2. Volleyball Beach
Hit the court and hit the patio. Volleyball Beach, located at 1198 W. St. Highway NN in Ozark, is for any preteen looking for fun and a space for sandy selfies. Perfect for boys and girls (or a mix of both), with food available on site, Volleyball Beach makes planning a birthday a breeze. “Our birthday party packages are easily customizable, and parties can include an organized match or just a reserved court,” said Madisen Bettlach, owner. “Plus, we have a great patio where parents can hang out during the party.”
3. Heirloom Candle Bar
A party and a DIY favor. Downtown Springfield's Pour-Your-Own Candle Bar is lit for creative and crafty preteens. Heirloom Candle Bar is a cute and cozy spot to pour your own custom candles, with an aesthetic perfect for selfies and TikTok. Reservations are required for groups larger than six, and custom candles made by each guest start at $24 each.
4. Republic Warrior Sports
Awaken your inner warrior and put down the video game controller. Ninja Birthday Parties are for high-energy preteens looking to tear into an experience. After a brief (and necessary) safety demonstration by a real competitor from American Ninja Warrior, guests can literally bounce off the walls or compete in a Follow the Ninja Game. After they’re worn out, feed them cake you provide in a private room, included in all party rentals.
