Customer Reviews
“Hosted my daughter’s birthday at Art Mystics and I’ve never had an experience like that before. The way Ritika has decorated the space, planned the entire flow of events and the games also aligned with the theme my daughter wanted, couldn’t have asked for more. She went over and above to give her the best birthday experience. Highly recommend hosting your birthday with Art Mystics!” – Mariyam
“Thank you so much Art Mystics for this incredible galaxy themed birthday party. Can’t even express the level of detailing and the thoughtfulness in choosing activities. Me and my fellow moms also who were there were totally engrossed in the activities. The moment all my daughters’ friends stepped in they went gaga. It was a new experience for everyone. Thank u Ritika for the cherry on top of it, with the beautiful custom gift you made for Dhea. Parents, if you’re wanting to do something that your kids will remember for a lifetime, it’s this! Book your child’s birthday with art mystics.” -Bhakti.
2. Jungle Fiesta Party Hall
| RATING | |
| AMENITIES | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| VENUE | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
| ⮕ SPACE | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| ⮕ CLEANLINESS | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| CUSTOMER SERVICE | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| ⮕ EXPERTISE | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| ⮕ COMMUNICATION | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| ACCESSIBILITY | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
When it comes to kid’s occasions, guests can make use of the party hall for around 1.5 to 2 hours. In that time, they can enjoy a whole host of activities that the venue has prepared for them, including some time at Jungle Fiesta’s play area.
We think it’s a good bonus that the event hall is fully-air conditioned and guests can avail of free Wi-Fi access in order to help with the event. The play area, being outdoors, can be a little hot in the summers though so guests may want to keep that in mind.
They offer three packages named the Amazon, Roots, and Branches package; all differing in the amount of amenities and services they offer. Unfortunately, some events like face painting and a custom birthday cake do carry an additional charge.
In our opinion, it’s not too big of a loss and kids and guests should still be able to have a lot of fun with the activities included in their package. So if you want to celebrate with a nature-oriented theme, we think Jungle Fiesta is definitely a good option.
Pros
- Free Wi-Fi access for the event
- Comprehensive package offers a lot of activities for kids
Cons
- Kids outdoor play area can be a little hot in the summers
- Some events like face painting and a custom cake is an additional charge

3. Splash N Bounce Events
| RATING | |
| AMENITIES | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| VENUE | ★★★☆☆ (3.5/5) |
| ⮕ SPACE | ★★★☆☆ (3.5/5) |
| ⮕ CLEANLINESS | ★★★☆☆ (3.5/5) |
| CUSTOMER SERVICE | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |

Established back in 2008, Splash N Bounce offers turn-key solutions when it comes to events management. They are able to help organise different gatherings like product launches, market day, proms, and of course, birthdays.
As an event organiser, they primarily help you put on the event that you are dreaming of by providing products and services such as themed decorations, pool rentals, and even some inflatables for kids’ parties.
This does mean that the success of your party falls on you in some aspects. We think their services are definitely better suited for organisers looking to get involved in the planning of the event, as they will be in charge of estimating the amount of expected guests and other logistical considerations.
We also found that it took us a while to actually get a reply from the staff over on the phone. Once we do, however, we think they are able to answer all our queries well, while also going over the necessary details regarding decor and supply rental with us.
They are very professional and we think the amenities they provide have been all well-received by guests. For more hands-on folk looking to organise a party, we definitely recommend giving Splash N Bounce a try.
Pros
- Versatile event planning service
- Professional managers well-versed in making the event a success
Cons
- Success does depend on the area you are able to secure (i.e. your own house or yard)
- Took a while to reach them by the phone

4. The Happy Studio LLC
| RATING | |
| AMENITIES | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| VENUE | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| ⮕ SPACE | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| ⮕ CLEANLINESS | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| CUSTOMER SERVICE | ★★★★★ (5/5) |

If you are thinking of throwing an art-filled birthday party for kids specifically, then you might enjoy a trip to the Happy Studio LLC. It is a good spot to visit if you wish to put on an event that will delight children with all the creative activities they wish to indulge in.
Being quite well-known for their “Happy Box” activities, we think kids and parents will enjoy the array of different themes they have on offer. This essentially gives children a box with a bunch of arts, crafts and other cools stuff which they can play and interact with.
One of their popular packages is their basic ‘Birthday Fix’, which covers a 2-hour long party from Sunday to Wednesday. Kids will enjoy an array of different arts and crafts, balloons, games, and food.
Food is also a consideration. In our opinion, parents who want to consider any allergies or preferences will be delighted to know that the studio does allow bringing in your own food to supply your guests.
Really, the few negatives we do see is that they are closed on Fridays which is a little unfortunate if someone’s birthday falls around that time. The venue is also quite accessible but parking is a little on the small side; at least the ones in the immediate vicinity.
They are rather tailored to a younger audience yes, but we think the studio itself is pretty good in what it specialises at.
Pros
- Creative themes and activities
- Option to bring your own food
Cons
- Closed on Fridays
- Parking is a little limited

5. Bounce
| RATING | |
| AMENITIES | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| VENUE | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| ⮕ SPACE | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| ⮕ CLEANLINESS | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
| CUSTOMER SERVICE | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
| ⮕ EXPERTISE | ★★★★★ (5/5) |

| ACCESSIBILITY | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
Talk about a lot of activities and play areas! Bounce combines a lot of activities and adventure challenges in their well-known Freestyle Playgrounds, which include trampolines, airbags, and more!
It is definitely an activity centre for older kids. Possibly for safety reasons, we found very few kids that are below a certain height and age threshold in the venue.
The place itself is quite huge, offering plenty of indoor space to accommodate their activities and play areas. Still, we think the place does feel crowded at times and it’s not rare to book a birthday event in the venue only to encounter multiple parties occurring one after the other.
Fortunately, we found the staff to be up to the task of managing the whole affair. In our opinion, they do a good job with tracking the time taken up by each party, expertly handling the transition between one event to another.
We think two hours may sometimes feel a bit too short for more energetic guests but it is understandable given the volume of business.
For parents who are tired, the Al Quoz branch does offer a cafe where they can relax while the kids play. However, we think that the price of some snack items are on the expensive side when compared to buying them somewhere else.
Still, if you wish to hold an adventure-filled birthday party, we think Bounce is definitely a great place to check out.
Pros
- Unique party experience and activities
- Better ticket deals found online
- Staff manages time well
Cons
- Place can be overcrowded
- Place is geared more for teenagers and adults
- Prices of snacks on the place are on the expensive side
