have many happy customers, with a couple of folks mainly unhappy with general quality/sturdiness.I figured- what they heck- this toy isn’t meant to last like a house, and if it gives my kids even a couple of uses of fun before it shreds, it’s worth it as an experience, being cheaper than say, a trip to a local jungle gym or trampoline/bounce place.That being said – it is surprisingly durable! My kids have been jumping, crawling, and completely abusing this play tent and I simply don’t see where the negative reviews in that regard come from. Perhaps the seller/manufacturer improved the quality since then.So here’s how it all went down:The package arrived, and it was a complete surprise for my kids. No occasion, or reason, except for perhaps the fact that their mother spends too much time browsing Amazon suggestions.As I withdrew the slim, circular pouch from the box, I breathed a sigh of relief as I realized that this would not be responsible for the displacement of an important appliance or necessary item(s) in its stead – it is way thinner and smaller as folded than you would believe. I have very limited closet space, and I actually now store it hung on a hanger in a closet- it’s no thicker than the kid’s spring jacket hanging next to it.And as I opened up the package and proceeded to assemble the tent, my three-year-old literally jumped up and down with excitement and cackled with glee. His entire being physically quivered from the unrestrained joy that this larger-than-his-life, colorful, climbable monstrosity brought to him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so excited. And all my doubts melted away – sheesh – if I could bring such sheer bliss for $33 to everyone that easily, I’d start a national organization with this play tent featuring in its mission statement.I first propped up the three pieces separately, and it was all I could do to keep the kids from scampering through them before being able to connect them to each other. (It was really simple, by the way. No instructor necessary.)And then, I let ‘em loose.They spent close to three hours doing EVERYTHING in this play tent. They crawled through it a gajillion times. They sat at opposite ends, and rolled a ball through the tunnel to each other. The played hide and seek, and chased each other in and out. They brought books in, and read quietly inside for a bit. They brought play food into the units, and set themselves up a kitchen. They took linen off their beds, and set themselves up camping.I surmise that any given activity is just waaay more fun inside the tent than outside. I’m beginning to question traditionally held beliefs regarding livability and space. Maybe all we need is a little colorful pop-up tent with someone to share it with to make us happy?Anyhow, this one’s a real hit. I ordered a package of 200 balls separately for a second level of excitement, but really – it’s not necessary. This tent is very entertaining for the kids and inspires a lot of imagination – after they’re done with all the physical activity involved with crawling through it/climbing over it, etc.And folding it up, as packaged (and as stated before) – it’s a pleasure how little space this takes up. The actual disassembly/twisting the three pieces back into shape takes a bit of maneuvering, but once I got the warpy hang of it, it’s not that difficult.All in all, given my kids’ reaction, this is probably my best amazon purchase yet.

Customer Review: The parachute is holding up well to off and on use by my two kids, though they are still young for it. It’s perfect for a family of four to use, easily controlled by two adults while two excited toddlers run under and around. The kids also can influence a 8′ parachute easily enough. It’s a little cramped if everyone tries to hide under it; but that just adds to the excitement. We enjoy tossing balls around inside it, or hiding toys beneath too. On rainy, cold days, it can provide a much needed means for releasing toddler-energy and provide a source for giggles. The storage bag it came with makes it easy to clean up, even for a toddler. The bag is over-sized and parachute is easily stuffed inside.

Customer Review: I rated this 5 stars because it is exactly what it says it is – a 6 foot parachute. To be honest, it is a little too small for us so I wish I had measured out 6 feet before hand and gotten an idea about how small it would be. Just thought I would mention that in my review. This is not really a parachute you can lift up and then sit under, if you know what I mean. If you want to be able to do that, or have your child sit on it and flap it around the kid – go with a bigger size. (Or boy is 44 inches tall, just as a frame of reference.)If you were worried about using it inside, this size should be fine! It is really not too big.For the price (good) and for the quality (also pretty good) – it is worth the money and they described it correctly, so five stars! We will still use it, but also get another one that is bigger.

Customer Review: For the price I expected a higher quality. Disappointed. Did not meet expectations in terms of quality

Customer Review: This princess castle tent is adorable! My daughter loves it and spends hours playing inside. The glow stars are a fun touch! Easy to set up and take down. Highly recommend for any little princess!

Customer Review: Great play tent for the price. It’s spacious enough for my two girls to play together. The design is very cute and they love the glow stars. It’s a perfect birthday gift for any princess fan.

Customer Review: I got these to save the hassle of all-hands-on-deck when our grandson started crawling. I rigged one end into the open crawl space of the over-sized play yard so he has a safe crawl zone in our living room. I like that these have the netting at the top so we can see our him and he can see us. It’s a lot more fun to interact with him because we can see each other. As others commented, I wish there were longer ties at the ends because we connected two together, although as I slid one end just inside the end of the other tunnel, I added ties near the second coil of one end of each tunnel, so ties at the very end may or may not have worked as well. Of there were ties there are well specifically for connecting two or more would be great. The shorter velcro ties that are now really only work for wrapping it closed when not in use. There are some tiny holes in a couple of spots of the netting, but, I suspect they were made by our border collie leaping over them. At this price, I’ve ordered two more for when any repairs are bigger than an easy stitch-fix.

Customer Review: Great for the price! They aren’t as wide as I thought they would be. Large adults cannot pass through. Easy to assemble and store.We put ours on the end of a small slide. The kids love it!
