- Birthday parties are scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 12 pm or 1 pm to 3 pm.

- Plates, utensils, cups, and napkins.
- A deposit of $220 is required to secure the slot for your party. This covers the cost of the first 10 children.
- If more than 10 children are participating, there is a charge of $22 per additional child. This balance is due on the day of the party.
