Along with being a lot of fun, kid's birthday parties can be a lot of mess and noise! The next time your child is having a birthday party, why not consider giving yourself a break and hosting it at an indoor play centre. Indoor Play Centres are becoming an increasingly popular choice for kid's birthday party venues. Read on to find out 7 Reasons why you would have your kid's birthday party at a play centre rather than at home.
Firstly, picture this: you start the planning to host your kid's birthday party at home. It is going to be a simple affair, a few balloons, streamers, and some birthday cake and lolly bags. Easy right? Then all of a sudden, your child wants to dress up and theme the house. The backyard is going to get covered in glitter and foam, 10 kids has turned into 100, 5 kids are gluten free, 3 are allergic to nuts, 20 go absolutely crazy on too much sugar and 25 boys are coming (and one you know of has a reputation for drawing on walls)! You don't want to disappoint little Jenny, however things are very quickly spiraling out of control…
Never fear, there is an easy solution. Here are 7 reasons why having your kids birthday party at an indoor play centre is so much easier (and cheaper) than doing it at home.
1. You don't have to clean up the mess! The staff at an indoor play centre will provide all the cutlery, plates, drinks and food to fulfil all your needs (and they are responsible for it at the end of the day!)
2. You are not obliged to make food or provide drinks (for the kids and adults). Let's not forget the planning involved in writing endless shopping lists, dietary considerations, the actual buying of the food, preparing and serving.
3. There is no need to invent any party games or stimulate the kids 24/7. At an indoor play centre you can have access to your own party host who will entertain the kids and the venue is chock full of things to captivate the kid's attention.
4. Everyone is contained in an indoor play centre. There are specific toddler areas that are caged so you know the little ones are safe. This also means you don't have to pack everyone in to a small house. It also doesn't matter what the weather is like, there will be no muddy boots in the house!
5. Most indoor play centres have themed party rooms. These rooms can be where the food is served and afterwards, kids can burn off energy having fun afterwards in the play centre. Themed party rooms are already decorated, so you can save time and money by not having to buy decorations and dress up your own home.
6. Adults can sit in the play centre's café and enjoy a coffee, sandwich and catch up whilst their kids have fun. You don't even have to make the coffee or wash the dishes! Indoor Play Centres give adults permission to have fun too. You can be free of the burden of always being mum or playing host and hand it over to a team of professional staff and caterers.
7. Most indoor play centres will allow you to bring your own cake and lolly bags, however you don't even have to do this! The café can supply cake and lolly or gift bags for the kids to take home. How cool is that?
Often kids birthday party ideas start out as simple affairs and turn into huge, out of control events. Once the wheels are in motion it can be hard to stop them. The next time your child is having a birthday party, why not have it at an indoor play centre. The energy it takes to buy and prep food, decorate, entertain the kids and then clean up all the mess, can be redirected and channelled into having a fun filled event at a play centre where you can wipe your hands clean of almost all of the responsibility (well, except taking your kids home when it's all over!).
