I sense the need for a short series of articles dealing with "How to Prepare for a Magic Show." Beginners especially will hopefully benefit from the tips presented.
The young magician just starting out will no doubt feel the compulsion to string some tricks together and present them to an audience. He/she will need to know how to prepare for a Magic Show.
First of all, let's look at the tricks you have in your repertoire.
Do you have enough tricks?
Do you have variety?
Will they suit your audience?
1. It's a good question. How many tricks should you have in a Magic Show? There's no hard and fast rule for this.It depends on a number of factors, eg: the length you prefer for your show, whether you speak or have music playing, the pace of your performance, etc.
As a general rule, you can work on three minutes for each trick. This is an ideal time frame if you have 'patter' (ie: speech) to accompany the tricks. Much longer than three minutes may test the patience of your audience.
In the case of 'non-patter' you will finish the trick sooner than three minutes. (Don't try to stretch the trick too thinly, or again the audience may become bored and their minds wander.)
Having patter allows you much more freedom. You can joke, misdirect and otherwise pad a trick. This is harder to do without patter, so you'd need to cram more substance into your act, and so fill out the spaces.
For your first show, aim for 15-20 minutes duration. This way, 6 or 7 tricks at three minutes each

In considering how to prepare for a Magic Show, 'focussed practice' should not be overlooked.
In every trick, there is what I call a 'crisis point'. This is the crucial moment where the trick is actually made to happen. Once you pass this point the magic is done, and the rest is smooth sailing to its conclusion.
Take, for example, the Ball and Vase. The ball is taken, and is made to disappear. It re-appears inside the vase. The crisis point in this example is having the ball disappear. It needs to be done in such a way as to convince the audience that magic has just occurred.
What happens before and after this point is much less important. Therefore, the crisis point requires 'focussed practice'. Spend more time practicing this particular move than with the rest of the trick, which is fairly simple by comparison.
Look through your collection of tricks, and pick out the 'crisis point' for each. Then, when practicing, apply that focussed practice to the troublesome crisis point. You can use this same principle for any moments of a trick which you find awkward to handle.
By the way, speaking of awkward moments, you don't need to stick rigidly to the instructions. Treat instructions as a recommended way of working and presenting a trick. If you're having trouble with a trick in the way the instructions suggest, don't be afraid to try something different.
It may be more comfortable for you to use the opposite hand to that mentioned. It may feel better to you to reverse a trick, so instead of using a 'Flip Box' to disappear an object, show it empty and produce the object. That's the beauty of Magic. It's an art, and as such it allows you to be creative.
It's helpful to know how to prepare for a Magic Show, because being prepared ensures a smooth presentation, and this puts your audience at ease in your company.

Consider Your Child's Interests and Preferences
The first and foremost consideration when choosing a kids' party venue is your child's interests and preferences. Think about what your child loves and enjoys – whether it's sports, arts and crafts, animals, or adventure. Choosing a venue that aligns with your child's passions will ensure a higher level of excitement and engagement throughout the party.
Location and Accessibility
The location of the party venue is crucial for the convenience of both parents and young guests. Opt for a venue that is easily accessible and not too far from your home or the majority of attendees' residences. Consider traffic conditions and the availability of public transportation options if needed. A centrally located venue can help reduce travel-related stress for everyone involved.
Size and Capacity
The size and capacity of the party venue are important factors to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Make sure the venue can accommodate the number of children and adults you plan to invite. A venue that is too small may lead to overcrowding and discomfort, while a venue that is too large might make the atmosphere feel lackluster.
Safety and Security
When hosting a children's party, safety should be a top priority. Choose a venue that is child-friendly and equipped with necessary safety features, such as childproofing measures, first aid kits, and clear emergency exits. Additionally, inquire about the venue's policies regarding staff background checks and supervision during the event.
Facilities and Amenities
The facilities and amenities offered by the venue can significantly enhance the party experience. Look for a venue that provides age-appropriate entertainment options, such as play areas, games, and activities that will keep the children engaged and entertained throughout the celebration. Access to clean restroom facilities and ample parking space for parents is also important.
Catering and Food Options
Food is an integral part of any celebration, especially when it comes to kids' parties. Inquire about the catering and food options available at the venue. Some venues offer a range of menus specifically designed for children, while others allow you to bring in your own food. Be mindful of any dietary restrictions or allergies that your child or the guests may have.
Theme and Decor
Selecting a venue that complements the party theme and allows for creative decor is a great way to enhance the ambiance of the celebration. Discuss with the venue staff about their policies regarding decorations and themes. Some venues may have restrictions on certain types of decorations, so it's important to clarify these details in advance.
Budget Considerations
Budget is a significant factor when planning a kids' party. Determine your budget before you start searching for venues and make sure to inquire about all potential costs, including the venue rental fee, additional services, and any hidden charges. Remember that while you want to provide an unforgettable experience, it's essential to stay within your financial means.
Reviews and Recommendations
Before finalizing your decision, take some time to read reviews and seek recommendations from other parents who have hosted parties at the venue. Their experiences and insights can provide valuable information about the venue's suitability for kids' parties. Online platforms and parenting forums can be excellent resources for gathering this feedback.
Flexibility and Customization
Every child is unique, and so are their party preferences. Choose a venue that offers flexibility and customization options, allowing you to tailor the party to your child's specific interests and needs. Whether it's incorporating a favorite character, organizing special games, or creating a personalized party schedule, a venue that accommodates these requests can contribute to a truly memorable celebration.
In conclusion, choosing the perfect kids' party venue in Australia involves careful consideration of your child's interests, safety, amenities, and budget. By taking these factors into account and conducting thorough research, you can ensure a joyful and unforgettable celebration that will be cherished by your child and their friends for years to come. Happy party planning!

Is your child's birthday just around the corner? Are you wondering how to make it a special and stress-free day for your little one? Well, you're in the right place! Planning a birthday party for kids can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, but when you choose an indoor play center as your party venue, you're already halfway to success. In this article, we'll share some valuable tips to ensure a fantastic and stress-free celebration for your child's birthday at one of Australia's Indoor Play Centers.
1. Choosing the Right Play Center
The first step in planning a stress-free birthday party is to choose the right indoor play center. In Australia, you're spoiled for choice with a variety of options. Look for a play center that offers age-appropriate activities, a clean and safe environment, and convenient facilities for parents and children. Many indoor play centers in Australia provide various party packages, making the planning process even more straightforward.

2. Early Planning Is Key
Planning ahead is essential to ensure everything goes smoothly on the big day. Start planning your child's birthday party at least a few months in advance. This will give you ample time to select a date, send out invitations, and make any necessary arrangements with the play center. By planning early, you can secure your preferred date and time, which can be particularly crucial during peak party seasons.
3. Invitations and RSVPs
Sending out invitations to your child's friends well in advance is a great way to ensure a successful turnout. Opt for digital invitations to make the process more eco-friendly and convenient for parents. Include all the necessary details, such as the date, time, location, and any special instructions or theme for the party. Don't forget to ask for RSVPs; this will help you plan for the right number of guests and ensure a hassle-free experience.
4. Catering and Food Options
One of the significant advantages of hosting your child's birthday party at an indoor play center is that many of them offer catering options. This can save you time and effort when it comes to preparing food for the party. Check with the play center for their menu options and any dietary considerations. Most play centers provide a mix of kid-friendly options like pizza, chicken nuggets, and fruit platters.
5. Entertainment and Activities
Indoor play centers are designed to keep children entertained for hours. However, you can enhance the experience by incorporating additional activities or entertainment. Consider hiring a clown, magician, or face painter to add an extra layer of excitement to the party. Some play centers may also have special attractions like mini-golf, laser tag, or arcade games that can be included in your package.
6. Party Themes
Kids love themes! Choosing a theme for the birthday party can make it even more exciting for your child and their friends. Whether it's superheroes, princesses, animals, or a favorite movie character, a well-thought-out theme can set the tone for the entire celebration. Don't forget to coordinate decorations, party favors, and even costumes if your chosen play center allows it.
7. Party Favors
Party favors are a great way to thank your child's friends for attending the party. Keep it simple with small items like stickers, coloring books, or themed toys. This is not only a gesture of appreciation but also a fun memory for your child's guests to take home. It's a win-win!
8. Communicate with Parents
Clear communication is vital when planning a kids' birthday party. Be sure to inform parents of the play center's location, any specific requirements (like socks for kids or adults), and the approximate end time of the party. It's also a good idea to ask parents if their child has any allergies or special needs to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all attendees.
9. Capture the Moments
Don't forget to document the special day! Take lots of pictures and even consider hiring a professional photographer if you want high-quality shots. These photos will be cherished memories for you and your child, and you can share them with the guests and their parents as well.
10. Stay Relaxed and Enjoy
Last but not least, remember to enjoy the day! Your child's birthday is a special occasion, and the most important thing is to celebrate, have fun, and create lasting memories. Let the play center staff handle the logistics while you focus on making your child feel like the star of the show.
In conclusion, hosting your child's birthday party at an indoor play center is a fantastic way to create a memorable and stress-free celebration. By choosing the right center, planning ahead, and incorporating these tips, you can ensure a fun and unforgettable experience for your child, their friends, and yourself. So, go ahead, book that indoor play center, and get ready to throw the best birthday party your child has ever had! Happy celebrating!

Is your child's birthday just around the corner? Are you wondering how to make it a special and stress-free day for your little one? Well, you're in the right place! Planning a birthday party for kids can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, but when you choose an indoor play center as your party venue, you're already halfway to success. In this article, we'll share some valuable tips to ensure a fantastic and stress-free celebration for your child's birthday at one of Australia's Indoor Play Centers.
1. Choosing the Right Play Center
The first step in planning a stress-free birthday party is to choose the right indoor play center. In Australia, you're spoiled for choice with a variety of options. Look for a play center that offers age-appropriate activities, a clean and safe environment, and convenient facilities for parents and children. Many indoor play centers in Australia provide various party packages, making the planning process even more straightforward.

2. Early Planning Is Key
Planning ahead is essential to ensure everything goes smoothly on the big day. Start planning your child's birthday party at least a few months in advance. This will give you ample time to select a date, send out invitations, and make any necessary arrangements with the play center. By planning early, you can secure your preferred date and time, which can be particularly crucial during peak party seasons.
3. Invitations and RSVPs
Sending out invitations to your child's friends well in advance is a great way to ensure a successful turnout. Opt for digital invitations to make the process more eco-friendly and convenient for parents. Include all the necessary details, such as the date, time, location, and any special instructions or theme for the party. Don't forget to ask for RSVPs; this will help you plan for the right number of guests and ensure a hassle-free experience.
4. Catering and Food Options
One of the significant advantages of hosting your child's birthday party at an indoor play center is that many of them offer catering options. This can save you time and effort when it comes to preparing food for the party. Check with the play center for their menu options and any dietary considerations. Most play centers provide a mix of kid-friendly options like pizza, chicken nuggets, and fruit platters.
5. Entertainment and Activities
Indoor play centers are designed to keep children entertained for hours. However, you can enhance the experience by incorporating additional activities or entertainment. Consider hiring a clown, magician, or face painter to add an extra layer of excitement to the party. Some play centers may also have special attractions like mini-golf, laser tag, or arcade games that can be included in your package.
6. Party Themes
Kids love themes! Choosing a theme for the birthday party can make it even more exciting for your child and their friends. Whether it's superheroes, princesses, animals, or a favorite movie character, a well-thought-out theme can set the tone for the entire celebration. Don't forget to coordinate decorations, party favors, and even costumes if your chosen play center allows it.
7. Party Favors
Party favors are a great way to thank your child's friends for attending the party. Keep it simple with small items like stickers, coloring books, or themed toys. This is not only a gesture of appreciation but also a fun memory for your child's guests to take home. It's a win-win!
8. Communicate with Parents
Clear communication is vital when planning a kids' birthday party. Be sure to inform parents of the play center's location, any specific requirements (like socks for kids or adults), and the approximate end time of the party. It's also a good idea to ask parents if their child has any allergies or special needs to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all attendees.
9. Capture the Moments
Don't forget to document the special day! Take lots of pictures and even consider hiring a professional photographer if you want high-quality shots. These photos will be cherished memories for you and your child, and you can share them with the guests and their parents as well.
10. Stay Relaxed and Enjoy
Last but not least, remember to enjoy the day! Your child's birthday is a special occasion, and the most important thing is to celebrate, have fun, and create lasting memories. Let the play center staff handle the logistics while you focus on making your child feel like the star of the show.
In conclusion, hosting your child's birthday party at an indoor play center is a fantastic way to create a memorable and stress-free celebration. By choosing the right center, planning ahead, and incorporating these tips, you can ensure a fun and unforgettable experience for your child, their friends, and yourself. So, go ahead, book that indoor play center, and get ready to throw the best birthday party your child has ever had! Happy celebrating!

["long_descritpion"]=>
string(309) "Every year your child’s birthday party seem to become an event that has bigger and better expectations every year. The same predicament flies through your head “should I have it at home and risk children flying everywhere and making a huge mess or should I host it out of the house that may cost more?”."

It’s that time of the year again .. ..yes, your child’s birthday is around the corner and you haven’t planned anything yet.
Every year your childs birthday party seem to become an event that has bigger and better expectations every year. The same predicament flies through your head should I have it at home and risk children flying everywhere and making a huge mess or should I host it out of the house that may cost more?
1) Remember your budget, and stick to it
It’s important not to lose sight of your budget. Don’t let the party get bigger than your wallet. Usually you think that by having the party at home you are saving costs, but by the end of the day, you realise you have overspent, exhausted, and have a huge mess to contend with. You’ll be surprised at how cost effective and easy throwing a party off-site can be. Start off by working out how much you actually want to spend on the party before you do anything else. Keep those expectations close to you from start to finish and if you feel you are going over in one area, reign in financially on another."
["content"]=>
string(2152) "
2) Organise the party outside
Every child and parent loves being outside in fresh air. Firstly, it’s healthy and usually includes some form of exercise for the kids. It’s also a hassle-free alternative to hosting it inside your home, when more often time than not, the clean-up process could be a lot longer than the party itself! 15 kids under 5 running through your home could get messy so wear the kids out by playing games outside.
A couple of ideas could be a round of Mini Golf or how about hiring a jumping castle? These are both outside and stress free activities… whilst you and the parents sit back and enjoy that second (or third!) piece of cake.
3) What does your child want?
Kids have big imaginations, so be specific when asking your child what they want out of their party. Ask them what theme they’d like everything to be or what they’d like to do with their friends. Answering questions like these will give you an idea of what’s really important and stimulate ideas for venue, invitation and food options. Jumping castle’s, dodgem cars, or a trampoline centre could be ideas to put forth.
4) Make a bullet point list!!
Writing a list will help you sort out logistics, what you need, how many etc. Party favours,
decorations, guest list, invitations and presents – all these things that make your party come to life are important, but easily forgotten.
5) Have fun
Probably the most important point! The party isn’t a day for you to be pulling your hair out. Now that all the nitty-gritty of the planning process is complete, sit back and watch your party masterpiece play out, with cake in hand, and enjoy your child growing that year older.

A magician is a great way to entertain children at birthdays, parties, fetes and other events.
Magicians perform magic tricks and games that enthral and dazzle the curious minds of kids.
Are you planning a spectacular show for your kids?
"
["content"]=>
string(2873) "
Will Your Kids Enjoy Magicians at Their Parties?
Do your kids love magic? When you are planning your next party, why not hire a professional magician? Party magicians are entertainers who can visit your party and perform a number of magic tricks for your child and their guests. Skilled at the art of illusion and misdirection, professional magicians entertain and excite with tricks that often involve disappearance and re-appearance. Party Games and other fun activities for kids can all be employed to delight and entertain your guests.
Benefits of hiring a professional magician include:
Less stress for you - having an entertainer means parents can relax and enjoy the show with their kids.
No need to organize party games - your magician will have a number of kids' activities and games to keep everyone busy and entertained.
Fun - your child and their friends will have a memorable party. Using a mix of magic and comedy, magicians can keep an entire room full of children laughing.
Boost for your child - the magician will make a big fuss of the birthday child and make them feel special on their big day.
If your kids are happy to sit and be entertained for a set period of time, they might enjoy a children's entertainer such as a magician. Kids with shorter attention spans might find sitting through an entire show more of a challenge - they may prefer a more physical activity such as a jumping castle. Kids younger than 3 or 4 could be frightened by a stranger so this might be something you need to take into consideration.
Should You Get Magicians for Your Kids' Next Party?
Not sure where to find party magicians? Check online or ask friends for recommendations - other parents will probably know of some excellent kids' party entertainers in the area. The cost of hiring magicians can vary but you can usually expect to pay between $100 and $200 per hour. Some magicians will stay for the duration of the party while others will leave after the show.
Is your house too small for a magic show? Some entertainers will travel to local play centres or other venues such as parks so it may be worth checking them out. Other magicians are affiliated with particular kids' party venues and can offer an entire package including food, decorations and music.
Have you exhausted your own bag of tricks for kids' party ideas? Perhaps it's time to outsource - hire a magician!

Is a superhero party theme for your kid?
If your kids party is around the corner, try considering a superhero party theme. The superhero party theme is popular among boys, though girls might also want to dress up as famous female superheroes like Phoenix, Catwoman and Storm. Ask your child about his or her favourite superhero character and you can plan your party from there.
Some advantages of choosing a superhero theme for your kid’s party includes:
Exercise your kids imagination Wearing a costume and letting your kids play as their favourite superhero can exercise your kids’ imagination. Let your kids imagine that they are really superheroes and help them act according to their character.
Superhero party games are more exciting Parties aren’t complete without party games! Play fun superhero-themed kids activities like Catch the Villain. Catch the Villain works like the classic game of piñata except the kids are going to strike villain piñatas instead of regular piñatas. Order these themed-piñatas online and make your kids’ superhero theme party even more enjoyable. A piñata that’s designed to look like Joker, Batman’s nemesis, costs $15 online.
Appropriate activities for all ages Superhero party themes offer exciting and engaging activities for kids of all ages. Toddlers can spend their time in a superhero themed arts and crafts station while older kids can join action-packed party games.
Organise a superhero party for your kid!
In order to make your superhero party theme more successful, you need to shop for the appropriate party decorations. If you can’t find great supplies in your local shopping centre, order the things you need online. Plates, balloons, giveaways, table decorations and other party supplies featuring popular Marvel superheroes like Spider-Man and Iron Man are easy to find.
You can’t have a great superhero party without remarkable kids party costumes. Be creative! If your daughter wants to dress up as a male superhero, you make her wear a tutu on top of the basic costume in order to make her look more feminine. You can even get your kids to dress up as Captain Australia, the famous “real life Superhero” from Queensland.
Birthdays aren’t complete without birthday party cakes! Look for bakeshops that can make the perfect superhero themed birthday cake. Some bakeshops can take a photo of your child in a superhero costume and turn the photo into the cake’s design.
A great superhero theme party idea is to serve healthy food like fruits and vegetables and label them with super power enhancing qualities. For example, you can leave some carrot sticks on the table and label them with the words, “Improves Laser Vision!”
You can also hire professionals who can dress up as superheroes and entertain your children and his or her friends. Check out the ActiveActivities Directory for more information on businesses that can help make your kids’ superhero party theme better.
Put on your mask and let’s play superhero today!

Is a superhero party theme for your kid?
If your kids party is around the corner, try considering a superhero party theme. The superhero party theme is popular among boys, though girls might also want to dress up as famous female superheroes like Phoenix, Catwoman and Storm. Ask your child about his or her favourite superhero character and you can plan your party from there.
Some advantages of choosing a superhero theme for your kid’s party includes:
Exercise your kids imagination Wearing a costume and letting your kids play as their favourite superhero can exercise your kids’ imagination. Let your kids imagine that they are really superheroes and help them act according to their character.
Superhero party games are more exciting Parties aren’t complete without party games! Play fun superhero-themed kids activities like Catch the Villain. Catch the Villain works like the classic game of piñata except the kids are going to strike villain piñatas instead of regular piñatas. Order these themed-piñatas online and make your kids’ superhero theme party even more enjoyable. A piñata that’s designed to look like Joker, Batman’s nemesis, costs $15 online.
Appropriate activities for all ages Superhero party themes offer exciting and engaging activities for kids of all ages. Toddlers can spend their time in a superhero themed arts and crafts station while older kids can join action-packed party games.
Organise a superhero party for your kid!
In order to make your superhero party theme more successful, you need to shop for the appropriate party decorations. If you can’t find great supplies in your local shopping centre, order the things you need online. Plates, balloons, giveaways, table decorations and other party supplies featuring popular Marvel superheroes like Spider-Man and Iron Man are easy to find.
You can’t have a great superhero party without remarkable kids party costumes. Be creative! If your daughter wants to dress up as a male superhero, you make her wear a tutu on top of the basic costume in order to make her look more feminine. You can even get your kids to dress up as Captain Australia, the famous “real life Superhero” from Queensland.
Birthdays aren’t complete without birthday party cakes! Look for bakeshops that can make the perfect superhero themed birthday cake. Some bakeshops can take a photo of your child in a superhero costume and turn the photo into the cake’s design.
A great superhero theme party idea is to serve healthy food like fruits and vegetables and label them with super power enhancing qualities. For example, you can leave some carrot sticks on the table and label them with the words, “Improves Laser Vision!”
You can also hire professionals who can dress up as superheroes and entertain your children and his or her friends. Check out the ActiveActivities Directory for more information on businesses that can help make your kids’ superhero party theme better.
Put on your mask and let’s play superhero today!

Will Your Kids Enjoy a Dance Party?
Do your children love movement and music? They will probably love a dance party for their birthday. Kids dance parties are great for confident kids who don't mind a lot of noise. If your child is the sensitive type they might prefer something calmer kids' activities. Dance parties provide kids with the opportunity to burn off some energy while having fun and improving their dance skills. Other benefits of dance parties include:
Improvement of co-ordination and motor skills including balance and rhythm;
Social interaction - dancing is a fun social activity;
Fitness - great for a cardiovascular workout;
Fun - best of all, dancing is fun!
Even very young children can enjoy dance parties, particularly with an entertainer or teacher to help them learn the moves. Add a theme or costumes and you can help promote imagination and role play too! Girls are usually more inclined towards dancing than boys but some types of hip hop or street dance can be appealing to both sexes.
Are you considering hosting a dance party event? Make sure you have enough space for your dancers to move freely without tripping over furniture or each other and that you have a good sound system and plenty of music.
How Do You Organise Dance Parties for Kids?
Overwhelmed at the thought of finding suitable activities for kids for your next party or event? A dance party doesn't have to be a huge event, you can just find some music your child likes, put on the stereo and let the kids dance the afternoon away. Dancing can also be incorporated into kids games such as musical statues.
Professional kids' entertainers and dance instructors can be found online or at your local dance academy. They will generally charge around $100 an hour for parties. Some child play centres and dance schools also host parties which might be an alternative if space is a bit limited.
What are you waiting for? Clear the furniture out of the way, crank up the stereo and let your kids dance the afternoon away!

If you're looking for a fun, engaging activity that the whole family can enjoy, look no further than your local ten pin bowling alley. Bowling is a fantastic way to spend quality time together, offering a blend of friendly competition, physical activity, and loads of laughs. We'll share some top tips to ensure your family's bowling experience is nothing short of amazing!
Choosing the Right Ten Pin Bowling Venue
First things first: picking the right venue. Australia boasts numerous ten pin bowling venues, each with its unique charm. Look for venues that are family-friendly, offering amenities like lightweight balls for kids, bumper lanes to prevent gutter balls, and easy-to-use scoring systems. Some alleys even have special family packages, making it more affordable. Consider the location and timing of your visit. A venue close to home is convenient, but sometimes a little drive can lead to a new, exciting experience. Weekends and school holidays can be busy, so if you prefer a quieter experience, try a weekday evening.
Preparing Your Children for Bowling
Before hitting the lanes, it's helpful to explain the basics of ten pin bowling to your children. Talk about how the game is played, the importance of taking turns, and basic safety rules like not walking on the slick lanes. Bowling can be challenging, especially for younger children. Set realistic expectations and emphasize having fun over scoring high. Celebrate small victories, like knocking down a few pins, to keep spirits high.
Bowling is a great opportunity to teach kids about teamwork and sportsmanship. Encourage cheering for each other and show that it's okay to celebrate everyone's successes, not just your own. Keep the game interactive. Maybe have each child predict their score for the next frame, or invent silly challenges like bowling in a funny pose. This keeps the energy high and the laughs rolling.
Bowling is not just fun; it's educational too! Get the kids involved in keeping score. It's a great way to practice basic math skills in a real-world setting.
Bowling also offers a form of physical exercise. It improves hand-eye coordination, balance, and fine motor skills. Encourage your kids to notice how different techniques affect their bowling.
Most bowling alleys have a range of food and drink options. Opt for snacks that aren't too messy or greasy (to keep those bowling fingers clean!) and keep hydrated, especially if playing multiple games.
Birthday Parties and Special Occasions
Party venues like ten pin bowling alleys make fantastic locations for celebrations. They often offer birthday packages that include a dedicated lane, food, and sometimes even a party host. It's a stress-free way to celebrate, with entertainment and activities already sorted.
Wrapping Up: Creating Lasting Memories
Don't forget to take photos! Bowling outings are memorable events, and capturing these moments is priceless. Celebrate everyone's achievements, whether it's a strike, a spare, or just keeping the ball out of the gutter.
In conclusion, a family trip to the bowling alley is more than just a game; it's an opportunity for bonding, learning, and creating lasting memories. With the right preparation and mindset, you can ensure that your family's bowling experience is a striking success. So, what are you waiting for? Lace up those bowling shoes, pick your favorite colorful ball, and get ready to roll some fun with your loved ones!

A fun park is a great way to keep the kids entertained during the school holidays!"

For enjoyment for all the family, take your kids to a fun park!
A fun park, or amusement park, is a facility, usually outdoors, which has rides, attractions and activities for kids of all ages. A fun park is a great way to keep the kids entertained during the school holidays!

Are fun parks for your kid(s)?
Do your kids love fairground rides, flashing lights and kids activities that involve lots of noise? They will probably love visiting a fun park.
Fun parks are usually smaller than theme parks and tend not to be based around a particular theme, although they still offer many of the same exciting rides including:
Ferris wheels
Roller coasters
Teacups
Log rides/water attractions
Games such as shooting galleries
Giant slides
Dodgems/bumper cars
Are your kids sensitive to noise? They might find a fun park a bit overwhelming, so it’s probably a good idea to plan a short visit and see how they go. If you are going during school holidays or on weekends, it’s usually a good idea to get there early to avoid queues. With rides for older kids as well as very young children, a fun park can provide fun for kids of all ages.
Get your kids to a fun park at the next school holidays!
Are you keen to get your kids to a fun park? Most are open all year round but may be closed in adverse weather conditions, so it’s always a good idea to check before you go. Costs can vary from upwards of $30 per child for bigger adventure parks to smaller parks where entry is free and you just pay to go on individual rides.
Most fun parks have food stalls but these can be expensive, so if you are on a budget you might want to consider bringing your own lunch, but check the park’s policy on bringing your own food in first. Some fun parks have picnic facilities while others prefer you to purchase their food.
Do you know where to find a fun park? Although the Gold Coast in Queensland is known for being home to some of the biggest fun parks in Australia, there are fun parks all over the country and a quick check in our ActiveActivities Directory should help you locate your closest one. Make sure your kids wear closed toed shoes and comfortable clothing and take plenty of sunscreen and hats!

What Kind of Kids' Parties and Party Activities Are Available?
Throwing a birthday party for your child is a great way to make them feel special.
The options for thess kinds of kids' activities are endless and include:
Simple backyard birthdays with food, games and a cake - great if you are on a budget, or if your child prefers to steer clear of the limelight. Jumping castles are also popular at backyard parties.
Themed kids' parties - ideas include superhero parties, pirate parties, princesses and dressing up as your favourite cartoon character. Your child can have fun making their own costumes and decorations to match the theme and even choosing some party music.
Hiring entertainers - an entertainer can take the form of a clown, magician, fairy or pirate and keep the kids amused for the duration of the festivities.
Craft parties - for creative kids, arts and craft parties can be held at home or at your local kids' art school. Kids can work on fun craft projects and have something to take home at the end.
Play centre venues - usually they take care of food and entertainment and you just need to bring a cake. Perfect if you're not keen on holding kids' parties at home.
Don't want to make things too complicated? If your child is shy or very young, a simple picnic at a local park or the beach can make for a lovely low key day with the minimum of hassle.
What's the Best Way to Organise Kids' Parties and Party Activities?
Overwhelmed at the thought of arranging a party? No matter what type of party you choose, there are a number of things you will need to organise:
Venue - indoor, outdoor, at home or a special venue; consider whether your chosen venue is suitable for the number of guests and type of entertainment.
Invitations - make sure to give your guests plenty of notice and a phone number on the invitation for them to RSVP to.
Food - for kids' parties, a few party snacks is all that's needed - they'll probably be too busy running around to sit down and eat. Don't forget the cake!
Take home party bags - these can be inexpensive and simple or elaborate; it's up to you.
The cost of kids' parties can vary greatly - from very minimal for a homemade cake and a few backyard party activities for kids to hundreds or even thousands of dollars if professional entertainers and party planners are involved.
Whatever your budget, with a bit of planning and creativity your child can have a fantastic and memorable day!

Be dazzled and thrilled by a breathtaking circus performance!
A circus is a show that travels around the country and features a number of acts including clowns, performing animals, juggling, acrobats, magicians and trapeze artists. It is usually held in a large marquee. There is sure to be plenty of fun for the whole family!
"
["content"]=>
string(2443) "
Is the circus for your kid(s)?
Do your kids love watching clowns and juggling acts? If they like a laugh and enjoy watching performers on the TV, they might love going to see a real life circus. Suitable for kids of any age, circus acts can appeal to the whole family. As well as being great entertainment, many circus performances are quite spectacular with dazzling costumes, lights and daring stunts. Just make sure your child doesn’t try to reproduce the circus tricks at home!
Check our ActiveActivities Events page to see when the next circus is visiting your area, or if there is a circus performance scheduled at a local theatre or entertainment centre. Some circus performances are geared more towards adults than children, so make sure the circus you have chosen is child friendly!
Some very young kids might find it difficult to sit through an entire circus performance while others who are sensitive to noise or crowds might find the experience over-stimulating. If you think your child might be one of these, it is probably a good idea to sit near an exit so you can make a quick getaway if necessary!
Get a whole circus at your next birthday party!
Are you thinking about themes and potential kids activities for your child’s next birthday party? Why not try a circus theme? You don’t have to play host to an entire circus in your backyard to give your kids a taste of the spectacular. You could try circus songs, circus themed outfits and get the kids doing circus activities and craft.
Why not hire a clown to entertain the kids and make them laugh? Many kids’ party planners have clowns that can perform a number of circus type skills such as juggling and acrobatics to amaze your party guests. Other options include stilt walkers, balloon animal creators and acrobats. Most kids entertainers charge around $200 an hour which includes performing circus tricks, arranging games and activities for kids and making the birthday boy or girl feel special.
Whether you want to visit a circus or have one perform in your living room, a circus act can be an exciting and magical experience for your child that is bound to impress!

1. Pick the Perfect Party Venue
Choosing the right party venue is like finding a golden nugget in your backyard. In Australia, we're spoilt for choice with heaps of awesome options.
Backyard BBQ: If you've got a bit of space at home, fire up the barbie and throw a classic Aussie BBQ. Sausages, snags, and a cricket game - what more could you want?
Park Picnic: Our beautiful parks and beaches are perfect for a picnic party. Pack some sambos, snacks, and a footy, and you're good to go.
Indoor Play Centres: When the weather's playing tricks on you, consider an indoor play centre. The kids can run wild, and you can relax with a cuppa.
Pool Party: It's always sunny somewhere in Oz. If you're lucky enough to have a pool, a pool party is a splashing good time.
Theme Parks: For a splurge-worthy celebration, check out Aussie theme parks like Dreamworld or Sea World. They're bound to make a splash!
2. Plan Party Games Galore
Now, let's talk party games – the heart and soul of any kids' bash.
Pass the Parcel: A classic that never goes out of style. Wrap up a prize in layers of paper, crank up the tunes, and pass it around. When the music stops, whoever's holding it unwraps a layer.
Treasure Hunt: Create a treasure map with clues, and let the little adventurers go on a quest. X marks the spot for the hidden loot!
Musical Statues: Crank up some Aussie tunes and let the kids dance their hearts out. When the music stops, they freeze like a kangaroo caught in headlights.
Thong Toss: Aussies are famous for our thongs (flip-flops, that is). Set up a thong-toss competition and see who can fling them the furthest.
Aussie Rules Footy: Get the footy out and have a kickaround. Teach the kids some basic Aussie Rules footy moves and watch them have a ball.
3. Tantalize Tiny Taste Buds
What's an Aussie party without some exciting kids party food:
Sausage Sizzle: You can't go wrong with snags on the barbie. Don't forget the onions and tomato sauce!
Fairy Bread: Spread butter and top with rainbow sprinkles for a kiddo favorite.
Party Pies and Sausage Rolls: Mini versions of these classic Aussie snacks are perfect finger foods.
Vegemite Sandwiches: It's an acquired taste, but some kids absolutely love it.
Lamingtons: Soft sponge cake covered in chocolate icing and coconut – these are sure to be a hit.
4. Create a Theme and Decorate
Kids love themes! Whether it's superheroes, princesses, or their favorite cartoon character, choose a theme and go all out with decorations. Balloons, banners, and themed tableware can really set the mood.
5. Go Easy on Yourself
Last but not least, don't forget to relax and have fun. Kids' parties are about celebrating the little joys in life, so enjoy the day and capture those precious moments.
In a country as vast and diverse as Australia, you've got endless opportunities to make your child's party one for the memory books. Whether you opt for a backyard BBQ, a beachside picnic, or a wild adventure at a theme park, your little tacker is bound to have a blast. So, let's get cracking and make your next kids' party special!
Remember, it's all about the smiles, laughter, and those unforgettable moments that your child will treasure forever. And with these tips, you're well on your way to throwing an Aussie party that'll be the talk of the playground. Cheers to celebrating our little legends!

1. Start with a Plan
Before you dive into the world of party planning, take a moment to brainstorm your child's interests and preferences. Knowing what makes your kid tick will help you choose a theme that'll keep them smiling throughout the party.
Maybe your child is obsessed with superheroes or unicorns, or perhaps they have a passion for animals. Once you've got a theme in mind, it's time to start planning. And remember, you don't need to hire a party planner – a DIY approach can be both fun and budget-friendly!
2. Opt for Outdoor Adventures
When it comes to kids' parties, outdoor venues can be a fantastic money-saving option. Australia is blessed with stunning natural landscapes, parks, and beaches that can serve as the perfect backdrop for your child's special day.
Consider a picnic in the local park, a beachside bash, or even a backyard barbecue. These options are not only cost-effective but also offer kids plenty of space to run around and play party games.
3. Check Out Community Centers
Many communities in Australia have affordable community centers that offer party venue rentals. These facilities often come equipped with tables, chairs, and even kitchen access, making it easy to host a memorable party without breaking the bank.
Plus, supporting your local community center is a win-win – you get a budget-friendly venue, and your contribution helps maintain these vital community spaces.
4. Think Outside the Box
Don't be afraid to get creative with your venue choices. Your kid's birthday party doesn't have to be at a traditional venue. Consider options like the local library, a museum, or even a school gymnasium. Many of these places offer budget-friendly rental rates and can add an educational element to the celebration.
5. DIY Decorations and Entertainment
Get your creative juices flowing and make your own decorations. Crafting with your child can be a fantastic pre-party activity that adds a personal touch to the celebration. Simple decorations like paper streamers, balloons, and homemade banners can transform any space into a festive one.
For party entertainment, you don't need to hire clowns or magicians. Plan some fun party games and activities yourself. Classic games like musical chairs, sack races, or a piñata can keep kids entertained for hours. If you're feeling tech-savvy, create a playlist of your child's favorite songs for a DIY dance party.
6. Embrace the Potluck Party
Feeding a hungry group of kids can be one of the most significant expenses of a birthday party. Instead of shouldering the entire cost, consider throwing a potluck party. Ask parents to bring their child's favorite dish or snack, and you can handle the cake and drinks. Not only does this save you money, but it also adds a communal, family-oriented vibe to the event.
7. Keep the Guest List in Check
It's tempting to invite the whole neighborhood, but a smaller guest list can save you money without sacrificing the fun factor. Discuss the guest list with your child and limit the number of invitees to close friends and family. This way, you can focus on creating a more intimate and memorable experience for everyone.
8. Go Digital with Invitations
Say goodbye to traditional paper invitations and postage costs. Go digital with e-invitations. There are plenty of online tools and websites that allow you to create stunning digital invites, which you can send via email or social media. It's not only eco-friendly but also budget-friendly!
9. Hunt for Deals and Discounts
Don't forget to scout for deals and discounts. Check out websites like ActiveActivities, which often feature budget-friendly party venues and suppliers. You might stumble upon special offers or discounts that can make your party planning even more economical.
10. DIY Party Favors
Instead of buying expensive pre-made party favors, consider creating your own. Craft simple goody bags filled with stickers, small toys, and candies. It's a fun project to involve your child in and can save you a significant amount compared to store-bought favors.
In conclusion, throwing a budget-friendly kids' birthday party in Australia doesn't mean you have to compromise on fun or memorable experiences. With a little creativity and planning, you can find affordable party venues, create exciting party games, and make your child's celebration one they'll cherish forever. So, get ready to celebrate without breaking the bank and watch your child's face light up with joy on their special day!

Whether you're looking for water slides, jumping castles, tubes or any other outdoor activities for your next kids party, inflatable equipment is easy to set up and dismantle and provides hours of fun!

Will Your Kids Enjoy Inflatable Equipment for Their Birthday Parties?
Do your kids love to climb, bounce and slide? They will probably love inflatable equipment. If you have a backyard, why not consider hiring a bouncing castle for their next party? You could be even more adventurous and get an inflatable water slide, or both! Hiring inflatable equipment for kids' birthday parties, or other parties or events where kids' activities are needed can a great way to keep them occupied.
Most inflatable equipment is recommended for children under 13 although very small babies may be at risk of being jumped or stepped on. Supervision by a responsible adult is essential at all times. Make sure kids take their shoes off and for safety reasons don't let them perform somersaults or climb up the sides of equipment.
Does your child prefer quiet sedentary activities for kids? They could find bouncing castles and water slides overwhelming so it might be worth considering something quieter like an arts and crafts party or a magic show. Slides and jumping castles have a tendency to hype kids up so be prepared for lots of noise and chaos!
What Kind of Inflatable Equipment Should You Get for Your Kids' Birthday Party?
Not sure what inflatable equipment would be best for your kids' party? Consider the size of your backyard and number of guests when making your decision. There are a number of different inflatable play equipment options including:
Jumping castles - great for all ages and varying in size. They usually cost around $200 for 4 hours.
Inflatable slides - usually part of bouncy castles. Cost: around $240 for 4 hours hire.
Inflatable obstacle courses - have a series of challenges for kids to complete including tunnels, climbing obstacles and ball pits. Cost: around $200 for 4 hours.
Water slides - stand-alone slides that feature water. Cost around $200 for 4 hours.
Ball pits - inflatable pit filled with plastic balls for kids to throw and jump into. Cost: around $150 for 2 hours.
Inflatable equipment can keep kids entertained and having fun for hours - meaning parents can relax and enjoy their child's special day!

Squids Family Day Care would like to thank Reptile Encounters so much for an awesome show. The children had the best time and I would highly recommend this show to other Educators and Early Learning providers. We had 19 children aged from 3 and under and Bronte made sure they were all included and got to have a touch/hold of the animals. She answered all questions with patience and knowledge and was very good with the little people. We will definitely get you back for another show. So again thanks for an awesome experience, from Donna and the terronaughts xx
