Our parties start with approximately 1.5 hours of open play, followed by time in the party room. Once the 1.5 hours are up, the play houses will close for cleaning. If children finish eating early, the play structure and STEM screen will remain open!

Yes! You are welcome to bring your own decor. You may arrive up to 20 minutes prior to your party (if you arrive earlier, we will not be able to accommodate your party quite yet, as we are deep cleaning and setting up necessary items for your party. We may ask you patiently wait in the hall!). We have command hooks available for some wall decor, and have several tabletops that can be decorated, too. Our party planner can provide additional information on DIY decor options. Please note, we do not allow helium balloons in our space.

Yes! We do have a few guidelines for outside food and beverages as follows:

We ask that any cakes have white, chocolate or pastel dyed icing only (no dark dyes). Smash cakes are permitted, but must be ordered through Where the Wild Things Play.

We are a peanut/nut-free facility due to allergies. We ask that no nut-butter products be brought in for the safety of all of our guests.

No alcoholic beverages are permitted.

There is a $30.00 fee for outside food and beverages. A larger service fee may apply if extensive food and beverage are provided.

This option is only available for 4:30pm parties on Saturdays and Sundays and an extension is subject to staff availability. Pease contact us at least two weeks prior to your party to check for availability.

Our space is designed for children ages 8 and under. Most of our birthday party guests of honor are ages 6 and under, but guests up to 8 have a lot of fun in our space! If you are expecting older guests, we can provide board games available upon request!

We do not allow any kind of electric food heaters/warmers.

The only open flames we allow are to light a candle/candles to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to the guest of honor!

Our two hour party windows include time for tear down. In order to accommodate fully private parties each weekend, it is important that we stick to our designated timelines. There is a 10 minute grace period after your party ends to allow for clean up of outside decor and food, but a late fee will be charged if the party runs beyond that time.

If you bring outside food and beverages, we ask that you please plan on removing waste at the end of your party. We have trash bags available!

You can come up to 20 minutes prior to your party if you plan on bringing outside food, beverage and decor. We know everyone is excited to party, but we ask that you don’t arrive earlier as we will be deep cleaning and setting up!

Yes! The same guidelines apply. The party decorator may arrive no more than 20 minutes prior to the party and all decor would need to be removed ten minutes after the party window. We recommend having all party materials assembled off-site, then simply arranged during the 20 minute prep window.

Our current in-house characters include Walley, our hedgehog mascot, and family favorites - a Blue Heeler and Rescue Pup :) They all love to play, dance, and take pictures with the kids! Their visits will take place during the open play portion of your party (on the open play floor) and the visit will last for approximately 15-20 minutes.

Parents are responsible for supervising their children during birthday parties and ensuring all safety and cleanliness protocols are being followed! However, it’s up to the party host if they are comfortable supervising children invited to the party without their parents present. We ask that you keep an appropriate ratio of parents to children if you do invite parents to leave and come back.

We recommend sharing the party waiver link and play policies with guests ahead of time. There are safety signs posted throughout the space, but the four main policies we ask guests to abide by are:

• No running

• No throwing toys

• Shoes should stay ON for all guests

• No food or drinks on the green carpet

Please supervise your children while they’re in our space. Our staff will be tidying toys and ensuring the space remains free of debris on the floor or spills/messes but it is the parents’ responsibility to monitor their children to be sure they are following our policies. This includes time in the party room. An adult should be present and monitoring children at all times while they're in the party room.
