  Yes!

  Please be mindful that if your cake contains frosting or icing we may not have any room in our fridges to store it. We, of course try our very best to make room.

• Can I bring my own food?

  We do not allow outside food into the venue, with the exception of birthday cake and take home lolly bags.

  Our party rooms are very funky and fun – they don’t need much! Keep in mind we get the party started pretty quickly – you won’t have much time to set up!

  Decorations permitted: 

  • Balloon bunches / numbers on weights
  • Themed table cloths
  • Themed cups, plates and cutlery

  Decorations NOT permitted: 

  • Decorations that stick onto the walls (including using blutack or command stips) *
  • Balloon Garlands, large backdrops, props, and stands (these are only allowed with the exclusive mezzanine hire. These items can be set up on the mezzanine area but not in the party room due to safety regulation. These items can be set up 30min prior to your event. Subject to availability)

• I’ve got mixed ages. How do I book?

  We have you sorted! Please book all kids in for the same activity when booking (if unsure – book all for Climbing as it is limited capacity). The week of the party- let us know how many children of each age / activity. We’ll then update accordingly.

  Eg.
  12x Climbing Party
  3x Adventure Play Party
  1x Under 2*

  *For ages 2 years and under

  • Meal provided and seat at the table: Book for Adventure Play
  • No meal or seat at the table: General Entry Ticket Price
• Requesting a Party Room

  Unfortunately, we don’t take room requests. All our party rooms are gender-neutral.

  You’ll be allocated a room that comfortably fits all children (usually with a little leeway for parents). Rooms are allocated to the parties the week of the event once all bookings are confirmed.

• Can I reserve tables?

  Tables are only reserved after your event IF you have added Playground Access. This table is reserved for 1hr following your event.

  We unfortunately don’t reserve tables during parties. All rooms are allocated to comfortably fit the number of children attending – with leeway for a similar amount of adults.

  If you have a large number of adults attending – please enquire about Mezzanine Hire (contact us for pricing). *Subject to availability

• Drinks Tabs

  Please set up your drinks tab with your party host or reception on arrival. We’ll require a credit card or debit card to put in safe keeping as a security- but don’t worry we won’t change it until you are ready to finalise the tab.

  You can order drinks through your party host or at the cafe.

• Can adults, siblings, or other attendees participate in the activities?

  We highly recommend booking all participants into the activity at the time of booking. Our centre and activities run on a capacity basis. If you believe that additional people may want to climb on the day this must be pre-booked. We can’t guarantee there will be spots available on or closer to the day.

  Would you like to add climbing for extra guests? Please send us an email at coburg@socialfair.com.au with your existing booking number. Our team can add these on for you.

• Do you cater for allergies?

  Please inform our staff if you are allergic to any ingredients.

  We cannot guarantee the absence of allergens in our dishes. While we try our very best to cater to all dietary requirements, cross-contamination can occur in the kitchen and cooking appliances. Eg. chips are cooked in the same oil that items which contain gluten and/or egg.

• I’m not sure how many children are attending?

  You MUST book for the maximum – you’ll be asked to confirm final amounts 3-4 days before your event. If numbers are reduced from originally booked, they’ll be removed from your booking. You must provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you have a last-minute cancellation.

  • If your numbers increase after you’ve booked please email us at coburg@socialfair.com.au ASAP so we can reserve activity spots (they are limited!).
  • 7 days before your party, you’ll receive an email asking you to confirm the final numbers and food extras.
  • Final numbers and food extras need to be confirmed 3-4 days before your party at 12noon (Wednesday 12noon).
  • Final payment is required 24 hours before your party starts – no further changes to numbers can be made.

  Note: parties are based on activity capacity limits. If you are looking at having more than 25 children attending, please send an inquiry to our team to discuss options.

• Can I order more platters on the day?

  All platters need to be pre-ordered. We can’t guarantee the kitchen will have capacity and/or stock to provide any additional platters on the day.

  Additional drinks can be ordered through the cafe or your party host.

• Can the kids use the Adventure Play in a Climbing Party?

  Adventure Play is NOT included in Climbing Parties

  Extend your party fun by pre-booking ADVENTURE PLAY :

  • $10pp incl Grip Socks for all (if pre-booked for all children- must be added on at least 48hrs before your event, not available on the day or in venue).
  • 1 hour of Adventure Play access to extend play after the party or added attraction in 1 hour activity time.
  • 1 hour reserved table for your guests.
