Birthday partiesLouisville · Derby City
Birthday party places for little kids in Louisville, with prices from their own pages.
Five places in and around Louisville that host birthday parties for little kids, with what each one’s own party page says: the starting price, how many kids it covers, how long you get and what’s included. Prices change and many add tax or fees, so treat them as a starting point. No one pays to be listed here.
Plan the budget
What will the party cost?
Pick how many kids are coming. Totals use only the base price and per-extra-kid price each party page lists, before tax, fees and add-ons. Some places count the birthday child or grown-ups too, so check the card.

No. We list places from their own party pages, and nobody pays for a spot or a better position.
Each listing comes from the venue’s or organizer’s own page and links to it. We only list a date, time or price when that page shows it, and anything we can’t confirm stays off. These were last checked Oct 21, 2026, and we recheck them every three months. How we choose and check.
Get the list every Thursday.
