Kids' parties are big business: cakes are getting fancier, entertainment louder, and venues ever more colourfully decorated. And this is good news for parents. It's now easy to pull together a cracking party to impress even the fussiest of kids. Of course, if you'd prefer to leave it to the professionals (less cleaning up after all), check out our list of the best kids' party venues in KL.

Best for active kids

Marina Putrajaya
  • Attractions
  • Rivers, lakes and ponds
  • Putrajaya
If you’re looking for an outdoor venue where kids can enjoy some fun in the water, the lake at Marina Putrajaya is where you can organise an awesome party that even teenagers will enjoy. All you have to do is book boat time and decide on whether they want to water ski, wakeboard, kneeboard (ideal for the little ones) or ride on the rubber inflatables. Parents have the option of bringing their own food, order from the restaurant located upstairs the wakeboard centre or pizza delivery can be organised. Water and soft drinks are available for sale. There’s the added attraction of a small, man-made sand beach within walking distance, which the kids will love to play at.
Jump Street
  • Restaurants
  • Cafés
  • Petaling Jaya
Parties here involve a lot of action in a safe, enclosed space. There are various trampolines including the Foam Pit where kids can take flying leaps into a pit of foam cubes and practise their mid-air somersaults, indulge in high-flying basketball shots in the Slam Dunk court, and if the kids are really up for it and above 110cm tall, the Olympic-spec High Performance area awaits. After all that action, the kids head to the party room where refreshments and the birthday cake await. There are several food and beverage packages available including vegetarian, local and Western dishes which are all prepared in-house by the Jump Café. At an extra cost, parents can also order cake and party packs comprising Jump Street merchandise.

Skytrex Adventure

  • Shah Alam
Kids love the rope bridges, tightropes and ziplines that make up the obstacle course here and create a great outdoor party venue. Constructed among the established meranti trees, the suspended circuits give kids a thrill without the worry of a fall - harnesses and ample netting keep things on the safe side of scary. For a minumum of 25 people (with tickets on any of the circuits purchased), the party package includes decorations, catering, and venue rental for RM400. Kids activities will take place on the Little Adventure Circuit.

Best for hungry minds

TGV Cinemas
  • Cinemas
  • Bandar Utama
Kids love going to the cinema to experience their favourite animated feature or action movie with digital sound and a big screen. Organising a cinematic birthday treat is effortless and gives the opportunity for the birthday child to have an entire cinema to celebrate. Party favours can be based on the movie watched and popcorn is of course, a must-have. TGV Cinemas are located in major cities in the country and parents can rent a cinema with the price depending on seating capacity. You can choose to watch either a movie showing at the time or an older title as long as the film distributor still has it. Contact entertainmentsolutions@tgv.com.my for information on customisable party packages.
Petrosains

Best for the young ones

Local fire stations
Your local fire station can host a very cool kids’ birthday party, which doubles as a public awareness programme and incur no cost. Organised by the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia, all you have to do is get in touch with a specific station, bring your own cake and décor and make sure all food is halal. The two-hour programme begins with an information session to teach kids about fire safety followed by a display by the firemen on what they do when an emergency call comes in. The kids are then suited up and get to hop on board a fire truck. Most parties wrap up with fun and games and the kids are even shown how to handle a fire hose. The Hartamas, Keramat, Jelatek, TTDI, Putrajaya and Cyberjaya stations are popular choices. While most stations can accommodate up to 20 kids, larger ones like the Hang Tuah Fire Station are recommended for larger parties. While this public awareness programme is free, contributions are very welcome. To book a party, write to the station you’re keen on and follow-up personally at the station.
