Pay-What-You-Can Parties 🎉
Making Birthdays Magical for Every Child
At Pop Up Arcade, we believe every child deserves to feel special on their birthday. That’s why we offer one Pay-What-You-Can (PWYC) party each day because fun and joy should be accessible to all.
How It Works
If you can afford one of our standard party packages, please book that! These parties are fantastic. We’ve hosted thousands of them, and we know kids will have a great time, parents will have a great time, they’re well worth the money and help us provide more Pay-What-You-Can party slots.
If that’s not an option for you right now, book one of our Pay-What-You-Can party slots. It’s exactly the same as our standard parties, same games, same fun, same incredible experience. Pay whatever you can, no questions asked. Every child deserves a great birthday party, and we’re here to make that happen
To Get Involved
🎉 Book a Party: Whether you choose a full-price party or a PWYC party, you’re helping create unforgettable memories.
📣 Spread the Word: The more families who know about this, the more kids get to celebrate.
💛 Be Part of Something: Every full-price booking helps make another child’s party possible, creating a ripple effect of kindness and joy.
Why We Do It
Birthdays are about more than just cake and presents, they’re about belonging, joy, and lasting memories. When one family lifts another up, we create a stronger, more connected community where every child feels special.
Let’s make every birthday count, together! 🎈🎮
