**Parking
Houdini's Challenge is big (and tall!), so we’ll need ample space to park. It measures just over 25 feet in length and is 10 and a half feet tall. On-street parking is always preferred, but we’ll do our best to park in your driveway if that’s the only option. We scout out your spot using Google Maps and we always appreciate any details you provide when requesting an event. Please note, if the drivers feel the parking situation puts them, the truck/trailer or your property at risk they have the authority to cancel the event – but we hope it never comes to that!
If adequate parking/drive-way/set-up area is not able to accommodate our equipment due to inaccurate description/representation...we will set-up in the next best option or we will refund 50% of the total booking fee and cancel your event.
