Kids Party Activities
There is something magical and memorable about going out to celebrate a birthday party or occasion. We are all busy running around, yet we still want to throw an awesome party for our loved ones. Below are a variety of kids party activities for you to check out. If financially you can swing this option, the benefits are fantastic. There is no need to set up the party area, unless you wish to add an extra style or theme to the setting. There is no cleaning on your part. There are employees to help with your guests and your main job is to show up and enjoy.
Bowling
|
Going to the bowling alley is a popular option for kids party activities. You prearrange the party often a couple of months in advance in order to reserve your party place. The guests are given the proper shoes to rent. The alley can have two sizes of balls which you need to decide which works best for your guests. Often you are able to have helper rails put up so that the balls never go into the gutter. There is often food provided and then to finish off the party there is often a gaming arcade that the guests can play and explore. |

The Beach

I love taking my kids to the beach. They can entertain themselves for hours. If this is an option you are considering, first think about the necessities for a party… are there accessible washrooms, places to wash hands, changing areas, stairs, parking, are you able to rent a cabana, etc. Also consider hiring a lifeguard to oversee the swimmers. Ask everyone to show up at the same time, have plenty of food, drinks, sunscreen and activities and this party will be a smashing success. |

This is a teddy bear store that throws parties that each guest gets to make their very own bear, stuff the bear and then pick out an outfit for your bear to wear. This is great for kids party activities, as the guests get to make it their own.

At The Movies
You are able to book a party room at the theater. If you have rented such a room, you are able to decorate it the way you wish to suit the style of the party. You need to prebook this event extra early if you wish to get the party room. Sit back and enjoy the movie.
Paintball
Get the gang together, get suited up and be prepared to enjoy an adventurous activity. Some paintball centers are outdoors with the traditional paintballs that you shoot at each other. Stay alert at all times.
Laser Tag
Similar to the concept of paintball, laser tag is often played inside. You wear a suit that will detect if you have been hit with the laser. You are trying to get through an obstacle course with your allies trying to beat your enemies.
The Circus

This is a party that needs to be timed if you wish to see the circus. The wild animals will tame the soft at heart. Get enough seats for each guest and enter the big top. Let the magic of the circus mesmerize you. |

Go Karts
Round and round we all race. Feel like you are a power formula one racer and put on your helmet. You are about to race off the course with this exciting event.
Batting Cage
With little equipment a batting cage is the perfect setting for a party. Everyone gets to rotate and improve their personal batting average. At some indoor batting cages there are party rooms that you are able to rent as well to host the whole party there with food and other activities.
Mini Golf
This is an activity that can be done inside or outside. Your party guests will be divided into small groups of four or six and then each set off to play their round of golf. Often there are 18 holes to complete. Some golf centers have special days that may offer black lights. Find out beforehand so your guests can dress for the occasion. There is also often a party room available at many facilities.
Camping
There are many ways to do a camping party… camping in tents inside your home, outside in your yard camping in a tent, or tenting or tailoring it at a campsite. Think about your guests and everyone’s ideal comfort setting before settling in on a location. All the fun of camping and related games or campfires makes these kids party activities definitely memorable.
Amusement Park
Talk about a memorable event, going to an amusement party is amazing. You get the passes for the park for all of your guests. Have enough supervisors if the guests are young. Everyone can either stick together or have different points during the day and night to meet up.
Restaurant
Renting a section or a whole restaurant is a really fun option. During the party planning you often discuss the food options as often the restaurant's menu will alter for a private party. There is also often a required minimum for menu orders, and a preset tip (often goes by the number of guests at the event).
Ice Skating
Often there are outdoor rinks that you can attend at your leisure. If it is an inside rink there are often maximum occupancy rates. Check with your local rink as you may need to prebook the event. Make sure each of your guests has skates and a helmet before the party. If they don’t you may consider renting, borrowing or purchasing the needed equipment.
Roller Skating
At a roller skating rink you may be able to reserve a party room or tables that will be dedicated to your party. You may also be able to put in a special shout out to the birthday guest of honor and request their favorite song to be played. Dress up and show off your great moves.
Tobogganing
There are many ways to host your own tobogganing party. You may have your own local hill that everyone goes to. In this case have lots of different toboggans to slide down the hill with and hot chocolate and blankets to have a break. The other option is to go to a tubing hill. Here they supply the tubs that pull you up the hill, like a ski hill, and then you get to slide down. Sometimes there is a party room that you can rent at the lodge.
Skiing or Snowboarding
Being in nature makes for a beautiful backdrop to any party. Rent a table or party room in the lodge. This is great for any guests that need a rest and to hold all of your gear. You are able to rent equipment for any guests that are in need of a rental. You are also able to hire a ski or snowboarding instructor to help teach skills to beginners.
Gymnastics
With many local gymnastics facilities you are able to host a party and have an instructor guiding the party along. They do a combination of gymnastics at the guests level, often a craft and then have a party room for food. This is something that often needs to be booked months in advance.
Museum
You can host the party on your own or rent a party room and have a private guide. When you have a private guide they will also help with organizing the timing of events, crafts, cake and presents.
Sporting Event
Get tickets to your favorite sporting event and let your super fan be wowed at the experience. While watching the event you are able to eat food, and have some fun drinks.
Zoo
Spending the day at the zoo is a fantastic day, so why not have a party there. You are often able to bring in a cooler with food and drinks (check beforehand as all zoos have different policies). There are lots of picnic tables for crafts and breaks, and often a party room that you can rent. See your favorite animals and spend your special day with them.
Arcade
Arcades have come a long way, you don’t need a roll of quarters for your guests, now at most you get a card and prepay a determined amount of money for each to spend. It will be placed onto a card that is then used to activate the games.
Splash Pad
If your guest of honor loves to run and splash in water this might be a fantastic option. Pack a picnic lunch, craft materials, possibly water squirters or water balloons and then secure a picnic table. Double check with rules and regulations in your area. Be especially cautious any time there is water at a party.
Rock Climbing
There are two ways to go rock climbing for a party… outside where all your guests need experience and inside where they need to meet a specific weight requirement. It is always fun to be physically active doing a sporting event that you love.
Hot Air Balloon Ride
This might come down to a numbers thing. If you are only wanting an elite party this might be an option. The day before or morning of, you will often find out the exact location for take off. This is often determined by the weather and wind directions.
Trampoline Park
This is a huge facility that is filled with trampolines. You are able to jump all over the facility. Super fun and your guests will be exhausted after all their jumping. There is often a party room available for rent.
Pumpkin Patch Kids Party Activities
In the fall there is lots of excitement at pumpkin patches. You are often able to tour the patch, go on a wagon ride, see animals and do a corn maze. Many of these farms have figured out how to host the public for fun activities throughout a longer season, some even being open year round.
