An All-Inclusive Kids Birthday Party Venue in Orange County
Once Upon an Island is an immersive children’s birthday party venue on Balboa Island in Newport Beach. We do not rent rooms. We host the entire celebration, from the characters to the food to the cleanup, so you get to be at your daughter’s birthday instead of running it.
One price, zero jobs for you
Everything a birthday needs, already handled.
Most birthday venues in Orange County rent you a room. We host the entire celebration: the private venue, the professional characters, the transformations, the food, the activities, the crowning, the setup and the cleanup. You arrive, and you watch.
No shared rooms and no other parties running alongside hers. The doors close and the world belongs to your guests.
Trained performers in professionally maintained costumes and styled wigs run the party from the first greeting to the last candle.
Most packages include dress-up and a salon experience, so every child is part of the story rather than watching it.
Tea party or lunch service is included and served for you, depending on the package you choose.
Somewhere to actually sit down while our team runs the party you are paying for.
You do not decorate, you do not serve and you do not stay behind to clean. That is the point.
Ten packages, five worlds
Choose the world she already loves.
Mermaids, princesses, a co-ed crew of pirates and Lost Boys, or a grown-up spa or pop star celebration for an older girl. Every package is all-inclusive, so you are choosing the characters and the style of play, not whether the hosting is included.
Real Neverland Mermaids and a hand-built underwater lagoon. From $900.
A tea shellebration hosted by mermaids and your favourite princess. From $1,100.
Four Royal Princess Hosts for one birthday girl. From $1,250.
Our co-ed celebration for boys and girls together. From $900.
Robes, glitter masks and pampering for older girls. From $1,750.
Stage lights, microphones and her name on the marquee. From $1,750.
