  • Personal information collected during the booking process is handled according to our Privacy Policy. Please visit our Privacy Policy page for more details.

Birthday Party Package Conditions

  • Our Birthday Party Packages are designed for children up to 11 years old. Those aged 12 and over are considered adults and are not permitted to use the playground equipment. 
  • All guests attending a Chipmunks birthday party must follow the playground rules and Conditions of Entry. For a detailed summary, refer to our Terms and Conditions page and the store Playground Rules on our website. 
  • Party Packages include 8 children (including the birthday child). Additional children can be added for an extra charge, depending on store capacity. Please advise the store of extra attendees at least 72 hours before your party, or add them at the point of booking, to ensure space is available. 
  • Your booking is for 2 hours. The first hour includes playtime and 2 reserved café tables for your group. The private party room will be available in the second hour for food service and cannot be accessed earlier. Once you move to the party room, the café tables will no longer be reserved. If you plan to stay after your party room time, please have an adult secure a non-reserved table in advance. Table sizes and layouts vary by store, so please contact your location directly if you have any questions. You are welcome to stay and continue using the Playland after your booking; however, your reserved café tables and party room will no longer be available. 
  • When you book a birthday party package, a non-refundable deposit is required to secure your reservation. This is not just an upfront fee—it will be directly deducted from the total cost of your package. So, by the time you make the final payment, the deposit will have already been accounted for, reducing your outstanding balance. 
  • All details, including the guest list, food platters, dietary restrictions, and full payment, should be confirmed no less than 72 hours before the party. If you are uncertain about the final guest count, provide a lower number. If additional guests attend, we can adjust accordingly, provided we are informed of the potential changes 72 hours prior to the event. 
  • The remaining balance for your party package must be settled at least 72 hours prior to your scheduled booking. If you make a payment but then decide to cancel the booking, it is fully refundable, as long as it is more than 72 hours before the event; however, if you cancel the event within 72 hours of your scheduled booking, the full payment becomes non-refundable. This goes for all purchases related to the booking. 
  • While we strive to accommodate all dietary requests, there are situations where we might not be able to fully meet your needs. 
  • Following payment of the non-refundable deposit, you will receive a booking confirmation and receipt, with the option to print your own party invitations or collect them in-store. Some locations may offer mailing services; however, invitations are generally collected in person. 
  • For additional café purchases, a café tab can be set up for your party on the day. Credit card details may be taken as security, and full payment is due at the party’s conclusion. 
  • A minimum of 1 adult per 8 children is necessary for supervision. Our staff members are not included in this ratio. 
  • Packages are non-transferable and are valid only in the designated store. 
  • Outside food and drink are not allowed, with the exception of a nut-free birthday cake, to be consumed in the party room, for those who have booked one of our birthday party packages.

To ensure we can work with your requirements, please confirm details at least 72 hours before the party. Please note: we will always do our best to accommodate your changes; however, we cannot guarantee that we can accommodate these in every circumstance.  
  • Our team will work closely with you on the day regarding timing and food logistics. Depending on the package you have booked, you might be assigned a party helper who will ensure that all elements of the package, from the appearance of our mascot, Charlie, to party gifts, are delivered as promised. However, party helpers are not dedicated hosts and may move in and out as required by the manager.

Party Add-ons & Inclusions

Each party package includes different add-ons or inclusions. These can be viewed on the booking page. The information below explains how selected items are handled, including what happens if a product becomes unavailable. 

Merchandise Terms and Conditions: When booking a birthday party, private venue hire, or any other party product online, you may be able to select Chipmunks merchandise, party favours, socks, or other branded items as part of your package or as an add-on. We will do our best to supply your selected items; however, merchandise and party favour stock changes throughout the year, and specific items may not always be available at the time of your party. 

If a selected item is unavailable, the store will offer one of the following: 

  • a replacement item from the same product category 
  • (e.g., party favour  another party favour; present  another present; socks  another sock) 
  • This ensures your selection stays within the correct category for your booking, even if stock changes between the time of booking and the date of your event. Stores cannot guarantee long-term stock holds for parties booked several months in advance, but will always ensure an appropriate replacement is provided within the same product category. 

Munch Meals and party platters can be customised for your guests during the checkout process. We provide the same kids’ drink option across all Munch Meals. While we strive to accommodate each customer’s needs on the day of the event, drink options may be exchanged for another available kids’ drink if needed.
