Birthday Parties
Make your birthday unforgettable with either a YMCA Gymnasium or Pool Birthday Party. With a gymnasium birthday party, participants will enjoy an open gym filled with exciting children’s play equipment or dive into thrilling gym sports like floor hockey or basketball. For an extra splash of fun, you can add a bouncy castle, inflatable racquetball court, or indoor rock climbing wall for an additional fee! Gymnasium birthday parties are two hours of fun, starting with one hour in half the gymnasium, followed by an hour of celebration in our multi-purpose room.
Dive into excitement with a YMCA Pool Birthday Party! This two-hour event includes the first hour of splashing around in the play pool and half of the main pool, then continue the festivities with the second hour in the multi-purpose room.
