      The Flow of the Party

      Upon arrival, your guests will be greeted at the door and directed by our staff downstairs to the party room, where our staff will guide them on the chosen project (see details below) for approximately 30 minutes. Then, our staff will divide the children into supervised groups and take them to the main floor for building challenges in our Main Space or Glow Room. We carefully select building challenges appropriate to the birthday guests, such as a 3D rainbow, a giant birthday cake, or favorite characters. Kids will be directly supervised by Genius Gems staff. Parents are welcome to socialize and enjoy drinks and food in the cafe (see our optional extras). Finally, kids will return to the private party room, which will be ready to go with  pizza and juice. This is followed by cake and happy birthday singing in our party room! 

      Please note that all parties taking place on June 15th 2024 and beyond, are required to pay for any additional kids and adults, and extras including platters, popcorn machine, cotton candy, party upgrades, the Wednesday before the party. No refunds or credits will be issued for changes to additional items or for less kids or adults that attend than expected.
