Birthday Parties

We understand the importance of getting outdoors and being active. Why not incorporate that into your child’s next birthday party?


We offer both our Woodland Birthday parties and our Mobile Play Parties which can pop up in almost any outdoor venue.  With our birthday party experiences all of the children are engaged from start to finish, that’s two hours where all the children are taking part and having fun. Compare that to a bowling experience where a child bowls twice every 6 minutes with the rest of their time spent sitting waiting. This birthday experience will be far more entertaining and enjoyable so much so that parents might want to join in too, which we encourage!

Our birthday experiences are also designed to encourage children to play outdoors long after the party experience. The games they will learn and activities they will try will get them excited about being outdoors and likely cause them to revisit the games in the future with their friends.

All of our Birthday Party options run all year round all across Scotland and we have many children who return year on year because they loved it so much.

Great fun from start to finish!

All of our parties include:

  • Tailoring to your child’s interests.
  • Two hours run time (although more time can be purchased)
  • Inclusive and engaging from start to finish.
  • Encouragement to try new activities and learn new skills in a fun and safe environment.

We believe in making this a special birthday for your child. We have lots of experience, delivering parties for children as young as two all the way up to teenagers. We’ll ensure it’s a fun and exciting birthday to remember!

“Thanks so much for the party on Sunday. Everyone has been telling me their child had a great time“

“What a great idea, the children were engaged from start to finish and my daughter has already asked if she could do it again for her birthday next year, great job, very impressed.“

  • At least two supervising adults must be present during the party at all times.
  • We do our best to book a party at a woodland near you and have dates available at various parks throughout the year. We have permission to use several public parks and greenspaces, however in the event we don’t have enough party vacancies to meet demand we can request permission to use another park if given 6 weeks notice prior to the party. In the event your party is within 6 weeks of booking we have a smaller selection of parks to choose from which may be in another area of the city.
  • Parties are charged separately depending on which area you are in and may incur additional costs for travel. 
  • All participants must come appropriately dressed for the weather. In the event where participants are not appropriately dressed, they may not be allowed to take part in the activities.

  • When we meet at the start of the birthday party there is always a bit of a walk to the site. Sometimes as long as 15 min depending on what site we use. It is therefore recommended that all participants arrive at least 15 min early to allow for time to get to site. Any delays may result in activities not happening or being cut short

This simply means we like to leave the woods the way we found them or better. To teach this principle we ask all of our participants to take down their dens, pick up their litter and put out the fire to ensure the woods are put back to their original state.
  • When we meet at the start of the birthday party there is always a bit of a walk to the site. Sometimes as long as 15 min depending on what site we use. It is therefore recommended that all participants arrive at least 15 min early to allow for time to get to site. Any delays may result in activities not happening or being cut short

Operation Play Outdoors Box Play Birthday Parties

Box Play Birthday Parties

available from June 2023

Our Box Play parties are the only parties we deliver entirely indoors. Imagine a sports hall full of cardboard boxes, with a massive fort to explore and lots of creative play. We’ll pop up the boxes and play lots of games as well as allowing for time to play freely with the boxes and see what ideas unfold. Children can build their own dens, castles, obstacle courses, and we’ve had cinemas, spaceships, pirate ships. It’s amazing to open up their imaginations in the world of Box Play.

At OpOut we value the time we have for play so like to make the most of play opportunities. Our parties offer far more play time compared to traditional birthday party options. Our parties also have the added benefit of giving children games and activities to try long after the party is over.
