If you’re looking for a memorable birthday venue for your little one in Melbourne, then we have you covered. From unique activities to interactive experiences and creative themes, Melbourne has many options to ensure your child’s special day remains a core memory. Here are our top kids’ birthday party ideas for the ultimate birthday celebration.
1. Challenge their senses in thrilling challenges
SENSAS is an out-of-the-box experience that will give you and your kids a whole new perspective on fun. It’s a one-of-a-kind, immersive sensory adventure where you and your team are taken on a wild journey through challenges designed to test and engage your five senses in ways you’ve never imagined. We’re talking about two hours of pure, exhilarating fun that will leave your kids buzzing with excitement.
2. Pick a theme at The Party Room for Kids
The Party Room for Kids takes the stress of organising a kid’s party out of the parent’s hands. The venue offers over a dozen stunning themes to choose from, including a snow queen with actual snowfall on arrival, a mermaid with a large glowing shell, superheroes with a galaxy night sky and a dinosaur jungle with 4.5m high dinosaurs. Everything from the decor to the catering and entertainment is looked after, to ensure a fun and stress-free day for everyone.
3. Play an ‘Among Us’-style game
If your kids loved playing the online multiplayer game, Among Us, you’ll want to check out Saboteurs, an immersive, space-themed game played inside 11 converted shipping containers. As crew members, your kids will complete tasks around a designated moon base with plenty of features like a Decontamination Unit, Sleep Pods, a Medbay, Mining Tools and more. But, beware! There may be an imposter on the ship. Stop and eject these sinister players before they ‘eliminate’ you and your crew.
4. Spend the day in nature at Collingwood Children’s Farm
Spend the day outdoors with a birthday party in the lush gardens of Collingwood Children’s Farm. With acres of land to play and explore in, busy kids will have more than enough to keep themselves entertained. The experienced events team will set you up in the Stables Paddock, a picturesque spot nestled between the river and Nursery Garden with a marquee, two trestle tables and hay bales for farm-style seating. With multiple add-ons like catering and even a guinea pig cuddle session, there is everything you need to make this day extra special.
5. Travel back in time at Jurassic World: The Exhibition
Dinosaur enthusiasts will now be able to celebrate their birthday amongst prehistoric creatures at Jurassic World: The Exhibition.
