Yes! Your rental includes 10 kids but you can add on extra children for $16 each, the same price as our open play passes. Adults are always free!
*For parties taking place starting May 1st, we are included unlimited kids! The max capacity for our space is 60 total people.
We count children ages 6 months to 10 years old in your final count. However, please note that our space is designed for children up to age 7, and those over 7 are not allowed on our play structures unless helping a younger child.
Yes! When you rent out our space, we are closed to the public. Only those you invite to your party will be allowed!
If the children are siblings, such as twins or their birthdays are close together, then yes, the party can be for more than one child. If the children are from two different families, we ask that they have separate parties.
We have a space capacity of 60 people, so please keep this in mind when sending out invitations for your party!
Please note that we only have tables and seating for 20 in the party area. We have seen that most parties do not have everyone eat all at once since kids are kind of doing their own thing! It has worked well for people to eat in a more open house style.
We do not supply these items for parties.
Tape, command hooks, or any other fasteners on our walls or doors are prohibited, however, we do have existing hooks on the walls in our party area to hang banners, backdrops, and like items.

While your rental time period is three hours, we recommend a two hour party, as your time block includes set up and tear down time. For a 1:00-4:00 rental, we recommend telling your guests the party is from 1:30-3:30. And for a 4:30-7:30 rental, we recommend telling your guests the party is from 5:00-7:00. Please see the following two questions for why!
We recommend giving yourself 30 minutes to set up so you aren’t rushed! It can take a bit longer than you may anticipate depending on how much decor and food you may have, and there’s always a guest or two that will arrive early! Anything that is included in your rental, like table balloon decor and plastic table cloths, or any add ons that you purchase, will already be set up when you arrive at the beginning of your rental time. Your party assistant will be available to help set up any food or decor that you bring in addition.
We recommend giving yourself 15-30 minutes in the rental period for tear down/clean up. We recommend saying on your part invitation that your party ends 30 minutes before your actual timeslot ends so there are no surprises.
We love a good party… but we also love staying on schedule! If your party continues 1–30 minutes past your booked time slot, a $100 late-stay fee applies. To make sure every family gets their full celebration, we cannot permit staying more than 30 minutes past your end time.
Yes! You can bring in your own food or even have items delivered. Our party area does have very few outlets, so please do not rely on crockpots with what you bring! Please let us know if you are wanting to bring crockpots.
We do not allow chafing dishes due to not wanting an open flame around with children.
Please note that we do not have a fridge or freezer onsite, so plan accordingly!
Yes! In your rental, solid colored plastic tablecloths are included, as well as table balloon decor, both of which you get to choose the color for. But you are welcome to bring in your own decorations as well! We have seen backdrops, banners and more!
Yes, you may bring in your own balloon garland, but please note that you will have to take it with you or pop it before you leave if you do not wish to take it with you.
Please also be sure to bring proper items to hang it on the wall. We do not allow tape, but fishing line, string, or long balloons (not blown up) work great. Your party attendant will be able to help you hang your garland on our birthday wall.
Yes! Pricing will vary. Please email us at hello@playdatemn.com to inquire about this service.

Parties are NOT ALLOWED during open play hours. We want everyone to enjoy their time at Play Date, and hosting a party during open play hours creates an uncomfortable environment for non party goers, as well as taking up tables and chairs meant for all.

You can only host a birthday party if you booked either a private unstaffed weekday rental or a private weekend rental. No exceptions. If you are caught having a birthday party we will charge you a fee of $199 + tax directly to your credit or debit card. This is outlined in our Terms and Conditions.
