# Kids’ Birthday Party Places in Sacramento

> Trampoline and gym parties, Fairytale Town and the zoo, pottery and art studios, laser tag and bowling across Sacramento, Roseville, Elk Grove, Folsom and West Sacramento, with what each package includes and costs.

Children’s birthday parties in the Sacramento area run from Chuck E. Cheese’s $99.99 package for six kids to hosted parties at Fairytale Town ($255 to $335 for 20 guests) and gym, trampoline and laser tag packages of about $350 to $600 for 10 to 20 kids, as posted in October 2026. Little kids do well at Fairytale Town, the zoo and indoor play spaces; preschool and early grade-school kids at gyms and pottery studios; older kids at laser tag and bowling.

## At a glance

- Most hosted packages cover 10 to 20 kids for 90 minutes to 2 hours. Check whether adults count as guests: they do at Fairytale Town and the Sacramento Zoo.
- Ask what’s added on top. Rebounderz adds a 3% fee and a 7% gratuity, Color Me Mine adds 15% for the host, and pottery pieces are paid separately.
- For a first birthday, Fairytale Town suggests its self-serve Sherwood Forest area; its hosted parties suit kids turning 2 and up.
- No balloons at the Sacramento Zoo or the Folsom zoo, and the Sacramento Zoo allows no outside food except your cake.

## 23 birthday party places in the Sacramento area, by kind of party

Each listing gives the town. Prices are as each place posted them in October 2026, usually before tax and tips. For open play at the indoor playgrounds and trampoline parks, see our [guide to indoor playgrounds in Sacramento](https://summerground.com/guides/indoor-playgrounds-sacramento).

## What a kids’ birthday party costs in Sacramento

Most hosted packages cover 10 to 20 kids for 90 minutes to two hours, with a host, setup and cleanup. The big differences are who counts as a guest, whether food is included, and what’s added on top. Here are the posted prices side by side.

*Party prices as each place posted them, October 2026 (before tax, tips and add-ons)*

| Place | Kind | Price | Guests included | Length |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Chuck E. Cheese | Games and show | $99.99 | 6 kids | 2 hours |
| ACAI Studios | Clay | $35 a child | 6–10 kids | Not stated |
| Color Me Mine Natomas | Pottery painting | $150 plus pottery and 15% tip | 8–12 painters | 2 hours |
| Fairytale Town | Storybook park, hosted | $255–$335 | 20, adults count | 60–90 minutes |
| Hawkins School | Ballet fairytale | $300 | 12 guests | 2 hours |
| The Play Atelier | Art studio | $325 | Not stated | 2 hours |
| Mad Science | Science show, at your place | $350 | Up to 20 kids | 1 hour |
| Byers Gymnastics | Gymnastics | $350 (nonmembers) | 12 kids | 90 minutes |
| SacTag | Laser tag | $355–$375 | 10 players | 2 hours |
| Capitol Bowl | Bowling | $360 | 12 bowlers | 2.5 hours |
| Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary | Zoo | $374 | 30 guests | 2 hours |
| Rebounderz | Trampoline park | $399–$599, plus 3% fee and 7% tip | 10–20 jumpers | 2 hours |
| Mike Shellito Indoor Pool | Swim | $400, plus $75 deposit | 40 guests | 3 hours |
| Technique Gymnastics | Gymnastics and ninja | $425–$525 | 15 kids | 90 minutes–2 hours |
| BusyKids Folsom | Play town | $450 | 12 kids | 2 hours |
| Enchanted Elk Grove | Indoor playground, private | $495 | 10 kids, 20 adults | 2 hours |
| TotArt | Art, at your place | $525 | 12 kids | 90 minutes |
| Sacramento Zoo | Zoo | $60 a guest (2024 price sheet) | 20-guest minimum | 90 minutes |

On a small budget, Chuck E. Cheese’s $99.99 package or a self-serve area at Fairytale Town ($80 to $120 for the space, plus admission) cost least. Mad Science and TotArt come to you, which saves a venue fee if you have space at home or a park picnic area.

## Choosing a party by your child’s age

- **First birthdays.** Keep it short and let the grown-ups visit. Fairytale Town suggests its self-serve Sherwood Forest area for children 1 or younger, so you can go at your child’s pace. An indoor playground with a party room, like Enchanted or BusyKids, also works, and the babies can play.
- **Ages 2 to 5.** Hosted parties with a short activity: Fairytale Town’s themed packages (it suggests them for kids turning 2 and up), a zoo party, Chuck E. Cheese’s toddler show for 2- to 4-year-olds, Hawkins’ ballet fairytale or a TotArt sensory party at home.
- **Preschool and early grade school.** Coach-led gym parties at Technique, Byers or Flip 2 It, clay at ACAI (5 and up), a Mad Science show or a trampoline party at Rebounderz. SacTag’s Jungle packages mix a play structure with laser tag for ages 2 to 12.
- **Older kids and tweens.** Laser tag at SacTag or The BLVD, bowling at Capitol Bowl or Lucky Strike, a ninja party at Flip 2 It, roller skating at Kings Skate Country, mini golf and go-karts at Golfland or a swim party in Roseville.

Not sure? Ask the venue what age most of its parties are for, and how it handles younger siblings. Byers, for example, lets parents on the floor only with children under 3.

## Before you book: questions to ask

- [ ] **Who counts as a guest?** At Fairytale Town and the Sacramento Zoo, adults count toward the total. At Rebounderz, SacTag and Capitol Bowl, the count is jumpers, players or bowlers.
- [ ] **What’s added on top?** Rebounderz adds a 3% service fee and a 7% gratuity; Color Me Mine adds 15% for the host plus each piece; Mad Science adds travel and tip.

## Questions parents ask

### How much does a kids’ birthday party cost in Sacramento?

As posted in October 2026, most hosted packages cost $300 to $600 for 10 to 20 kids: $355 to $375 for 10 players at SacTag, $360 for 12 bowlers at Capitol Bowl, $399 to $599 at Rebounderz plus fees, $425 to $525 at Technique Gymnastics. Fairytale Town’s hosted parties are $255 to $335 for 20 guests. The cheapest is Chuck E. Cheese, $99.99 for six kids. Tax, gratuities, extra guests and food are often on top.

### Can you have a birthday party at the Sacramento Zoo?

Yes. The zoo’s package gives you 90 minutes in the Redwood Grove next to the carousel, zoo admission and a carousel ticket for every guest, a pizza lunch, a stuffed animal for the birthday child and staff help, with a 20-guest minimum counting everyone over 2. The price sheet linked from its page is from 2024 ($60 a guest, $55 for members, $500 deposit), so ask the events coordinator for current prices. Balloons, glitter, confetti and candles aren’t allowed.

### How do Fairytale Town birthday parties work?

Pick a hosted package or a self-serve area, then book at least two weeks ahead (four to eight is better for weekends). Hosted parties cover 20 guests, adults included, for 60 to 90 minutes with a host who leads one or two activities: $255 to $335, plus $11 per extra guest. Self-serve Sherwood Forest ($120) and Pooh Corner ($80 an hour) cost less, but guests pay admission. You may bring food, drinks and cake, but not alcohol or a barbecue.

### What are good birthday party places in Roseville?

For active kids, Flip 2 It Sports Center has ninja and gymnastics parties for up to 15 or 20 kids, and Byers Gymnastics has packages from $350 ($300 for members). The city’s Mike Shellito Indoor Pool hosts swim parties for up to 40 guests for $400. Golfland SunSplash pairs mini golf with pizza, arcade cards and add-ons like go-karts and laser tag. Wacky Tacky and Sky Zone Roseville, in our [indoor playgrounds guide](https://summerground.com/guides/indoor-playgrounds-sacramento), also host parties.

### Where can I have a kids’ birthday party in Elk Grove?

Enchanted Elk Grove rents its whole playground and party room for two hours for $495, a good fit for babies to 6-year-olds. Kings Skate Country hosts roller-skating parties with 10 guests included. Chuck E. Cheese on East Stockton Boulevard has its $99.99 package for six kids, and Sky Zone Elk Grove books trampoline parties with a 10-jumper minimum. All four are indoors, which helps in the rainy months.

### Where can I have a science birthday party in Sacramento?

Mad Science of Sacramento Valley comes to your home, a park or a restaurant with a 45-minute show and a make-and-take project, $350 for up to 20 kids. The SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity (MOSAC) lists birthday packages, but its page says parties are unavailable until further notice, and Explorit in Davis says it is pausing operations. Check both before you plan around them.

## How we made this list

We searched the web (Exa) for kids’ birthday party places across the Sacramento area, then read each place’s own party pages in October 2026 for what’s included, prices and rules. We left out places whose parties are paused (MOSAC, Explorit), places that don’t say what a party includes, adult event halls, and results for Roseville, Minnesota. Package prices change, so confirm when you book.
