Explore fun kids birthday party venues in Chicago

Birthday parties are fun for all ages but especially for kids. They get to celebrate the turning of a new year, delight in gifts to open, and enjoy food and games with their friends. Chicago birthday party venues for kids cover everything from outdoor sports venues to indoor video game arcades. Staff to assist with catering, set up, music, and most importantly, clean up, are often a part of the birthday party package. Fun birthday party venues can even be educational. Kids' science labs, museums, and art galleries have kid-centric displays with lightning balls, drawing tables, and other fun activities. Many can even be rented for hours-long private events like birthdays. Giving your kids complete access to the science lab games and educational displays for as long as they like.

Discover the best places to have a kids birthday party in Chicago

Chicago is full of exotic and exciting places to have a kids birthday party but here's something to think about. Do you want to share space with the public during your kid's birthday party? Or are you looking for a private room or event rental? Private event rentals ensure there's more than enough toys, balls, bowling lanes, video games, and other things to do for every kid in the party. Not to mention less time standing in line waiting for refills on snacks and drinks. So what do your kids love to do? Laser Tag is a game that's fun for kids of all ages. Misty mazes, laser guns, and light-up vests to target make Laser Tag a blast for energetic kids looking to run around before sitting down for cake and ice cream. Bowling alleys are a classic choice and most carry food and drinks as well as shoe rental. Chicago video game arcades like Chicago Gamespace offer everything from classic 70's standup arcade games to 90's console gaming. Even the adults of the group will find something fun to do with so many classic hit games.
