Yes, for additional fees depending on availability and based on the party type. When scheduling your party please let the Event Manager know that you are interested in adding additional time to your party. Do I include parents when I m counting my group size? Any adults planning to participate in the activity should be included as part of the party count. For example, if parents will be swimming with the kids, or climbing the rock wall, they would be included in the activity count. If they re just coming to watch, you don t have to include them in the group count. However, if you re ordering catering, don t forget to count adults if you plan on feeding them! What is the party host allowed to bring? As the party host, you will be allowed to bring a dessert option such as cupcakes or cake. You are responsible for providing your own birthday party utensils, napkins, plates, and cups. For pool parties, you might want to bring extra towels. If you bring party favors, please do not distribute them until the end of the party. Can we bring in other food and drinks for our party? No, you may only bring your dessert and party bags. Any additional food or beverage must be ordered through our Catering Department, and will be decided two weeks in advance. The Kroc Center does not require a catering minimum, but we do offer the option for your party. When can we eat during the party? The last hour of your scheduled party is reserved for food and beverages in your Kroc Birthday Party Room. Other eating times can be arranged and discussed with our Event Manager on a case by case basis. What time can I get into the Kroc Birthday Party room? You may get into your scheduled party room no more than 15 minutes prior to the party room portion of your event. What will be in the Kroc Birthday Party room when we arrive for our party? Tables and chairs will be set up in advance for your party. Party tables are set up in a U-shape and there will be extra tables for food, cake and gifts. Are we allowed to bring in party decorations? Due to the limited amount of time that you have to prepare your party room (10-15 minutes) we suggest that the decorations be kept as simple as possible. Items we recommend would be tablecloths, party plates/cups, and small table arrangements.
