Question 9

What are the play area rules?

Accepted Answer

Shoes off in the play zone. Grippy socks must be worn at all times. Food and drinks stay in the lobby or party room. Parents should supervise their children — no rough housing, and please share and take turns on equipment. At the rock wall, kids should climb up and back down to the red line before jumping off.

Accepted Answer

You get the party room and full playroom access for 2 hours, entry for 10 kids with grippy socks included, plus a tablecloth, plates, cups, and utensils. The party room has two picnic tables, a presents table, and a food table. Need an extra table? Just let us know!

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking 4–6 weeks ahead, especially for popular dates. Last-minute bookings may be possible depending on availability. A $100 deposit is required to reserve your spot.

Question 13

What’s the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Deposits are non-refundable but are transferable to a different date. Parties can be rescheduled with at least 7 days’ notice. If something comes up last minute, give us a call and we'll do what we can. If fewer than 10 kids show up, the base package rate still applies.

Question 14

Can I bring my own food and drinks?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You're welcome to bring cake, desserts, prepackaged snacks, sides, and drinks. However, outside catered food is not allowed. For pizza, we partner with Old Chicago’s Pizza — we'll order it for you and have it delivered in time for the party. That's a separate fee.

Yes, all kids need a waiver signed by an adult 18 or older. There’s a QR code by the party room so guests can fill it out on their phones as they arrive. Easy!

Your party host helps with setup, keeps things running smoothly, handles cleanup, and assists with payment for the party balance and any pizza orders. They’re there so you can focus on enjoying the party!
