Build Your Package:
Choose "Play Your Way" for customizable add-ons, or pick "Play Big" for an easy, ready-to-celebrate party.

FAQs: Planning Your Birthday Party at Kids Empire Watchung
I'm bringing my child for their birthday but don't want to book a package. Can I still bring a cake?
No—outside food or drinks (including cake) are not allowed with general admission. Birthday cakes or cupcakes are welcomed only with a booked birthday package, so you can celebrate with us the right way.
I'm invited to a birthday party. Is there anything I should do before arriving?
Yes—please sign the waiver online before you arrive. Every child must have a waiver signed by a parent/guardian to enter, and doing it early helps your group get in quickly. Also bring socks for everyone; socks are required, and we have them for purchase if needed.
Where is Kids Empire Watchung located, and is parking available?
Kids Empire Watchung is in the Watchung Square Plaza (ZIP 07069) on US-22 West, near local anchors like Walmart, Target, and Stop & Shop. We’re about 5 minutes from Downtown Plainfield and around 20 minutes from Downtown Somerville, making us an easy meetup spot for nearby towns. Free parking is available in the plaza lot for a smooth, stress-free arrival.
I need to step out for a moment. Can I leave my child briefly?
No—children must be supervised by an adult at all times. Leaving a child unattended is considered child abandonment and isn’t allowed. The good news: your reserved tables are right by the play area, so it’s easy to stay close while they play big.
