Before and After: A Parent’s Honest Review of Our Zorb Football and Nerf Gun Combo PartyCombo Party Package in London – Kingston upon Thames

nerf party

Planning a kids’ birthday party can feel like walking a tightrope—balancing fun, safety, budget, and logistics while trying to deliver a day your child will never forget. That was exactly the case for me—a mum from Kingston upon Thames—until I discovered Bubble Boy Events and their Zorb Football and Nerf Gun Party in London – Kingston upon Thames.

This post is my honest, firsthand account of what happened before and after booking this high-energy party package.

🎯 The “Before”: The Stress of Planning a Party

Let’s be real—party planning can be overwhelming. My son had just turned 9, and I wanted to throw him something exciting, different, and interactive. He’s a high-energy kid who loves Nerf battles and anything to do with running and jumping around. But I didn’t want a typical indoor soft play or entertainer standing in front of kids who’d rather be climbing the walls.

I searched for active party ideas in Kingston upon Thames and found Bubble Boy Events. The idea of combining Zorb Football (those giant inflatable bubble suits kids roll around in) with Nerf Gun battles sounded absolutely perfect. But would they actually deliver? I was curious… and cautious.

✅ The Booking Process: Easy and Professional

The booking was incredibly straightforward through BubbleBoyEvents.co.uk. I selected the combo party for my chosen date, and within 24 hours, a friendly rep contacted me to confirm the time, location (we chose Dinton Field, but they offered great alternatives), and discuss setup needs.

Here’s what impressed me:

  • Clear communication (email and phone)
  • All equipment provided (Nerf guns, darts, Zorb suits, safety goggles, etc.)
  • No hidden fees
  • Flexible options for weather and space

I felt a wave of relief. The team clearly knew how to run a kids’ party from start to finish.

🎈 Party Day: The “After” Experience

The team arrived early, set up quickly and professionally, and had all the kids hyped before the games even began. Here’s a breakdown of how it went:

1. Zorb Football First

  • Kids climbed into giant bubble suits
  • Laughed nonstop as they bounced, bumped, and rolled around
  • Staff led games like bubble bulldog and mini matches

Even the shy kids couldn’t stop giggling. No one felt left out, which as a parent, was amazing to see.

2. Nerf Gun Battles

  • Divided into teams (red vs blue)
  • Played capture the flag and free-for-all games
  • Used inflatable bunkers and obstacles for cover
  • All safety gear provided

This part was high-energy and extremely well-managed. The team made sure every child understood the rules, stayed safe, and had fun.

👪 What the Kids Thought

My son called it “the best party I’ve ever had!” and I heard multiple kids ask their parents for the same party.

Other parents stayed and watched—and they were just as entertained. I even received texts later thanking me for “raising the party bar.”

💷 Was It Worth the Money?

Absolutely. For what we got—two hours of structured fun, all equipment, setup, takedown, staff management, and non-stop action—I felt it was great value. I didn’t need to hire separate entertainment, and there were no extra charges for gear or assistants.

Bonus: I didn’t have to do anything but bring drinks, cake, and a few snacks.

📍 Why Kingston upon Thames Was a Great Spot

Bubble Boy helped us pick Dinton Field, which had space for both activities and nearby parking. They also suggested Kingsmeadow and local school grounds as alternatives. They’ll come to gardens or halls too if you prefer a private venue.

⭐ What I’d Recommend to Other Parents

If you’re considering this combo party, here are my top tips:

  • Book early – They fill up fast, especially for weekends.
  • Bring water bottles – The kids get sweaty!
  • Have a camera ready – The photos of kids in Zorb suits are priceless.
  • Invite parents to stay – Even adults had a blast watching.

🧡 Final Verdict: 10/10

I can honestly say this was one of the least stressful and most fun parties I’ve ever hosted. The kids were smiling, moving, and completely engaged. And I actually got to enjoy the party instead of micromanaging it.

If you’re in the Zorb Football and Nerf Gun Party in London – Kingston upon Thames area and want something safe, active, and unforgettable, I highly recommend the Zorb + Nerf combo party from Bubble Boy Events.
