FREE Kid’s Party at Shipgarten

It’s a bird… it’s a plane… no, it’s your kid’s birthday fast approaching! Can you think of a better way for your little one to celebrate their special day than frolicking on one of our moon bounces or climbing on our playground? We don’t age discriminate either – the newest of walkers can enjoy our toddler playground while those big boys and girls can challenge themselves on our monkey bars or climbing gym.  Is that it? No – of course it’s not! On weekends, your little one can channel their inner Batman, Cinderella, or even Picasso on their special day with our face painting and crafts activities. We serve up a kids’ menu packed with their favorite foods – chicken fingers, pizza, french fries and more – or if they are feeling adventurous, we offer asian fusion, mexican & waffles, persian, or german food from our four dining concepts. Waffles for lunch and then we cut your cake for you? Sounds like a plan!  The best part – as your kid has the time of their life with all of their friends, you can sit back at one of our firepits and sip on one of our 50+ draft offerings or specialty cocktails as you relish in just how amazing your little one is. With no rental fee or any minimums, you won’t find a better place to host your party than right here at Shipgarten! click here for the kids catering menu click here for the desserts menu click here for regular catering menu click here for happy hour menu
