The Village Kids

The Village Kids no longer runs a Gymea shop. The official contact page lists parties at 19/70–72 Captain Cook Drive, Caringbah, on (02) 9542 8444. The About page says the Gymea Village retail store has moved online; birthday parties continue at the new location. (The homepage still has a leftover “located in Gymea” line — contact, about and party pages are the ones to trust.)

Parties are hosted drop-off sessions for ages 3 to 10 in a private decorated room. Hosts run age-tailored games and a loud dance routine. Themed packages start at $40 a child (minimum 12, maximum 20, 1.5 hours) and include venue hire, invitations, set-up and pack-down, a host, games, and food such as nuggets and chips, fairy bread, fruit, popcorn, apple juice and crisps. Themes listed include Frozen, disco, superhero, mermaid, princess, pirate, pyjama, fairy and unicorn. Slime, K-pop, painting, braiding, Calm and Create pamper and Little Scientist parties sit above that price.

A $50 deposit holds the date, with the balance due the Friday before. Toys are still sold online, with click-and-collect advertised.
