CraniumPARTY FAQ
Coolest parties on the planet – Ages 3 – 8
Scroll to the bottom of FAQs for info on special 2 year old parties


What makes your birthday parties so unique?
It was designed by current parents who gave input on what they liked (and did not like) about other birthday parties they experienced in the past. Using this information a party consultant group designed a very unique birthday concept called the CraniumPARTY.

How many parties are going on at one time?
This was the # 1 complaint we heard from parents. They did not like multiple parties, kids and parents running around without control. Our solution: Your child’s birthday party will have EXCLUSIVE use of the indoor area for the entire play time (the first 90 minutes). Birthday parties overlap for just the last 30 minutes when your party will already be in the dinning/cake area which is in a separate section of the facility. Our main facilities have over 10,000 sqft and can easily handle over 150 kids but we are limiting the space in order to ensure each birthday party is unique and pleasant for both the kids and the parents.

Are the parties structured or a free for all play structure?
This was the # 2 complaint we heard from parents. They did not feel that birthday parties that allow the kids to run around without control allowed the birthday party child to interact, team up and have fun events that were centered around them or their birthday – after all it is their special day! Our solution: Your child’s birthday party will be structured fun. Our specially trained party pros cast the children into various roles as they play games, accomplish athletic goals, conquer inflatable obstacles and other special events all while learning about a fun educational theme. The children participate in organized team activities which are centered around the birthday child.

What is included and not included in the birthday party package?
Please see the party packages page for details.

When should the birthday family and birthday guests arrive? Can we stay past the two hour time period?
The Birthday family = no earlier then 15 minutes before the start of the party.
The Birthday guests = no earlier then 5 minutes before the start of the party.
Please let your guests know when they should arrive.
The two hour time slot will be more then enough time for the kids, parents and staff and we will not be able to extend the parties beyond the two hour period.


What payments are due when and what about refunds?
A $ 100 non-refundable deposit secures party date & time. Remaining cost of party is non-refundable seven (7) days or less before the assigned date/time. The remainder will be charged (including any/all extras) upon party completion. If we can find another group to secure your spot, we will give a credit that is 90% of the deposit, that can be used at our facility for any program for up to one year.

Can we have more then 30 kids at the party?
Due to the unique structure and educational nature of the parties any size over 30 will effect the party experience that we can deliver, so a larger size cannot be accomodated. If you know you will have more then 30 kids, please feel free to give us a call ahead of time and we might be able to set up a custom party experience for you. On the day of the party, if you find that more then 30 kids show up (unexpected event on your part) our party pros will have to work with you to decide whether to limit the participants or, if possible, change the party structure to an open play experience instead.

Can other parents or kids stay in the facility without participation?
Yes. There is a parent waiting area that looks into the inside open space which includes the gym zone. There are some party games that might require a small amount of parent versus kids participation.

What about food and drinks?
Pizza delivery is allowed at the party. You can either order the pizza directly or have us order it for you to pay via cc when it arrives (NYPD Pizza in Winter Garden - 407-877-4743 - $ 11 plus tip per each extra large one topping pizza - 16 slices). Pizza is normally delivered 15 minutes before the kids go to the party room (which is around 1 one hour and fifteen minutes after the start of the party). Cake is allowed and is supplied by the parents. Our party pros will help serve both the cake and pizza. With prior approval we will allow other food to be brought in. We do require any pre-approved "other" food be served by the parents and not by the party pros. We include one drink (either water or a juice box) for each participating child. Any additional drinks will either need to be supplied by the parents or can be purchased for $ 1 each (juice box or water).

Can parents bring in alcohol? Do you allow smoking?
We are also licensed as a child care facility and can not allow alcohol to be served or brought into the facility. We are a smoke free facility.

Can we use your kitchen?
We can not allow the use of the kitchen appliances (oven, microwave, refrigerator). We may have limited temporary storage in the refrigerator but will need to check on this prior to the day of the party.

Can we stay beyond the 2 hour time frame?
No. We have mandated guidelines on our employees work schedule and times. If your party lasts more then 5 minutes after the 2 hour pre-assigned time period, we will charge you at a rate of $ 5 per minute, until the party is completed. For the 2 year old parties the same guidelines apply for after the 1.5 hour pre-assigned time period.

Can we have more information on the special Music and Movement Adventure Party for 2 year old birthdays?
Yes. Most of the basic birthday information still applies for the 2 year old parties. Instead of using the inflatables, this party will get more time and structured fun events in our large indoor gymnastics area. In addition, parents are required to participate with their own child(ren) during the party. The 2 year old parties are 1.5 hours in length. We can choose from a few different Music and Movement Adventure components when piecing together the perfect party design, so let us know what your needs, wants and desires are and we can try to work with you. Most of the 2 year old parties are booked in the later afternoon on Saturdays and Sundays.
