Among one of the most asked questions I get from my readers is "Where are the best places to have Birthday Parties for Kids in Orange County." Besides all of the the great parks and beaches here in the OC, Orange County also has lots of places that will host your child's birthday party.
Beckie
you miss one of our favorite birthday party we have had so far, Erik Nelsen surf camp birthday party in Newport Beach! My son's 7th birthday was with them and everyone surfed, and had a blast! Agnes were 5-9 at the party!!!
Jill
I'll be sure to add it!
Emmanuelle
What a nice list, very well done! To save for sure,
!
Molly Matz
You miss another place for kid's birthday party is Gameworks. we arranged birthday party for my daughter's 5 th birthday. Party Platters for kids with plenty to do to keep all ages occupied.
Jasmine
Looove this list! I am not from California so it was so nice to see such a comprehensive list!! Kudos Super Mom!!
alecia
Thank you for making this extraordinary list! My son will be turning 4 years old soon and I think you have enough ideas on this page for me to plan parties until he is 15. Amazing and awesome!
Cal Driver
Thanks so much for this post! I'd so much rather peruse this page than scroll through endless listings of related companies. This is a great one-stop resource. Thanks for the research and care you put into making this list.
LeAnn
Hi. Nice list! Here's a few notes based on our experience....
We have had parties at:
1. My Gym in Yorba Linda. Really great for kids 3 years-old and under. My Gym's strong point is their energetic staff who organize and direct activities throughout the party. Non-stop fun. Best for a smaller party - under 20 kids.
2. Seascape Kidsfun - very organized party staff makes mom's job easy. Kids had a blast. Highly recommend.
We have attended parties at
Bounce U and Pump it Up - they do the work for you - the staff seemed well organized. Kids had a great time.
Irvine Railroad is a beautiful park setting - requires parents to rent Bounce house, bring food, etc. 3 year-olds really got excited about the train ride. Great for times of the year with good weather.
Santa Ana Zoo - you can spend the day at the zoo after the 2 hour party time. Zoo has a playground, merry go round and train. The collection of animals is not extensive like the San Diego zoo - SA Zoo has monkies, reptiles, farm animals, birds, turtles, llamas and camels. (Note. the Zoo is located in the city of Santa Ana.)
Gymboree - The staff was really nice. I would recommend for 2 years-old and younger as their play equipment is geared toward younger children.
Carin
Just curious---why are you clarifying that the Santa Ana Zoo is in the City of Santa Ana? Isn't that implied?
Jill
Consistency. I have the city on all the other listings.
Jamie
It says the Santa Ana Zoo is in San Juan, no biggie. I am sure everyone can find it. Great list! Rockin’ Jump has opened since this list, and it is awesome too! (Trampoline park)
Paul
lol this would be a Karen response
Haleh
Any ideas on where in OC to have a 5 year old beach birthday party, somewhere with a table to set up and easy beach access.? Thanks.
Robyn
Marina Park in Newport Beach!
Danielle
Newport Dunes, Newport Beach
Lauren Martinez
Black star equestrian at the Huntington Central Park equestrian center offers kids birthday parties. It was a blast for my 4 year old. All the kids got to ride the horses, plus a craft and then painted the horses with water based paint. She had a great time!
I'm looking forward to using one of these suggestions for next year!
Jessica Rodriguez
Great list! My daughter is turning 1 in August and I wanted to have a beach birthday party. I'm looking for beaches in the OC where I could have the party but I would like a covered area or place where I could reserve. Do you know of anything?
Jacklyn Wurtz
Mothers beach in long beach is a must! Mellow water. Lots of restrooms. Play structures.
danielle
that is always nice, and Newport Dunes for when a little older!
Priya
Thank you SO much for this list it's awesome!! Definitely a go-to resource for an OC Mom <3 <3 <3
It would be awesome to have parks or beach areas that are especially ideal for birthday parties.
Also, I clicked on the Laserquest link and it seems their locations are not Irvine/FV but Chino, Fullerton and Mission Viejo. Just so you know 🙂
Thanks again for this great resource!
Veronica
Love this list! I have one that you definitely will want to add on......Storymakery in Irvine! Had my daughters 4th bday there and they were amazing and my book loving & creative daughter absolutely loved it!
Mary coleman
What a great resource for the 6-7 year old and under. I need big help with our 13 year old daughter's Birthday party about 20 little ladies and gentlemen. Trying to do this for about 350.00. Thank you,
Teresa
Rock climbing or movies.
adam
Great list, is there any teams in orange country that would throw like a sports party for 9 year olds in a park? Like sports challenges and games, like soccer goal, football, baseball challenges if we have the park and they have the equipment?
Tiffanie F
I know this post is old but just in case try Core Athletic training. They do a lot of school programs and after school programs - probably something they could help with.
Regina
Heads Up! Tustin Lanes is permanently closed.
Michelle
We have had parties at Fountain Valley Skate, Scooters Jungle, and Seascape, We loved our experience at all places. The kids had a blast and the parents got to enjoy because all the work is done for you. Scooters in Anaheim Hills the party room is a little small but the play area is huge!! So its a give a take. Seascape does face painting as well. They just opened a Glow Zone in Huntington Beach as well that does parties. I have not been yet but have had friends say it is pretty cool. My twins are going to be 8 this year so all these places still work for me. Roller skating party was a big hit as well and you can have a lot of kids for a cost effective party!

What places would you recommend for a boy turning 3? We did Chuck e cheese last year, so I wanted to do something a little bigger. He has ZERO friends so he would be the only child. We're going to go for a Spongebob theme this year too, so it would be great if I got to bring my own decorations! Plus his birthday is October 19th, so close to halloween

You have to add the place- once upon an island. All Disney princess parties in balboa. Super special and amazing. Just being in the presence of theses princesses will blow your little girls socks off! Check it out

Hi,
Live the list! Where did you take the family photo with the blue door?
Tanya
Unfortunately Howies is closing 🙁 I tried booking a date for my son’s party but was informed both locations are closing. Any chance you could find another place like this?

Awesome list! Thank you for putting this together Jill! We recently signed up for a birthday party at an indoor swim school that just opened. Its called " Goldfish Swim School". I love that you can host a private party and its just our guests. My son loves water and i am glad I can host his winter birthday in a heated indoor swimming pool. Its a beautiful and a very kids friendly location. Everything is new and well thought out. My son has very sensitive skin... love that the chlorine is generated from salt. We just went there for a free family swim. Absolutely loved it!

I just spoke with Oceanquest OC and they do not offer birthday parties.????

Hello- any birthday party ideas at the park, given that it's Covid? Looking for a vendor that sets up a birthday experience at the park. Aside from a bounce house or laser tag, any other vendors out there that would come to the park? Thanks!
Jackie
I’m interested in your question too! What did you end up doing? Looking for outdoor ideas, thank you!
Stephanie
Have either you heard from any one? Curious about this as well.

I’m not sure why the title says (2023) because all of these prices and packages are out of date. Many of them are double the price listed. Helpful for ideas but information is mostly all wrong.
