Go ahead and take the pressure all the way off of yourself by hosting the party at Sky Zone and prepare to dial the birthday fun up to 100. Your not-so-little-one and all their friends will be counting down the days until party time and will be reminiscing about it for weeks to come. Guaranteed.

Pick A Party Size that Works for You

Another trip around the sun means another round of birthday party planning has officially arrived! First, start by deciding what size party you want to have. Does a smaller, more intimate family gathering feel right? Great! Or maybe this is the year to throw a big bash with lots of friends on the guest list. We love it. Or maybe something in between is more your style. At Sky Zone, our parties start at 10 jumpers, so we can help you plan and host just about any party, effortlessly. 

Use a Customizable Invite Template

Once you know what kind of party you want to have and where you want to have it, you can start to make the guest list – and stress is not invited! From friends and family to best buds, watching your kid run around with all their favorite people is always the best. And even better when planning the party is made super simple.
