Your Melbourne Children's Party Planning Guide

Planning a children's party in Melbourne usually starts with one question: party at home, or party out? Both are easy to organise here, because the entertainers and stylists on this page travel across the city, while the activity centres look after the room and the food.

For a home or hall party, Melbourne Fairy Parties and Little Party Faces send costumed fairies, princesses and superheroes with games and face painting. A meet and greet with Melbourne Fairy Parties starts from $160, and Little Party Faces offers face painting from $200 an hour. Kidz Party Discos brings a kids' DJ with lighting and clean, age-matched music for children from about four to twelve, and Amazing Ashley performs a magic show starring doves, a rabbit, a guinea pig and a hen.

Going out suits older children. Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq Docklands and Strike Bowling Melbourne Central both pair bowling with laser tag, Holey Moley Melbourne CBD has a themed mini golf course, and Karting Madness Braybrook puts children from age four on mini and rookie karts. Ace Karts in Albion keeps speed-limited karts for six to eleven year olds.

Extras worth booking alongside the main act:

  • Balloons and backdrops: Fairytale Balloons from $299, Blove Events from $249 and Lunar Balloons, all delivering and installing around Melbourne
  • A styled theme: Kitty's Party from $500, with delivery and pack-down covered, or One Big Day Event Hire from $300 for themed kids' set-ups
  • Food: Grazing With Stella for Greek-style grazing tables, or Mamalyn Catering for Vietnamese buffet trays and rice paper rolls
  • Photos: Melbourne Birthday Party Photography covers two to four hours, from $400
