Children's parties at Hullabazoo

Hullabazoo Logo
Hullabazoo, our brand-new indoor play area, is the ideal location to hold a child's birthday party.

While your little monkeys run wild on the play equipment, adults can relax in the private party room. After 1 hour of play, the party feast is then served in the room.

Our parties can accommodate a maximum of 20 guests (including all children and adults).
