Birthday Parties
Tarmey Tumbling Birthday Parties are tons of fun for the whole family! The first hour is the tumbling portion with us and the second hour is for whatever you provide, (food, cake, presents, etc). We start with fun warm ups and stretching, then we usually leave the rest up to the birthday girl or boy. We usually do a fun obstacle course followed by any of the following: parachute games, dodgeball, rope swing, getting rolled in the barrel, or four squares! The overall age of the kids participating also influences what activities we do. Then the kids take a break and go to the back section for the food/presents portion. That usually only takes 45 minutes, so they have a little free time at the end for other games that I mentioned before. You can bring any food, drinks, decorations, or other activities that you want! We have up to 4 folding tables for your use and plenty of chairs. I would bring table cloths because they aren't the prettiest tables, plus clean up is easier. The Birthday Party Package costs $150 and covers up to 12 kids in the tumbling activities! More children can participate for only $5 more for each extra child. If you want a longer party, each additional half hour is $50. Other information:
