The minimum number of children required is 6 . If you have 5 children and you plan to eat at the Energyplex then it’s still a better deal to pay for 6 children because there is food and drinks included in your party package. If you have 4 kids or less children, it is a better deal to do a drop in instead. Please be aware that in this case you cannot bring in your own cake.

A child we invited will have a sibling joining the party. Do I have to pay the party package price for them as well?

Yes, for all children attending the party the party package rate applies. Children under the age of one are free of charge.

What happens if one of my guests is late?

After payment, at the start of the party, you will receive wristbands for all the children. If one of them is late, please leave the wristband for that child at the front desk so we can hand it over as soon as the child arrives.

Do I get my money back if a child doesn’t show up at my party?

Yes, at the end of the party as long as you have met the requirements:

  • You had the minimum number of children for your party package.
  • You return the child’s unused wristband and the coupon for the slushie.
