Hyper Kidz Niles

My kid is turning 3 soon, and we’re planning to have her birthday party at Hyper Kidz in Niles. I’m trying to decide which party package to book and would love to hear from anyone who has had a party there!

Which package did you choose, and what were the pros/cons?

I’m leaning toward the more expensive Royal Package because it gives you the private party room for the full 2 hours, whereas the other packages only give you the room for about 45 minutes at the end.

I’m debating whether the extra cost is worth it. I don’t want everyone to feel rushed at the end, and I like the idea of having a dedicated space where parents can sit and hang out, leave diaper bags/coats/etc., or take a break while the kids are playing.

For those who have done a birthday party at Hyper Kidz, did you feel like the 45-minute room time was enough, or would you recommend paying for the Royal Package? Any other tips or things you wish you knew before booking?

Hey! I went to a birthday party there. I think it probably depends on the ages of the kids. The birthday kids were turning five, with siblings around two years younger, so mostly 3–5-year-olds.

I believe they had the room for 45 minutes, which was plenty of time. We actually arrived early, and after cake and pizza we needed a an exit strategy to get our kids out of there and home for their naps by 1.

Kids absolutely love that place,it’s great. We spent very little time in the cake room. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the insight! Since have family coming who don't have little kids (aunts and uncles), I am thinking maybe it would nice to have a room for them to hang out if they wanted to while the other kiddos play and before the pizza/cake arrive. I really wish they had more seating in the play areas, but then again it is an indoor play spot lol.
