Why Families Choose Us

We host one party at a time — because yours deserves our full attention. No two celebrations are the same, and our hosts know that. We see every party as an opportunity to create the kind of core memories that kids and adults carry with them for a lifetime. Every detail matters to us, because it matters to you.

Party FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know to plan an out-of-this-world birthday party. Still have questions? Give us a call.
Do you offer tours before booking? ▼
We no longer do private tours. The best way to experience Space Play Academy before your party is to check out our social media, read our reviews, or visit us for an Open Play session and bring the birthday kid along!
You'll be able to see all the zones, meet the staff, and let your child pick their favorite spots — making them even more excited for the big day.
Can I book a party on a weekend with only 10 kids? ▼
For July 2026 — yes! The Astro Explorer package is now available on weekends through the end of July. Outside of July, our smallest weekend-available package is the Galactic Adventurer (15 kids + 15 adults).
Do you close the whole facility during our party? ▼
The Astro Explorer and Galactic Adventurer packages are not private events — the open play area is shared with walk-in guests and other visitors.
However, we carefully limit the number of tickets sold during your party window so it never feels crowded.
Can we bring our own decorations? ▼
Absolutely — we encourage it! Parents who want to personalize their party are welcome to bring their own decorations.
Can I bring my own cake and get a discount? ▼
You may bring your own cake with prior approval, but no discount will be applied to the package price.
How many pizzas are included in each package? ▼
We order 16-inch round pies cut into 12 slices. Based on experience, we order 1.5 slices per guest (kids and adults combined) — this consistently results in minimal waste.
| Package | Guests | Slices | Pies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Astro Explorer | 20 total | 30 slices | 3 large pies |
| Galactic Adventurer | 30 total | 45 slices | 4 large pies |
| Intergalactic Legend | 64 total | 96 slices | 8 large pies |
Do you allow outside food for adults during the party? ▼
Outside food must be approved in advance. We allow light finger foods that don't create a mess in the dedicated party room — we'll provide a table for your setup.
If you'd like to bring prepared dishes with sauces or spices, a $75 setup fee applies. This covers serving utensils, table covers, food warmers, and cleanup.
Can kids go back to play after pizza and cake? ▼
Unfortunately, no. Once pizza and cake are served, the party is officially over. We do offer a 30-minute grace period so your guests don't feel rushed and can continue relaxing in the party room.
We've had situations in the past where children became sick after eating and immediately playing, and it's an unpleasant experience for everyone involved. In cases where extra cleaning is required, additional charges may apply.
Are grip socks included in the package price? ▼
No — socks are not included in any party package. We made this decision deliberately.
When socks were offered "for free," some guests treated them as disposable. We've carefully selected high-quality grip socks designed specifically for our play mats, and we want them to be valued and used responsibly.
What is the price for extra kids and adults? ▼
Additional guest pricing varies by package. You can find the exact per-person rates listed on each package card above.
