Best Boys Birthday Party Ever at Joyride 150 Bike Park

Jayden had been counting down to his birthday for months. Over the summer, we had looked online and visited some local outdoor skateparks and hit Joyride (it’s $17 after 7pm) to practice for the big day! Jayden recently had his 9th birthday party at Joyride 150 Bike Park in Markham with 12 of his best buddies. “Best Party Ever” was echoed by my biggest critics…and of course the best part of hosting a kids’ birthday party is seeing your child and their friends having the greatest time….now they all want their next birthday party at the same place!

What you can expect from a party at Joyride 150;

1. Booking a party at Joyride 150 was really easy. The party includes 3 hours at the park, which was more than enough time (of course three kids stayed an extra half hour for more fun on the ramps). You can use the 3 hours however you like and you have the party room for the entire time! This was great for the kids to come take a rest, have a snack and drink of water before they got back out on the ramps and circuits.

2. Incredible variety of activities for all bikers: There really was something for all the bikers at our party. You really have to be a confident bike rider to enjoy the full experience at the park. I would definitely recommend that kids should be 8 or older to have good judgement when it comes to knowing their limits. There is a beginner and intermediate area where we spent most of our time, including the very awesome foam pit. The “black diamond” area was out of our skill level, but the kids just loved watching some of the pros. Even some of the grown ups got in on the fun and tried the ramps and trails.

3.  Great Supervision and Safety: All parents have to complete the online (and very easy) waiver to have contact info on file. We were required to send the full list of attendees, two days before the party, so that they could check that all waivers were completed.The day of the party, we were assigned one of the staff to oversee our party, so at the very beginning of the party, he rallied the kids to talk rules and safety. He was great with the kids and checked on us several times…even when we needed some ice for a fall. When it came to leaving, it was all organized and ready for me to pay!

4.  Clean and Stress-free Party Room: We had the large party room and it was really massive and had painted picnic benches for the kids to sit and eat their pizza. They had several tables where we put our snacks and drinks and the fridge was great to keep things cold. Not only was it spacious and secluded, but for a kid who LOVES purple, it also required no decorating!

5. Reasonable Cost: Parties are expensive! I found Joyride 150 reasonable at the cost of $20 per child ($30 with rentals) and that includes 3 hours at the park! That’s great value. No food is included so you must order your own pizza and you are also allowed to bring in any food you like (it bugs me when other party places make you buy their overpriced food!). The large party room also has a fridge to keep drinks, veggies, fruit and cake cold while the kids play!
