Choosing the right destination for your child’s birthday party can be quite the undertaking. Can the venue accommodate all of the children on their list? Is there ample parking? Can parents bring in outside food? Luckily, the Schaumburg area has no shortage of great venues that specialize in making birthday parties the best day ever!
Color Me Mine
- Address: 5 Woodfield Mall, Schaumburg
- Cost: Packages start at $24 per guest
If your child loves art, Color Me Mine provides a fun and creative outlet to unleash their inner artist. Guests can choose their own pottery piece from hundreds of items, including plates, mugs, banks, boxes, and figurines, and get to work. All pieces are glazed, fired and individually wrapped by staff and picked up by the birthday party host a week later.
Enterrium
- Address: 5 Woodfield Mall, Schaumburg
- Cost: Packages start at $24 per guest
Kids ages 5-12 will have a blast attending a birthday party at Enterrium, a premier vintage style arcade located inside Woodfield Mall.

An hour of bowling can also be added to parties.

An epic birthday party destination, children (and grown-ups alike) will enjoy exploring this two-story Lego lover’s haven.

Mastermind Escape Games
- Address: 1015 E. State Pkwy, Suite 200, Schaumburg

Escape room birthday parties offer a unique and exciting way to celebrate a birthday. Guests will enjoy using teamwork to find clues, solve puzzles and crack the code to escape a locked room before time runs out. Kids can immerse themselves in an exciting adventure or two, as Mastermind currently offers four different rooms (The Shed, Sorcerer’s Secret, Outbreak: Find The Cure, Bank Heist) with various levels of difficulty.
Jumps ‘N Jiggles
- Address: 1000 Wellington Avenue, Elk Grove Village
- Cost: Packages start at $450
Located inside the Elk Grove Recreation Center, Jumps ‘N Jiggles is a hidden gem for the toddler and preschool age group. Here, young kids will love to climb around the indoor playground, featuring a maze of tunnels, a spiral slide and a bouncing yo-yo ball. The big draw, however, is a 28-foot-high freestanding carousel, where kids can ride on jumping horses and swan chariots.
