Planning a birthday party can be a significant undertaking. Between finding a venue, coordinating activities, and managing a crowd of energetic children, it’s easy for the fun to get overshadowed by the stress. If you're looking for a hassle-free, secure, and genuinely exciting space in Northlake to celebrate your child, look no further than the private birthday party rental at The Hive.

We offer a dedicated, kid-friendly environment that guarantees hours of laughter and memorable moments for your child and their friends—all with the convenience you need to actually enjoy the celebration.

The Advantage of Private Space

What sets The Hive apart is the complete privacy we offer. When you book your event with us, you are securing a private birthday party rental that gives your entire guest list exclusive access to our fun facility. This means no competing with other families, no waiting for playground equipment, and no distractions—just a celebration focused entirely on your child.

Our exciting and interactive space is designed to captivate children of all ages, providing a fantastic backdrop for any theme you choose. We handle the venue, you bring the guests, and the party takes off!

Simple, Transparent Pricing and Timing

We believe planning should be simple. Our private birthday party rental is offered at an easy-to-understand $350 flat rate, which includes:

  • Exclusive Use of the Facility: You get the entire Hive to yourselves for the duration of the party.

  • Dedicated Party Attendant: An attendant is scheduled to be available throughout your party time to assist with serving food, cake, and ensuring the party runs smoothly.

  • Convenient Time Block: Parties are booked in a generous 2-hour time block. This reservation also includes an extra 15 minutes before for decorating and 15 minutes after for clean-up, totaling 2.5 hours of access.

For families who need a little extra time, additional half-hour blocks can be purchased for an extra $50, subject to availability.

Hassle-Free Scheduling and Capacity

To ensure your party receives our full attention, all parties are exclusively held on Sundays. Since The Hive operates as a bustling drop-in childcare center throughout the week (Monday through Saturday), reserving Sundays guarantees you the complete private birthday party rental experience.

We are proud to say we do not limit the number of children you can invite—because the more the merrier! However, due to fire code regulations, the total number of people (children and adults combined) at your party is limited to 45 guests.

Key Rules for a Smooth Event

To maintain a safe and fun environment for everyone, we have a few simple rules:

  1. No Shoes: The Hive is a shoeless facility, so all guests—including adults—must remove their footwear upon entering. 

  2. No NUTS, Alcohol, or Red Juice: To protect children with allergies, we strictly prohibit all nut-containing products. Alcohol and red juice are also not permitted.

  3. Food Safety: While outside food and cake are welcome (we can even store your cake in a refrigerator), no food or drinks are allowed on the play structure, and we are unable to heat any food items.

  4. Waivers are Required: For safety and liability, we require a signed liability waiver for every child present at the location. Please inform parents of this requirement ahead of time.

  5. Decorate and Tidy Up: You are welcome to decorate, provided all items are removable and won't damage the facility. We ask that you ensure the area is tidy and all trash and decorations are removed before you leave.
