Local isn’t always best! Check out Sydney’s best birthday party venues worth travelling for. These aren’t just your regular, run-of-the-mill birthday parties- these are experiences to create memories and impress your child’s friends while you’re at it.

1. Mowbray Farm

Mowbray Park Farm Stay is a unique family farm-life experience based in Picton, a mere 90-minute drive from Sydney. A birthday party here is a great experience for both children and adults, where kids will ride horses, visit the farmyard nursery, feed animals, ride a tractor, milk cows, and enjoy a delicious farm-style BBQ in some seriously gorgeous surrounds. Fresh air and hands-on farm experiences set in a lush green backdrop- this is one birthday party that will be talked about long after it’s over.

2. Wannabees

Wannabees birthday parties have everything a child could need- based in two great Sydney locations (Hornsby & Frenchs Forest), it’s the only party venue of its kind in Australia! Wannabees Family Play Town is a miniature city covering 1100 square metres. There are 20 fully functioning buildings for children’s imaginations to come alive in, including a police, TV, radio and fire station, hospital, post office, beauty salon and more. Helpful staff take all the burden into their hands, and packages really do give you it all: invitations, food & drink, party hosts, and cake.
