When planning a children’s party or group activity, one of the first questions parents ask is: Zijn de feesten geschikt voor groepen van 4+? At UP Events Kids in Amsterdam, the answer is a resounding yes! Our parties and holiday camps are expertly designed to deliver unforgettable experiences for groups of four or more children, ensuring every child feels included, engaged, and safe.

Why Choose Group Parties for Kids Aged 7-14?

Group parties are not just about fun — they’re about building friendships, encouraging teamwork, and creating memories that last a lifetime. According to recent research and Dutch government guidelines, group activities for children aged 7-14 are highly suitable, provided that best practices in safety, supervision, and age-appropriate engagement are followed. In fact, the Netherlands is recognized for its high standards in children’s event safety and its active, social approach to youth activities.

The Benefits of Group Activities

  • Social Development: Kids learn to cooperate, communicate, and resolve conflicts.
  • Physical Activity: Dutch children are among the most active in the world, and group games like Bubbleball and Lasergame keep everyone moving.
  • Memorable Experiences: Unique activities such as VR games and Archery Tag make every event unforgettable.

Our Approach: Safety, Fun, and Flexibility

At UP Events Kids, we combine over 15 years of event planning expertise with a passion for creating safe, exciting environments for children. Here’s how we ensure our feesten are perfect for groups of 4+:

1. Professional Supervision

Every party is led by experienced staff who are trained to engage children and maintain a safe environment. We follow the “four-eyes principle” — ensuring at least two adults are present during activities — to guarantee attentive supervision. Our venues are certified and regularly inspected, meeting all Dutch safety regulations.

2. Age-Appropriate Activities

We offer a wide range of activities tailored to different age groups, including:

  • Lasergame: An adrenaline-filled adventure perfect for teamwork.
  • Bubbleball: Hilarious and safe, suitable for all energy levels.
  • Archery Tag: Combines skill and fun in a safe, controlled setting.
  • Arcade Games: Classic fun for everyone, rain or shine.
  • VR Experiences: Cutting-edge adventures for tech-loving kids.

We also offer themed parties, escape challenges like The Wild West Escape Challenge, and traditional Archery for those who love a challenge.

3. Flexible Indoor and Outdoor Venues

Our locations in Amsterdam West and Weesp feature both indoor and outdoor facilities, so your party can go ahead whatever the weather. We follow strict hygiene protocols and offer flexible rescheduling in case of extreme conditions.

4. Transparent Policies and Parental Involvement

We maintain clear policies on group sizes, bookings, and supervision. Parents are encouraged to communicate any allergies or special needs in advance, and we’re always happy to discuss how we can tailor the experience to your group.

What Makes Our Group Parties Stand Out?

Personalization: We believe every group is unique. Whether your child dreams of a superhero party or a tech adventure, we can customize the experience.

Teamwork and Inclusion: Our activities are designed to foster teamwork and ensure every child feels included, regardless of their skill level.

Safety First: We comply with all Dutch government regulations, including the Building Decree 2012 and GGD health and safety standards. Our venues provide at least 3.5 m² of indoor play space per child and have robust emergency protocols.

Expert Staff: Our team is passionate about creating positive, memorable experiences. As one of our event leaders says, “Professional supervision is non-negotiable. Every party is led by experienced staff who know how to engage children while keeping them safe.”

Holiday Camps: The Ultimate Group Experience

Looking for more than just a party? Our holiday camps during school breaks offer the perfect opportunity for kids to make new friends, push their boundaries, and enjoy a wide range of activities in a safe, supportive environment.

Each camp is structured to ensure every child is included, with plenty of group activities that encourage cooperation and creativity.

Practical Tips for Parents Planning Group Parties

Organizing a group party can feel overwhelming, but with the right preparation, it’s a breeze! Here are some expert-backed tips:

  • Book Early: Popular dates fill up fast, especially for larger groups.
  • Communicate Needs: Let us know about allergies, dietary restrictions, or special requirements.
  • Choose Inclusive Activities: Pick games and challenges that everyone can enjoy.
  • Plan for All Weather: Opt for venues with both indoor and outdoor options.
  • Involve Your Child: Ask your child and their friends what activities excite them most.
  • Maintain a Manageable Group Size: While our parties are suitable for 4+, we recommend keeping groups at a size that allows for effective supervision and maximum fun.
