Few places give kids as many ways to spend a birthday as the Gold Coast. Choices run from a tenpin and arcade centre on a wet day to a water park on the Broadwater, and the deciding factors are usually age, group size and how much of the mess you want at your own place.
Weather matters here, too. Humid summer afternoons often end in storms, so an outdoor party needs a morning slot or a covered backup.
What parties typically start at across the coast, with the unit that applies:
Before comparing, count the adults you will also pay for. A per-person price can apply to every guest through the gate or only to the children, and on a big party that difference matters.
Mini golf is hard to beat, with starting prices of $15 per person at Carrara and $19 per person at Mermaid Beach. Bring a cake, and ask whether a party room is included or priced separately.
Surfers Paradise has a cluster of indoor tenpin, arcade and game venues, and there are big centres at Robina and Coomera too. In summer, book an indoor option or hold a backup date, as storms can arrive quickly.
The Broadwater is sheltered compared with the ocean, but age, height and swimming requirements still apply. Ask the operator for its rules, how many adults must be in the water and what the weather policy is.
Themed pony visits start at $350, and clowns and other performers usually quote to the party. Prices vary with travel and party length, so give your suburb, the number of children and their ages when you ask.
Hire starts at $310 here, and set-up and pick-up are worth confirming. Check the yard's size, the surface and the access through side gates. Ask what the hirer does about high winds and whether a wet slide needs a tap.
Yes, and the supplier usually sets up and collects. Starting prices here are $200 and $380. Ask how many children are included, what is supplied, and when pick-up happens the next day.
