Keeping a roomful of kids amused for an hour can be a tough gig—alongside the stress of organising, hosting, and cleaning up a birthday party for a bunch, it's safe to say it can all be a bit much.

If you want to celebrate in style, without the parental headache, why not try these cool birthday party venues in Melbourne to have a catered, hosted party (with entertainment and games included!) for your next kids' birthday party?

The Best Birthday Party Venues in Melbourne

1. Collingwood Children’s Farm

Collingwood Children's Farm Parties
Collingwood Children's Farm parties 


I’m going to give you a real heads up here: you’re probably going to have to book your birthday party about a year in advance, the Collingwood Children’s Farm is so popular.

It’s easy to see why, though: hosted parties are an absolute barrel of fun for kids and about zero stress for parents. Pony and tractor rides, strolling the farm, chilling with the animals, milking the cows – it’s an idyllic country experience for inner-city families. You can also add on guinea pig cuddles and face painting, and enjoy catered options from The Farm Cafe. 

If you can’t book your preferred day or want to keep costs down, you’re welcome to bring your brood to the farm, take up residence at one of the picnic tables, and party away. Party sorted! 

Location: 18 St Heliers St, Abbotsford
