6. How much space do I need for a sleepover setup?
Our sleepover tents are approximately 4.5 feet wide and 4 feet tall.
Including the breakfast tray in front of the tent, plan for approximately 6.5 to 7 feet of total length per setup.
Our teepees require a similar amount of floor space and are approximately 5.8 feet tall.
Layouts can often be adjusted depending on the size and shape of your room. We recommend measuring your available space before booking.
If you’re unsure whether your party setup will fit, contact us and we’ll be happy to help you plan the layout.
7. How should I prepare the space before setup?
To help us complete your setup smoothly and efficiently, please:
Clear furniture, toys, and other items from the setup area
Make sure there is enough space for all booked tents and mattresses
Keep pets in a separate area during setup and pickup
Let us know in advance about stairs, elevators, restricted access, parking limitations, or other conditions that may affect delivery
Make sure our team has clear and reasonable access to the setup area
Having the space ready when we arrive helps us keep your setup on schedule.
8. How much space is needed for an outdoor glamping tent?
Our outdoor glamping tent is a 16-foot bell tent with approximately 190 square feet of interior space and a center height of approximately 9 feet.
For proper setup and staking, we recommend a flat, clear outdoor area of at least 25 feet in diameter.
9. Is gratuity included?
No. We do not automatically add a service charge or gratuity.
Tips are completely optional and always appreciated.
10. Do you deliver, set everything up, and take it down?
Yes. For our full-service sleepover packages, KidsDreamFactory NYC handles delivery, setup, styling, and pickup so you can enjoy the celebration.
DIY Sleepover bookings are different: We deliver the party bundle, and you set up and style the sleepover yourself.
Please refer to the individual package details for exactly what is included with your booking.
