It’s the event that strikes dread into every mama’s heart (and wallet): The kids birthday party. They just seem to get more extravagant every year, and Pinterest certainly doesn’t help with its endless stream of picture perfect celebrations.
While we can’t help too much with the what (you’ll need to hit up the pros for that), we can talk all day about the where. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite birthday party venues – from the beach, to the forest, to trampolines, dance studios and animal petting zoos – to ensure you have plenty of birthday party inspo, mama!
In the meantime, also check out our roundups of Singapore kids’ party planners and favorite birthday cake bakeries!

If you’re going to keep things low-key – fewer than 10 kids, food on a picnic blanket, classic birthday party games – you’re probably safe showing up to one of Singapore’s fabulous parks or playgrounds, such as East Coast Park, Tiong Bahru Adventure Playground or Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden. However if you need more space, or want the peace of mind of having shelter in the case of inclement weather, consider booking out one of Nparks’ numerous venues – rates generally start from $450. Click here for more booking info. NB: The Botanic Gardens, HortPark and Fort Canning Park are booked separately. The beautiful Balinese Garden at the HortPark, for instance, can be booked for $500 for the entire day.
