Next Level Bergen County Birthday Parties for your Awesome Kid

 / 

It’s not like you don’t WANT to host birthday parties for your kids, It’s just that you want to do something fun and different from the last dozen parties your kids have attended and you’re fresh out of ideas. Never fear, there are a bunch of new and creative places for Bergen County birthday parties where your child can have the party of their dreams, at least until next year!

For the Crafty Kid:

Clay, Paper, Scissors

Tired of turning your kitchen counters into a slime workshop? Got a kid who loves to sew, make or create? Host their party at Clay, Paper, Scissors, a creative makerspace in Oradell. Choose from their suggested birthday party projects or work with them to customize a project that truly represents your little crafter. Parties start at $300 for 10 kids. Everything is provided but the cake. 380 Kinderkamack Road, Oradell, 917.721.3470. 

 

AR Workshop Ridgewood

This boutique DIY studio offers instructor-led, hands-on birthday parties where your birthday kid and their friends can create custom wood signs, photo frames, wall hangings, pillows, totes or specialty holiday crafts. Project supplies are provided, party hosts are in charge of food and drinks. 44 Franklin Avenue, Ridgewood, 201.408.0418

Ample Hills

Learn to make ice cream the old-fashioned way at this two-hour private party. Your child picks their flavor, then their guests take turns hopping on the one-of-a-kind ice cream churning bicycle, and pedaling. Guests learn about the process of making ice cream and then, while the ice cream is hardening, kids will create a craft of their choice. The party ends when party-goers make waffle sundaes and devour the ice cream they had a hand (or, in this case, foot) in making. 200 Greene Street, Jersey City. Contact parties@amplehills.comfor more information.
