THE COOLEST KIDS PARTY VENUES IN SINGAPORE
1. Climb Central
For an adrenalin-pumping party with a difference, scale to new heights up the rock climbing walls at Climb Central. It’s a unique and ideal party venue for the slightly older party child. Our gung-ho little lady went to a six year-old birthday party here and was high as a kite. You can join in the fun too as parties with kids under 13 require two adult volunteers (or if you’re afraid of heights just outsource to the professionals). Parents can watch on from the viewing platform in the air-conditioned mall, and head down to the party room after the fun is over for a slice of cake and a refreshing self-catered beverage.
Budget: $$$

It’s suitable for little adventurers aged 6 – 13, with shower facilities on-site to clean up too.

Kids aged seven years and above will love harnessing up and negotiating an obstacle course high among the treetops at epic Forest Adventure.

Once the kidlets are let loose on the course they’ll traverse wobbly logs, rope swings, rickety bridges and a couple of leaps of faith.

RESTAURANTS IN SINGAPORE THAT HOST KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTIES
Love food and love the idea of treating your special little partygoer to a birthday bash at a cool cafe or restaurant? (We also love the idea of not having to deal with the post-party cleanup!) What you need is our hit-list of child-friendly restaurants in Singapore that can host parties for kids that are not only delicious, but super fun too. We’re talking fun places that are quirky and think outside the box when it comes to entertaining a junior entourage. Read on, party people…
Pizza Express
Yes, UK household name Pizza Express is on Singapore shores – dough balls and all. It offers some pretty fun hands-on kid’s cooking parties. Pizza-making parties run for two hours – during which time your little chefs will don a hat and apron and get messy with flour, dough and delicious ingredients (our pick is pepperoni with olives). A slice of cake and glass of juice will round out proceedings nicely.
Where: Various locations around Singapore
Kith
If you’re after a super-chilled kids party venue with bang-on mod-European nosh, then look no further than Kith Cafe. There’s good reason it’s hard to snag a seat with the family on a Sunday morning! The outdoor tables all offer a great spot for kids to treat as a base – while scooting, playing on the rocking horses and generally running off excess energy. You can tailor the party to suit your special birthday poppet, with the Kith peeps willing and able to organise balloons, magic shows, toys and goodies (or anything else their little heart desires – just ask!). Rough cost is a fab $20++ per head.
Where: Robertson Quay, Millenia Walk and Sentosa Cove
Jamie’s Italian
We’re happy to hit up Jamie’s Italian any time! It’s the place where wholesome kids’ nutrition, impeccable styling and service collide – all with a good dash of fun. Your kid and their crew will receive the VIP treatment as mini-pizza chefs – kicking off with a guided tour of the herb garden, followed by a stint on the giggle-inducing pasta extruder machine and a make-your-own rustic Italian pizza sesh. Junior diners then enjoy their spoils while being entertained with all the usual Jamie’s Italian extras like old-school viewmasters, stickers, crayons and colouring sheets. Feel free to bring your own birthday cake or else outsource the pressure to them on just three days’ notice. And the whole event is affordable (phew!) at only $45++per kid (minimum of 10).
Where: VivoCity and The Forum
Cravings
Another café with rustic charm offering fabulous Birthday parties with a difference is cooking school Cravings. Aiming to provide a one-stop service, the lovely people at Cravings provide catering (from a super cheap $11 per person), event entertainment like face painting and magic show, and a dessert table that has to be seen to be believed. Rainbow paddle pop cheesecake anyone? (20 – 30 pax from $448). You won’t even need to fret about making party bags, they’ll sort this for you for just $6.90 per child. It’s perfect for the time-poor parent wanting a walk-in and walk-out experience that won’t break the bank. Easy!
Where: 6 Tebing Lane, #01-05, Singapore, 828835.
Cafe Melba
The crew at kid-friendly Cafe Melba really know how to throw an epic kids party. We should know, we’ve hosted one of our legendary Chinese New Year Parties there. The space is perfect for little people with a wide-open verandah and huge lawn just perfect for that game of pass the parcel. The food is healthy and moreish, and perfect for a kids party where parents want to drop in for a bite to eat and a refreshing tipple. Once the air hits the on-site bouncy castle you’ll be free to sit back and enjoy the relaxing vibe.

You’ll know you’re in the right place when you pull up in front of the brightly painted vintage VW van. We love the vintage whimsical styling of this place (indoor green grass and powder blue mini Eames rocking chairs – cute!). Check out the seemingly endless variations of part-ay packages available (and you can order from Ben & Jerry’s menu of cleverly named ice-creams). Unbelievable 3D party cakes too! This is THE kids party restaurant for the sweet-toothed partygoer.
