      Frequently Asked Questions

      An online booking and a $200 non-refundable deposit.


      Let us handle all the details for you! The all-inclusive party allows you to from our list of themes. In addition, you will receive coordinating paper products, two dozen gourmet cupcakes with toppers from Decadent Creations, and a custom balloon bouquet. 


      You may bring dessert and/or snacks to serve at the party. Simple finger foods (apples, cheese and crackers, etc.) are great. We suggest that families do not serve meals at the party (i.e. pizza, etc.) due to the proximity of the play area to the eating area. We have found that the children would much rather play than eat. Alcohol is not allowed.


      For safety reasons, we cannot allow open flames in our facility. This does not apply to birthday candles. 


      Each additional child is $15. The maximum number of guests for a birthday party is 18. Guests are considered children in attendance, ages 2-12.


      The space and the play activities are designed for children ages 3-7, however, it is engaging for all ages! There are small items that are considered a choking hazard for children under the age of 3 years old. Direct parent supervision is required.


      The total rental time is 2 hours. Birthday children and their parents/siblings will have access to the party space 10 minutes prior to the hour. Party guests can arrive on the hour and will be ushered back to the play area following a briefing on the safety guidelines. There is a full 90 minutes of play time. At 30 minutes to the hour children will be invited to sit at the tables for cupcakes and celebration. The last 15 minutes will be reserved for getting shoes on, gathering items, etc. All that said, we are flexible and happy to accommodate individual needs!


      It's helpful to have parents assist their children in returning items back to the area they were found. We will assist you with packing up your things and will handle all of the physical cleaning.
