Why Have A Indoor Playground?

Description

If you reside in an area such as we do in Western New York (we’re in Rochester!) With beautifully warm summers and cold snowy winters, you’ll know that your choices for your child’s birthday party are mostly dependent on the weather.
As an August baby, we constantly had small family parties outside at my residence. But, with sons born in November and March, we are constantly left to book an indoor place for their celebrations, if we chose to have them that season. While those with children with summer birthdays may seem lucky to have so many options at their disposal, it can also often feel overwhelming.
While in Climbing Vines Cafe and Play we might be biased because we sponsor indoor parties, I wanted to share with you the 5 most common reasons we hear from past celebration customers to reserve indoor summer evenings with us. To them, the stress-free nature of the indoor summertime celebration is really a no-brainer, and they’re not looking back! Following their initial indoor summer celebration , they continue hosting with us year after year.

1) NO WEATHER WORRIES

The most common cause for a customer to book a summer indoor celebration with us is so they don’t need to stem the weather forecast for updates in the weeks leading up to the celebration. And if you’ve ever had to cancel or postpone your kid’s birthday because of weather, you know how heartbreaking that could be.
We receive dozens of calls each summer a few days before someone’s outdoor celebration is supposed to take place to find out if we’ve got an open slot for them within our indoor celebration place due to weather woes. We can normally pull off this if the place remains open, but hosts will unfortunately need to starve and let all of their guests know of the change in venue and likely change in time, and also change all their catering orders to accommodate their new party program.
While of course rain is most likely the largest obstacle you might face, intense warmth, unseasonably cool weather, and wind may also pose issues to your decorations, food, along with your guests‘ possessions. You’ll probably find yourself investing in a kayak or some other weather barrier just to ease your mind a bit, which are costly and require a great deal of precious time to prepare and take down. I will not even tell the narrative of this time my Dad put a tent up for a celebration in a windstorm and wound up with an insurance coverage for 4 ruined automobiles when it withdrew (weights and anchors and all!) …

Aside from the obvious weather concerns it’s possible to avoid with a indoor celebration, there can also just be something really simple and lovely about a indoor summer celebration. Guests won’t need to worry about bringing towels and sunscreen and sunglasses and swimsuits and changes of clothes and bug spray… you get the picture.
Sometimes it’s wonderful to take a short break in the outdoors, sip coffee in an air borne cafe, and have a real conversation with other adults while the children play, rather than chasing kids around trying to get their hat on them keeping them away from your in-ground pool. I am not sure about you, but I can never quite relax at an outdoor summer birthday celebration with a 2 and a 4 year-old. While they sure do have a fantastic time running around, we usually leave at a daze or with a tantrum, unsure whether we had time to talk or check in with everyone.
While I absolutely adore a fantastic barbecue or summertime grilling extravaganza, I also find it refreshing when we could take a break in the same-old backyard celebration and spend a few hours in a relaxing, cool, and most significantly — included! — air.
It’s also freeing as a guest to have the rest of the day to do as we wish as a family and not have to worry about getting the kids to a bath immediately after the party or quitting home to cool off and change clothes.
I promise that in the event you reserve an indoor party for your child, guests (especially family) may seem a little confused at first (why not take advantage of the summer weather while we can, right?) But after hosting countless indoor parties I can tell you for certain that on the day-of, you and your visitors will realize how nice it is to kick back within an air-conditioned private party for a few hours.

3) EATING IN PEACE

Speaking of how relaxing a indoor, air-conditioned party could be, how can we talk about food for a moment?
Right now, my sweet 4 year old boy is terrified of bees, and the fastest way to send him into a tailspin would be for him to sit down to eat a cupcake or his meal and have bees swarming around. So, for our loved ones, the meals factor alone would be enough to justify an indoor celebration.
Eating in peace without needing to find colour or a chair or a place away from bugs is one of those things that you do not realize can be so magnificent before you attend your fourth or fifth outside summer gathering and after that get a rest from
