Organizing a memorable children’s party in Amsterdam or Weesp can be both exciting and challenging. With so many options available, parents want to ensure their kids have an unforgettable experience that is safe, age-appropriate, and budget-friendly. At UP Events Kids, we specialize in creating unique kids parties that go beyond the ordinary, offering everything from VR games to survivor and holiday camps. Here’s your ultimate guide to planning the perfect day out with kids in Amsterdam.
1. Children’s parties in Amsterdam: Trends and possibilities
The landscape of children’s parties in Amsterdam is evolving rapidly. Parents are increasingly seeking unique experiences that combine fun, adventure, and learning. According to recent trends, activities like laser tag, bubbleball, and VR games are among the most popular choices for kids aged 7 and up. These experiences not only entertain but also encourage teamwork, creativity, and physical activity.
At UP Events Kids, we offer a wide range of themed birthday parties starting from €25.02 per person. Our packages are designed to be both exciting and safe, ensuring every child feels included and challenged.
2. Safety and Age-appropriateness: What Parents Should Know
Safety is a top priority for any children’s event. In Amsterdam, local regulations require that all activities are supervised by trained staff and comply with safety standards. For example, activities like archery tag and bubbleball are only suitable for children above a certain age, typically 7 years and older, to ensure everyone can participate safely.
Our team at UP Events Kids is trained to provide a secure environment where children can push their boundaries without risk. We also follow the latest guidelines from the City of Amsterdam regarding food, beverage, and event safety. For more information on local regulations, visit the City of Amsterdam’s official website.
3. Lasergame: Exciting and active
Laser tag remains a favorite for many children’s parties. It’s an action-packed game that encourages teamwork and strategy. Our laser tag experiences are designed for kids aged 7 and up, with equipment and arenas tailored for younger players. The excitement of ducking behind obstacles and outsmarting opponents makes this a top choice for adventurous kids.
4. Bubbleball: Laugh, Roll and Bump
Bubbleball is one of the most unique children’s parties you can organize. Kids climb into giant inflatable bubbles and play soccer or other games, bouncing and rolling in a safe, controlled environment. This activity is perfect for children who love physical play and want to try something truly different.
5. Archery Tag: For the Little Adventurers
Archery tag combines the thrill of dodgeball with the skill of archery. Using soft-tipped arrows, kids compete in teams to score points and eliminate opponents. It’s a fantastic way to develop coordination and teamwork, and it’s suitable for children aged 8 and up.
6. Arcade Games: Classics and New Favorites
Our arcade hall is packed with classic and modern games, including air field hockey, pinball, basketball machines, and the monster smash game. The arcade is a hit with kids who love friendly competition and offers a great indoor option for rainy days.
7. VR Games and Experiences: The Future of Kids’ Parties
Virtual reality is revolutionizing children’s parties. Our VR experiences transport kids to new worlds, letting them solve puzzles, go on adventures, or play interactive games. VR is suitable for children aged 8 and up and is always supervised by our trained staff to ensure safety and comfort.
8. Holiday Camps: More Than Just a Party
During school holidays, we offer special holiday camps where children can make new friends, try new activities, and build confidence. Our camps are designed to be inclusive and challenging, with a mix of outdoor and indoor activities. Parents appreciate the flexibility and peace of mind knowing their children are in good hands.
