Short answer: this guide compares parks you can reserve, local party venues and an at-home option across Treasure Coast / Port St. Lucie / Stuart, with posted prices and sources. For an at-home Nerf battle, Birthday Battle Box ships a complete party box for 8 players $199 or 12 players $259, free UPS shipping both ways. It arrives the Thursday before your party.
A Treasure Coast birthday usually starts with the same few questions: which county's park rules apply, how many kids can fit, and what happens when a Florida thunderstorm rolls in at 3 p.m. Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties each run their own parks and write their own pavilion rules, Port St. Lucie's city parks follow a fourth set, and the venues range from national chains to local studios and gyms you won't find on the big lists. The good news is that the Treasure Coast has an affordable party for almost every family and group size, and most are a short drive from home. This guide starts with your headcount and works outward.
What does a kids' birthday party cost on the Treasure Coast? Public pavilions start at $20.28 plus tax for three hours in Port St. Lucie. Hosted venue parties run about $100 to $500, from Chuck E. Cheese in Stuart at $99.99 for six kids to Urban Air at $499.99 for ten. Tax, fees and food are usually extra.
Last updated October 26, 2026.
Covers Indian River County (Vero Beach, Sebastian), St. Lucie County (Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie) and Martin County (Stuart, Jensen Beach, Palm City).
Quick Picks
On the Treasure Coast the guest list tends to decide the venue, because so many places price "up to" a number of kids. Start with your headcount, then check the park rules and the weather.
- Five or six kids: Chuck E. Cheese in Stuart is $99.99 for the birthday child plus five kids (no pizza or party host at that price). Urban Air's Small Squad is $199.99 for five guests.
- Eight to twelve kids who like to run around: Maximum Velocity Gymnastics in Vero Beach ($275 for up to 12 children), Skate Factory of Vero ($149.99 for the birthday child plus 10 guests) or a shipped Nerf party kit from Birthday Battle Box, our own product ($199 for 8 players, $259 for 12).
- Ten kids and everything included: Sky Zone ($350 or $440 for 10 jumpers), Urban Air's Unlimited Play ($399.99 for 10) or Safari Golf & Games ($350 for the first 10 kids).
- Twelve kids who'd rather make something: Stuart Ceramics ($240 for up to 12 guests, one ceramic piece each) or Two Sisters House of Ceramics in Port St. Lucie ($50 event fee plus a $225 minimum purchase for up to 12 painters).
- Sixteen kids: Simply Play in Vero Beach ($375 for up to 16 kids, with pizza and juice).
- A whole class or a crowd of 20 or more: reserve a pavilion, from $20.28 plus tax at a Port St. Lucie city park to $75 plus tax for the 60 by 40 ft Palm Island Pavilion at Savannas, then bring the food and the games.
- Toddlers and preschoolers: the Children's Museum of the Treasure Coast in Jensen Beach ($265 to $365 for 90 minutes to 3 hours) or the playground at Pioneer Park in Port St. Lucie (separate 2-to-5 and 5-to-12 play areas, open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; the page lists no fee).
- A hot afternoon: the water play area at Pioneer Park (open 9 a.m. to dusk, per the city page) or Ravenswood Pool ($2.75 per person for open swim, splash pad included).
- You'd like someone else to run it at your house: a mobile crew, such as Extreme Mobile Gaming laser tag ($369 weekdays, $398 Friday to Sunday) or Crazy Games FL (hosted Nerf Wars, from $499).
Three counties, three rule books: pavilions, fees and what each agency says about blasters
Outdoor parties are the natural default from about November through April. A pavilion is the cheapest "venue" on the coast, but each agency sets its own rules about vendors, balloons, inflatables and weather, and none of the pages we opened says whether toy foam-dart blasters are allowed. This section lists the posted fees first, then what each agency's own wording says.
Start with the backyard
A backyard party is the cheapest option and the one where you control the rules. Most Treasure Coast lots have enough lawn for capture the flag, a sprinkler or a pinata, and nothing has to be booked except a date. The trade-offs are summer heat, afternoon thunderstorms, mosquitoes near the Indian River Lagoon, and neighborhood rules: if you live in an HOA, check what it says about events, tents and inflatables before you plan. We don't list a dollar cost for a backyard party because it depends on food and add-ons. A garage or lanai gives you a rain plan.
Posted pavilion fees by agency
Posted pavilion fees on the Treasure Coast run from $20.28 before tax for a City of Port St. Lucie group pavilion (3-hour minimum) to $275 plus tax for a full-day Martin County pavilion. Every fee below was read October 26, 2026, except the City of Vero Beach row, which was carried over.
| Park system | What it is | Published fee | Notes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| City of Port St. Lucie | Group and family pavilions at city parks | Group pavilion $20.28 before tax ($21.70 with tax) for a 3-hour minimum; family pavilion $11.36 ($12.16 with tax); $10.42 per added hour; non-profit and travel-ball group pavilion $15.21 | Reserve online or in person at the PSL Community Center, not by phone. Neighborhood parks book up to 180 days ahead, community parks up to 90. Unmanned-park capacity limits range from 40 to 250 people (for example Rotary Park 175, Turtle Run Park 250, Kiwanis Park 50) | City of Port St. Lucie reservations |
| St. Lucie County | Pavilions at Frederick Douglass Memorial Park, Museum Pointe Park, Paradise Park, Pepper Park, River Park Marina and White City Park | Small pavilion (2 to 3 tables): $26 for 4 hours or $51 for 8 hours plus tax and a $25 deposit ($52.82 or $79.57 total). Large pavilion (5 to 7 tables): $51 for 4 hours or $101 for 8 hours plus tax and a $50 deposit ($104.57 or $158.07 total) | No power at the pavilions. Insurance is required: $50 minimum plus a per-person fee, so call 772-462-2110 for the exact amount, then email the permit forms | St. Lucie County pavilions |
| Savannas Recreation Area (St. Lucie County) | Palm Island Pavilion, 60 by 40 ft, concrete floor, picnic tables, restrooms, kitchenette | $75 plus tax for 8 hours; $100 plus tax for 12 to 14 hours; kitchenette add-on $50 | Reserve at 772-464-7855 | Savannas Recreation Area |
| Martin County | Sandsprit Park and other county park pavilions | $99 to $275 plus tax for a full day, depending on the pavilion | Permits run 9 AM to 6 PM; full payment at booking; call 772-221-1418. The permit holder may be required to post a security or damage deposit | Martin County pavilions, Pavilion rules (updated 09/2025) |
| Indian River County | County parks including Donald MacDonald Park | $65 daily pavilion rental, listed on the county's Donald MacDonald Park page | Fees for Dale Wimbrow Park and Kiwanis Hobart Park weren't on the pages we read; confirm with the Parks Division at 772-226-1875 | Indian River County park page |
| City of Sebastian | Riverview Park pavilion | $200 plus tax, $100 deposit, permit application | Read October 26, 2026 | City of Sebastian |
| City of Vero Beach | Riverside Park pavilions | Electricity is $25 for the day, with a $50 deposit; the rental fee itself is on the city's Forms, Fees and Rules page (not reopened) | Carried over; confirm with the city | City of Vero Beach |
Port St. Lucie is the cheapest by a wide margin, but its pavilions book by reservation and the city doesn't take them by phone. If a holiday weekend is your date, Port St. Lucie adds 50% to pavilion reservations on Martin Luther King Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and Veterans Day.
What each agency says about blasters, balloons and inflatables
None of the agency pages we opened says whether toy foam-dart blasters are allowed. That isn't the same as "allowed," so ask when you book and get the answer in writing. What the pages do say:
- City of Port St. Lucie: bounce houses, pony rides and other entertainment must be identified when you reserve, and the company hired must be on the city's list of pre-qualified vendors. The page also says "Water activities or amusement rides are prohibited, except for water balloons" and "Personally owned, non-commercial items, and domestic petting zoos are prohibited." We can't tell from the page whether a rented party game counts as an entertainment item, so ask Guest Services at 772-878-2277 before you plan a Nerf party at a city pavilion. Weather: the city only refunds or reschedules for staff-confirmed rainouts, lightning or winds of 25 mph or more, and you must call within five days (source).
- Martin County: the rules (updated 09/2025) prohibit individual use of bounce houses or amusement apparatuses without approval from the Parks and Recreation Director, require any vendor you hire to be on the County's Approved Vendor List, ban balloons of any kind at county parks, and say refunds aren't given for poor weather unless the County closes the park for a tropical storm or hurricane warning. Toy blasters aren't mentioned (source).
- St. Lucie County: the pavilion page requires insurance and says the pavilions have no power. It doesn't mention inflatables or toy blasters (source).
- Indian River County and Sebastian: the pages we opened list fees and rules on pets, alcohol and fires but don't mention toy blasters.
- If you do reserve a pavilion: ask the agency whether a foam-dart game is fine, and keep the reply. A backyard or private venue avoids the question.
A roof overhead: trampolines, skating, gym, mini golf and arcades
Indoor venues are the best hedge against a Florida summer storm, and on the Treasure Coast they cluster in Port St. Lucie (trampolines, bowling, arcades) and Vero Beach (gym, rink, mini golf). They cost more than a pavilion, and most cap the group near 10 before extra-guest fees. Here are the options with posted prices.
Trampoline parks and skating
| Venue | City | What it is | Published party price | Group size | Duration | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Urban Air Adventure Park | Port St. Lucie | Trampolines, ninja course, go-karts | Small Squad $199.99 (5 guests); Unlimited Play $399.99 (10 guests); Unlimited Play + Go-Karts $499.99 (10 guests). Paid in full at booking, plus booking fee and tax. The page advertises code SAVE100 for $100 off Unlimited Play and Unlimited Play+ packages (read October 26, 2026) | 5 to 10 | 2-hour party | Urban Air |
| Sky Zone (440 NW Peacock Blvd) | Port St. Lucie | Trampoline park | EPIC $350 (60-minute jump) or MEGA $440 (120-minute jump) for 10 jumpers; extra jumpers $35 or $44; $150 deposit; the page lists weekday 25% off with code BDAY25 for 10 or more jumpers (read October 26, 2026) | 10 jumpers | 60 or 120 minutes of jump time | Sky Zone |
| Skate Factory of Vero (485 27th Ave SW) | Vero Beach | Roller rink; phone 772-794-3373 | $149.99 for the birthday child and up to 10 guests (admission, skate rental, cheese pizza, unlimited soda) in a listed afternoon slot; extra guests $11.50. The page also carries an old note about unavailable dates in 2025, so confirm the current package and time slots (read October 26, 2026) | Up to 11 skaters | Confirm with the venue | Skate Factory |
| Elev8 Fun | Jensen Beach | Bowling, arcade, laser tag, go-karts, mini golf (in the mall) | About $15 to $79 per person with a 10-person minimum (third-party, carried over; confirm with the venue) | 10 or more | Confirm with the venue | Treasure Coast Mom |
Our take: for active kids, Urban Air's Unlimited Play ($399.99 for 10) and Sky Zone's MEGA ($440 for 10) are the standard "everything included" parties. Skate Factory is the budget surprise at $149.99, as long as the current time slot works for you.
Bowling and arcade
| Venue | City | What it is | Published party price | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bowlero / Superplay (1600 NW Courtyard Cir) | Port St. Lucie | Blacklight bowling and arcade | Confirm with the venue; carried over from a local-parent listing, not reopened | Treasure Coast Mom |
| Dave & Buster's (2270 SW Gatlin Blvd) | Port St. Lucie | Arcade and restaurant | Confirm with the venue; carried over from the same listing | Treasure Coast Mom |
That Treasure Coast Mom page is an older parent listing (its URL ends in "-old"), so confirm that each venue still hosts parties and what it charges.
Gymnastics and mini golf
| Venue | City | What it is | Published party price | Group size | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum Velocity Gymnastics (3900 US-1) | Vero Beach | Gym party with open gym time and supplies; phone 772-539-7400 | $275 for up to 12 children; $15 for each additional guest up to 30; 30 extra minutes $75 (read October 26, 2026) | 12 to 30 | Maximum Velocity |
| Safari Golf & Games (also called Safari Mini Golf & Games) | Vero Beach | Two mini golf courses and a game room; phone 772-562-6492 | $350 for the first 10 kids, $20 per additional child; 4 adults play free, $5 per additional adult; $50 non-refundable deposit; book at least 2 weeks ahead. Includes a private party room (2 hours), 36 holes of mini golf, a keepsake ball, 20 game room credits per guest, ice cream and supplies (read October 26, 2026) | 10 or more | Safari party packages |
A gym party is weather-proof and good for energetic kids who like climbing, tumbling and obstacle courses. Many gym parties are aimed at little kids, so confirm suitability with the venue.
For the littlest guests: the Children's Museum, play cafes and a hosted pizza table
For little kids, a room with a table, a short list of "up to" kids and an adult-sized chair beats a big venue. These are the Treasure Coast's best fits.
| Venue | City | What it is | Published party price | Group size | Duration | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Children's Museum of the Treasure Coast (1707 NE Indian River Dr.) | Jensen Beach | Hands-on museum with party rooms; after-hours rental | $265 member / $315 non-member (90 minutes); $315 / $365 (3 hours); extra children $11; after-hours party $465 / $515 (call 772-225-7575 ext. 208) (read October 26, 2026) | 15 kids plus 25 adults (40 max); after-hours 20 kids, 70 total | 90 minutes to 3 hours | Children's Museum |
| Chuck E. Cheese (2400 NW Federal Hwy) | Stuart | Arcade, show and party table; phone 772-692-9717 | $99.99 for the birthday child plus 5 kids (Fun package; pizza and party host not included). Mega and Ultimate (pizza and a party host) are priced per child, and we didn't capture those amounts, so check the page. $50 non-refundable deposit; $5 online booking fee (read October 26, 2026) | 6 kids | 2 hours | Chuck E. Cheese Stuart |
| Simply Play (1275 Old Dixie Hwy) | Vero Beach | Indoor play space; phone 772-492-8818 | $375 for up to 16 kids (pizza, juice, 2 hours); $550 with decor (read October 26, 2026) | 16 | 2 hours | Simply Play |
| Wonderstruck Play and Learn (3503 NW Federal Hwy) | Jensen Beach | Private play parties | About $329 to $479 for up to 12 kids or $679 for up to 20 (third-party, carried over; confirm with the venue) | 12 to 20 | Confirm with the venue | Treasure Coast Mom |
| Cannon's Cove | Location not confirmed | Private play party: private play, pizza, juice and unlimited play for up to 8 kids; extra kids $32 (base price not captured) | Confirm with the venue; carried over | 8 or more | Confirm with the venue | Cannon's Cove |
| Coastal Dreams (8176 SW Jack James Dr.) | Stuart | Kids' gym: tumbling, bounce house, obstacle courses | Confirm with the venue | Confirm with the venue | Confirm with the venue | Listed at Treasure Coast Mom |
| Teeny Town Play Cafe (529 NW Prima Vista Blvd) | Port St. Lucie | Play cafe | Confirm with the venue | Confirm with the venue | Confirm with the venue | Listed at Treasure Coast Mom |
| RM Little Town & Boba Cafe (924 SE Central Pkwy) | Stuart | Kids' play cafe | Confirm with the venue | Confirm with the venue | Confirm with the venue | Listed at Treasure Coast Mom |
Our take: the Children's Museum is the best fit for under-8s; Chuck E. Cheese is the lowest posted price for a hosted party with a show; Simply Play is the best value for a group of 16.
Water, shade and a little nature: Pioneer Park, Ravenswood and Savannas
A summer party outdoors needs shade and a splash plan, and public parks often ban water activities at rented pavilions, so pick the place that has water built in. Read October 26, 2026, from the agencies' own pages:
- Pioneer Park (Port St. Lucie). A 9.75-acre riverfront park at 2454 SE Westmoreland Blvd. The city's page lists a 5-to-12 play area with a pendulum swing, a 2-to-5 area with a river boat, a 2-to-12 water play area (elevated water channel, wading stream and sprays), sand play and a climbing dome. The playground is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and the splash pad, called Banyan Basin, 9 a.m. to dusk. The page lists no fee. Its Event Lawn is "no public reservations," so plan a drop-in outing, not a reserved party.
- Ravenswood Pool (Port St. Lucie). County-run pool with an interactive splash pad that is included with open swim. Open swim is $2.75 per person, free for toddlers, $1.50 for seniors. The page lists open swim Friday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday noon to 5 p.m., and a maintenance closure for the splash pad from July 20 to August 20, 2026, so check the page before you plan a summer date.
- Savannas Recreation Area (Fort Pierce). A county preserve with a covered Palm Island Pavilion (60 by 40 ft, restrooms, kitchenette), canoe and kayak rentals, trails and a playground. The pavilion is $75 plus tax for 8 hours; canoe and kayak rates weren't captured, so confirm with the park.
- Splash fountains (third-party). A local-parent guide lists free fountains at Tradition Square and the MIDFLORIDA Event Center in Port St. Lucie; check hours with the venue (Macaroni KID guide).
- Water at home: the City of Port St. Lucie page prohibits "water activities or amusement rides, except for water balloons" at city parks, and Martin County bans balloons of any kind, so a sprinkler party belongs in the backyard.
Zoos, minor-league ballparks and aquariums weren't researched for the Treasure Coast. Local farm and petting-zoo parties may exist, but we didn't price them. Both Martin County and the City of Port St. Lucie prohibit petting zoos at their parks.
Make something: pottery studios, dance, spa and clay
A craft party is a calm, rainproof option for kids who'd rather make than run, and the Treasure Coast has several paint-your-own-pottery studios with posted prices. Read October 26, 2026, unless tagged.
| Studio | City | What it is | Published party price | Group size and length | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stuart Ceramics (15 SE M.L.K. Jr Blvd) | Stuart | Paint-your-own-ceramics studio; phone 772-287-7000 | $240, includes a ceramic party piece of choice | Up to 12 guests (14 fit); 1.5 hours; larger groups can reserve the main room or tiki patio at the same cost | Stuart Ceramics |
| Two Sisters House of Ceramics (1680 SW Saint Lucie West Blvd #103) | Port St. Lucie | Paint-your-own pottery; phone 772-323-0578 | $50 non-refundable event fee plus a $225 minimum purchase of pottery; paints, glazing and kiln firing included; pieces ready in 7 to 10 days | Up to 12 painters; 2 hours | Two Sisters Ceramics |
| Treasure Coast Pottery | Port St. Lucie | Clay parties with guided instruction; phone 772-202-0897 | $85 per person for hand-building, $95 per person for pottery wheel; pieces glazed and fired afterward | 6 guests minimum | Treasure Coast Pottery |
| Painted Frog (1906 14th Ave) | Vero Beach | Paint-your-own pottery; phone 772-999-3763 | Parties from $100 studio fee (private room, a staff member, one cheese pizza per 5 guests and a drink); pottery pieces are not included (third-party directory listing; confirm with the venue) | 8 to 20 painters; 2 hours | Macaroni KID listing |
| Girls in Majesty Spa (1282 SW California Blvd) | Port St. Lucie | Spa party | Confirm with the venue | Confirm with the venue | Listed at Treasure Coast Mom |
| St. Lucie Dance Theatre (751 NW Enterprise Dr.) | Port St. Lucie | Dance party | Confirm with the venue | Confirm with the venue | Listed at Treasure Coast Mom |
| Tutu School (St. Lucie West) | Port St. Lucie | Dance and craft party | Confirm with the venue | Confirm with the venue | Tutu School |
Pottery parties are simple to compare: Stuart Ceramics and Two Sisters both cap at 12 painters, and the Treasure Coast Pottery clay party is the premium choice for kids who want to build a bowl or a birdhouse. A few easy do-it-yourself ideas also work at a backyard or pavilion:
- Backyard movie night. A sheet, a projector and blankets work in the cooler months. Check HOA noise rules.
- Craft table at home. Buy supplies at a craft store and give each child a small canvas or a piece to decorate. Costs depend entirely on supplies, so we give no price.
- Beach or river picnic. County and city pavilions are cheap, but read the park's rules on balloons (Martin County bans them at county parks), inflatables and amplified sound before you plan decorations. Martin County also bans nails, tape, tacks and staples on posts and furniture.
- Mixed-group party. Split the day: a short active game for active kids and a craft table for little kids.
For a large celebration, 500 Orange Event Venue in Fort Pierce lists a range of $1,500 to $2,950 (carried over; event rental, not a kids' package, up to 250 guests), and the Havert L. Fenn Center is quote-only by phone at 772-462-1521 (carried over; Eventective listing).
Hosted Nerf parties and game trucks: who actually comes to the Treasure Coast
If you want someone else to run an active-game party, the Treasure Coast has a short list. We found one hosted Nerf company whose site lists Martin County, one statewide company with no published price, and a local laser tag truck. We didn't find a company that ships a kit to your door other than the one in the next section. Phone numbers are from each company's own site, and we print no email addresses. For all of them, ask about weather, travel fees and what happens if a dart goes missing.

GameTruck is a national franchise, and we didn't find a location in this market. We also didn't find Instagram or Facebook pages for these companies.
What the gap means for parents
Most hosted providers publish a starting price and little else. For the Treasure Coast we found no competitor page that states a lost-dart policy, a rain policy or the space a game needs. If you're comparing, ask any provider four things: what happens to lost darts, what the rain or reschedule policy is, how much space the game needs, and how long setup takes. A quick note on the Crazy Games FL numbers: the website says $499 and the person we spoke with by phone on October 26, 2026 said a starting rate of $450, so ask which one applies on your date, and ask for the travel fee in writing.
Our pick for active kids: Birthday Battle Box (a shipped Nerf party kit)
Birthday Battle Box is our own product, so weigh this section the way you'd weigh any maker describing its own work. It's one option among many on this page, and it fits a specific kind of party: a backyard, a garage or a pavilion where a parent is happy to run the games.
| Kit | Players | Price | Rental | Shipping | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Birthday Battle Box | 8 | $199 | 7 days | Free both ways | Fact sheet |
| Birthday Battle Box | 12 | $259 | 7 days | Free both ways | Fact sheet |
- What it is: a rented Nerf party in a box, shipped by UPS from Richmond, VA to your door. It has no Florida location, no pickup spot and no on-site staff. Ships free both ways from Richmond, VA. Your box arrives by the Thursday before your party. Return it to UPS by the following Thursday with the prepaid label inside. Enter your ZIP and party date to see the earliest available weekend.
- Inside (fact sheet): one Nerf Strongarm blaster per player plus two backup Strongarms, 1,000 foam darts, safety glasses for every player, team pinnies, a laminated game guide and 7 game cards, take-home favors, camo netting and a reusable box (18 x 14 x 14 in, 30 lb) with a prepaid UPS return label. Setup takes minutes: no batteries and no assembly.
- No host, no staff. A parent runs the games from the guide. It's a do-it-yourself kit, not a staffed event.
- Play space and party length: the fact sheet doesn't list them yet; check the fact sheet, then confirm with bookings@birthdaybattlebox.com before you order.
- Dates: the site's how-it-works page describes parties on Friday, Saturday or Sunday and a drop at UPS the following Thursday (how it works).
- Policies (rental terms): lost darts are free; a destroyed blaster is $35; cancel 14 or more days ahead for a full refund; Move your party date for free if rain changes your plans, even after the box arrives. Email bookings@birthdaybattlebox.com to arrange the new date and return instructions.
- Who it's not for: families who want someone else to run the party, set up and clean up. For that, use a hosted option above.
On the Treasure Coast it pairs well with a $20.28 Port St. Lucie group pavilion or a backyard, once you've asked the agency about foam-dart play. See the kits at birthdaybattlebox.com.
What it all costs: every posted price, side by side

The 12-kid math, cheapest per child first
Per-child figures are our arithmetic from the linked posted prices. The group sizes differ by row, because each venue prices for a different number, and the figures leave out food, tax, booking fees and a pavilion. Hosted venue prices include a host that the kit doesn't.

Two caveats. A pavilion adds $20 to $275 plus tax on top of anything you bring, and pizza, cake and a referee are yours to supply; a venue party includes a host and cleanup. The cheapest line isn't automatically the best fit, so put the whole list side by side before you decide.
Three sample budgets for 12 kids
Each line uses only the posted prices above, before tax, food and any booking fees.
- Pavilion and a plan you run yourself: $20.28 for a Port St. Lucie group pavilion plus your own food and games. Add a shipped Nerf party kit at $259 and the two lines total $279.28 before tax.
- A hosted party where you just show up: Skate Factory of Vero at $149.99 plus $11.50 for the twelfth skater, or Maximum Velocity at $275 for up to 12.
- Everything included for ten: Sky Zone MEGA at $440 or Urban Air Unlimited Play at $399.99; extra jumpers at Sky Zone are $35 or $44 each.
Picking a date: storms, snowbirds and three school calendars
- Best months for outdoor parties: roughly November through April, when humidity and afternoon storms are lowest (general climate guidance, not from a venue page). October can still be hot.
- Summer (June to August): afternoon thunderstorms are common (general guidance). Book morning parties, keep an indoor backup and keep kids hydrated.
- Hurricane season (June 1 to November 30): book a covered or indoor backup and ask any venue or provider about weather cancellation. Public parks differ: Martin County says refunds are not approved for poor weather unless the County closes the park for a tropical storm or hurricane warning, and Port St. Lucie reschedules only for staff-confirmed weather such as lightning or winds of 25 mph or more (Martin County rules, City of Port St. Lucie). If you're renting a Birthday Battle Box kit, Move your party date for free if rain changes your plans, even after the box arrives. Email bookings@birthdaybattlebox.com to arrange the new date and return instructions (rental terms).
- Winter and spring: peak season for visitors and snowbirds; popular weekends at indoor venues and pavilions fill up first.
- Holiday weekends in Port St. Lucie: pavilion reservations get a 50% surcharge on Martin Luther King Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and Veterans Day.
2026-27 school breaks (these make party weekends busier)
- Indian River County: Thanksgiving break November 23 to 27, 2026. Winter break December 21 to 31, 2026, plus January 1; no school for students January 4 and 5; students return January 6, 2027. Spring break March 22 to 26, 2027 per FloridaSchools.us (read October 26, 2026). One aggregator lists spring break as March 29 to April 2 instead, and we couldn't open the district's own PDF, so confirm spring break with the district at 772-564-3000.
- St. Lucie County Public Schools: winter break December 21, 2026 to January 4, 2027 (students return January 5); spring break March 22 to 26, 2027 (carried over from the district calendar; PDF).
- Martin County: winter break December 19 to January 4; spring break March 20 to 29 (carried over; district page).

Questions Treasure Coast parents ask
How much does a kids' birthday party cost on the Treasure Coast?
Posted prices run from about $20 plus tax for a Port St. Lucie group pavilion (3 hours) to $499.99 for Urban Air’s top package. Hosted parties for 5 to 10 kids cost about $100 to $500: Chuck E. Cheese in Stuart is $99.99 for 6 kids, Sky Zone is $350 to $440 for 10 jumpers, and a pottery party at Stuart Ceramics is $240 for up to 12 guests. Food, cake and tax are usually extra.
What is the cheapest way to host a kids' birthday party on the Treasure Coast?
A Port St. Lucie group pavilion is the lowest posted fee: $20.28 plus tax for a 3-hour minimum. Among hosted venues, Chuck E. Cheese in Stuart is $99.99 for the birthday child plus five kids (no pizza or party host at that price) and Skate Factory of Vero lists $149.99 for the birthday child plus 10 guests, with pizza and soda. A backyard has no venue fee at all. Add food, cake and an adult to run the games to any plan.
How much does it cost to rent a park pavilion on the Treasure Coast?
It depends on the agency. The City of Port St. Lucie charges $20.28 before tax for a group pavilion for 3 hours. St. Lucie County charges $26 to $101 plus tax and a deposit for 4 or 8 hours, and the Savannas Palm Island Pavilion is $75 plus tax for 8 hours. Martin County charges $99 to $275 plus tax for a full day. Indian River County lists $65 daily on its Donald MacDonald Park page, and Sebastian's Riverview Park pavilion is $200 plus tax.
Can we have a Nerf party at a Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie County or Martin County pavilion?
The agency pages we read don't say. Port St. Lucie requires entertainment uses to be identified at reservation and prohibits “personally owned, non-commercial items,” Martin County restricts bounce houses and vendors, and St. Lucie County’s pavilion page is silent. Call before you plan: Port St. Lucie at 772-878-2277, Martin County at 772-221-1418 and St. Lucie County at 772-462-2110. Ask for the answer in writing. A backyard avoids the question.
Can I bring a bounce house or hire an entertainer for a party at a Treasure Coast park?
It depends on the agency. Port St. Lucie says bounce houses, pony rides and other entertainment must be identified when you reserve and the company must be on its pre-qualified vendor list. Martin County prohibits individual use of bounce houses or amusement apparatuses without approval from the Parks and Recreation Director and requires hired vendors to be on its Approved Vendor List. St. Lucie County doesn't mention inflatables on its pavilion page, so call 772-462-2110.
Can I put up balloons at a Treasure Coast park?
It depends on the county. Martin County’s pavilion rules (updated 09/2025) ban balloons of any kind at county parks and ban nails, tape, tacks and staples on posts and furniture. Port St. Lucie says water activities are prohibited except for water balloons. The St. Lucie County, Indian River County and Sebastian pages we read don't address balloons, so ask when you book.
What happens to my pavilion reservation if a storm hits on party day?
Check the agency's rule before you book. Port St. Lucie refunds or reschedules only for staff-confirmed rainouts, lightning or winds of 25 mph or more, and you must call within five days. Martin County gives no refund for poor weather unless the County closes the park for a tropical storm or hurricane warning. St. Lucie County's pavilion page doesn't say, so call 772-462-2110. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, so keep a garage, lanai or indoor venue as a backup.
Which Treasure Coast birthday parties work for toddlers and preschoolers?
The Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast in Jensen Beach is $265 for members or $315 for non-members for 90 minutes, and $315 or $365 for 3 hours. Simply Play in Vero Beach is $375 for up to 16 kids with pizza and juice, and Chuck E. Cheese in Stuart is $99.99 for the birthday child plus five kids. For a free outing, the playground at Pioneer Park in Port St. Lucie has separate 2-to-5 and 5-to-12 play areas, though its Event Lawn can't be reserved.
Where can I hold a birthday party for 16 or more kids on the Treasure Coast?
Simply Play in Vero Beach prices $375 for up to 16 kids, and Maximum Velocity Gymnastics is $275 for up to 12 children plus $15 for each additional guest up to 30. For a bigger crowd, a pavilion is the usual answer: Port St. Lucie lists capacity limits from 40 to 250 people at unmanned parks (from $20.28 plus tax), and the Savannas Palm Island Pavilion is $75 plus tax for 8 hours.
Where can kids cool off for a summer birthday on the Treasure Coast?
Pioneer Park in Port St. Lucie has a water play area (Banyan Basin) open 9 a.m. to dusk, and its page lists no fee. Ravenswood Pool charges $2.75 per person for open swim, with the splash pad included, and the page lists a maintenance closure of the splash pad from July 20 to August 20, 2026, so check before you go. Public pavilions often ban water play, so a sprinkler party belongs in the backyard.
Where can kids paint pottery for a birthday party on the Treasure Coast?
Stuart Ceramics is $240 for up to 12 guests, including one ceramic piece each, for 1.5 hours. Two Sisters House of Ceramics in Port St. Lucie charges a $50 non-refundable event fee plus a $225 minimum purchase for up to 12 painters for 2 hours. Treasure Coast Pottery runs clay parties at $85 per person for hand-building or $95 for the wheel, with a minimum of 6 guests. Painted Frog in Vero Beach lists parties from $100 for the studio, with pottery pieces extra, on a third-party directory page; confirm with the venue.
What is the best rainy-day birthday party on the Treasure Coast?
An indoor venue. Sky Zone is $350 or $440 for 10 jumpers, Urban Air is $199.99 to $499.99 for 5 to 10 guests, Maximum Velocity Gymnastics is $275 for up to 12 children, Skate Factory of Vero is $149.99 for the birthday child plus 10 guests, and the Children’s Museum starts at $265 for members. Summer thunderstorms are common, so ask each venue about its own weather and rescheduling rules.
Which Treasure Coast birthday parties include food?
Skate Factory of Vero ($149.99) includes cheese pizza and unlimited soda. Simply Play ($375) includes pizza and juice. Safari Golf & Games ($350 for the first 10 kids) includes ice cream, and the page lists 20 game room credits per guest. Chuck E. Cheese in Stuart Fun package ($99.99) does not include pizza or a party host. Pavilion and studio parties generally mean you bring the food; Stuart Ceramics says food and drinks are welcome.
How far ahead should I book a Treasure Coast birthday venue?
Each place sets its own window. Port St. Lucie takes pavilion reservations up to 180 days ahead at neighborhood parks and 90 days at community parks. Chuck E. Cheese in Stuart parties book 24 hours to 60 days ahead. Safari Golf & Games asks for at least 2 weeks. Pottery studios and holiday weekends tend to fill first, so book early and confirm with the venue.
When are school breaks on the Treasure Coast in 2026-27?
Indian River County students are off December 21 to 31, 2026, plus January 1, 4 and 5, and return January 6, 2027; spring break is March 22 to 26, 2027 per FloridaSchools.us, though another aggregator lists March 29 to April 2, so confirm with the district at 772-564-3000. St. Lucie County has winter break December 21, 2026 to January 4, 2027 and spring break March 22 to 26 (district calendar). Martin County has winter break December 19 to January 4 and spring break March 20 to 29 (district page). Port St. Lucie also adds a 50% surcharge to pavilion reservations on holidays such as Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Can someone run a hosted Nerf party for us on the Treasure Coast?
A few companies will. Crazy Games FL (West Palm Beach) lists Martin County on its site, starts at $499 online and $450 by phone, and said by phone on October 26, 2026 that it delivers to Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce and Vero Beach; a travel fee beyond Martin County exists, but the amount isn't confirmed. Mobile Gaming Events claims statewide service but publishes no price (call 954-408-1881). Extreme Mobile Gaming in the Fort Pierce area runs laser tag at $369 on weekdays or $398 Friday to Sunday, not Nerf.
What is a Nerf party?
A Nerf party is a birthday party built around foam-dart blaster games such as capture the flag, team elimination and zombies. It can be hosted, with staff who run it, or do-it-yourself, where an adult runs the games from a laminated guide, as with Birthday Battle Box (games, fact sheet).
What does Birthday Battle Box cost, and what comes in the kit?
Birthday Battle Box is our own shipped Nerf party kit: $199 for 8 players or $259 for 12 for a 7-day rental, with free shipping both ways. Each kit has one Nerf Strongarm blaster per player plus two backup Strongarms, 1,000 foam darts, safety glasses for every player, team pinnies, a laminated game guide with 7 game cards, favors, camo netting and a reusable box with a prepaid UPS return label. Setup takes minutes: no batteries and no assembly. There is no host or staff, so a parent runs the games. The site's safety guide explains the rules for play.
How does Birthday Battle Box get to the Treasure Coast?
The kit ships by UPS from Richmond, VA; there is no Florida location or pickup spot. Ships free both ways from Richmond, VA. Your box arrives by the Thursday before your party. Return it to UPS by the following Thursday with the prepaid label inside. Enter your ZIP and party date to see the earliest available weekend. The site's how-it-works page describes parties on Friday, Saturday or Sunday and a drop at UPS the following Thursday with the prepaid label.
What if it rains before a Birthday Battle Box party?
Move your party date for free if rain changes your plans, even after the box arrives. Email bookings@birthdaybattlebox.com to arrange the new date and return instructions (FAQ). Treasure Coast afternoons often bring storms, so keep a garage or lanai free as a backup. Public pavilions are stricter: Port St. Lucie reschedules only for staff-confirmed weather, and Martin County doesn't refund for poor weather unless it closes the park.
