A note about bunny time: Bunny visits are offered when the rabbit is comfortable and the setting is suitable. Occasionally the bunny may need a quiet break, so this part of the visit may be shortened or unavailable on the day.

Birthday package guide

Approximate package prices by location.

Each price combines the selected birthday show with an approximate travel charge from Jimmy's Gore base. Town estimates are rounded up to the nearest $5 to help with planning. Your exact total is calculated from the venue address when booking.

Celebrations over 40 guests

For birthdays with more than 40 people attending, an adjusted price may apply. Jimmy will confirm this with you before the booking is finalised.

Some venue styles

Dinner or buffet functions and some larger event-centre bookings may need a tailored price. Indoor play-centre birthdays can still use this guide unless another booking detail changes the quote.

Outdoor birthday plans

The customer is responsible for providing a suitable venue and an indoor backup. If weather prevents an outdoor event from proceeding, the booking is not refundable.

More than watching

Children become part of the magic.

Jimmy’s shows combine comedy, classic illusions and genuine surprise. Options can include a magically appearing bunny, floating-child illusion and balloon twisting.

Premium birthday workshop upgrade

The party ends. Their magic goes home.

After the show, children learn a beginner-friendly trick, practise presenting it and take their own magic home. It changes a birthday audience into a room full of young magicians.
