Frequently asked questions
We understand that paint can get messy, but we’ve made it easy for you. Here’s how we help:
Ponchos Available: We recommend wearing our ponchos during painting for extra protection, or you can wear them afterward if you'd like.
Fan Station: After the fun, kids can dry off at our fan station, helping the paint set before they leave.
Changing Area: We also have a designated changing area where kids can switch into clean clothes.
Car Protection: We sell plastic coverings for the car to ensure your seats stay clean on the way home.
And don’t worry—the paint is washable, but it may stain certain fabrics, so we recommend wearing old clothes just in case! This way, everyone can enjoy the experience without worrying about the mess.
Every Splatter Box party is designed for maximum fun with minimal stress — we handle the setup, supplies, and cleanup so you can just enjoy the celebration! Each package includes goggles, paint, brushes, palettes, and a high-energy space built for creative chaos.
Here’s the typical party flow: Cake & Celebration – Gather your guests, sing happy birthday, and enjoy your treats. Presents & Photos – Open gifts, take pictures, and get ready to paint. Paint Time – Head into the splatter zone for about an hour of colorful fun! Clean-Up & Goodbyes – Wrap up with photos, gather artwork, and say your goodbyes while our team handles the mess.
Absolutely! You can purchase extra paint anytime through our online add-on menu or in store at the Paint Bar.
Each party includes a starting amount of paint, but paint usage really depends on your group’s style:
🎨 More artsy and detailed designs tend to use less paint. 💥 Big, messy, abstract fun? That usually goes through paint faster!
If you think your group will want to go wild—or if you just want a rainbow of colors—stock up ahead of time so no one runs out mid-splatter!
Do we need to fill out a waiver?
Yes — a quick waiver is required for all participants, but it’s super easy! You’ll receive a link to complete it online before your visit, which helps check-in go faster and keeps the focus on fun.
Each child’s parent or guardian will need to complete their own waiver, so please share the link with your guests ahead of time. If someone forgets, no worries — waivers can also be filled out when you arrive.
We just want to make sure everyone’s covered, safe, and ready to splash!
Do we eat or paint first? Great question! 🎉 We strongly recommend starting with cupcakes, snacks, and any other party activities before entering the paint zone. It’s the best way to celebrate, open gifts, and fuel up before getting messy! 🎂
Because the painting area can be chaotic (and colorful!), it’s best to enjoy all food and party moments first, while everyone is still clean and gathered.
If you have a special reason to flip the order, we’re happy to consider it—but we’ll need to know well in advance. Unfortunately, we’re not able to accommodate same-day changes.
Let us know what you’re envisioning, and we’ll do our best to help make it awesome!
We offer several party options, each with its own time frame — so be sure to check your specific party listing for exact details.
We find that 90 minutes is the perfect amount of time for cake, presents, and plenty of painting fun! 🎉
If parents will be picking up their kids after the party, we recommend having them arrive about 1 hour and 15 minutes after the start time. This gives them time to help their child grab a poncho or purchase plastic to protect the car from those colorful splashes.
We want every group to have an amazing time — and an easy, mess-free sendoff! 😊
This session is not a private event, which means you'll get to share the fun and creative energy with other painters! It's a great opportunity to connect with others and enjoy the lively atmosphere.
If having a private party is important to you, please contact us for details—we’d be happy to discuss options to make your event extra special! 😊
❓ How early should I arrive for my party?
Arrival time depends on which party package you’ve booked:
Mini Party and Splatter Party – These bookings do not offer early arrival. Your party start time is your arrival time, and setup begins when you check in.
Birthday Party – You may arrive up to 30 minutes before your scheduled start time for setup, greeting guests, and getting ready to celebrate before paint time begins.
📌 Please note that early arrivals outside of these times may overlap with other parties or events in progress.
We're excited you're thinking about decorating! 🎉 While our space is already colorful and fun, you’re welcome to bring balloons and a table cloth to add a personal touch. 🎈 We do keep it limited to just balloons, since the space is designed to be bright and festive on its own, and it helps keep things simple for you!
For safety and cleanup reasons, we do not allow banners, glitter, confetti, noise makers, silly string, piñatas, or open flames (other than birthday candles). Thanks for understanding and helping us keep Splatter Box fun for everyone!
If you have a special request or idea, just let us know—we’re here to make your party
awesome and stress-free!
Celebrate in Style! Your party includes a dedicated party table — perfect for cake, snacks, and drinks while everyone celebrates in colorful style!
Cupcakes are always a crowd favorite for their easy grab-and-go fun, and simple treats like fruit, veggie trays, or chips keep the energy up!
You’re welcome to bring food, drinks, and decorations to make the space your own — we’ll handle the cleanup so you can focus on the fun!
Yes, your group will have a designated cake table to use during the party! 🎂 While the space is shared with other guests, you’ll have that special spot for your cupcakes and presents. There will also be plenty of standing room for everyone to enjoy the festivities and get creative with painting. We’re here to make sure you have a fantastic time! 🎉
Yes, we’ve added plenty of seating with benches in the party area, perfect for those who prefer to sit, like older guests or parents. While the party space is spacious and allows for easy mingling, dancing, and movement, there’s still plenty of comfortable seating for those who want to relax and enjoy the celebration. The area is designed to be energetic and social, ensuring everyone has a great time—whether standing, dancing, or sitting back and enjoying the party!
Yes, goggles are included! 🥽 We provide them for all guests to ensure everyone has fun while staying protected from paint splatters. Safety first, after all!
We also recommend wearing ponchos for extra protection, and we have additional options available for purchase if you’d like. Feel free to bring your own ponchos, too! Our goal is to make sure you have a colorful, worry-free experience! 🎨💥
Absolutely! We know it’s hard to predict exactly who will show up—does anyone RSVP these days? 😆 That’s why we offer ultimate flexibility! If space allows, last-minute painters can join in for $19 each, and every additional painter comes with extra paint to keep the creativity flowing.
A couple of extra guests? No problem! If you expect a bigger turnout than planned, just check with us first to ensure we have room. We want everyone—kids, parents, grandparents, or friends—to be able to enjoy the experience without any stress!
🍕 Can we bring pizza or other food?
To keep parties running smoothly, we recommend limiting food to cake, cupcakes, and bottled drinks.
We’ve found that when pizza is added, it often arrives late and runs into paint time or the next group’s setup window — which can cut into your celebration and create stress.
Our 30-minute party table time is perfect for cake, photos, and presents before painting begins. Most kids are too excited to eat much anyway (especially once they see the paint)!
If you do decide to bring additional food, please plan carefully — your time includes setup, celebration, and cleanup.
