About the Balloon Twisting
Balloon Art is a classic party entertainment service that children and parents can't get enough of. There is something wonderfully entertaining about watching the making of a balloon as it rapidly turns into a favourite animal, flower or cartoon character. At Bazinga Parties in Basel we have a number of amazing balloon artists that can turn requests into amazing works of balloon art.
- Up to 12 Children per hour
- Fast and fun creations offering a wide variety of designs
- Safe and eco-friendly balloons
- Skilled and professionally trained balloon artists
On the big day your Balloon Artist will arrive 10 minutes early to setup and discuss the running of the entertainment with the host. Once setup they will get to work making balloons for all the guests. On average our balloon artists can sculpt 12 - 16 balloons in an hour, depending on the size and complexity of the balloon designs. At Bazinga Parties in Basel we use only the highest quality balloons that are bio-degradable and safe for kids.
Popular balloon art designs our artists can create include: Most animals, swords, dogs, giraffes, butterflies, dinosaurs, flowers, crowns, lions and hearts. Have something specific for your party theme? No problem.. Just let us know when you reserve your date.

Here’s What to Expect
We keep it simple. You book, we show up, the kids have lots of fun. Here’s exactly how it works from booking to the last balloon twist.
1
Book Online
Select balloon art in the booking form, choose your date and time, pick your payment type (invoice or card). We will check the details and send you a booking confirmation.
2
We Arrive Early
Your Basel balloon artist arrives early (10 minutes) to set up, say hello to the birthday kid, and discuss any special requests you might have.
3
Pick a Design
We bring a menu of at least 15 different balloon designs — swords, puppies, unicorns, flowers, you name it. Children can pick their favourite.
4
Pack Up and Go
We leave your venue exactly as we found it. No mess, no fuss. Just a party full of happy kids clutching their new balloon creations.
Quick Tip: Keep your balloon artist off the grass and out of direct sun if you can. Grass pops balloons the second they touch it, and hot sun makes them expand and burst. A shaded patio, driveway or indoor spot works best.

BaselSome FAQ's
How far in advance should I book a balloon artist in Basel?
Balloon artists are one of the most popular additions to kids' parties in Basel. Whether you're celebrating at home, near the Rhine promenade or after a family visit to Lange Erlen – our balloon artists come directly to your venue with everything they need. Every child picks their own creation, from swords and animals to elaborate hats and fantasy sculptures. Summer weekends in Basel are the busiest time, so we recommend booking three to four weeks ahead for dates between May and September. During the quieter months, a week or two of notice is usually sufficient. Book online to check live availability or WhatsApp us with any questions.
How many balloon creations can one artist make per hour?
Our Basel balloon artists can create around 12–15 creations per hour, depending on how complex the designs are. Simple swords, hearts and flowers go quicker; elaborate characters, animal hats and princess crowns take a bit longer. Our minimum booking is 1 hour at CHF 250 — whether you’ve got 3 kids or 12, that’s our standard call-out rate. For parties with more than 12 kids, we recommend booking 1.5 hours, or adding 30 minutes for every additional 6 children. Not sure? Send us a quick message with your guest count and we’ll tell you exactly what you need.
Are the balloons safe for children?
Yes. We only use 100% natural latex balloons. If anyone at the party has a latex allergy, let us know at the time of booking and we’ll bring a latex-free setup instead.
What do I need to provide at the venue?
Just a little bit of space, ideally indoors or on a patio — that’s it. Our artists bring pumps, balloons, design menus and everything else needed. The one thing to avoid is setting up on grass or in direct sun: grass pops latex balloons almost instantly and hot sun makes them expand and burst. A shaded spot, driveway, hallway or front room works great.
What happens if my balloon artist can’t make it on the day?
It’s extremely rare — it’s happened only a handful of times in the five years we’ve been running parties in Basel. If illness or an emergency does come up, we’ll immediately pull in a replacement from our Basel team. If we genuinely can’t cover the booking with reasonable notice, you’ll get a full refund. Either way, you’ll hear from us straight away — we never go quiet on you.
Can the balloons match my party theme?
Yes, for most simpler themes. If your party is superhero, princess, jungle, unicorn, mermaid, dinosaur or similar, let us know when booking and our balloon artist will lean into the theme with matching colours and designs — a red-and-blue Spider-Man sword, a pink unicorn, a green dinosaur. For very specific character sculptures (like a full Spider-Man character), that’s beyond what most balloon artists can deliver in a party setting, but we can usually do something themed that captures the vibe. Tell us your theme at booking and we’ll let you know what works.
Can I combine balloon art with other entertainment?
Absolutely, and it’s one of our most popular setups. Our Active Party package (CHF 325) pairs balloon art with face painting or party games, run by the same entertainer across a 90-minute slot. The Complete Party (CHF 545) rolls all three into a single session. Having one person run everything keeps the party flowing and works out noticeably cheaper than booking each service separately.
What happens if a balloon pops during the party?
It happens — a kid squeezes too hard, someone steps on a sword, a balloon brushes against a rough wall. Our artists always bring extras, and as long as we’re still at the party, we’ll replace a popped balloon free of charge. That’s why we recommend setting up indoors on a smooth surface (not grass) — it keeps pops to a minimum and means every kid leaves with their creation.
What age is balloon art suitable for?
Balloon art is popular for kids aged 2 and up, and honestly works for any age party — we’ve had teenagers and adults queue up at weddings and brand events too. For toddlers under 2, we recommend larger bubble balloons or simple balloon animals rather than small pieces, just for safety. Our Basel artists are good at reading the room and adjusting designs to match the age group.
