Birthday parties really pick up once your kids enter school, and certain seasons (looking at you, September/October babies…) can be incredibly busy. Each season has its own share of perks and challenges when planning a child’s birthday.

We want to take the stress out of party planning for *all* budgets by rounding up some of our favourite places to host a birthday, party favor ideas, and places to get special sweet treats.

Outdoor Birthday Spots
Summer birthdays have it easy when it comes to party planning. If you can count on the weather, then you can plan an easygoing park meetup where friends and family can come and go as they need. However, it’s nice to have a covered space if your hopes for a sunny day don’t go as planned. Each city has a plethora of reservable park spaces, but it’s important to book early as they get popular once summer is in full swing! For more information, click here.
