Our blog may only be a year old but Pacific Play Tents has been designing imaginative children’s products since 1993, making 2018 our 25th anniversary! A lot has changed since those early days so we thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane and give you a peek into our creative evolution.
After 25 years of growing and evolving to suit our customers’ needs, we are so proud to be recognized as the unsurpassed standard for quality play tents and tunnels. From our all-encompassing core line to our elaborate high end line, we aim to invoke joy into the hearts of children everywhere. It’s been a wonderful journey thus far and we are so excited to keep the fun going for another quarter century!
PRODUCTS
Here’s a look at some of our most popular products, including our tried-and-true Me Too Play Tent, which has been a staple in our catalogs since we first opened up shop in 1993! From the very beginning, we have prided ourselves on creating classic pieces that are not only imaginative but also durable and safe. The quality of our tents and tunnels is evident in our patented, shock-corded, color-coded pole system, and variety of durable and innovative fabrics. As a result of our rigorous design process, our products are perfect for both indoor and outdoor use, thus making them the ideal toys for every season. While trends have come and gone, our high-quality, stylish products continue to withstand the test of time.

PACKAGING
As fashions have changed and the needs of our retailers have shifted, our packaging has undergone a serious style revolution! Everything from our color choices to our type applications to our photography has grown up right alongside our customers.
CATALOGS
When we opened our doors in 1993, our catalogs were mostly filled with primary-colored tents and tunnels. Since then, we have recruited nearly every color of the rainbow as showcased through our striking designs and ever-growing inventory list. At the beginning, we only had one art director for two companies! Over the years, as the company has grown, so has our art department. Now we have many thriving graphic designers contributing to the brand that Pacific Play Tents has evolved into. As you can see from the catalog covers above, our style has grown significantly!
