Big Don's offers 7 of our kid friendly activities (mini golf, maze, squirt tube frenzy, rock climbing wall, gemstone panning, treasure digs and new Bounce House) to give children and parents a great formula for BIG Birthday Party Fun. Birthday parties start at $8 per child which is unquestionably the best birthday party value in the community, especially considering the high quality of the  facility. If you scroll down, you can download our Party Planner form which summarizes all of this information.

We offer FOUR core party activities to choose from for our Birthday Party packages. These activities can be supplemented for even more fun by adding on  supplemental activities to make the party into a Big Party or Super Big Party.

Our four core activities to choose from feature Miniature Golf, Gemstone Panning, Squirt Tube Frenzy and Treasure Digs (see descriptions elsewhere on our site under Things To Do). The party packages includes: the activity or activities selected, a reservation in our pavilion with 14 to 20 feet of picnic table space depending on the party size, a Happy Birthday sign to designate your area with a few balloons attached, an 8 x 10 portrait of the Birthday Party Group, a Big Don's Wild River T-Shirt for the birthday child, cans of soda, choice of chips, pickup and delivery of pizza ordered through Big Don's, a discount coupon to Big Don's as a Party Favor for each child, plates, forks and napkins (please ask hostess if you do not bring your own themed ones), and an assigned host or hostess to take the timing and planning pressure off Mom and Dad.  One activity parties start at $8-$10/per child depending on the activity selected. Download the attached party planner (found below) to determine your party activity options. (Please note when completing your form that parties are begun only on the Hour, never at half past or otherwise. Sunday parties begin at 1 PM. Also, be sure and call to confirm the intended slot is still available. Thanks!) Note: a $5 gratuity for the hostess who provides the above services for your party is added to the after tax cost.

Food: We offer pizza as a food option and we have taken the cost of food out of our pricing to allow you to customize your party to accommodate the exact number of your guests including other adults or to forego that option entirely. Our host or hostess still orders, picks up and delivers the pizza from Gino and Joe's on Rte. 31 in Cicero so that it arrives at the right time at your party. If you have planned a birthday party with us, we also afford you the option of bringing in your own food or pizza to our facility. 

Length of Party- A one activity party starts on the top of each hour and will last from 1.5 to 2 hours including the activity, time for cake, presents and whatever your food option. Two activity parties will run more in the 2 to 2.5 hours range. 3 activity parties will be more in the 2.5 to 2.75 hour range. Because we generally have a pretty busy party schedule, it is important that all parties be completely wrapped up by the 3 hour point to make room for our next guests. Our host or hostess will do their best to keep you on track with this schedule, but your cooperation is essential. Thanks!

Please note: Big Don's does not permit the use of our pavilion for birthday parties by those not electing our birthday party packages (or their bringing cakes, decorations, food to our pavilion).  The use of our pavilion and tables or gazebo is  reserved for our guests with scheduled parties and the general use of Big Don's guests. See Do-It-Yourself Parties for an alternative option.

Do-It-Yourself Parties

If you want to have your party at Big Don's but want one that is heavy on activities with a lower price per person than a standard party package, we now have an option for you. We now offer a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) option based on space availability. This is how it works. You rent our new private gazebo for $20 for a 2.5 hour period so you have a private place to set up for your party. Our beautiful gazebo has picnic tables to seat 24. For a single activity DIY party (mini golf or squirt tube frenzy) you pay our regular price for the activity but nothing extra for hosting services. For multiple activity parties, we give you the benefit of discount package pricing on your activities. This option offers you all the benefits of fun at Big Don's and an exclusive private gazebo for party setup.

We provide service for the activities that you do like we do for all of our customers. Since this is Do-It-Yourself, we do not provide a hostess, a portrait, a Big Don's T-shirt, soda or chips, pick-up and delivery of pizza, place settings, return passes for the guests or greeting sign and balloons. The available time slots are Saturday at 10AM, 12:30PM, 3PM or 5:30PM. Sunday, the time slots are 12 Noon, 2:30PM or 5PM. Weekdays, 11AM, 1:30PM, 4PM, 6:30PM. A $20 deposit reserves the party slot for you. Refund of deposits are only in the case of rainouts at the time of the party. Minimum dollar amount for activities and gazebo combined is $54.
