When the weather isn’t cooperating, and you need to pivot indoors, it can be frustrating finding a place that has enough to do.
Kids might have fun playing one type of game for a little bit, but you’ll need to keep adding on the activities if you want to make a birthday party they’ll really remember.
Read on to find some simple indoor activities that make kids go wild and a kid’s birthday party place that has it all under one roof.
1. Glow-In-The-Dark Mini Golf Adventures
Mini golf is always popular with younger kids, but when you transform it with blacklights and neon colors, it works for children of any age.
Glow-in-the-dark mini golf courses are extra fun and provide an immersive experience for birthday parties to feel unique and special.
Monster Mini Golf in Norwood is an excellent example with animatronic monsters that laugh, joke, and talk while you’re playing.
Having a round of mini golf that kids can play at their own pace gives them a great activity to kick off an unforgettable birthday celebration.
2. Exciting Arcade Challenges and Prizes
A dream birthday party for any kid has to have at least a few video games, and arcades give a variety of different kinds for kids to go wild.
Choose your own adventure, racing games, or even claw machines help kids make choices on what they like and reward them with an exciting time.
The games at Monster Mini Golf are even more fun because you get chances to win tickets.
Collect enough tickets and kids can exchange them for fun prizes when they’re done. The birthday monster isn’t the only one who gets a gift during a party at Monster Mini Golf.
3. Classic Party Games Like Pin the Tail on the Donkey
Don’t overlook the timeless games like Pin the Tail on the Donkey, even though you might have to update it for superheroes. The low-tech and interactive game will keep the laughter going, and you can adapt it to practically any space.
These types of games are easy to set up and can be done right after the cake cutting or singing happy birthday to the birthday kid.
Monster Mini Golf has a private Haunted Mansion room always available for birthday parties, where the entire group can hang out and get some extra fun activities in between mini golf and arcade games.
4. Mini Games and Challenges
Instead of just having kids play through a round of mini golf and that be it, tie in some extra prizes along the journey to make it more entertaining.
Have a hole-in-one challenge where the first kid to get one wins an extra candy basket surprise. Or you can also set up trick shots or other fun, creative ideas.
Monster Mini Golf sets you up with pre-created mini challenges that kids will compete for to win small prizes.
It keeps the kids engaged no matter what they’re doing and gives them another reason to remember the party long after the games are done.
5. Birthday-Themed Contests and Competitions
With the right atmosphere and people involved, kids will love to compete in a friendly contest or competition.
Contests like “best monster impression” or “silliest victory dance” can lead to memories these kids will never forget.
Just make sure the prizes are worth it, because if the kids are too shy, they may not be as willing to get involved.
A quick game pass with arcade credits is a great way to get everyone competing and having fun.
6. Dance and Music Fun in the Party Room
You don’t have to plan a bunch of hands-on activities every second of the party. Sometimes you just have to let kids be themselves by putting on some music and letting everyone dance away.
Music already adds extra energy, but when you pair it with your kid’s favorite songs and then have everyone let loose, you can really see the kids come into their own.
To make it even more fun, add a game to it, like freeze dance, where everyone has to stop when the music stops, or they’re out.
Monster Mini Golf has a private Haunted Mansion room available for reservation where you can crank the tunes and watch the fun unfold.
7. Creative Crafts and Hands-On Activities
Making DIY crafts is a great way to make sure every kid walks away with a fun keepsake they may hold onto for years.
Decorating masks, friendship bracelets, or designing a party hat is a great way to get everyone involved in the party and be invested in everything going well.
Our friendly staff at Monster Mini Golf is here to help set up and clean everything, so you only have to focus on relaxing and having a good time.
We will set up the crafting station, make sure all surfaces are covered, so kids can go crazy, and then wipe it all up when it’s all done.
8. Cake, Presents, and Celebration Time in Style
Bringing out the cake is maybe the most important part of the event. Everyone’s watching and it’s when the special birthday monster gets to make the wish they’ve been waiting all year for.
You want the moment to feel relaxed and like you have space to enjoy it. Make sure your birthday party has a party room you can reserve, so everything goes smoothly.
It’s also a great break from all the other, more hands-on activities, so kids and adults can recharge for the rest of the party.
