Planning and hosting a kids’ birthday party can be a stressful endeavour. That’s why it’s a really smart idea to outsource all the hassle and book your event at an indoor play centre. For one fee they will organize the food, activities, entertainment, and sometimes even the invites, so you just have to enjoy the day.
Here’s a list of the best indoor party places for kids in Ottawa.
Monkey Around
There are three packages to choose from when planning your child’s party at Monkey Around for between five and eight guests. The two hours spent in the party room are only the start, afterward, kids have unlimited time to enjoy the roller rink, jumping pillow and two-floor play structure. A birthday lunch with cake is included and you can opt to also provide your guests with tokens to play the redemption games.
