Birthdays

Reservations can be made online or by email at fremontbirthdayparties@sharksice.com or calling (669) 800-6462. Inquiries will be returned within 48 hours. 

All of our times posted online, are the times we have available. If there are no parties available on the date you are looking for, it means they are unavailable or we are full.

Upon booking, a deposit for the minimum of 10 kids is required. If you have additional kids or would like additional food that can be taken care of the week of the party with the Party Coordinator. If you would like to order food from our catering menu, that must be done by the Wednesday before party date.

The deposit is non-refundable. Parties can be rescheduled based on availability.

There are no cancellations or refunds for birthday parties. However, once booking you are welcome to reschedule pending availability.

No, all birthday parties will be joined on the ice during Public Session with other skaters during this time.

The birthday child is included for free in the party packages. The deposit for 10 guests, which is due at the time of booking, does not include the birthday child.

Adults can be handled a couple of different ways:

1. If they are not skating or eating there is no additional cost for them. If you would like to provide food for the parents, that is just the cost of the food.
2. If the parents would like to skate they can go to the front desk and pay for their own admission for $22.00/person or they can be added to your bill for $20.00/person. Both prices include skate rental and admissions.

We recommend that our guests are at least 3 years of age; however, there is no minimum age to participate in a birthday party. Please note that the smallest skate size for toddlers is 6. We recommend younger skaters to be accompanied by an adult.

If you would like to bring in additional decorations such as balloons, banners, etc. you are more than welcome.You may also bring in additional goodie bags to go along with our party favors. Small goodie bags or candies fit really well into the Zambonis included with the package.

No outside food or drink is allowed, except for a store-bought birthday cake or cupcakes with the purchase of a party package.

Each additional child added to the package will be $38. We recommend no more than 30 children for one party, as space in our party area is limited.

While we can take requests for certain party areas, we cannot guarantee their availability. Each party area is booked based on the size of the birthday party, and how many parties have been booked for that day. Please contact the Party Coordinator for further information.

The party guests do not have to sign a waiver. All guests will be required to wear stickers for admittance onto the ice. 

Gratuity is not included but is based on your experience and enjoyment of the party. Any gratuity amount is sincerely appreciated. 

Skaters tend to warm up while skating, so we recommend dressing in layers. Pants, long socks, long sleeve shirt and a jacket are always a good idea. Many of our guests also wear mittens, hats, and scarves. You are also welcome to bring protective gear, such as a helmet and knee/elbow pads.

Unfortunately we do not provide protective gear such as helmets, elbow or knee pads, but you are more than welcome to supply your own. Many children bring their bike helmets. 

A Party Captain is the party host for the session. Party Captains provide a quick introductory lesson to the kids, supervises the guests while on the ice, serve food and cake in party room, and help clean up throughout the party.

Birthday Party Package Terms & Conditions

DEPOSIT, PAYMENT & PARTY CONFIRMATION

We require a deposit of $380 to book your child’s party. The $380.00 will be applied to the cost of 10 children in the party package. We accept Visa, MasterCard, cash and check. Parties are first come, first served. Party date and time is considered confirmed once a credit card has been put on file for the deposit of $380.00 or has been processed from online booking, and a confirmation from the Party Coordinator has been emailed to you. Upon payment, you agree to the following terms and conditions.

ROOM, TABLE ARRANGEMENTS & AGENDAS

The size of your child’s party will determine the table layout and location within the party room. We set up birthday party areas according to the size of the party and how many parties are booked that day; we can take requests for a certain area within party room or in Stanley’s, but we cannot guarantee specific locations. We reserve the right to relocate your party to a more appropriate area should your expected attendance significantly change or our facility schedule changes. All birthday parties will be joined on the ice at once along with the Public Session.

CATERING & ADDITIONAL FOOD

Please review our Catering Menu for additional food options. All pizzas and platters are made on-site and ordered specifically for your child’s birthday party. So that the Party Coordinator may order the fresh foods necessary, we require a guest count and catering selection no later than the Wednesday prior to your child’s birthday party, unless otherwise noted. Menu pricing does include sales tax. Although you can order some items on the day of your child’s party, not all catering items will be available. Some catering items may not be cancelled after placing your order.

CAKE & OUTSIDE FOOD

We allow a store-bought cake, cupcakes or other dessert for your child’s birthday party. We have both a fridge and freezer to store your dessert. We cannot allow any other outside food to be brought into our facility due to the County Health Code and facility rules. If you do not find what you are looking for on our Catering Menu, the Party Coordinator would be happy to work with you on providing other options for your party. Candy in goodie bags is acceptable. Food restrictions due to allergies or religion should be brought to the attention of the Party Coordinator and limited arrangements can be made.

GUEST COUNT & MINIMUM CHARGES

The minimum guest count for a birthday party is 10 children. Should your party fall below 10 children, adults are welcome to skate in their place. We only charge for the number of children who attend the birthday party. Should this number fall below your guaranteed guest count, we will charge for the additional food provided in the package if applicable to price per person. If there are more children in attendance then the guarantee, we will provide food and bill accordingly to price per person. We like to have the estimated number of adults attending the party to ensure we provide enough space and cutlery for them. Should your adult attendance significantly increase, we may not be able to provide room for everyone based on the limited space for birthday party set-up. It is important to give an accurate estimate to the Party Coordinator when booking your child’s birthday party.

DECORATIONS & CLEAN UP

At this time, we do not provide decorations for birthday parties. We recommend bringing balloons and table decorations. White table cloths are provided, but you are welcome to bring your own as well. Please note that we do not allow silly string, loose glitter, piñatas or anything hanging from the ceiling. Banners may be a possibility depending which party area your child’s party is located. We allow parties to arrive no more than 30 minutes before their scheduled party time to decorate. Please refrain from using tape or other adhesives that would remove paint from the walls.

TIPS & GRATUITY

Gratuity is not included in the party package. If you would like to leave a tip for your Party Captain(s), it is based on your experience and enjoyment of the party. Any amount is sincerely appreciated.
