Creating a Safe Fog Experience for Children’s Events

Using fog machines at children’s events requires extra precautions to ensure safety and comfort. Only non-toxic, pediatric-safe fog fluids should be used, preferably those that are glycerin-based and certified by health authorities. Machines must be placed out of children's reach, with proper ventilation to avoid respiratory irritation. Low-lying fog is preferred to reduce inhalation risks and avoid triggering allergies or asthma. Operators should monitor fluid levels and temperature to prevent overheating. Signage and staff should communicate the presence of fog, and exits must remain clearly visible. Done responsibly, fog effects can add magical, immersive elements to children's parties and shows.
