We had our daughter's 6th birthday at Gathering Wild, using the outdoor space on a sunny day. The kids (ages 4-6) absolutely loved it! There was an endless supply of activities (paint, potions, costumes, etc...) for them to try, with zero mess for me to clean up at the end. I would absolutely book it again for a fun and easy birthday!

The Party Formula
-
PLAY PLAY PLAY. Families arrive and jump right into play. Our easels, sensory tables, makers station, block area, costumes, sandbox, mud kitchen EVERYTHING IS OPEN! Your extensions will be offered 15 min into the start of the party!
-
Once the kids have had plenty of opportunity to play we will start to transition into a dance party ( or singalong if you opted for that extension)! Wanna skip the dance party? No problem-kids can keep playing!
-
If you’re planning on serving food now is the time to start! Tables will be set inside the playroom with tablecloths and chairs. We will help facilitate hand washing.
After food , let’s get to dessert! We can sing Happy Birthday together and eat some delicious treats! TIP we strongly recommend cupcakes or anything else single serve. Cutting the cake and serving eats away ALOT of time and we don’t want families to feel rushed!
-
Our staff will let you know that there is 10 minutes left in your party :)! We will read the classic “Moira’s Birthday” for the end of the party! Our sensory bins will be closed and things will be winding down. Wanna skip the story? No problem just let us know! If kids hands are messy from food now would be a good time to start washing them! Now is also a good time to gather your loot bags and get ready to pass them out in the cubby area! That’s a great way to transition to the end of the party.
-
Now is the time to say see you soon to your guests :)! It’s very tempting to stay and chat with parents and for the kids to stay and play but sadly the party does have to end. Perhaps suggest meeting at the park or at a coffee shop! We don’t want to rush families out BUT we do host two birthdays on the weekends and we need to get the space spick and span for the next kiddo! Host parents have another 15 minutes after the two- hour mark to gather presents and any extra food they need to bring home with them !
