Questions parents ask
How much does a kids' birthday party cost in Ottawa?
Most party places in Ottawa charge $250 to $450 for 12 kids, usually with a host and a party room. Renting a City of Ottawa room and running it yourself is the cheapest way to host.
How far ahead should I book?
Four to six weeks for a Saturday or Sunday, longer in December and around March break. Weekday and Friday evening parties are easier to get on short notice.
What are good party ideas for a 5 year old?
Indoor playgrounds, gymnastics, trampoline parks and character visits all work well at 5. Keep it to about 90 minutes. Serve food at the end.
Do these prices include tax?
Prices are what each place publishes, usually before tax. Add 13% HST in Ottawa, or about 15% GST and QST in Gatineau.
