ABQ Mom Team Recommendations and Parent Reviews
We hosted a party at Santa Fe Children’s Museum. We were able to decorate their party room and bring in our own food. All of our guests received a full day’s admission to the museum! It was a bit of a trek for our ABQ guests, so we gave suggestions on activities to do in the area after the party. Our friends and family loved making a day trip out of the event!

We recently celebrated my son’s 5th birthday at Top Golf. They have a selection of small-sized clubs for the kids. He has celebrated a total of three birthdays there and loves it! They also bring out a birthday treat.
-Eena
My daughter had a birthday party at Electric Playhouse last spring. Obviously, the kids had a blast. I love how physically active it is for them. And I really loved that it’s relatively quiet there. Sometimes I get over-stimulated at party venues, but not at Electric Playhouse.
-Vanessa
We’ve been to several birthday parties at Urban Air and our boys love it. Play structures, ball pits, trampolines, climbing walls, a giant zip line, dodgeball. It’s a kids’ dream! They have private rooms upstairs, but I’ve also seen lots of parties at the less expensive tables downstairs.
-Paige
Recently attended a bday party at Ultimate Ninja Gym. They had a separate party room. It was reserved for the party and the staff was available to explain all the rules and even assist if needed. It is so fun for older and younger alike as they have a fun obstacle course for all ages! Loved it!
-Elizabeth J.
We celebrated our daughter’s 10th birthday party at Fallout Trampoline Park and recently attended another party there for my 5-year-old niece. Our party was reserved during regular business hours so other people were jumping at the same time, but we had a reserved room for our guests to decorate and provide food and drinks within. My niece’s party was held in the evening and booked solely for her party guests. This was nice for the younger crowd since they didn’t have to worry about much larger kids and adults jumping too hard around them. Both events provided a great party atmosphere with lots of fun for everyone!

We held our son’s birthday at the ABQ BioPark Zoo. He’s an animal lover so it fit his personality perfectly. We set up in the grassy area and asked our guests to bring their own blankets or chairs. We hauled our food and gifts in with a wagon. Many of our guests had memberships to the zoo, but we did offer to purchase tickets for anyone who did not have a membership. Our favorite was a ticket on the carousel—we got all the kids to go in one big group and it was a blast!
-Dena K.
I rented the white bounce house from Tents and Dreams for a birthday party. The staff is just lovely and were perfectly on time with pick up and drop off. But the best thing was how beautiful the bounce house is. I will treasure the dreamy photos and videos from that party forever.

I hosted my son’s third birthday party at Explora this past April. The staff helped us put up decorations and were flexible with us when we had more RSVPs than expected (like 50 vs 30 LOL). It was also cool that all of our attendees got free admission to the children’s museum after our party.

We just celebrated my daughter’s 3rd birthday at The Little Gym. It was the most fun and least stressful party I’ve ever hosted. They do the set-up, play games, serve the food, decorate, and clean up. They have a bunch of decorations in-house or you can drop off decorations for them to use. My daughter wanted a Bluey Gymnastics party, so I dropped off a box with Bluey decor and they had everything set up and ready to go when we arrived. We brought food (pizza, chips, fruit, and veggies), and they served all the kiddos. They had little tables and chairs just for the kids in the party room and adult tables in the big entry room. My kid was so stoked! 10/10 absolutely recommend!

Paul, Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!!! Alea loved her party! All the parents and children were so impressed with your show. It was delightful to hear all the parents laugh and watch the kids interact with you when they were able to stop laughing! I’m amazed you were able to incorporate clean humor that engaged a three year old up to a 62 year old. Kip and I truly appreciate your ability to make Alea’s 5th birthday party “the party” she’ll remember.
-Noel D.
Had my daughter’s 2nd birthday party at Bounce n’ Boogie. It was great. All our guests had such a great time and all took really long naps afterwards!
-Leeanna G.
We hosted our son’s 4th birthday party at Bounce and Boogie and had a wonderful experience! The staff was very easy to coordinate with via text and helped us set up our decorations and taken them down after the party. The activities were fun and engaging for little ones, the space well-appointed for our group, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. Birthday party rates are more affordable than other venues in town, too. I would highly recommend B&B for little kid birthday parties!
-Alyssa O.
What an amazing time our 12 year old and her friends had! The owner and staff took care of every detail and made sure the party was a huge success from the party tables, decor, ice cream sundaes and of course the escape room experience. The girls had a blast! Highly recommend!
-Kerrie M.
