All-Day Indoor Fun at Our Lodi Playground
Kids Empire Lodi is built for big energy and bigger smiles. Birthday guests get to explore a sprawling multi-level maze of padded play structures, race down winding slides, dive into the ball pit, and giggle their way through obstacle passages designed for kids of all ages. A dedicated toddler zone means even the littlest guests can join the fun safely, while older kids keep the adventure going on the jungle gym and dance floor.
Here's the standout value for Lodi families: every birthday package includes all-day park access. Your reserved party table is held for 2.5 hours, but guests can arrive early and stay until closing — making it the most fun-packed birthday in Bergen County. Parents can cheer from comfortable seating right next to the action or jump in and play alongside the kids!
FAQs: Planning Your Birthday Party at Kids Empire Lodi
I'm bringing my child for their birthday but don't want a package. Can I still bring a cake?
No outside food or drinks — including cake — are permitted with general admission. However, birthday cakes and cupcakes are warmly welcomed when you book one of our birthday packages. It's a great reason to explore what our packages include — you'll be glad you did!
I'm invited to a birthday party. Is there anything I should do before arriving?
Yes! Every person entering Kids Empire Lodi must have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian — no child can enter without one. Sign yours online before you arrive to skip the line and head straight to the fun. Also, remember to bring socks for everyone in your group. That's truly all you need!
Where is Kids Empire Lodi located, and is there parking available?
Kids Empire Lodi is located in Lodi Plaza (zip code 07644), easily accessible via Interstate 80, U.S. Route 46, NJ Route 17, and the Garden State Parkway (primary exit 63). Families traveling along Main Street, Outwater Lane, or MacArthur Avenue will find us a quick and convenient drive away. NJ Transit buses and trains also serve the area. Best of all, free parking is available right in the plaza lot — stress-free arrival guaranteed for your whole party group!
I need to step out for a second. Can I leave my child alone briefly?
No. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times while at Kids Empire Lodi. Leaving a child unattended is considered child abandonment and is never permitted. Our reserved tables in the open play area make it easy for parents to stay close while the kids explore every inch of the maze.
