A basic party includes private use of the space and touch tanks, and staff to help with party set-up and take-down; add-ons include decorations, individualized animal presentations, storytimes, and more. One flat fee includes up to 65 kids, making “the whole class” (plus siblings and parents!) an affordable option.

2. Santa Monica Pier Carousel — Santa Monica
If your kids would rather spin and spin than hang with the marine biologists, a party just upstairs from the Aquarium can focus on another Santa Monica classic. The historic carousel remains open to the public during most parties, but the birthday crowd gets a private roped-off area and unlimited rides on the merry-go-round for up to 30 kids. For a little extra, each kid gets a token for an ice cream sundae at the Soda Jerks old-fashioned ice cream fountain that shares space with the Carousel.

3. Pamper & Play — West LA
Pamper & Play in West LA is a great choice for parties geared towards smaller children.

Kids can use the trampoline, play house, play structure, and more. One special feature from Pamper & Play is that parties include play supervisors, who lead the kids in games and activities of your choosing, which can range from parachute games to arts and crafts to cupcake decorating. Even better for the grown-ups is a Parent Lounge that’s 100% kid-free, so adult guests can relax in some peace and quiet as the party rages downstairs.

Even More Indoor Kids’ Birthday Party Places
Once we started thinking about the best indoor party spots in LA, it was hard to stop! Los Angeles has museums, skating venues, and recreation rooms at your local parks. So let these additional suggestions get your creative juices flowing for places where you could host the perfect indoor party for your little one.
19. Museums
Don’t forget to check local museums when looking for innovative party ideas; most of our local museums offer fun, educational options. Some of the best ones to check for kids parties are the California Science Center (which doesn’t offer a party package, but will help you make a reservation for your whole group), the Discovery Cube (only the LA Campus is currently offering birthday parties), and Pretend City.
20. Ice Skating Parties
LA has more skating rinks than most people realize, and every rink offers birthday party packages. Parties can range in price from $125 to $875, depending on the rink, private vs. public, and how much staff you require. Skating parties offer plenty of exercise to burn off the cake and pizza, and a simulated winter experience for us winter lightweights in the Southland. Some of the best in the area include Iceland Ice Skating Rink, the Toyota Performance Center, and the LA Kings Valley Ice Center.
21. Retro Roller Skating Parties
Ice rinks too cold for you? You might be surprised to know how many roller rinks there are around LA, playing tunes from our childhoods and offering a chance to strap on four wheels and take to the boards. This one is great for all ages and doesn’t need to cost a lot.
22. Public Parks
Yes, it’s possible to have a terrific indoor party at a public park, and it’s generally a very affordable option. Most local parks have recreation centers with rooms available for party rental, and many of these spaces have more character than you might think. Take a spin around your part of town to see what you find; recreation centers sometimes require a little extra red tape to book, but they’re usually not expensive.
