Planning an outdoor birthday party can feel daunting, but with the right preparation, it’s a breeze. Here’s what parents should keep in mind:
1. Check Local Regulations
Amsterdam’s parks and nature reserves are popular spots for group gatherings. Always check for any required permits or restrictions on group size, especially during peak seasons or special city events. The city’s official website provides up-to-date information on public space usage.

The Dutch weather can be unpredictable! Have a backup plan, such as portable shelters or access to indoor facilities. At UP Events Kids, we offer both indoor and outdoor options to ensure the party goes on, rain or shine.

Safety is our top priority. We maintain strict supervision ratios, provide first aid kits, and ensure all activities are suitable for the age group. Parents are encouraged to discuss any allergies or special needs with us in advance.
4. Make It Sustainable
Eco-friendly parties are not only good for the planet but also teach children valuable lessons. Use reusable or compostable partyware, opt for natural decorations, and encourage guests to travel by bike or public transport. For more tips, check out Milieu Centraal’s guide to sustainable parties.
