The Party Room offers up to 20 different games in four different theme areas. It’s the perfect choice if you’re struggling to find a place that can entertain all your guests, young and old.

The Party Room also has quiet zones for board games and comics.
The Celebration Package gives you two hours of access to fun and games, including a good selection of food and drinks. If you’re keeping the party small with 10 guests, a small private room will be available for RM980. A bigger private room on the other hand, can accommodate up to 25 guests and will cost RM1,880. But, if you have more than 60 guests you have the option of booking the whole venue. The Party Room can accommodate up to 120 guests at any one time.

Firemen and fire engines are such common features in our children’s toys, books and shows- it’s no wonder many of our kids aspire to be firefighters when they grow up! Host a party at a balai bomba (many branches in Klang Valley accept birthday parties) and meet real firefighters who will not only give a private tour of the firestation, but also run activities for your group of eager little firefighters-in-the-making. The children will get to try on uniforms, use a real fire extinguisher to douse flames, shimmy down a fire pole, and ride atop a fire truck (with flashing sirens too!). The venue and activities will be provided for free, and parents are allowed to bring in decorations and food for the party. Do call the specific branch of your choice for further details and booking.
