This package includes 10 children
(and approximately 10 adults)
Each additional child is $25 (maximum 14 children – there are no exceptions, as we have no extra seating for children)
You may recommend to parents of your invited guests to please drop off their child – we are at a beautiful plaza with a grocery store and restaurants – they may wish to come back at the end of the party to pick up their child.
Our princess palace can accommodate up to 28 people, including adults & children maximum
(additional charges may apply)
(Please note that if you choose to have more than 20 people, the Palace space will feel more restricted, so we do recommend having under 20 people)

and comply to the City of Burlington’s building code of regulation.
Are boys included?
Fantasy Fables Inc. is gender neutral and will also include the boys in all activities while visiting the palace.
We offer dress-up to the boys as well, as a pirate or prince, and during makeovers, the boys are welcome to have a tattoo.
Decorations
There is no need to bring any additional decorations as our castle is decorated perfectly.
We do not allow any balloons, confetti or any decorations to be taped to our pink castle walls please. If you do bring them, you will be asked to keep them in our foyer, as they are a fire hazard for our open vented high ceilings.
Cake / Food
When you book with Fantasy Fables Palace, you may enter 10 minutes before your party to bring in any food, drinks, tableware and get settled. Most clients order pizza, and have it delivered for 45 mins after your party begins. You may bring in your own food and drinks, with the exception of: popcorn, candy, gum, broccoli, seafood (sushi excepted). Please note that we are a nut/peanut free facility.
The facility does not have a kitchen sink, so all serving ware that you bring in, will need to be taken home to be washed there. No heating devices of any kind are to be brought in. We do not have a microwave.
