Ben's Balloon Animals

Ben's Balloon Animals, Doylestown PA

WINNER, Best Children's Party

FINALIST, Best Entertainer 

5105 Harmony Ct W, Doylestown, PA 18902 / 267-472-3317 / benrichlin@gmail.com  / m.facebook.com/Bensballoonanimals/

It all started when I was 12 and looking for a way to earn money, which is when the idea of balloon twisting came up.  When my Mom was in College she dated a lawyer who was a clown on the side (We can’t say it with a straight face either!), and from him, she learned the very basics.  Later in life, she taught me what she knew, and I attended National Conventions for formal balloon twisting instruction.  And as we like to say, it “ballooned” from there!

3 years later I have been fortunate enough to twist in a lot of amazing places and meet even more amazing kids and parents!  I really love balloon twisting and there truly is no better feeling than watching something that I was able to create bring so much joy to so many people!
