Out-of-the-box places to have your child’s next birthday party
Science Museum Oklahoma
If your kid has ever gone through a slime-making phase or has a special interest in space, SMO is for you! Science Museum Oklahoma offers birthday packages starting at $250 for members and $290 for non-members. This includes museum admission and exhibit access for up to 30 people (which would regularly cost over $500), as well as two hours in one of their private party rooms.
Nature lovers can reserve the SMO Gardens from March through October, while the Flight Deck is perfect for aerospace aficionados. The Curie Room and Carver Room were created specifically for celebrations, and The Lab lets young scientists live their dreams for a day.
Kidz Funtown
This one is for the kids with endless energy. This indoor playplace in Edmond has a multi-level playground, slides and swings, a playhouse and a LEGO station. (Wait, that’s not all. We just needed to take a breath.) It also has a soft ninja obstacle course, indoor zip lines, mini trampolines, foam pits and an enclosed area for toddlers to play safely.
Kidz Funtown’s party packages vary by day of the week. Weekend packages start at $265 and include two hours in a party room as well as entry for 12 guests in addition to the birthday kid. Weekday packages run at a lower rate of $160.
SoccerCity
Got a soccer star in your house or just a crew of kids who need to run off some sugar? SoccerCity OKC will set you up with a private indoor field for an hour of games, drills and hilarious parent-vs-kid scrimmages. (Parents, you’d better start stretching now.) Guests can also book their favorite Lil’ Kicker coach for no additional cost.
Next, guests get one hour in the party room, four pitchers of soda and a t-shirt for the birthday star. SoccerCity partners with Papa John’s for pizza, and concessions are also available. The cost varies by field size, ranging from $175 to $215. Overall, it’s a total score, and you don’t have to worry about rain or heat ruining your plans.
Metro Gymnastics
Your kids are going to flip over this one! (Sorry, we had to.) If you have a child who turns your couch into a trampoline or is always somehow upside down, this is the place for you. Party packages include coach-led obstacle courses, foam pit dives, balance beam challenges and plenty of free time to bounce, jump and cartwheel.
The gymnastics party package is $250, which covers the cost of 10 party guests. Parties last 90 minutes, allowing for an hour of gym time and 30 minutes for presents and cake. Parties are led by one of Metro Gymnastics’ staff members, who specialize in safety and FUN.
Even more unique is the gym’s aerial silks party option. This is reserved for ages 7 to 16 and is an ideal option for thrill-loving teens. These packages start at $210 for 10 party guests and include an hour of instruction on foundational aerial silks that culminates in the choreography of a short routine.
OKC ZOO
These parties are quite literally…wild. Packages start at $260 for Zoofriends members and $300 for non-members. But the look on your child’s face when a zookeeper walks in with a bearded dragon, a lemur or a python? Priceless.
Parties are available on Saturdays and Sundays and include 15 admissions and 90 minutes in either the Treehouse or The Porch. You can’t go wrong with either – The Porch is an open-air pavilion located right next to the Children’s Zoo while the Treehouse has an indoor and outdoor space … and the pièce de résistance? An indoor slide.
Zoo attractions like Stingray Bay, Explorikeet Adventures, The Endangered Species Carousel and animal presentations are available as upgrades.
Arcadia Lake
If your kid’s dream party involves sunshine, sand and space to run free, Arcadia Lake in Edmond is a birthday goldmine. With three beaches, five playgrounds, two disc golf courses and six reservable pavilions, there’s no shortage of entertainment.
Pavilion rental rates are super reasonable at $50 for half-day rentals and $100 for the entire day. Party packages are also available to help visitors save on vehicle passes – the perfect mix of frugal and fun.
Whether you prefer nature, science, sports or animals, these unique birthday party places in OKC are sure to delight your child and their guests.
