What Sets Us Apart from the Competition?

We are the Only Portable Amusement Company in the Greater Chicagoland and Northern Illinois area that has been awarded the OABA’s Circle Of Excellence Designation.  We went through an extensive Self Imposed Quality Assessment audit process in August of 2019  that sets our company apart from the rest.  The OABA’s Circle of excellence program was established to improve the business climate by establishing guidelines and setting the bar with an ambitious vision and set of goals to follow within the industry.  Its purpose is to educate, produce change and in doing so, improve the public perceptions of the mobile amusement industry.  Anyone can be a member of the OABA, anyone can say they’ve passed through an audit process, but NOT everyone measures up to this distinction and award.  We have been a “Circle Of Excellence” Award Recipient since 2009.  Visit OABA.org for more information on the program.  Make sure to check all available references on your amusement providers; you have many choices, and they are NOT All Equal!  Most Important, Make sure you are getting what you were promised!
