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) aren’t allowed with general admission. Cake or cupcakes are welcome only with a booked birthday package, so you can celebrate properly while we keep the play space clean and guest-friendly.

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, because every guest must have a waiver on file and children can’t enter without one signed by a parent or guardian. Also bring socks for everyone in your group, since socks are required on the play floor.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Kids Empire Gresham is in the Oregon Trail Center in the Rockwood neighborhood (zip 97030), near Interstate 84 and easy to reach via NE Burnside Road, NE 181st Avenue, and NE 223rd Avenue. We’re about 17 miles from downtown, and you’ll find free parking in the shopping center lot for a smooth arrival.

Question 4

I need to step out for a moment. Can I leave my child alone briefly?

Accepted Answer

No — children must be supervised by an adult at all times, and unattended children are not permitted. The reserved party tables near the play structures make it easy to keep your group together while kids play big.

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 all adults and children in the play area for cleanliness and safety. If someone forgets, socks are available for purchase on-site (it’s a great reminder to add to invitations).

Question 6

How long does the birthday party last?

Accepted Answer

Your reserved party table is for 2.5 hours, and your package includes all-day access. That means guests can come before the party start time or keep playing until closing — no rushing the fun.

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 seating in the open play area (no private rooms), beverages, snacks for kids, plus setup and cleanup handled by our team. Play Big is the simplest pre-made option, while Play Your Way lets you tailor the celebration 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 right next to the play structures to keep kids close to the action. It’s the perfect “home base” for snacks, cake, and watching the fun without missing a moment.

Question 9

Is a deposit required to book a party?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a $150 deposit is required to reserve your date and time, and it goes toward your total balance. Kids Empire Gresham is fully cashless, so any add-ons or day-of purchases must be paid by card.
