Step 1: Pay for the Party Pen! Make your reservation online by paying the Party Pen Fee: select your date and time slot (or multiple time slots for a longer party)! The online Party Pen Fee covers the rental of the physical Party Pen space for the time(s) you select and holds your spot. It is due in advance as Party Pens reservations will sell out.

Step 2: Pay for Tickets and Add-Ons! Purchase tickets for you and your guests, plus other fun add-ons. Tickets and Add-Ons are in addition to the Party Pen Fee and are payable at check-in.

Upgrade to the Premium Party Pen! Are you hosting a large birthday party, company picnic, employee or client appreciation event, church gathering or youth organization? We now offer the option to upgrade to our Premium Party Pen for extra room and seating to accommodate 60+ people! Please choose Party Pen #4 when making your reservation to reserve this space!
