Question 1

I'm bringing my child for their birthday but don't want to book a package. Can I still bring a cake?

Accepted Answer

No outside food or drinks, including cake, are allowed with general admission. Birthday cakes and cupcakes are welcomed and encouraged only with a booked birthday party package, so your celebration can include the sweet moment without the stress.

Question 2

I'm invited to a birthday party. Is there anything I should do before arriving?

Accepted Answer

Yes — sign the waiver online before you arrive. Every person must have a signed waiver on file, and no child can enter without one completed by a parent or guardian. Also bring socks for everyone; socks are required, and extras are available for purchase on-site if needed.

Question 3

Where is Kids Empire Gilbert located, and is there parking available?

Accepted Answer

Kids Empire Gilbert is in Gateway Ranch, zip code 85295, about 10 minutes from downtown Gilbert and close to the 202 freeway near Williams Field Road. Parking is easy with lots of uncovered spaces right outside, perfect for larger family groups and playdate-style parties.

Question 4

I need to step out for a second. Can I leave my child briefly unattended?

Accepted Answer

No — children must be supervised by an adult at all times. Leaving a child unattended is considered child abandonment and isn’t allowed. Our reserved tables are right by the play area, making it easy to stay close while kids explore.

Question 5

I'm an adult who won't be playing. Do I still have to remove my shoes?

Accepted Answer

Yes — non-grip socks are required for both adults and children for cleanliness and safety. Little ones crawl and play close to the floor, so socks help keep the play space clean. Include a sock reminder in invitations, and buy socks on-site if anyone forgets.

Question 6

How long does the birthday party last?

Accepted Answer

Your reserved party table time is 2.5 hours, and every party guest also gets all-day park access. That means you can arrive before your table time or stay after to play until closing — an easy way to maximize the celebration.

Question 7

What is included in the Kids Empire birthday packages?

Accepted Answer

Both "Play Your Way" and "Play Big" include a dedicated party host, reserved tables in the open play area, beverages, and snacks for the kids, plus setup and cleanup handled by our team. "Play Big" keeps it simple with a pre-made plan, while "Play Your Way" lets you customize with add-ons like extra snacks or drinks.

Question 8

Do you have a private room for the party?

Accepted Answer

No — parties are hosted at reserved tables next to the play structures (not in private rooms). This keeps the excitement up and makes it easy for kids to bounce between the maze and the table, while adults stay comfortably nearby.

Question 9

Is a deposit required to book a party?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a $150 deposit is required at booking to secure your date and time, and it’s applied to your total balance. Kids Empire is fully cashless, so all purchases and add-ons must be paid by card.
