Which Birthday Party Package Is Right for Your Child? A Guide to All Four Chubby Shark Tiers

Planning a birthday party for your little one? At Chubby Shark Playroom, we have designed four distinct party packages so every family can find the perfect fit — whether you are hosting a cozy gathering of 10 or throwing the ultimate full-facility bash for 25 kids. And here is the best part: food is included at every single tier.

How Our Party Model Works

For our Baby Shark, Reef Shark, and Hammerhead packages, the event follows a two-phase structure. During the first 60 minutes, your party guests join the general play area along with other open play customers — everyone gets to enjoy the full playroom together. Then for the remaining 30 to 60 minutes, your group moves into the dedicated private party room for food, cake, and celebration. We always describe these as Party Room Reservations, not private parties, so you know exactly what to expect.

The Megalodon package is the exception — it is a full private buyout of the entire facility, meaning the whole playroom and party room are exclusively yours for the entire event.

Baby Shark — From $269 Weekday / $349 Weekend

Perfect for smaller, intimate celebrations. The Baby Shark package accommodates up to 10 children for 90 minutes. It includes one dedicated party host, a basic ocean-theme decor setup with a welcome sign, and full staff setup and cleanup. Food is provided by VIP Pizza: two cheese pizzas and drinks for the group. Simple, fun, and stress-free.

Reef Shark — From $379 Weekday / $449 Weekend

Our most popular entry-level package and the best per-child value in the Chester County area at just $29.93 per child on weekends. Reef Shark hosts up to 15 children for 2 hours and builds on everything in Baby Shark with a full decor package including banner, balloon arrangement, and a themed table setup, plus personalized favor bags for every child and a digital invite template. Food is upgraded to two pizzas with your choice of one topping plus drinks, all from VIP Pizza.

Hammerhead — From $569 Weekday / $649 Weekend

Ready to go bigger? Hammerhead includes everything in Reef Shark plus a second dedicated party host, a premium custom-themed decor set using original designs (no licensed IP — think Superhero Theme, Arctic Princess, Ocean Explorer), and upgraded themed favor bags. You also get allergy-captured catering with your choice of VIP Pizza with up to two toppings, or our signature TukTuk Thai Kitchen tray-served menu — the only Thai catering option at a kids' party venue in this area.

Megalodon — $999 Flat Rate (Any Day)

The ultimate Chubby Shark experience. Megalodon is a full private buyout of the entire facility for up to 25 children, running 2 to 2.5 hours. Everything is included: two party hosts, a dedicated event photographer (edited photos delivered via Google Drive within 48 hours), a premium drinks bar with 25 drinks included, a Chubby Shark Gift Set for the birthday child (plush doll, branded sticker, and edited photo memory), a Costco birthday cake, full custom theme and decor, and dual catering from TukTuk Thai Kitchen and VIP Pizza. The price is the same any day of the week.

Food Policy

We maintain a no-BYO food policy across all packages — your food is handled by our trusted vendor partners at every tier. The one exception: you are welcome to bring your own birthday cake with advance notice and an allergen acknowledgment at booking. All allergy information is captured at the time of booking and shared with our staff before every party.
