Join us for an unforgettable of horseback riding and outdoor fun!

Where to have a kid’s birthday party?

One of the most important decisions to make is where you will set the celebration. The venue is what makes all the difference sometimes, so you should pick a place that fits your kid’s interests and the type of gathering you’re planning. Here’s some fun ideas:

Pony Rides and Equestrian Centres
If your kid loves horses, an equestrian center can become the magical setting for a birthday party. You’ll find packages with pony rides, grooming sessions, and even beginner equestrian lessons. The kids will have the amazing opportunity to ride the ponies… always a special experience for everyone involved. Search for “kid birthday party places near me” and you’ll see our nearby locations. These are perfect for small groups and can be a hit with both boys and girls.

Outdoor Parks and Nature Centres
If your children enjoy being outside, a local park or nature center can be the perfect place to go. Parks with picnic areas, playgrounds, and trails offer a wonderful way for kids to run around and explore. Nature-themed games like scavenger hunts add an extra layer of fun, while the fresh air benefits the health (but don’t tell the kids that’s the reason for the venue).

Themed Venues
If your child has a special interest, whether it’s dinosaurs, superheroes, or science, themed venues like museums or activity centers can provide both entertainment and education. Many of these places offer interactive exhibits and activities that keep the kids engaged. And keep a lot of the planning off your shoulders.

Indoor Playgrounds
Or you could set the party in an indoor playground, especially if the weather might be bad. Bounce houses, ball pits, slides, and much more – such venues can offer a lot of fun. And they also include a space for cake and presents.

If option one suits you the best and your child just loves horses so-so-much, we have the perfect kids birthday party places for you. A celebration with us will be an amazing gift for your kids that they will remember for years to come. We can tailor your special occasion to what you need and provide you with the ultimate experience.

We host birthday ride parties at the event center at the base of our property on Saturdays and Sundays, mornings or afternoons. With plenty of shade and available parking. You can bring your own activities or entertainment, music, decorations, food, and beverage. We don’t allow only balloons as they can be distracting to the horses.

How far in advance to send out kids’ birthday party invitations?

After you’ve set the venue, now it’s time to send out invitations. It’s best to do so 3 to 4 weeks in advance. This gives parents enough time to clear their schedules and RSVP. If you’re planning a celebration during a busy time, like school holidays, send out invitations 4 to 6 weeks ahead.

Many parents choose digital invitations which make it easy to track RSVPs and send reminders. However, paper invitations still hold charm, especially if your child enjoys handing them out in person.

With us you get:

  • Adventure pony rides for children in our designed arena and around the ranch;
  • Free opportunities to decorate as you wish;
  • The option to ride on ponies with experienced wranglers;
  • Large area for children to explore and play;
  • 30 minutes specially for cake and presents.

So, how does it sound? Like kids having a lot of fun, doesn’t it?

How to plan a kid’s birthday party?

Now let’s just break down the process into simple steps to make the process more manageable.

Set a Budget
Your budget will guide many of your decisions, from the venue to the guest list and activities. Whether you’re planning a backyard bash or pony rides, set a limit on expenses so you don’t go overboard.

Choose a Theme
Kids parties can be a lot of fun with a properly selected theme. Whether your child wants a superhero adventure, a princess theme, or a cowboy-themed day with pony rides, the theme adds excitement and direction. Then you can tune-in all the other details, including invitations.

Plan Fun Activities
Nobody wants bored kids at a party. So, keep the kids entertained… If your venue offers pony rides or equestrian lessons, these will naturally be the highlights. For other places, think about games like sack races, treasure hunts, or crafts where the children can make their own party favors. Make sure the activities are age-appropriate so everyone can participate and have fun.

Plan the Menu
Simple, kid-friendly foods are usually best. Finger foods like pizza, sandwiches, and fruit platters are usually the best option.

What to wear to a kid's birthday party?

For outdoor fun and pony rides, what matters the most is comfort. Children will feel the best with jeans, t-shirts, and sturdy shoes (like boots or sneakers). You should also dress practically. Go for layers and make sure you’re prepared for potentially bad weather.

Planning your child’s birthday celebration doesn’t have to be stressful. Just pick the theme and the venue, and you can suit all the rest accordingly. What matters most is that you choose something your kid has always wanted to do. Even if their ‘always’ has lasted a month.
