Annika's 5th @ Fidgets

Annika's 5th birthday


I gave Annika the option of having a party in school or at Fidgets for her classmates.

She chose Fidgets and I am ever so glad she did!



I booked the party just a month ahead of time one afternoon when we took the kids there to play. The booking process was quick and efficient, and they took a 10% deposit to confirm the date.

We chose a Saturday morning ( 10am-12pm) for the party. Fidgets opens at 9am and they allow party guests to come at opening to start playing! The package included food and drinks for 20 kids as well as 2 hours use of the party room with 2 party hostesses. I added on food for 10 adults.


One week before the actual party Ms Hidayah called me to confirm numbers and to get a guest list. She also emailed me the food menu with the items we had chosen earlier.

And that was it! All I had to do was to prepare the birthday cake and goody bags ( if I wanted ). They also allowed us to buy helium balloons but we didn't get around to doing that.


Annika is very specific about what she wants. She told me " rainbow cake" , theme was to be "Frozen" ( again! ). No negotiations about the theme. 

So we had a rainbow cake with a " Frozen-esque" theme: basically Frozen- blue fondant, Elsa and Anna figurines, ( at least I made a fondant Olaf lookalike), and stuck some fondant snowflakes, marshmellows dipped in rainbow sprinkles and scattered mini marshmellows all over. So simple! And Annika declared " it ( was ) the best cake ever !"


The party was a breeze! We turned up at 930 am, and they had the room all ready for us to use. The room was large too, and comfortably fit the 20 kids and over just slightly over 10 adults. They gave me the party itinerary so that we knew what would happen when. Everything was very well executed. They entertained the kids with party games, then got them to sit down and have lunch--they even served the kids individually! That was new-- I've been to Fidgets parties in the past ( before they renovated ) and that didn't happen. There was plenty of ice water for everyone -- a really nice touch! I'm always thirsty at parties and there never seems to be any cold water around.


The 2 hours went by really quickly and at 12noon it was basically over. Fidgets allows the party guests to continue playing till 6pm when they close! A few of the guests stayed back to play, and I think most kids left by 2pm. We left just after 130pm.

The bill came up to just over $1k, and in the overall scheme I was happy. Doing it ourselves wouldn't have been any less, plus the stress of having to entertain and cater. Fidgets also has themed parties, baking parties so yes, I would most definitely have another kids party there again !
