Romp n' Roll Richmond - West End Birthday Party Attendance Questions:

How many adults can I invite to the party?

There's no limit on the number of adults that you can invite.  In fact, parents of children under 3 are required to stay at the party and provide active supervision.  Parents of children over 3 are welcome to stay or drop-off.

There will be siblings of party guests attending.  Do I have to count them?

Any child in attendance that is not held in a Baby Bjorn (or similar), a car seat or a stroller is counted as a party guest.

Your parties are for children turning 6 and younger.  Can children older than 6 attend?

Any child can attend a Private Party at Romp n' Roll Richmond - West End party regardless of age providing s/he plays safely.  Please note that we reserve the right to ask any child playing unsafely (in our sole discretion) to discontinue play.  For the safety of all guests, only children 6 years and younger may attend a non-private party.  If you are going to have children over the age of 6 attend your party, you must select a private party.

Can parents drop off their children at the party?

For private parties, children 3 years and older may be dropped off at a party.  For non-private parties, there must be at least 1 supervising adult present for every 2 children in attendance, regardless of age.

When do I have to give a final count for attendance?

We will call you a few days prior to your scheduled birthday party time in order to get an estimate of the number of children attending.  If, in the last week before the party, you suspect that your party will exceed the number of children your package provides, please call as soon as possible so that we may provide an additional staff member if needed and/or adjust your charges accordingly. 

What if I exceed the number of children that my party package provides?

There is a $10/child charge for each additional child over the maximum that your party package provides. We do not permit attendance to exceed 25 children in any of our Private birthday parties or 10 in our Share our Space birthday parties.

Questions from Kids:

How fun will my Romp n' Roll Richmond - West End birthday party be, really?

Romp n' Roll is more fun than an ice cream cone on a hot summer day, more fun than going to the park and WAY more fun than running errands with mom and dad.  Imagine your dream place.  Does it have soft floors and can you run around barefoot?  Does it have a trapeze and monkey bars and a rock wall and a super cool bubble machine?  Now imagine a big party there with ALL your friends.  Are you running around like crazy, playing cool games like freeze dance, having an indoor snowball fight and dancing your tushies off?  Oh, and are you the star?  Do you get to wear a crown and eat cake?  Yeah, that's pretty fun, huh?  That's Romp n' Roll.

Speaking of cake, how much can I eat?

Well, that's really up to the grown ups in your life, but it is your special day and you are the star, so Rompy always suggests that you lobby hard for at least two pieces!

Can my Romp n' Roll party go on forever? Please?

We know, we know. A birthday party at Romp n' Roll is just about the most fun you can have in 90 minutes but trust us, you'll play so hard, you'll definitely want to go home and sleep for a while afterwards. But remember, Romp n' Roll has a so many classes that you can come to during the week and once the grown ups enroll you in one of our classes, you'll get to come to open gym (which is a lot like a birthday party, without the cake and presents, of course).  So, talk to your parents about signing you up! We'd love to have you back at Romp n' Roll Richmond - West End!
