Your Blue Mountains Children's Party Planning Guide

Most Blue Mountains kids parties happen at home, in a local park or at a community hall, and the weather decides more than the theme does. Mountain afternoons can swing from sun to mist and cold in an hour.

That makes an entertainer who comes to you, and a backup plan under cover, the two things to sort first.

What families book for a Mountains kids party:

  • Pony rides and unicorn ponies brought to the backyard or a park, with packages from $770
  • A mobile petting zoo that suits toddlers through to tweens
  • A trackless train, mini carousel or teacups for a larger school or community event
  • Balloons, banners and table decorations from the party decorations page
  • Tables, chairs and a small marquee for shade or shelter from event furniture hire

Animal and ride entertainers here cover Katoomba & Leura and the Lower Mountains, so ask about the Upper Mountains when you enquire. More acts are on children's party entertainment.

Planning around the weather

  • Have a garage, verandah or hall booked as a fallback for rain or fog
  • Winter parties need warm layers on the invitation and a shorter outdoor window
  • Summer afternoons can still be hot in the Lower Mountains, so plan shade and water
  • Ask animal handlers what they do if it rains on the day

Getting the age right

  • Toddlers enjoy gentle animals and short activities with parents close by
  • Children from four to eight usually want a ride and a game they can all join
  • Tweens tend to prefer something they can film and share with friends
  • Keep the whole party to about two hours for the youngest groups

Safety and set-up

  • Check that handlers hold Working With Children Checks
  • Ask how much flat, level ground the ponies or rides need
  • Confirm the arrival time and where the float or trailer will park
