The Champion of Kids Birthday Party Venues Is Here

Your birthday kid changed your world. Now it’s time for their moment in the spotlight. A birthday is a big deal for both kids and parents and when choosing between kids birthday party venues, one spot stands out from the crowd: Sky Zone. Sky Zone is one of the ultimate birthday party venues because there truly is a celebration for every kid, from toddlers who just love to bounce around to aspiring athletes and astronauts. And the best part? It’s so easy to plan the perfect party thanks to our thoughtful party packages complete with everything you’ll ever need, plus a dedicated party host to help you handle the big and small stuff. Seriously, party planning has never been so easy — or so fun! 

A birthday celebration should be fun for the child and their friends, but it should also be a good time for parents. Unlike other party venues, Sky Zone takes a ton of that party-planning stress off your plate to ensure that everyone is having the best day ever, Mom, Dad, little siblings, and grandparents included. 

If you’re currently planning a party and thinking about the best kids birthday party venues, you know the search can be overwhelming — to say the very least. The laundry list of pre-party questions never ends: Who should you invite? Which party venues would be best? What’s the theme, and what food will you serve? How will you keep a whole crew of kids entertained for several hours without destroying your home? Do you need to plan games and party favors? What will be best for your child, and less stressful for you? What if it rains? At Sky Zone, you don’t have to worry about inclement weather ruining your outdoor party or frosting smeared in your carpet! 

Sky Zone has become the champion of kids birthday party venues because there’s so much to do. It’s a place where kids can unleash their imagination, work off some of that endless energy, practice new skills, challenge themselves and most importantly, have fun. And what better time to do all of that fun stuff than on your birthday? 

There are so many reasons why Sky Zone puts all other popular party venues to shame. Below, learn all about birthday celebrations at Sky Zone, including party packages, the perks of a designated party host and special party perks you won’t find at other kids birthday party venues. Other kids birthday party venues could only dream of being this cool.

Why You Should Choose Sky Zone Over Other Party Venues

As a parent, planning a birthday celebration can be a ton of fun — but it can also be a ton of stress. There’s a lot to coordinate, like compiling a guest list and sending invites, figuring out activities and keeping the action going throughout the day, not to mention coordinating food, snacks, gift bags and a cake. It takes a real pro to entertain ten 10-year-olds, but don’t worry, we’ve got your back. At Sky Zone, we go above and beyond other kids birthday party venues by offering a dedicated party host to help you plan the perfect party.

Here’s how it works, and why all the other birthday party venues are jealous; unlike those party venues, which offer a one-and-done approach, Sky Zone offers several different party packages to suit your needs and budget. Depending on where you live, you’ll choose between several party packages. For example, the Basic Party Package gets you two hours of play time and basic party essentials, while the Epic Party Package gives you two hours of play time, party essentials and food. The Mega VIP Party Package takes party time to the next level with three hours of fun, plus food and party essentials. You can also add special add-ons or fully customize your party; your host will work with you to create the most special, exciting party for your birthday kid. Prices may vary by location, so find the kids birthday party venues near you here. 

If you’re a Sky Zone Elite Member, you’ll be treated to exclusive savings on birthday party celebrations, including 10% off party packages. You can also save on parties if you book a celebration between Monday and Thursday; there are definitely perks of a weekday celebration, especially in the summer! 

When you book a birthday party at a Sky Zone location near you, you’ll be assigned an event host. This individual will work closely with you to plan the ultimate day of fun and excitement. You send the invites, and they’ll take care of the rest, including set-up and clean-up. Yes, you read that right; unlike other kids birthday party venues, your party host will set up and decorate your designated party space, as well as handle the clean-up, so you don’t have to spend your precious time picking up wrapping paper and candy wrappers. You’ll have more time to spend with your child and their friends and family, and maybe even get in on the party action yourself. Adults are able to join in the fun as long as they’re added to the guest list, so if Grandma wants to get her jump on, make sure she’s on the list! 

Birthday party venues are where the best family memories are made, and Sky Zone wants you to enjoy the moment, not stress about keeping everyone entertained. The party host also makes sure attendees are having a good time by moving the party along; they’ll jump in when needed to gather children for food or presents, as well as make sure everyone is following the rules. (Of course, parents need to make sure all guests are aware of Sky Zone’s rules before the party begins.) When jump time is over, the host will keep the crew moving on to their next activity — like pizza and cake!

Birthday Party Essentials: What You Need to Throw the Best Bash Ever

You’ve chosen your party package and connected with the party host. Your child has given you a guest list. Now it’s time to make sure they have the time of their life at Sky Zone. Here are a few things every great party needs; work on them as a family or get your party host involved where it’s appropriate!

1. 1. Invites. Does your party have a theme? (More on that below.) If so, create cute, colorful invites to let guests know you’ll be soaring like astronauts or jumping and leaping like lions and tigers. Be sure to send them out a few weeks in advance so parents can save the date and plan their day. Physical or digital invites both work well. Sky Zone also provides invites, so if you’re strapped for time, let us take that off your to-do list too! 
   2. A playlist. Why not jam out to your child’s favorite songs while you enjoy birthday snacks and cake in your private room? If your party has a theme, consider creating a special on-theme list to set the mood.
   3. Fun decor. Don’t worry — you don’t have to purchase a bunch of party supplies for one party only. We’ll take that off your plate and do the work for you! Sky Zone offers a variety of fun decor options for the celebration, including tablecloths, napkins and plates. We typically don’t allow temporary fixtures in our party rooms or walls, but you can bring fun decor of your own; just make sure to bring wall putty for anything you want to hang. (Just FYI: We don’t allow glitter, confetti, and piñatas.)
   4. Delicious treats. After all that jumping and playing, kids need time to refuel. Let Sky Zone take care of food and drinks during the party; it’s one less thing for you to worry about. What kid doesn’t love a yummy slice of pizza or two? Outside food and beverages are typically not allowed, but you can definitely discuss your ideas when you’re booking for with your party host to see what’s possible.
   5. Comfy clothes. Make sure guests know they’ll be moving around all day, so they should dress accordingly. Comfy, breathable clothes are key! Long-haired guests may want to tie their hair back; consider adding cute hair ties to your goodie bags to make a quick change a total cinch.
   6. SkySocks. These colorful socks aren’t just fun and stylin’, they’re the key to a day of fun at Sky Zone. All jumpers must wear a pair of socks to participate, so make sure to remind the partygoers to keep their socks on while exploring Sky Zone and wear shoes that are easy to slip on and off.

A Party for Every Kid: Party Ideas for Your Special Superstar

Unlike other kids birthday party venues that have a single purpose, like bowling or swimming, there’s truly no limit to fun at Sky Zone. No two children are exactly alike, and when the spotlight is on your birthday superstar, you want to highlight the things they truly love. Ahead, we’ve rounded up some fun party activities and theme ideas for a celebration that is totally unique to your child. (Activities may vary by location, so if you’re curious about a certain Sky Zone feature, give your local park a call.) These fun activities aren’t limited to birthday party time; you can enjoy them any time you visit Sky Zone. 

For aspiring athletes:

If your child is constantly shooting hoops, watching football games or turning your basement into a soccer field or hockey rink, let them practice their skills on the Air Court. Kids can play basketball, volleyball, soccer, dodgeball or touch football on the springy, air-filled court. Or head to the Sky Slam, a bouncy basketball court with hoops of all different heights so your future NBA star can practice their jump shot and slam dunk. Give out party favors like water bottles, whistles and mini balls for guests to take home after the big bash.

For science-loving explorers:

A trip to the museum is always fun, but birthday party venues like Sky Zone give science-loving kids the chance to learn about gravity and physics in a whole new way. If your child is fascinated by the galaxies, consider a space-themed party and come up with fun activities for a crew of little astronauts. Check out our guide to the best trampoline party souvenirs for inspiration for post-party treats.

For action-loving adventurers:

Does your child need a loving reminder not to use the couch as a launchpad? Do you sometimes catch them trying to climb the walls, or making obstacle courses out of the dining room furniture? Party venues like Sky Zone are the ultimate spot for these high-energy kids who love a challenge. They can fly through the air on the ZipLine, take on the Ninja Warrior Course and put their skills to the test, take on new heights with the FreeClimb climbing wall or do a dramatic leap off the Drop Zone.

For team play:

Kids love playing as a team and learning about the power of teamwork, and there’s no place like Sky Zone for an epic game of Ultimate Dodgeball. This twist on classic dodgeball takes away gravity and amps up the excitement as players jump, soar and leap to dodge and throw the ball. 

For powerful princes and princesses:

Sky Zone is one of the best party venues for kids who love princesses, unicorns and fairy tales. Put their imaginations to work and let them come up with pretend games and storylines, as though they’re flying on a winged horse through a kingdom in the sky. (Freestyle Jump is the perfect setting for such a storyline.) Or, pretend to be knights in shining armor at battle on the Sky Joust, a gladiator-style battle with inflatable pedestals. 

For younger kids:

Toddlers and preschoolers can celebrate just like the big kids! Though other birthday party venues only offer activities for older kids, Sky Zone is all about fun for all ages! The Toddler Zone is where younger children can explore, play and bounce around safely. Little ones also love the Foam Zone, where they can work up the courage to leap into a pile of soft, fluffy foam. 

Why You Should Host a Birthday Party at Sky Zone

Maybe you’ve attended several Sky Zone parties in the past and loved the experience, or your child is begging you to throw their next b-day bash at your local park. Maybe you want to keep active kids out of the house and off screens and give them space to bounce off that energy, or your child’s birthday falls during the winter and you need an indoor option. The answer is clear; Sky Zone! No matter what you’re looking for — a cute gathering for busy toddlers or an action-packed adventure for older kids — Sky Zone is the ultimate spot for birthday party fun, and all other kids birthday party venues are jealous!
