Throwing a Birthday Bash? Best Places for Kids' Parties in Singapore
Planning your child’s birthday party can feel like a lot. You want it to be fun, stress-free, and something your kid will actually remember (and talk about for weeks). Whether you’re throwing a big bash or something more low-key, the venue makes all the difference.
To help, we’ve rounded up the best places in Singapore to celebrate a child’s birthday—indoor, outdoor, budget-friendly, and all-out fancy. We’ll also share how balloons (yes, balloons!) can totally transform your party, no matter where you host it.
Let’s get into it.
1. At Home – The Most Personal Option
Why it works:
There’s comfort, convenience, and total creative control. You can plan every detail around your child’s interests—from a dinosaur-themed living room to a backyard water balloon party.
Make it awesome with balloons:
Transform your home into a party zone with balloon arches, name backdrops, character-themed balloon sculptures, and helium bundles. Want minimal effort with max effect? Call in SG Balloons to help plan and set up the decor.
Pro tip:
Keep kids busy with DIY games, a small bouncy castle, or a balloon twisting entertainer. And yes—clean-up will be worth it.
2. Indoor Playgrounds – Fun Sorted, Rain or Shine
Top picks:
Why it works:
Let’s face it: kids love running, jumping, climbing, and sliding. Indoor playgrounds do all the heavy lifting. Most places offer birthday packages, which include food, decorations, and even party hosts.
Make it awesome with balloons:
Even if decor is included, nothing says “birthday party” like personalized balloons. Add a balloon bouquet with your child’s name and age. Giant character balloons (think Elsa, Spider-Man, or Baby Shark) are always a hit.
Pro tip:
Book early—popular venues can fill up fast, especially on weekends.
3. Outdoor Parks – Budget-Friendly and Breezy
Top picks:
Why it works:
If your kid loves the outdoors, this is a solid option. There’s space to run, fresh air, and nature as your backdrop. Bring picnic mats, snacks, and games. And of course—don’t forget the cake.
Make it awesome with balloons:
Use balloon garlands to dress up your picnic setup. You can even bring balloon centerpieces to match the theme—animals, rainbows, or jungle vibes. Weighted helium balloons make great photo spots.
Pro tip:
Always have a backup plan in case of rain (covered shelters help, but they go fast).
4. Restaurants with Party Rooms – Food + Fun
Top picks:
Why it works:
No cooking, no cleaning. Many cafes now have party rooms or play corners, making them ideal for smaller, stylish birthday celebrations. You get great food, kid-friendly vibes, and a cozy space to decorate.
Make it awesome with balloons:
Add some classy balloon columns or a custom balloon wall for that Instagram-worthy backdrop. Balloon table centerpieces and themed helium bundles pull it all together.
Pro tip:
Coordinate colors with the café's decor for a clean, cohesive look.
5. Theme Parks – Big Wow Factor
Top picks:
Why it works:
This one’s for the parents who want to go big. You’re not just throwing a party—you’re giving your kid an entire day of excitement. These parks often have birthday packages, but you can also DIY by gathering a small group of friends and making it a day trip.
Make it awesome with balloons:
Bring along a custom helium bouquet or a wearable balloon accessory (SG Balloons can help with both). These are perfect for photos before you enter the park and make it feel more like a celebration from the get-go.
Pro tip:
Make sure guests know the plan in advance—tickets, meeting points, and how long they’ll be staying.
6. Function Rooms – The Best Blank Canvas
Top picks:
- Condo function rooms
- Community centers
- Rental spaces like Trehaus
Why it works:
You get an empty space that you can make completely your own. It’s perfect for bigger groups or themed parties with activities—face painting, craft stations, bouncy castles.
Make it awesome with balloons:
This is where balloon styling shines. Think: full balloon walls, hanging garlands, customized photo corners, or even balloon drops. SG Balloons can create immersive, show-stopping designs that turn any blank room into party central.
Pro tip:
Plan your layout in advance. Where will the food go? The games? The photo area?
7. Museums and Activity Studios – Smart + Fun
Top picks:
- ArtScience Museum
- Tayo Station
- Pottery, painting, or science activity studios
Why it works:
Great for curious kids who love to explore and create. These venues often offer hands-on workshops, guided activities, and packages that include everything from food to crafts.
Make it awesome with balloons:
Add simple but striking balloon pieces to personalize the space. Balloons with your child’s name, age, or theme colors can turn a cool venue into a true celebration.
Pro tip:
Make sure the activity fits your child’s age group—and attention span.
8. Hotels – For the Luxe Experience
Top picks:
- Capella Singapore (for staycations with style)
- Hotel Fort Canning (great event spaces)
- Shangri-La Singapore (with themed suites!)
Why it works:
Hotels offer great service, elegant spaces, and options for both staycations and events. Ideal if you’re planning something extra special—like a milestone birthday.
Make it awesome with balloons:
Classy balloon decor elevates hotel events. Picture this: a shimmering balloon arch at the suite entrance, elegant chrome and pastel colors, and your kid’s name in lights (or balloons). SG Balloons can match the vibe of any luxury venue.
Pro tip:
Check if the hotel allows external decorators or if they have a preferred vendor list.
9. Animal Farms and Petting Zoos – For the Little Animal Lovers
Top picks:
Why it works:
A great choice for younger kids who love animals. These venues often allow up-close encounters with goats, rabbits, ponies, and more. It’s educational, interactive, and a little different from the usual party scene.
Make it awesome with balloons:
Try animal-themed balloon sculptures, farmyard-style arches, or simple pastel balloon bundles to decorate the party table or picnic area.
Pro tip:
Bring hand sanitizers and sunblock. And maybe some extra clothes—kids + animals = mess (but the good kind).
10. DIY Party Truck or Mobile Party – Bring the Fun to You
Examples:
- Art buses
- Mobile game trucks
- Science experiment vans
Why it works:
You don’t have to go anywhere—the party comes to your doorstep. This works well for condos or landed homes with parking space.
Make it awesome with balloons:
SG Balloons can help you decorate the entrance, driveway, or home space so kids walk into a full birthday scene. Add a custom welcome sign, balloon garland around the truck, or a matching party table setup.
Pro tip:
Ask what’s included in the mobile party and how long they stay. Timing is everything when kids are involved.
Final Thoughts
No matter where you throw the party—at home, in a playground, or on a farm—it’s really about making your kid feel special. The right venue helps, but the little touches are what make it feel magical. That’s where balloons come in. They instantly turn a basic space into a birthday scene. Whether it’s a simple balloon bouquet or a full-on balloon wonderland, the right setup creates memories your child (and you) will never forget.
