Can I have Balloons? Pinata? Decorations?
Our Gym and Party areas are bright and busy. Additional decorations are unnecessary. We cannot accommodate Pinatas at either location. We do not recommend Balloons because the ceiling is too high and the balloons even with weights rise and we cannot retrieve them.

What if my guests have Special Needs?
We welcome all guests with special needs but our party instructors are not special needs instructors. We ask the parents of special needs children to stay during the party. Please let us know if any of your guests have special needs during the Monday before your party phone call.

When should we arrive for the party? Where should we place our things?
Please arrive no more than 10 minutes before the start of your party. Our party coordinators will have your party space ready for you at that time. There will be a designated party area for your party guests' presents, coats and shoes. Please wait for the staff members to take the children into the gym.

How do I access the email invitations?
If you booked your party on line then you will be able to access invitations to email at any time. Log into your "Account Management" page, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Create Invitations". If you booked your party in person or over the phone then email invitations are not an option. 

What if my guests forget the waiver?
It is best to have your guests bring the waiver with them, your guests cannot enter the party area until the waiver is complete. We have waivers available at each location and they can be filled out by a parent or guardian.

Are non-birthday child adults allowed into the gym during my child's party?

What if we want to share the party with another child?

We ask that you email bowie@gosilverstars.com with the date/time of the party, name of each party child, each responsible adult and phone number.
