How to Throw Original Kids Parties

Throwing original kids parties these days can be tough. There are many different ideas for kids parties on the internet and going to 'another' children's birthday party can sadly often feel like a chore.

Can you remember a time when you went to a child's birthday party that was just plain boring? What was it that turned you off? Was it the tired old streamers and balloons hanging on the wall? Or was it because only half the people turned up in costume? Were the guests rude or the kids really noisy or was there just that uncomfortable silence that seems to go on forever? What did the food taste like? Was it healthy and delicious or full of sugar and carbohydrates? Did you walk away feeling like that was three hours of torture?

Like most parents, I bet you want your guests to have a good time and not feel that way. And I am sure too that you want your party to be one that your guests will not cringe when they remember. Well, it is time to put your worries aside and be confident in knowing that you can throw kids parties that your children and guests will never want to forget!

At Dizzy's Castle Indoor Play Centre we have a huge choice of themed kids parties from you to choose from that will give your party that original twist and take the worries of the big day out of your hands.

Rest assured that you will create a children's birthday party that your guests will rave on about for months! Picture walking into a HUGE medieval themed castle, where inside you will be greeted by friendly staff and shown to your very own party room. Imagine dressing up as a pirate and celebrating your kids party in a pirate room, complete with pirate ship and skull and cross bones. Or, hosting a spooky party in a witches and wizards lair where goblins and witches fly around on brooms! What about enjoying a kids' karaoke party in a disco diva room with mirror ball, dancing stage and microphones? Picture your child and his or her friends wearing fairy wings and celebrating the day in an enchanted forest party room. Or, if you want something a little more refined, then have your guests dress up like kings and queens, princes and princesses and honour the day in our royal room!

Any one of these rooms could be yours and after the staff delivers the party food that you can choose, from a wide range of yummy, healthy treats and once the cake is cut, the kids can run around the whole play centre for the rest of the day. They can burn off energy and steam sliding down our 7 slides and obstacle course. They can jump wildly on our safety trampolines or play a game of glow in the dark mini golf! The toddlers can enjoy our toddler area, with ball pit, toys and magic jumping castle, whilst the adults enjoy a coffee in the party room or our gourmet cafe area.

Dizzy's Castle has themed kids parties ranging from big, explosive affairs with one of our junior chef cooking parties or spells and potions parties, to a more tame day with our intimate cafe party. If you are sick and tired of attending kids parties that as soon as you turn up, you want to go home, then you have found the right place at Dizzy's Castle Indoor Play Centre. Our party packs will delight and surprise both you and your guests. Be the talk of the town and host your next children's birthday party at Dizzy's Castle.

Why Children's Play Groups Are Essential for the Wellbeing of Both Parents & Children

Children's Play Groups offer a huge number of benefits for families and the wider community. In fact, at Dizzy's Castle kids indoor play centre we believe they are essential for the wellbeing of both parents and children. A recent article in the Melbourne Leader reported that the Yarra Council is expected to more than triple its annual playgroup funding. Council research has estimated that the number of Yarra Children aged four and under is anticipated to increase by 5% over the next five years, hence the need to invest now in more play groups for parents and children.

Raising young children can be a very vulnerable time for a mother's life when she is isolated with young kids. Children's Play Groups offer support for parents, giving them the chance to make new friends, along with providing both social and informal networking opportunities.

Dizzy's Castle has set up a new play groups program at our kids indoor play centre in Maribyrnong Victoria. Both parents and children can reap massive benefits. For kids, they can make new friends, explore, discover and stimulate the senses, along with developing fine and gross motor skills. Play Centres are a really fun way for kids to get fit, whilst at the same time help them develop emotional, social and communication skills. Just as kids can reach out and build self confidence in a safe and secure environment, so too can parents, who can seek advice or a listening ear from other mothers and fathers. Importantly, kids indoor play centres are a wonderful place to just relax and spend quality time with your kids.

Looking for kids birthday party venues? A cafe party at a childs play centre is an economical option.

If you are looking for kids birthday party venues, then consider having it at a childs play centre. One of the most economical solutions that Dizzy's Castle offers is a kids' cafe party. You can book a table in our play centre's cafe area for only $20. The table is all set up with party plates, napkins and cups and all you need to do is order food and drink separately.

Adults can order larger food platters like antipasto and dips and kick back and relax whilst the kids run around and have fun.
