nerf party

If you’re planning a birthday party or special event for your child in Cambourne, chances are you’re considering something unique, active, and fun-filled. Two standout options are sweeping the party scene: the high-energy Nerf Gun Party and the hilariously bouncy Zorb Football. But the big question remains — which one is more fun for kids?

At Bubble Boy Events, we offer both of these exciting activities across Cambourne and beyond. Each brings its own brand of action, teamwork, and laughter. So let’s break them down and help you decide which is the best fit for your next kids’ party.

🎯 Nerf Gun Party: Tactical Action and Foam Dart Mayhem

Nerf Gun Parties are an absolute hit with kids aged 6–12 (and even older!). Armed with soft-foam dart blasters, players take part in team-based missions that combine excitement, strategy, and nonstop movement.

🔹 What’s Included?

  • A variety of Nerf blasters and ammo
  • Inflatable bunkers and obstacles for cover
  • Safety goggles for all players
  • Team-based missions (Capture the Flag, Elimination, etc.)
  • Experienced event hosts to manage the fun

✅ Why Kids Love It

  • Feels like their favourite video game, but real!
  • Encourages teamwork and friendly rivalry
  • Fast-paced and imaginative
  • Great for indoor or outdoor setups

✅ Why Parents Love It

  • Fully supervised and safe
  • Kids stay active and engaged for the entire session
  • Can be adapted for different group sizes and ages

⚽ Zorb Football: Bouncing, Rolling, and Laughing Nonstop

Also known as Bubble Football, this activity takes regular 5-a-side football and adds a wild twist: each child wears a giant inflatable zorb bubble covering their upper body and head. It’s not just about scoring goals—it’s about bumping, rolling, and laughing through every moment.

🔹 What’s Included?

  • Giant inflatable zorb suits
  • Fun, safe game variants like Last Person Standing, Zorb Sumo, and more
  • A football pitch or open play area
  • Game coordinators to lead and referee

✅ Why Kids Love It

  • It’s football, but silly and outrageous
  • Kids love bumping into each other and falling without getting hurt
  • Nonstop giggles, even if they’re not football fans

✅ Why Parents Love It

  • A great way to burn off energy
  • Safe and inclusive, even for non-sporty kids
  • Plenty of photo-worthy moments
