In most cases we have a party right after yours, so we would not be able to accommodate an additional 30 minutes.  If you would like to request additional time, we encourage you to book the last party time slot for the day and call us to request the additional time. 

​

What happens if I cancel my party or my children get sick?

We require parties to put down a $100 non refundable deposit to book your party day, this deposit must be paid again if the party has to be cancelled and rescheduled for another date.

What happens if guests arrive late?
