Why Imagine That

Not just a party.

An experience they'll never forget.

At Imagine That, we’ve been turning birthdays into memories for over 30 years — and we know what makes a party truly special. With 16,000 square feet of play space, there’s room for every child to run, explore, and discover something new. We host parties for groups of 10 to 200 people, with flexible adjoining party rooms that expand seamlessly to fit your crowd. Our space is constantly growing too, with new exhibits and upgrades added regularly so every visit feels fresh and exciting. Designed to be energetic and stimulating while remaining sensory-friendly, every child feels comfortable, included, and free to have the time of their life. And while most play centers call for a pizza delivery, we do things differently: our full-time chef prepares real, quality food that parents and kids actually love. Many of our staff have been with us for over 25 years — so the people taking care of your family on party day genuinely know what a perfect celebration looks like. When you book at Imagine That, you’re handing the whole day over to people who care deeply about getting it right.
