We provide Foam Parties, Glow-in-the-Dark Foam Parties, Bubble Parties, Glow Bubble Parties, Snow Experiences, and Foam/Bubble/Snow Machine Rentals. If you’re not sure which option fits your event, check out our service pages or start with our Book Now page.

Is your foam safe?

Yes. Our foam is hypoallergenic and non-toxic. Our HD Stacker foam machine and solution are also CAR certified (Certified Autism Resource).

Do you serve large events, schools, and festivals?

Yes — large events are our specialty. Hilltop Foam Parties regularly serves schools, HOAs, churches, city festivals, corporate gatherings, and events with several hundred to several thousand guests.
For multi-unit foam, bubbles, or snow setups, contact us early to secure your date.

Do adults participate?

Absolutely — our events are a hit with both kids and adults. We get booked for adults only events, college events, neighborhoods, and more. In fact, even for our “kids” events, we can hardly think of any where at least one parent, teacher, counselor, or adult of some sort didn’t join in on the fun.

Are you licensed and insured?

Of course! We take our business and safety very seriously. We have our business licenses and insurance as we believe in doing things the right way.

Do you offer weekday events?

Yes — we book seven days a week.

Foam Party Questions

Will guests get wet at a foam party?

Yes, the foam is made of water and bubbles, so guests will get wet. The foam evaporates quickly in warm weather, but guests will be wet to the equivalent of playing in a sprinkler if they are entirely in the foam.

What is a foam party and how does it work?

We use professional-grade foam cannons to blast out mountains of clean, fluffy foam that builds into a giant play area. Music, photos, games, and high-energy fun are all part of the experience.
See more details on our Foam Parties page.

What surfaces are best for foam?

Turf, concrete, asphalt, and grass are most commonly used. Anywhere that allows for some type of drainage and isn’t overly slippery works great.

Does the foam create a mess?

One of the best parts about having a foam party is the lack of cleanup required. The foam dissipates on its own a short time after the party (the warmer the weather the faster the dissolution).

Is the foam slippery?

Not typically, but it very much depends on the surface type. If the surface you’re thinking of is slippery when it rains lightly, then it will probably be slippery with foam and vice versa. Standard concrete, asphalt, and grass are the most common places people request foam parties. Wearing shoes with traction is recommended.

Glow Foam Questions

What makes Glow Foam different from a regular foam party?

Glow Foam uses UV-reactive foam and high-powered blacklights that make the foam glow neon at night. It’s one of our most popular after-dark experiences and is a must see experience to truly understand how fun they are.

Does Glow Foam require darkness?

Glow Foam is best after sunset for the full glow effect and event experience. For larger events, we often times start a little before sunset. This allows for younger guests to have fun before it’s fully dark and allows others to see the transition of slightly glowing as it gets darker to full glowing.

What’s included in a Glow Foam setup?

UV-reactive foam, blacklights, party lights, music, and a professional party host. View full details on our Glow Foam page.

Bubble & Glow Bubble Questions

What’s included in a Bubble Party?

Massive output bubble machines, high-quality bubble solution, hands-on bubble stations, music, and a party host. Bubble Parties are perfect for daytime events of all sizes and for all weather.

Is bubble solution safe?

Yes — non-toxic and biodegradable.

Can bubble parties be done indoors?

We typically wouldn’t recommend most of our services indoors aside from certain exceptions. However, bubbles are great year round since guests don’t get wet the same way they do with foam parties.

What are Glow Bubble Parties?

Glow Bubbles use UV-reactive bubble solution, LED bubble machines, blacklights, and oversized bubble wands to create massive glowing bubbles guests can create and interact with by hand. See more on our Glow Bubble Party page.

Snow Experience Questions

Can snow events be done year-round?

Yes — our machines work in hot weather and cold weather.

What is a Snow Experience?

We use professional snow machines to create realistic falling snow for winter events, tree lightings, festivals, and photos.

Is the snow safe for guests?

Yes — it’s non-toxic and safe for all ages, landscaping, and pets.

Does the snow build up on the ground?

It can build up slightly if the snowflake size is turned up high, but we typically run it lower for the best “falling snow” effect. It evaporates cleanly and does not create slippery piles when used properly.

Can you handle large events?

Yes. We specialize in large-scale events for schools, HOAs, festivals, church events, and corporate gatherings. We regularly serve crowds from 100 to several thousand.

Yes — especially for larger events. We have done lots of events for universities, festivals, and other events well outside of our standard service area as a result of our reputation. A travel fee may apply depending on distance.

Can I combine foam, bubbles, glow, or snow?

Yes — many clients combine multiple experiences, especially for school field days, HOA events, and festivals.

We can adjust most any service to fit your area. However, typical recommendations are:

Foam Parties: 30×30 ft

Glow Foam: similar space, ideally darker

Bubble Parties: any open area

Glow Bubbles: darker outdoor areas

Snow Events: any open area
