Expect the best party
The toys we stock are not behind glass cases to be "won" after $$$$$ token machines are played over and over. Our toys are real and good for all ages. They run on human energy and imagination, no batteries , no programming , and no instructions necessary. We keep the tables full for your playing and learning pleasure. These are the building blocks that foster spontaneity and creative thinking in each of us. There are no video game rooms and no vending machines & no WiF
There is a great chance to play together without all the tension , noise , and expense that we have learned to expect when hosting a child's party or sports event. Our hope is that your child's event is enjoyed and remembered by all .
" This is the best party I have ever been to ! "
These are the words I listen to hear as the guests talk to one another during breaks from playing . Kids of all ages are amazed by the games and activities at Go Play Outside Now . Expect your child to get a " popularity boost" from hosting their party at Go Play Outside Now. Encourage your children to invite a new potential friend to their party. New friendships sprout from these events where they get acquainted with LOTS to do .
Parents, Grandparents Aunts and Uncles ( and other important adults ) are given a free admission during the time of their child's party. We drag them into all the games we can. This delights the entire family and grown ups make excellent targets for the laser tag games. Look out though; some very innocent looking Grandmothers have been known to drop electronic grenades into the field while admiring their precious grandchildren. We promise to keep everyone well entertained all through the party; with playing sand volleyball , basketball, riding the monster slides; swinging on the tires along with group jump roping and tug-o-wars. For the younger siblings there is plenty to do in the mock campground and play cabins along with more than 25 pedal cars and wagons waiting for a drive around nearly 1 mile of paths through the park.
Treat your guests: When people play outside and play hard they don't eat much. We recommend light snacks and three times more water bottles than you have ever seen them drink. Bring a sharpie marker to label their bottle to prevent waste. There are a few Pizza and Sub delivery stations near by who will deliver to your party at Go Play Outside Now. We are very strict in our "no alcohol allowed " policy so please do your guests a favor ( for those inclined ) let them know in advance. Some will scoff a bit ; but none will be disappointed by the quality of fun shared by all.
How does a typical party flow? The hosting family arrives 15 to 30 minutes before party time set up their party headquarters. This may be beneath the main pavilion , covered picnic shelter, in or outside one of two cabins , at tables beneath the trees, at tables set near the firepit , out by the slides or even in our mock campground area. We assign your spot in the park according to the size , ages and abilities of guests to allow a safe and steady flow of guest traffic thru the park. We do not vary party pricing based on location of party; thus you cannot upgrade to certain spot by paying more. At no time will we schedule and promise in advance one party spot to one party, however I can promise that each party will enjoy old fashioned good times and have full use of all of our attractions and necessities.
A couple guests will arrive early, most on time; and there has to be a couple of Mom's ( like myself) who are reliably lost or late. But this is no problem because as soon as each guest arrives and hands over a signed waiver ( from parent) they can immediately begin exploring and playing in the park. There is no waiting in lines or worrying that we won't all be there on time for the fun to begin. We want the host to enjoy the party they have planned as much as their guests so we minimize the importance of tightly schedule activities to maximize the fun for all. If any of your guests have special needs or physical limitations and you want us to customize the play for that; just share the information and we will do our best to accommodate all without fanfare or awkwardness. We are willing to learn anything and everything you need us to ; to make this gathering a hit.
After your group is assembled we check in with you and suggest a time to begin laser tag game There may be a guest or even the birthday person who chooses not to join the organized play of laser tag games. This is no problem as there are dozens of other games toys and activities to amuse them and they wont be missed or singled out for playing different.
After one or two 15 minute games of laser tag in the woods ; Its a good time for refreshments , snacks or cake. This is a good time to enjoy open play You will be amazed at how well kids of all ages play together when they have some non-structured time After their snacks have settled we call the players back for another round of laser tag.
Theme parties : we have seen many geared for all different ages. The most spectacular to me was the family I called "colorful" 4 or 5 generations were in attendance and either came with brightly colored hair or received a coloring upon arrival. Yes even great great Grandma, and everyone in between. Theme parties add some excitement to the gathering . Please give us a hint if you are planning a theme party so we can help you have a great time and assure safety for all. Organized party games that you plan for your guests are welcomed. We have seen sack races, relay races, obstacle courses run, and contest of skills; again lets us know what you are hoping for and we will help you make it safely to the finish line.
Games we do not allow include ( but may not be limited to) EATING CONTESTS & DRINKING CONTESTS - EATING WHILE RUNNING- CONTESTS SPINNING BLINDFOLDED GUESTS MORE THAN THREE or FOUR TIMES FOR PINATA GAME- GROUP CHANTING AT GUEST GAMES WHEN ONE IS TARGET OF MANY VOICES; ANY SPINNING OF GUESTS TO PROMOTE LOSS OF BALANCE- HE MAN STYLE CONTESTS OF STRENGTH & ENDURANCE . We will announce a pause for water and recoup during games we manage or you supply when we see fatigue is/could be an issue for participants. Once refreshed games can resume. We have so much to offer in good clean non-competitive fun and your guests ( of all ages ). We need not wear them out with push-up contests and expect them to run the park safely. I have seen it once; and I will not allow it . Our modern world is full of " extreme sports " however Go Play Outside Now LLC is not.
We have never had a party leave on time, no one is in a hurry to go when everyone is satisfied and entertained. After your " two hour " party time is reached we may ask you to relocate your guests to make room for another scheduled group on busy days. There will be many comfortable tables to relocate to ; as your party winds down . Parents who thought they would drop off their youth; stay and visit with one another stroll about the woods, and often join in the fun of laser tag ! If you have additional children with you (who were not paid party guest ) please pay at the gate 10$ each or $5 for under 36" height .
Another great compliment we have over heard is from Dad's : "Finally a party I actually get to enjoy" which we recognize as the highest praise possible.

Remember the Doll Cake? And the Football cake ? I remember my kids birthdays by what kind of cake we had that year. Cupcakes are very popular now too . Food Lion at Highway 42 has been turning out some great cakes lately too. I know this as it is very rare, to leave the park without feeding the Ann.
