At The Party Room for Kids you are paying for a complete party experience in our unique venue with entertainers and staff on hand to manage your every need – you do not lift a finger.
Why are your parties only 1.5 hours?
1.5 hours is the ideal length of time for children to enjoy the excitement of a party as we do pack in an amazing selection of games, activities and thrills. Our birthday format is unique and full on. After 1.5 hours, children’s energy tends to wane and they can get tired, especially under 6YO. However we do offer 2 hour parties which are ideal for the older kids.
Two hour parties will incur an additional charge of $200. So it is $1,198 and the deposit for a 2 hour party is $599.
The price of $998 (1.5 hours) and $1,198 (2 hours) is fixed regardless of how many children (maximum 25). However, your catering can vary depending on the number of kids, adults, cake and food options. We have a wonderful selection of themed cakes and a mouth watering selection of hot and savory food.
