Organizing a VR kids party in the Netherlands is an exciting way to create unforgettable memories for children aged 7 to 14. As technology-driven experiences become increasingly popular, parents in Amsterdam and Weesp are seeking creative, safe, and age-appropriate ways to celebrate birthdays and special occasions. At UP Events Kids, we specialize in delivering immersive VR parties that combine fun, teamwork, and adventure — all within a safe and supervised environment.

Why Choose a VR Kids Party?

Virtual reality (VR) parties are a growing trend in the Netherlands, especially in urban areas like Amsterdam. Dutch parents value experiences that are not only entertaining but also educational and active. VR parties check all these boxes by offering:

  • Immersive gameplay that sparks imagination
  • Teamwork and communication opportunities
  • A safe, supervised environment
  • Memorable, tech-driven fun

According to recent trends, VR parties are in high demand, with many venues reporting full bookings during weekends and school holidays. The novelty and immersive nature of VR make these parties a talking point among both children and parents.

Age-Appropriate Fun: What Parents Need to Know

Most VR centers in the Netherlands, including UP Events Kids, recommend a minimum age of 8 for group VR parties. Some games are best suited for ages 10 and up due to their complexity or content. We carefully curate our VR experiences to ensure they are suitable for children between 7 and 14, focusing on cooperative adventures, creative challenges, and non-violent gameplay.

Popular VR Games and Experiences

Our VR party packages include a variety of games designed to engage and excite:

  • Cooperative adventures where kids solve puzzles together
  • Creative exploration games that encourage discovery
  • Competitive but friendly challenges for older children
