Places to Have Birthday Parties for Children in Utah

Children can see an octopus up close at their next birthday party.

Indoor and outdoor birthday party venues are abundant throughout the state of Utah and party planners are sure to find a location that appeals to even the most particular child. Kids enthralled with learning can enjoy exploring interactive educational exhibits with their peers, while extremely active children can bounce their energy out at an indoor inflatable play center.

Aquarium

Host a birthday party at an aquarium for an educational and entertaining event. The Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy, Utah offers birthday parties that include admission to the facility for the entire day and 1 1/2 hours in a private party room. Guests can touch a stingray at the touch tank and see marine life, such as nurse sharks, electric eels, octopi, anacondas and piranhas. Included in some of the aquarium's party packages is a host throughout the event, food and beverages, activities, party supplies, party favors and a gift for the birthday child.

Children's Museum

For children with inquiring minds, host a birthday party at a children's museum. The Discovery Gateway Children's Museum in Salt Lake City is a 60,000-square-foot venue filled with interactive exhibits and hands-on experiences for children of all ages. Birthday packages at the museum include themed party activities, a private party room and a gift for the guest of honor. Children between four and 10 can choose a Pirate's Adventure theme to participate in a treasure hunt and learn about pirates. The Once Upon a Birthday theme, for children between four and eight, includes royal games, costume play and storytelling. Add-ons available for purchase include birthday cakes, beverages and party favors.

Indoor Play Center

For children with plenty of energy to spare, plan a birthday party at an indoor play center with attractions such as roller skating rinks, inflatable bouncers, playgrounds, arcades or miniature golf. The Classic Fun Center, with locations in Sandy, Orem and Layton, offers birthday party packages during regular operating hours and facility rentals during Saturday mornings, when partygoers can enjoy the center all to themselves. Party planners can arrange for a private themed party room for the event, such as the Karaoke Room with stage for some fun performing, and the Big Screen Room, where guests can choose from the center's collection of family-friendly movies or bring a favorite of their own. Party packages include roller skating, arcade play and ice cream cups, and groups can upgrade to a pizza party for an additional fee.

Water Park

Arrange a birthday party at a water park for birthdays that occur during warmer months of the year. The Cherry Hill Water Park in Kaysville is equipped with water slides, a lazy river, activity pool, miniature golf course, batting cages, rock climber, arcade and dry playground. Birthday party packages are available for groups of seven children or more, including the birthday child. The Party Extravaganza package includes all-day passes to the park, a pizza lunch and beverages, and a round of miniature golf. Add-ons available for purchase include video game cards for the arcade, birthday cakes and goodie bags for each guest.
