What is included in all party packages?

All of our party packages are for private events only. This means your party will have exclusive access to Bumblebee Playspace.

All of our party packages also include one backdrop from our complimentary backdrop selection, one round table for gifts, one 6' rectangular table for backdrop/display, and one smaller rectangular table for party favors. All tables come with white linen tablecloth.

What is the difference between DIY and non-DIY party package?

Aside from one complimentary backdrop and the three tables provided for gifts, display, and party favors, the party host is responsible for the party decor and supplies for DIY parties. DIY party packages are given a complimentary 15-minute setup time.

Non-DIY options (The Honeycomb & The HIve party packages) include napkins, plates, cups, eating utensils (not serving utensils), solid-colored table coverings for dining tables, and decor.

Can I drop off supplies beforehand?

Supplies can be dropped off during our open hours on the immediate Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday before the party event date (please check calendar as sometimes we are closed for private events). Supplies include items such as utensils, non-perishable food and drinks, decor items, etc. No large, heavy, or bulky items such as furniture and assembled backdrop displays for drop-off. When in doubt, please ask us first before you come. All party supplies must be pre-labeled with the name of whoever made the party reservation.

Where are the eating areas and how many people can be seated at one time?

There are two rooms available for dining areas during parties. The snack room can seat approximately 24-28 people. The art room can seat 18-22 people. The art room is more suitable for children as the tables and chairs are children’s tables and chairs.

Where can the cake and desserts be displayed?

The cake and desserts can either be displayed with the backdrop in the front room on our 6-foot rectangular table or in one of the dining rooms.

Is there a fridge/freezer to store the cake?

We have a fridge where the cake can be stored. Our fridge dimensions is 14.5” by 19” with a height of 21”. Keep in mind that even if the cake itself fits in the fridge, it may not fit with its packaging on. Our freezer can only fit a small ice cream cake. We cannot store the cake before the party time slot, only during the actual party time as we typically have multiple parties in one day.

Can I have more guests than the party maximum guest?

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate more guests that what is specified in the party package. We designed the party packages with a maximum guest limit with reasons in mind, including our facility’s occupancy limit, safety, and party flow.

Having large crowds that exceed our maximum guest count will be hazardous for children at play and will affect our staff’s ability to maintain a safe and clean environment and ultimately, underserve our guests.

We strive to deliver a quality product at every single party, and keeping the guest count within the specified limits will allow us to serve you better.

Are there any limitations on the type of food I can bring?

No alcohol and no nuts. We try to keep our facility safe for those with nut-allergies.

If the child count for ages 1-10 exceed the number included in the party package, when do I pay for additional child guests?

Additional children ages 1-10 outside of what is included in the party package will be $12/additional child. As we check-in guests, we will do a final guest count of those who attended and will notify the party host, who will then pay at our front desk at the party’s end.

We only charge for children who attend the party; we do not charge for children who do not show up.

Can I hire outside vendors?

Please let us know ASAP if you are considering hiring outside vendors, preferable at least 3 weeks in advance. This way, should we be unable to accommodate a vendor, we can let you know and can suggest adjustments to your party plans. Vendors need to be approved by us and are required to clean up after themselves.

Party hosts are responsible for any damages or messes caused by the party hosts’ vendors and are subject to cleaning or damage fees associated. If there are performers, we require performers to either remove shoes or wear shoe coverings. Shoes (even with shoe coverings) are not allowed in the infant room.

What if my guest forgets to sign the waiver or wear appropriate socks?

Not a problem! We will have a QR code ready for your guests to scan and sign the waiver if needed. Socks are available for purchase for $3/pair at our front desk. Either the guest or the party host can pay for the socks. Just let us know beforehand if you would prefer to cover any sock charges for your guests.
