Birthday Parties FAQ

  •  The party is structured with 2 activities running for 45 minutes each.
    At the start of the party time as the guests arrive, the coaches will take the kids out onto the floor to warm-up. This will allow time for guests arriving.
    Guests however are welcome to join in at any time of the party time.

  • We host parties for age 4yrs and up, however for parties with kids turning 4yrs (and sometimes 5yrs if a majority of the guests will only be 4yrs old), then the younger package will need to be purchased as an extra coach is needed for these parties, as younger kids need a little more assistance.

    If you are booking for older parties, but have a kids younger then the party child (example the birthday kid is turning 7, and there are 4 year olds) then they are welcome to attend but they must be part of the party, they cannot free play in the gym due to safety reasons.  

    If you would like to host a birthday party for any younger ages please contact us and we can provide more information on possibly arranging this. 

  • Yes. We cater all our activities based off the age of the birthday kid. If there is any major age differences in the party please let us know and we can advise the best advice for your party.

  • Yes, we have safety googles for the kids who do Nerf Battles as an activity.
    We advise this activity is more suited for kids 6yrs and up as younger it can be a struggle for them to use the guns.

  • If you have booked the Gems Room then a table in the cafe will be reserved for you for the duration of the party where parents are welcome to stay. Parents are welcome to watch the kids do the activities, however if they have food or drinks including coffee, they cannot go onto the floor.
    If the VIP room is booked parents are welcome in here for the entire duration of the party.

  • If you have booked the Gems room then the kids will not access the room until the last 30 minutes of your party. If you wish to put decorations in the room, you are welcome to do so roughly 15 minutes before this (45 minutes before the end of the party), but this is not guaranteed due to timings of party.
    If you booked the VIP room it may be possible to get into the room 10-15 minutes before the start of your party, but this not guaranteed due to run times of the day, and if there is a party beforehand. You will have access for all the party time booked.

  • An automatic email will be sent 2 weeks before you party asking for the activities, number of children and catering to be confirmed. This must be confirmed this week, with the latest time for confirmation being before the Monday your party.

    Please note: this information helps with food ordering based on numbers and catering so it is important this is confirmed beforehand.

  • No, the kids will be asked to take their shoes off on arrival.

    We ask for socks off as we find they fall off in the foam pit and get lost, but can be kept on if prefered.

    We do also sell grip socks for $10 on site.

  • No unfortunately, due to other party running throughout the day this is not possible, and kids cannot go onto the equipment unsupervised without a coach for safety reasons.

  • No unfortunately, due to the timing of the party it is not possible to bring a piñata, or other party activities.

  • This is sometimes possible, it does just depend on the amount of notice given and if the number added does not differ too much to the original confirmed number, as an extra coach may be needed for a large number kids.

    Please note, if we are not informed for extra children attending the party, then during food time there may not be enough food (especially regarding the kids meals) as we only make a number of meals to the confirmed number of children. Notice is needed to add and cook extra meals and the extra charges for food and children does need to be charged.
