Kids’ and Teen Birthday Parties in Marrakech: Entertainment to Rent by Age
For kids’ birthday party entertainment in Marrakech, the easiest rentals are the ones Rentall’s own product pages describe as suitable for children: the NBA basketball hoop (height adjustable from 2.10 m to 3.05 m), the arcade machine (over 15,000 games, “for all ages”), the René Pierre foosball table and the pinball machine. For a teen birthday, add the virtual reality simulator (players from 1.55 m to 2.00 m tall) or the 360° photo booth.
This guide helps you choose by your guests’ age and height, by the space you have at home, in a villa or in a hall, and by budget. For venues, caterers and party themes, see our guide to planning a birthday in Marrakech.
Key takeaways
- Younger kids: the basketball hoop lowered to 2.10 m, the arcade machine, the pinball machine and the foosball table are all described as child-friendly on their product pages.
- Teens: the VR simulator takes players from 1.55 m to 2.00 m tall (130 kg max); below 1.55 m, the team checks compatibility before you book.
- Games cost from 1,200 MAD a day (hoop, foosball, pinball) to 2,500 MAD (VR), plus a refundable deposit; the 360° photo booth (1,900 MAD) and the guest book (4,200 MAD) need no deposit and come with a dedicated attendant.
- Delivery, setup and collection are handled in Marrakech; keep clear space around each game and have an adult supervising the children.

What entertainment should you rent for a kid’s birthday in Marrakech?
A great kids’ party usually comes down to one thing: giving the children something to do together while the grown-ups chat. The games Rentall rents out in Marrakech do exactly that: the pinball machine, for instance, needs no explanation according to its product page, and the foosball table and arcade machine are played in pairs or as a tournament, in small groups.
Your starting point is the children’s age, and above all their height. Some product pages are explicit: the basketball hoop is made for “kids & adults”, and the arcade machine for guests “young and old”. Others set a limit: the virtual reality simulator is designed for users between 1.55 m and 2.00 m tall. The selection below is based on those details, and nothing else.
The table sums up the seven rentals, with the daily prices and deposits shown on each product page and the space you will need.
| Rental | Who it suits (per the product page) | Price / day | Deposit | Space needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NBA basketball hoop | Kids & adults (2.10 m to 3.05 m) | 1,200 MAD | 2,100 MAD | 145 × 77 cm base on 6 wheels |
| Arcade machine | All ages, young and old | 1,500 MAD | 4,800 MAD | 69 × 56 cm + 1.5 to 2 m² clear |
| René Pierre foosball table | All ages | 1,200 MAD | 2,300 MAD | Approx. 155 × 105 cm + 3 to 4 m² clear |
| Pinball machine | Children, adults and seniors | 1,200 MAD | 4,800 MAD | 71 × 140 cm + 2 to 3 m² clear |
| KAT Walk VR simulator | Players 1.55 m to 2.00 m tall, 130 kg max | 2,500 MAD | 2,000 MAD | ~1.2 m² + 3 to 4 m² clear |
| 360° photo booth | Up to 4 people / 300 kg on the platform | 1,900 MAD | No deposit (dedicated attendant) | 100 cm diameter platform |
| Audio & video guest book | Easy for every guest | 4,200 MAD | No deposit (dedicated attendant) | Depends on the model |
For younger children: games that adjust to their size
The NBA basketball hoop, lowered to 2.10 m
This is the rental Rentall’s product page most clearly recommends for a child’s birthday: “by lowering the hoop to 2.10 m, the youngest can play easily and safely.” The height adjusts manually up to 3.05 m, which the page describes as the height for “experienced adults”.
A few technical details matter when kids are playing. The 45 cm rim has a flex system that absorbs impacts, and the offset backboard leaves a safer space under the basket. The base can be weighted (about 80 kg unweighted, 190 kg weighted) so it stays steady during play.
One practical point: the hoop comes with its structure, but basketballs are not listed as included. The product page asks you to contact the team if you would like to add balls based on the number of players. The NBA basketball hoop BOX rents for 1,200 MAD per day, with a refundable 2,100 MAD deposit.
The arcade machine: 15,000+ games, from easy to tough
The arcade machine’s product page calls it entertainment that brings every generation together. Parents rediscover the classics of their own childhood, and younger players discover retro gaming. The 15,000+ preinstalled games include fighting, platform, sports, puzzle and classic arcade titles, covering, in the page’s words, “all difficulty levels”.
A common-sense tip for young children: pick out a few platform, sports or puzzle games with them before the guests arrive, rather than leaving them to scroll through such a huge catalogue alone. Fighting games tend to go down better with older kids.
For setup, the machine measures 69 × 56 × 169 cm, runs fully offline (no Wi-Fi needed) and plugs into a standard 220V socket. Allow about 1.5 to 2 m² of clear space around it. The arcade machine rental costs 1,500 MAD per day, with a refundable 4,800 MAD deposit.
Pinball and foosball: classics that bring everyone together
The pinball product page is clear: “children, adults and seniors play with the same enthusiasm”, and its interface needs no explanation. It takes 1 to 4 players and comes with 4 steel balls. No attendant is needed during the event.
The René Pierre foosball table is described as friendly, competitive entertainment for all ages. It is fully mechanical and needs no power, so you can place it anywhere indoors or under cover. Balls are included. The professional pinball machine and the René Pierre foosball table each rent for 1,200 MAD per day, with deposits of 4,800 MAD and 2,300 MAD respectively.
For older kids and teens: challenges, VR and videos to share
As children get older, a birthday is more about the challenge and what they can show their friends afterwards. The product pages don’t set any age, but two things help you choose: your guests’ height for virtual reality, and how competitive the group is.
The virtual reality simulator: it’s about height, not age
The simulator pairs the KAT Walk omnidirectional treadmill with a wireless Pico headset. Players walk, run, crouch or jump inside 360° worlds. The product page lists fantasy worlds, wild jungles, futuristic spaces, epic battles, zen experiences and sports simulations, and notes that several people can take turns throughout the event.
The VR simulator is designed for users between 1.55 m and 2.00 m tall, weighing up to 130 kg. For children under 1.55 m, the product page asks you to contact the team to check compatibility before booking. It is therefore mainly for teens and older kids, with younger children assessed case by case.
A Rentall attendant is on site to guide players. The product page also notes that some sensitive people may feel slight discomfort in the first few minutes, and that the attendant can adapt sessions. The KAT Walk virtual reality simulator rents for 2,500 MAD per day, with a refundable 2,000 MAD deposit. It takes up about 1.2 m² of floor space, plus 3 to 4 m² of clear space around it.
Foosball, basketball or arcade high-score tournaments
Teens love a leaderboard. The foosball and arcade product pages both suggest running a tournament. On the foosball table, play singles or doubles with the built-in metal score counters. On the arcade machine, run a high-score challenge with fighting, sports or shoot ’em up games.
With the basketball hoop, you can raise the rim step by step towards 3.05 m during the afternoon to make things harder. A free-throw contest or a one-minute shooting challenge needs no extra kit apart from the balls. Put up a scoreboard on paper or a whiteboard: it is often what keeps the game going.
The 360° photo booth: the video everyone will want
On a 100 cm round platform, up to 4 people (300 kg max) strike a pose for a 360° video, on a reinforced steel structure with an anti-vibration system. Guests choose a 360° video with or without slow motion, and the dedicated app optimises the videos for social media (Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Facebook).
For a birthday, personalisation is a real plus. According to the product page, the frame can be customised with names, the event date or a theme. The booth is run by a dedicated Rentall attendant and needs no deposit. The 360° photo booth rental costs 1,900 MAD per day. When it comes to sharing, it is up to the parents to decide what gets posted or sent to other families.
The guest book: messages from friends and family
The audio and video guest book replaces the paper one: each guest records a message in a few seconds. The heart model’s product page says the interface is designed to be easy for everyone, “whether a child, a senior or someone not comfortable with technology”. You simply pick up the handset like a phone.
After the event, Rentall hands over all the audio and video files in digital, edited form. For grandparents who live far away, or for the birthday child listening back years later, it is a lasting keepsake. The audio & video guest book and the illuminated heart guest book rent for 4,200 MAD per day with no deposit: a dedicated attendant runs the device and welcomes guests.
At home, in a villa or in a hall: match the choice to the space
At home or in an apartment
Space is the first constraint. The product pages give useful guidelines: 1.5 to 2 m² of clear space around the arcade machine, 2 to 3 m² around the pinball machine, and 3 to 4 m² around the foosball table so the telescopic rods can slide freely. The foosball table weighs about 73 kg and the pinball machine about 120 kg, so mention any stairs or narrow access when you enquire.
The arcade and pinball machines plug into a standard 220V socket; the foosball table needs no socket at all. In a living room, an arcade machine plus a foosball table already makes a complete games corner without taking over the whole room.
In a villa with a garden
A villa lets you split the atmosphere: quieter games inside, sporty challenges outside. Keep in mind that the product pages for the arcade machine, pinball machine, foosball table and VR simulator recommend using them indoors or under cover, away from direct heat, humidity and bad weather. For an outdoor party, the arcade, foosball and VR pages say a tent or covered area is enough; for the pinball machine, the team first looks at your venue’s layout.
The basketball hoop rolls easily on its 6 large wheels over different surfaces, and its product page lists villas, hotels and schools among its uses. The 360° photo booth can be used outdoors “provided the space is suitable and secure”, and the team will advise you based on your venue. If the villa has a pool, keep the electrical games well away from the water and have an adult watching the area while children play.
In a party hall
A hall gives you floor space but sometimes few sockets. Check with the venue manager where the sockets are for the arcade and pinball machines (a standard 220V socket, according to their product pages), and ask the team what the VR simulator needs. Line the games up along a wall with a clear walkway between them, and keep the 360° photo booth in an open area where waiting children stay back from the platform.
Safety: good habits for a children’s party
Rentall’s team installs the equipment and, for the arcade and pinball machines for example, checks that everything works before the event, but a kids’ party is still a kids’ party. A few common-sense rules prevent most small mishaps:
- one adult in charge of each play area, especially around the basketball hoop and the foosball table;
- clear space around each game, with no glasses or plates resting on the equipment;
- power cables run along the walls, away from walkways;
- a clear turn-taking system (sand timer, waiting list) to avoid pushing and shoving at the arcade or the simulator;
- for VR, sticking to the stated height range and following the on-site attendant’s advice.
Think about drinks and sticky hands too: a sink or some wipes near the games keeps joysticks and handles clean for everyone.
Before you book: pros and limits
The pros:
- delivery, setup and collection handled by Rentall in Marrakech for every rental;
- ready-to-play games: arcade accessories included, foosball balls included, 4 balls for the pinball machine;
- a dedicated attendant for the 360° photo booth and the guest book, and an on-site attendant to guide VR players;
- you can combine several rentals and ask for a custom bundled quote, as the product pages suggest.
The limits:
- the VR simulator is only designed for players 1.55 m to 2.00 m tall (130 kg max);
- basketballs are not listed as included, so ask for them;
- the arcade machine, pinball machine, foosball table and VR simulator go indoors or under cover;
- the pinball machine weighs about 120 kg and the foosball table about 73 kg, so the venue access needs to allow for that;
- games require a refundable deposit (from 2,000 to 4,800 MAD depending on the item).
Three combinations by age and budget
Here are three combinations built solely from the daily prices on the product pages. They give you a ballpark figure; the final quote depends on your date, venue and options.
Little ones’ party at home: basketball hoop (lowered to 2.10 m) and foosball table, for 2,400 MAD per day, with 4,400 MAD in refundable deposits. The foosball table needs no socket, and the hoop moves on its wheels.
Retro games room for the whole family: arcade machine, pinball machine and foosball table, for 3,900 MAD per day, with 11,900 MAD in refundable deposits. All three product pages describe them as entertainment for all ages.
Teen birthday: VR simulator, arcade machine and 360° photo booth, for 5,900 MAD per day, with 6,800 MAD in deposits (the photo booth needs none). Check that guests are at least 1.55 m tall for the VR.

Booking your birthday party entertainment
You can book through the website form or by phone. Give the date, venue and type of event; for the VR simulator, also give the estimated number of players. Mention the children’s ages and approximate heights: for the VR simulator in particular, that is what lets the team check compatibility before booking.
The product pages recommend booking ahead, especially for weekends and, for the basketball hoop, school holidays. The simplest way is to write to us through the Rentall contact page with the list of rentals you are interested in, and the team will come back to you with availability and a quote.
