4 Ways to Keep Kids Entertained During a Birthday Party

Celebrate Your Children’s Birthday in Style at Stockeld Park!

Looking after your kids day in and day out is no small feat. Between school runs, homework battles and the endless cycle of laundry, finding extra time to plan a memorable birthday party can feel like another Herculean task. 

For special moments like this, it’s best to leave the party planning to the professionals - like Stockeld Park! We offer a range of kids’ party packages available both indoors and outdoors in our huge adventure park. 

While we handle the party stress, our blog offers simple tips to keep the kids happy on the big day.

How to Keep Kids Happy at a Birthday Party 

1 - Keep Them Active

Whether you’re hosting a small party of 5 or a class of 20, kids will have a LOT of excited energy to play with! The usual playground games will only scratch the surface, so you need some energy-burning activities to get them going. 

Our Playhive & Adventure parties include up to 90 minutes of Playhive fun, featuring four worlds of adventure. There’s plenty of imaginative play - from sailing boats to flying aeroplanes and sliding down a giant helter-skelter! 

Once the kids have conquered every world, they can head outdoors to play in the Enchanted Forest and the rest of the adventure park, including other themed playgrounds.

2 - Choose a Party Theme

Does your child have a current obsession? Maybe it’s dinosaurs or mythical creatures, or perhaps they dream of being a famous football star? Whatever their passion, let’s transform it into a party they’ll never forget! 

Just imagine the memories (and the smiling faces) you could make with a themed birthday party! All you have to do is select a theme, and we’ll decorate the party area to match. Choose from:

• Dinosaurs

• Mermaids

• Football

• Superheros

• Princess

• Flower power

• Race car

• Woodland fairy

• Game over

• Unicorn

You can also request a unique theme by contacting our team.

3 - Get Adventurous Outdoors

If the weather's good, why not take the party outside? Our laser parties are a popular option for kids wanting an action-packed adventure. They’ll get to play laser for up to 90 minutes in an enchanting woodland, with plenty of hiding spots to stay out of sight! 

Our Playhive & Adventure party packages also include unlimited access to the park. So, once the kids have exhausted the Playhive, they can head to the Enchanted Forest, the Magical Maze and all the amazing playgrounds on offer. 

4 - Plan a Celebratory Feast 

After all that play, your partygoers will have worked up a hunger. It’s best to have party food sorted, or you’ll face a bunch of hangry kids! 

Our party packages include a selection of freshly cooked pizzas, vegetable sticks and squash, catering to every allergen or dietary requirement.  

If you want to bring a cake, we request that it arrive sealed and be either store-bought or made by a professional baker. (Cakes must abide by Natasha’s Law.) To save the stress, we can make a themed cupcake tower as part of our premium party package.
