How to Choose Kids Party Venues

A kids' party venue takes the hosting off your hands. The room is set up before you arrive, a host runs the games, and the clean-up is theirs – which is the whole appeal when the alternative is twenty children in your lounge room.

Melbourne's options range from themed party rooms and play cafes to a glow-in-the-dark sports arena, mostly in the suburbs where families live rather than in the city centre. Most are built around young children, from first birthdays through to about ten.

How pricing tends to work:

Per-child packages start at about $30 a head for a 90-minute party, rising to about $48 with more food or activities
Packages for a set group – usually 8 to 10 children – run from about $550 to $600, with $25 to $50 for each extra child
A private themed room with hosts and entertainers for up to 25 children is about $1,000 to $1,200, depending on whether you take 90 minutes or two hours
Hiring a whole venue for a bigger family party, adults included, runs from about $1,700 to over $2,000
Weekends often cost more than weekdays, so check which day the quoted price applies to

Saturday and Sunday slots go first, especially in school terms, so enquire a few weeks ahead if the date is fixed. Venues quote you directly, and nothing is added on top for using Party Hero.

Exclusive use of a party room for the session, set up and decorated before guests arrive
A party host or entertainer who runs the games and keeps things moving
Food for the children, and at some venues platters and drinks for the adults too
Invitations, party bags or a themed set-up, depending on the package

Frequently Asked Questions About Childrens Party Venues

How much does a kids' party venue cost in Melbourne?

The venues listed here start at about $30 per child, or about $550 to $600 for a group of 8 to 10 children. A private themed room with hosts for up to 25 children is about $1,000 to $1,200.

How long does a kids' party at a venue last?

Most packages run for 90 minutes to two hours, which suits young children well. Whole-venue hire for a family party is often three hours or more.

How many children can come?

Group packages usually include 8 to 10 children, with extra guests charged per child. Private party rooms take up to about 25 children, and some venues fit 80 to 100 guests, adults included, on whole-venue hire.

Do I need to bring food or a cake?

Most packages include food for the children, and some cater for adults too. A birthday cake is usually yours to bring – ask whether the venue has a fridge and a knife for it.

Are adults catered for?

It depends on the package. Some venues include platters and drinks for parents, while others charge for adult food separately – check before you book so you know what to plan for.

How far ahead should I book?

Weekend slots are the first to go, so enquire a few weeks ahead for a Saturday or Sunday party. Weekday sessions are often cheaper and easier to find at short notice.

What ages do these venues suit?

Most are designed for children from about one to ten, with themes and activities to match. Ask the venue which ages a package suits before you book, especially for older children.
