How to Choose Kids Party Venues

Two quite different children's party rooms sit in the inner south, and both hand the whole space to one party at a time. The Party Room for Kids South Melbourne dresses its Dow Street room in whatever theme your child picks, while Little Party House is a styled first-floor venue on North Road in Ormond built around children's birthdays and 1st birthdays.

How the two compare for parents:

  • Theme or style: The Party Room for Kids South Melbourne has more than 40 themed set-ups, from indoor snowfall to a giant dinosaur, while Little Party House keeps a French patisserie look with chandeliers, a small stage and an Enchanted Garden room.
  • Number of children: the Dow Street room takes up to 25 children and up to 25 adults; Little Party House's kids' packages cater for 30 children with room for parents too, and its 1st birthday package goes up to 80 guests in total.
  • Who runs it: two costumed entertainers and hosting staff run every South Melbourne party, while the Ormond packages include a party hostess and a planner who supervises on the day.
  • Party length: both run parties of an hour and a half, and the South Melbourne room also offers a two-hour option.
  • Price: the South Melbourne room is priced from a $998 party package, and the cost doesn't change with the number of children up to 25; Little Party House is from $1,716 room hire.

Grown-ups are looked after at both. Little Party House gives parents their own seating area with a tea bar, and the South Melbourne kitchen offers platters, sandwiches and coffee for adults alongside the kids' menu.
