10 Unique Places to Have a Kids Party

Unique Places to Have a Kids Party

Looking for unique places to have a kids party? 🎂 There are tons of places to consider outside of one’s own home. Many aren’t even designed for children, but can host an unforgettable birthday party experience! Below is a collection of unique venues to get your creative juices flowing.

1. Your Best Friend’s Place

This is one of the best places to have a kids party. Why? It checks two boxes: it’s not your home✅ and it is budget friendly✅. Your friend might have more space to offer and your child might feel more comfortable in a familiar space. Plan your activities accordingly (like skip out on the outdoor fun if it looks like it’s going to rain), whip up your child’s favorite meal and throw in some cake and ice cream! Your child is sure to have a blast! Just don’t forget to take pictures📲

2. A Bowling Alley

Almost every city has one or more of these but you can add a twist to the classic game by having a glow bowling party. Many times bowling alleys get overlooked for more heavily advertised options but kids enjoy doing fun things, especially when it’s not something they can do every day. Some locations have even turned into family fun centers where they have incorporated mini golf, arcade games and laser tag. You can usually get a pretty good deal on a children’s party there too, depending on the number of people attending. 

3. The Local Craft Store

Bet you didn’t think a craft store would top our list as one of the places to have a kids party. Turns out, some craft stores allow kids birthday parties. Call around to see if your local ones participate. They don’t charge as much as a recreational center and the rooms are usually spacious! Plus, they may add in a fun craft your guests and birthday child can make together. On top of the goody bags, the children are all sure to have fun!

4. Ice Rinks

Often forgotten when party planning, ice rinks are great places to have a kids party. For one thing, you can house a lot more guests than a smaller venue, plus you have a way for the kiddos to burn off all of that excess energy! Some venues will even offer packages that incorporate additional activities for the kids.

5. Gymnastics Facility

Not usually the first option selected on the list, gymnastics facilities are great places to have a kids party. What could be more fun than a balance beam, trampoline and foam pit?! Many will offer a party coach and some even offer optional upgrades like a bounce house. The kids will love flipping, tumbling and flying through the air. 

6. Scope Out the Zoo

Other unique places to have a kids party include renting a community room at the zoo. It can be outdoors or indoors depending on what the facility allows. Just be sure to plan in advance in case of rain. The children will adore seeing all of the fun zoo attractions and everyone can share in cake and ice cream afterward!

7. Mobile Zoo

If you want to stay in the comfort of your own backyard, you might want to consider a mobile zoo, where animals are brought to your specific location for a party event. Llamas, pigs and ponies are some of many you can choose from. It’s not a cheap option, but visiting animals can be a wonderful experience for children of any age!

8. Art Museum

Reach out to your local art museum to find out if they offer birthday parties for kids. Their offerings may surprise you–a scavenger hunt, a pottery party, painting on a canvas, just to name a few.

9. Dance Studio

Whether you host a ballet party in your home or head to a dance studio for a salsa dancing birthday party, your guests will be captivated by the music and their new dance moves! The teacher will guide the guests through the dance class, so you can sit back, relax, and take tons of photos.📸

10. Go Kart Track

Does your child have the need for speed? If so, a go kart cart is one of the perfect places to have a kids party. Some offer 2-seater go karts, perfect for you and your toddler. Toss your fears aside, let the wind blow through your hair and enjoy watching your little one have the time of their life.
