How to host the best Timezone birthday party

It’s your birthday and you can party if you want to – as long as you celebrate at your closest Timezone! Are we being bossy? Only because we know that having a birthday party at Timezone is the perfect way to have a great time with friends and family. Follow these tips for the best party ever!

Room to play

Start by picking the right venue for your party, based on the number of guests, party theme (if you’re into themes, as we are) and your favourite party activities. Think age-appropriate, too: taking 15 energetic tweens to a sit-down brunch with scones and tea is probably not going to be a memorable occasion… Not for the right reasons, anyway! Timezone offers modern, bright, and spacious party rooms that can be decorated, and serve as a private ‘party only’ space to escape to if you need a break from all the raucous fun. We do the set-up and clean afterwards, so you don’t have to worry about carting chairs and tables around or bringing a mop.

Play that funky music!

Catchy music is a key element of all parties, be it birthday parties or end-of-year office celebrations. Timezone venues have state-of-the-art in-venue music systems programmed to play the latest, greatest, and most popular hits, no repeats, and family-friendly. If you’d like a special customised playlist to celebrate, say, your dad’s 50th birthday party, we are very open to persuasion – simply have a chat to our friendly Funsquad in venue.

Om nom nom nom...

Parties = feasting! Good food (and enough of it!) is key to any successful party, as is choosing the right snacks based on the age of your partygoers. Several Timezone locations have onsite cafés that offer a delicious menu with options for young and old, from pizza to favourites such as nachos and loaded fries. Timezone’s range of party packages allows you to build your own party and choose the snacks that best suit your style – and budget. Ask us about birthday cakes and options to customise your menu.

Let us entertain you

At Timezone, we actively work against the old cliché of “you’ll always find guests in the kitchen at parties”. Our kitchens are off-limits to the public, you see. And we’d much rather you end up in one of our themed laser tag arenas. Or bowling graceful strikes on our tenpin bowling lanes, busting a move on Maimai, or slaying at Mario Kart. Plus, winning loads of Powertickets to spend on cool goodies in the Timezone prize shop... You get the picture. You’ll be having so much fun, you’ll forget the kitchen even existed! (Well, up until our legendary milkshakes make an appearance, in which case we predict a sudden flash mob running back to the party room...)

No stress, no fuss

The best parties are the ones where you put in minimal effort for maximum return. And thus, may we introduce you to Timezone’s fuss-free party process: simply fill in your details and what you need for your party on our online booking form, and we’ll take care of the nitty-gritty details, from sending out invites, a neat online RSVP to manage attendees and to dealing with the clean-up. You can also phone our friendly team to find out more about options for customising your party, to make sure that you get the best deal and that all bases are covered.

Party ideas for all ages

The best thing about partying at Timezone is that it doesn’t matter what age you are: you’ll fall in love with having fun all over again! We offer a range of good value, customisable party packages for kids & teens, grown-up celebrations and group and corporate parties, such as team-building sessions or end-of-financial-year celebrations. 

Thanks for the memories

Ultimately, it’s the people we share our special days with that help create our best memories. So, pick your friends wisely, then bring them over to your closest Timezone to celebrate friends, family, and fun in an unforgettable way. See you soon!
