Lubbock Moms Guide to Birthday Party Venues

One of the most commonly asked questions in any local mom group is where to have a birthday party. These posts always make me happy as I read them because I learn something new every. single. time. Lubbock has so many options for all ages, and it can be overwhelming to make that decision, so I took it upon myself to compile a guide of 10 venues that I have been to and love. Let’s dive in!

1. Blazing Bouncers

Blazing Bouncers is fun for all ages. They have six available party rooms with two styles to pick from – a large room (backyard room) or a Small room (private room). The price varies depending on which room you choose. The backyard rooms are private and include an exclusive private play area; your guests will also have access to the open play area. The private rooms do not have a private play area, but the guests can access the open play area throughout the party. With both packages, tables and chairs are provided, you can bring your outside food/drinks, and the staff does the clean-up for you! You honestly cannot go wrong booking a party at Blazing Bouncers.

2. Party Time Ponies and Events

Party Time Ponies is an absolute blast all around! There are animals to feed, a bounce house to enjoy, yard games to be played, a barn with tables and chairs, and even a wallaby to party with! You can choose a private party with unlimited guests or a party shared with another party to save on costs. You can bring in your food/drinks, and they offer a couple of different add-ons that your party guests could enjoy! Animals and a bounce house? Who could ask for more?!

3. Holly Hop Ice Cream Shoppe

Lubbock’s vintage-style malt shop, soda fountain, and fresh sandwich eatery on the northwest corner of 34th St. & Indiana Ave. hosts the most fun birthday parties for all ages! How could you go wrong with HOMEMADE ice cream and mouth-watering, dairy-free sorbet in an atmosphere that brings so much joy as you step back into a simpler time? There’s even a jukebox on which you can play your favorite classic songs for FREE!

4. Science Spectrum 

The Science Spectrum is often overlooked when looking for a party venue! They offer two different packages, which are very affordable and have many perks. Guests can access the entire museum, and there will be a unique educator-led Science Experience of the party child’s choice. You can bring in your outside food, drinks, and decorations. If you are looking for an out-of-the-box birthday experience, look no further: the Science Spectrum is it!

5. At’l Do Farms

At’l Do Farms isn’t only perfect for parties in the Fall; they also offer venue rentals in the off-season for private parties! They offer add-ons such as catering, corn roaster, hay ride, cow train, and more during the off-season. During the Fall season, your party guests will have access to all amenities, including the pumpkin patch and the corn maze!
