How to Best use your space when planning a party

Having too much space at your party can be a challenge if not arranged strategically. While your instinct might be to spread out activities, we’ve found it’s best to keep stations close together. This creates a more immersive and visually exciting experience for kids. When activities are clustered, kids can see and get excited about what’s happening around them, making them more likely to participate.

If you have extra space, a good strategy is to concentrate amusements and activities in one dense area, leaving the rest for free open play. Kids are more likely to try new things if they are nearby, rather than having to make a special trip to a distant concession.
