Do you want to throw a GREAT birthday party for your children without the hassle and frazzle of planning it, setting up activities and cleaning up? We have the perfect solution for you! Have your party at our place, Seattle Gymnastics Academy!



You will enjoy an hour of supervised recreation on gymnastics events and specialized equipment. We will provide invitations, a party space, a whole bunch of fun and -best of all- we clean up. All you have to do is bring your special table decorations, paper products, birthday food, drinks and kids! We also include a present for the birthday child and helium balloons & goody bags for all of the kids!

Your children will love our jump-in foam pit, our obstacle courses, gigantic tunnel, rope swings, trampoline, Tumbl Trak and our instructors.

When you want an active party for lots of kids and it's raining -- think of our 15,000 square feet of child-friendly , rain-proof space!

Ask your friends who have been here -- our parties get great reviews!

Each party customer turns in a report card on how we did. Here's an example of one that was recently turned in:

"Dear Barb -- I am writing to let you know what a success the birthday party was on June 10th. This was my 1st attempt to have a party with lots of kids and as a single parent I wasn't sure if I could actually pull it off...! I did & what really helped me was the wonderful help from all of your staff. Diane "talked" me through the logistics in the planning stages and let me take home the "goodie bags" earlier in the week. One child has a nut allergy & I wanted to make certain the candy would pass muster -- it did. Elaine, Keith and Emily were so enthusiastic and careful with children new to gymnastics. Their professionalism & take charge attitude allowed me to really relax. The party room was clean, ready & the exact right size. Thank you for the balloons and for making the shoes & socks appear magically. [Susan] has told so many neighbors what fun the party was for her -- thanks so much. This party will be a great memory for us!" -- Happy Mom, June 2007

Lead Times: Call early to reserve your date. Call 206-362-7447 in Seattle to schedule your party. During the bad weather seasons, parties typically book up about two months in advance. During the summer, two or three weeks is usually enough lead time.

Payment: Once you pay us, we book staff and space irretrievably. Due to these commitments, your initial payment and your final payment for your party are non-refundable.

Facilities: We will assign you a party area based on your party's estimated size. If you need more room at the last minute, it will be difficult to move you because we usually run full. If we can accomodate you with a larger room, we certainly will!

General Information:
· The host family should arrive 15 minutes early.
· 30 minutes before the gymnastics portion of the party ends, the host family is able to go set up the party room.
· Children should wear gym clothes (active wear) and will have bare feet during gym time. Jeans are not allowed on the equipment. Shorts and t-shirts are fine. Long hair should be tied back.
· Only children who are invited guests may be on the equipment. Sorry, no adults on any equipment.
· SGA will give a helium filled, latex balloon and a goody bag containing 6 to 8 pieces of candy to each confirmed guest.
· You provide the party room decorations, paper products, supplies, birthday cake, ice cream and drinks.
· Time in the party room is set at up to 60 minutes. Please be considerate of the next party and end your party on time.
· SGA is assumes no responsiblity for lost or stolen items, so please keep track of your personal items. Don't wear anything valuable in the pit! If lost in the pit, whatever it is (PDA's, phones, ear rings, jewelry, etc.) may stay lost for three to six months!


Procedure: The host family should arrive approximately 15 minutes before the party is scheduled to start. You will be met by the SGA birthday host who will show you where to leave party supplies and food while the kids get ready for gym time.

As children arrive, they leave shoes, socks and outdoor wear in the changing room and put presents in the "birthday barrel". They gather on the bleachers until it's time for the party to begin.

The host parents go into the party room to decorate and get everything ready for cake and ice cream approximately mid-way through gym time. The SGA birthday host or hostess will let you know when the party room is ready for you to decorate and will bring the "presents barrel" from the lobby area.

After the gym hour is over, the kids are shown into the party room for birthday treats and presents. You will have up to one hour in the party room. Talk with the SGA party host or hostess if you have any questions about this.

Once all the cake is eaten and the presents are opened, you leave the mess for us to clean up. One helpful note: if you notice a big glob of ice cream or cake on the foam-backed carpeting, we'd appreciate your scooping it up or notifying us right away so that it doesn't become a permanent part of our facility!
