Birthday Parties
Get Ready For Your Party
Here’s everything you need to know for the most stress-free celebration. We’ll handle the big stuff, so you can actually enjoy the day, coffee in hand, instead of running around like an unpaid party planner.
In the Lead Up
Confirming your party
A few days before, we’ll give you a call to lock in the important stuff: guest numbers, food choices, and any extras. Each party comes with pizzas (one for every four kids) and you get to choose from all the favourites—Margherita, Hawaiian, Ham & Cheese, BBQ Chicken, Meat Lovers, Pepperoni, Vegetarian, or Garlic.
Final guest numbers and any extra platters (including for adults) need to be confirmed by 12pm Thursday before your party. We’ll try our best with late changes, but can’t guarantee availability. Please note, guests numbers cannot exceed package size limits (eg. 8-16 guests) once booked.
Decorations & extras
Bring along balloons, decorations, your own cake, and lolly bags if you like. Just remember: Blu Tac only, balloons on weights, and no glitter, confetti, or silly string. Cakes aren’t included, but you’re welcome to bring your own or order one of our ice-cream cakes ($25, serves 12). Candles are on us — sparklers aren’t allowed.
On Arrival
Check in
We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes before your scheduled party time. This allows us enough time get you checked in, and you enough time to add any decorations you’d like without feeling rushed
When checking you in at reception, we will reconfirm your guests and platter details once more before taking final payment for your party.
Coffee (or cocktails) Tab
Set up a drinks tab so you can enjoy your drinks while the kids run wild. Just let us know during the check-in process. Fully-stocked bar & barista-made coffee at a kids’ party? Dreams do come true.
Meet your host
From the moment you arrive, your host is in charge. They’ll greet the kids, explain the plan, and keep everything running smoothly. So you can relax knowing it’s all under control.
Get This Party Started!
For Classic Bowling Parties (1 hr 45 mins)
Children enjoy around 1 hour of timed bowling. They then return to the party table for the remaining 45 minutes, beginning with food and finishing with cake and celebrations.
For Playground Parties (1 hr 30 mins)
Children spend the first 40 minutes in the playground. They then move into the party room for the remaining 50 minutes, beginning with food and finishing with cake and celebrations.
For Blitz Bowling Parties (1 hr 30 mins)
Children enjoy 45 minutes of timed Blitz bowling. They then return to the party room for the remaining 45 minutes, beginning with food and finishing with cake and celebrations.
Your private party room is yours to enjoy! Relax while we get the kids having a blast, serve the food and organise the cake ceremony.
After the Party
Reserve table
This concludes your party celebration, but for all parties that include our playground activities, this is when your playground fun continues/begins!
Once your time in the party room has finished, a reserved table will be available. Any leftover food from your platters will be packed up for you to take home. Just let your host know what you’d like to keep.
Final check out
Before leaving, we will review any final charges, such as last-minute guests, add-ons, or drinks from your café tab, and confirm everything is finalised.
Feedback
We’d love to hear how your party went. Your host may ask for a little feedback before you head off, and you’re always welcome to share your thoughts with our party coordinator or managers too, it helps us keep making Hoopla parties extra special.
