Birthday Party at iTrampoline

The first time I took my son, Cade, to iTrampoline he jumped for 90 minutes straight and could have gone longer.  When it was time to plan his 7th birthday party, he asked if we could rent a bounce house.  I first agreed, but then the thought of ten little boys jumping together and the damage they could potentially cause had me quickly retract my okay.  I suggested iTrampoline and he was more than thrilled. 

Located in Kapolei, iTrampoline is home to over 14,000 square feet of trampoline space that is specially designed with spring loaded frames for more give and bounce and two inch thick safety pads.  Only one person is allowed in a square at a time with the exception of young children with a parent.  There are also court monitors making sure all the safety rules are followed.  In addition to the trampoline space, there is a foam pit and spaces where you can play dodgeball and basketball. 

iTrampoline has several birthday party packages to choose from and it was very easy to make a selection online.  The party packages include jump time and a reserved party space.  They really take care of everything.  When we arrived, we were taken to our party space where the tables were already set up and covered with tablecloths.  Our party host checked in the jumpers and when it was time to eat provided the plates, napkins, and utensils - even a cake cutter!  Our package included pizza and drinks, but you can bring your own food.  No outside drinks are allowed with the exception of water-filled hydroflasks.  Every jumper needs a waiver that can be easily filled online and grip socks (sold at iTrampoline for $3).

Cade said it was his best birthday party ever which made it worth every cent.

Birthday Party at the Movies

My son, Cade, loves dinosaurs so when we found out Disney and Pixar would be releasing The Good Dinosaur on his birthday, it was like the birthday party gods had given us a gift.

When you throw a birthday party at the movies, you have a lot of different options.  Luckily, at the Mililani Consolidated Theatres there is a party room that you can rent which was perfect for us. 

It's a bit of a gamble as there is no guarantee the theatre will be showing a children's movie the weekend of your party.  You also don't find out the showtime of the movie until the Tuesday before.  For this reason, I decided to include coloring and activity sheets in the goodie bags in case there was a long wait. 

Turns out there wasn't!  We had set up for the party the night before and arrived at the theatre in the morning.  Fifteen minutes later they were escorting us to our seats and passing out the kids' popcorn meals we ordered with the party package.  They called the birthday boy to the front of the theatre and we sang Happy Birthday.  They then let Cade give the projection room orders to start the show!  So much fun! 

After the movie, we went back to the party room where we had lunch and cupcakes.  The kids had lots of space to play.  When you rent the room you are responsible for putting the tables and chairs back, but that's it! 

We loved having a birthday party at the movies!  The staff was excellent and made our party a huge success!

A Birthday Party at Tiki Island

Two years ago we held my youngest's birthday party at Tiki Island on Marine Corps Base Hawaii.

Everyone had so much fun, so when we decided to have a combined party for my oldest two boys, Tiki Island was the obvious choice.

They offer two party package options in 3 hour blocks which include unlimited bumper boat rides and miniature golf during the 3 hours.  The difference between the two packages is that one includes lunch (Diamond Head Keiki Party Package - $20) and the other does not (Recreation Party Package - $16).

Just as the last party, we opted for the Recreation Party Package and catered the food from the nearby Samuel Adam's Sports Grill.

Fruit Platter

Steamed White Rice

Char Siu Chow Mein

Pork Gyoza

Teriyaki Beef

Chips

Salsa

Beer Battered Fish

French Fries

Garlic Chicken

The Gyoza, Garlic Chicken, and Beer Battered Fish were the favorite dishes based on the comments of the guests - and I have to agree!  Those were all of my favorites too!

We once again ordered cupcakes from The Patisserie through the catering department (outside food is not allowed, with the exception of ceremonial cake).  They were HUGE and so delicious (well, I only tried the Chantilly because I LOVE Chantilly and it was amazing, but those who tried the Red Velvet thought it was amazing too)!  Lot of people were asking me where the cupcakes were from.

Everyone raved about the food, and they also raved about how much fun their kids were having on the bumper boats and miniature golf courses.

In addition to the miniature golf and bumper boats, there is also a batting cage that is free to use.

Service was excellent.  The staff at Tiki Island and Samuel Adam's Sports Grill made it so easy to plan a party.

I heard so many positive comments about the food and the venue, and that was all made possible thanks to the staff.

It was another fantastic birthday party!
