Birthdays at Candeeland

Book the room. We'll bring the noise.

A private party room for an hour that's entirely yours — 15 kids with grip socks on all of them, two adults free per child, and a half hour before you start to get the decorations up.

How it works

Your 2 hours are really 2 hours and 45 minutes

We book parties in a 2-hour time block — for example, 3:00 to 5:00 PM. The party room opens to you 45 minutes before your scheduled party time, giving you plenty of time to decorate, set up your food, and get everything ready before your guests arrive.

3–5 days before

Waivers go out

Save time before the party! Ask every family attending to complete their waiver online before arrival. It only takes a couple of minutes and helps make check-in quick and easy.

10:15 AM

Doors open for you

Come in through the back, set the table, tape up the banner. Included — you're not paying for this time.

11:00 AM – 1:00 PM

The party

The room is yours. Cake, presents, and celebration. A staff member works the front and checks your guests in, so you're not running the door.

1:00 PM

We reset the room

Clear your food and decorations back to the car, and we clean it top to bottom for the next family — the same way it was clean for you.

Why the waivers matter more than you'd think: every guest needs one signed before they can check in. Families who sign at home walk straight through. Anyone who shows up without one waits at the desk until it's done — which, on a Saturday, is the difference between a party that starts on time and one that doesn't.

The details

What we bring, what you bring

There's no package to pick and no menu to order from. You get the room and the jumping; the cake is your call.

What's included

  • The private party room for your booked hour, plus 45 minutes before to set up
  • 15 kids — all jumping, all with grip socks included
  • Up to 2 adults free per child for the length of the party
  • A staff member at the front checking your guests in
  • Tables, chairs and trash handled — we clean the room after

What you bring

  • Your own food and drinks — ready to serve, since there's no cooking or heating in the building
  • Your own decorations — no rules beyond what you can take down again
  • Please don't walk food through the mall — the back way is easier anyway

More than 15 kids? Bring them. Each additional child is $23 admission, and every one of them still gets two adults in free for the party. On the day you can put the extras on the party bill, or let each family pay their own at the desk — your call, no need to decide now.

House rules

Three Important Party Rules

To keep Candeeland safe, clean, and fun for everyone, there are three party rules we need every family to follow. These requirements are important for the safety of our guests and our facility, so please review them before your celebration.

No Sparklers or Trick Candles

For everyone's safety, sparklers, trick candles, or anything that creates sparks or smoke are not allowed inside Candeeland. Regular birthday candles are absolutely welcome — light them, sing Happy Birthday, make a wish, and blow them out!

No Open Flames

For everyone's safety, open flames are not permitted inside Candeeland, with the exception of regular birthday candles on the cake. Please leave Sterno, warming trays with open flames, and other flame-producing items at home.

Birthday candles? Absolutely — make a wish! 🎂

No Cooking or Food Prep Inside

Please bring all food ready to serve and enjoy. Cooking, heating, or food preparation is not available inside Candeeland, so please plan your party menu accordingly.

Bring it ready, set it out, and enjoy the celebration! 🎉

Good to know

The questions parents always ask

1

Do the shoes come off?

Not in the party room — you and your guests can keep your shoes on in there the whole time. They come off the moment anyone steps into the park structure.

2

What about grip socks?

Every kid in the party gets a pair, included. Grip socks are required to Play.

Adults only need them if they're getting on the structure — and if you didn't bring a pair, they're $3 at the desk.

3

Can We Stay After the Party?

Absolutely! After your 2-hour party, the room must be cleared, but you're welcome to keep playing at Candeeland.

Each paid child still includes up to 2 adults FREE. 🎉

4

Who needs a waiver?

Every guest, signed before check-in — not just the ones Playing. No waiver on file means waiting at the desk instead of walking in.

Send us your guest list when you book and we'll email everyone 3–5 days ahead. One waiver covers a household for a full year.
