What changes the price of a kids birthday party in Dubai?
Five things, whoever you book with: how many kids, how long, how many entertainers, the extras and the venue. This is how it works with us.
- Number of children: more kids need more hands to keep the games safe and fun, so we size the team to the group. Above 35 children, one extra entertainer joins per extra group, at AED 800 + VAT.
- Duration: our parties last 60 or 90 minutes. Extra time is AED 350 + VAT per 30 minutes per entertainer.
- Number of entertainers: each one is a coach or host trained in child psychology and first aid, so the size of the team is a big part of the price.
- Add-ons: decoration, mascots and other party extras are priced on top of the package.
- Venue: we come to you, at home or in a villa, hotel, restaurant, community hall or outdoor space anywhere in Dubai, and transport is included. Anything a hotel or restaurant charges for space, food or drinks is agreed with them directly.

What do parents say about La Folie birthday parties?
Parents rate us ★ 5.0 from 182 Google reviews. Here is what seven families wrote about their La Folie birthday parties and playdates, copied word for word, including the coaches they named.
La Folie UAE is THE reference when it comes to kids entertainment. Besides just doing amazing with kids, the company is so genuine, every person we dealt with was adorable, service was impeccable. They helped us organize and run the best party for our son's birthday and by all means we won't look elsewhere for his next birthday.
La Folie are pure kid-magic! I call them the Pied Piper of Party Time, they can gather every kid (even the super-bouncy, zoom-zoom ones!) and have them laughing, dancing, and totally involved. Zero stress for us grown-ups, maximum fun for the kiddos!
Over the past two years, La Folie has become more than entertainment providers but rather a family to us. They have been with us for all my kids' birthdays, treating it as if it's their own, catering to every detail, going the extra mile, helping with every aspect and bringing so much life and joy to all our celebrations. I cannot recommend them enough!
Marc and Katerina from La Folie team did an amazing job at my Daughter's birthday! Super recommended
35 kids + 40(maybe more) adults + Dubai heat sounds like a survival challenge… but they handled it like absolute pros. The energy, organization, and patience were next level! A huge shoutout to Michel and Joe, you guys were incredible! The kids were fully engaged, laughing non-stop, and somehow you managed to keep everything fun and under control at peak chaos (which is seriously impressive).
La Folie planned the birthday of my son this year, handling the entertainment, decorations, and the overall birthday setup - everything was outstanding. The team was professional, creative, and attentive to every detail, making the planning and day of the celebration stress-free and truly memorable.
We always have lafolie for our playdates, [parties] and kids celebrations.. they are excellent in directing the activities engaging and getting the kids super excited about the events!! Also a life savior when hosting!!
