A private room for up to 45 guests in Kirkland, with a soft play corner, workshops and free on-site parking. Here is exactly what you get when you rent Lulu, what it costs, and how to hold a date.
There is a moment every parent hits about two weeks before a birthday: the guest list has grown past the size of your living room, the weather forecast has stopped cooperating, and you realise the party needs somewhere to happen. Renting a room solves the problem, but most halls in the Greater Seattle area are built for wedding receptions and corporate away-days, not for eleven six-year-olds and a bubble machine.
Lulu is the other kind of space. It is a kids party venue in Kirkland that was designed around children from the floor up, and you rent the whole room for your slot. This is what that actually includes, what it costs, and how to hold a date.
What you get when you rent the room
Booking Lulu is a private hire: for your time slot the space is yours, not shared with another party on the other side of a divider. The room seats up to 45 guests, which in practice covers a class-sized party plus the parents who stay.
Every booking comes with the room set up and ready:
- Spacious event room, private for your slot
- Seating for 45 guests, with tables and chairs included
- White or coloured chairs, depending on your theme
- Private restroom
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speakers for your playlist
- Climate controlled, so a July party and a January party feel the same
- Wheelchair accessible
- Easy, free on-site parking
Pricing starts at $300. What moves the number is the length of your slot and the extras you add, which is why the booking form asks for the date and guest count before anyone quotes you.
A room built for kids, not a hall you have to childproof
The practical difference between a children's venue and a generic function room shows up in the small things. The interior is bright and photo-ready, so the pictures you take on your phone look like the ones you saw when you were choosing a venue. The walls and fittings are made to be decorated and undecorated in an afternoon, whatever the theme is this year.
For families with a toddler in tow there is a soft play area: a cushioned corner with soft modules and padded edges where the youngest guests can crawl and climb while the older children are doing something noisier. In a mixed-age party that corner is usually the reason the whole thing stays calm.
You can see the room and the layout on the venue features section of our homepage, and the full photo set in the gallery there.
Add the fun without booking five separate suppliers
The part that eats a parent's week is not the room. It is the entertainer who only answers on WhatsApp, the craft supplies from three different shops, and the goodie bags assembled at midnight. Those can all be booked with the room:
Entertainment programs
A host-led program with a beloved character, interactive games, adventures and quests, sized to the age group so that nobody in the room is either bored or overwhelmed.
Creative workshops
A hands-on activity each child takes home: cap and t-shirt decorating, tote bags, painting, slime, perfume making, or a toy build. One workshop usually anchors the middle of a party neatly.
Extras that carry a room
A paper disco, face painting or a bubble show — the kind of thing that turns the last half hour from restless into memorable.
Decorations and goodie bags
Themed balloon garlands, character backdrops and photo zones, set up before your guests arrive. Goodie bags come themed and filled — small gifts, plaster figurines to paint, an activity book, bubbles — so nobody is assembling party favours the night before.
You can mix and match: rent the bare room and bring your own everything, or hand the whole programme over. Both are normal here.
Where it is, and the parking question
Lulu is at 11909 124th Ave NE, Kirkland, WA 98034, a few minutes off the main routes through the Eastside and an easy drive from Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell and Woodinville.
The parking answer matters more than venues admit, because a party arrives all at once. There is free on-site parking, so fifteen families turning up within the same ten minutes is not a problem, and the entrance is accessible for everyone including strollers and wheelchairs.
The map and directions are on the location section of the homepage.
What it costs and how to hold a date
Pricing starts at $300, and the final quote depends on your slot length, guest count and which extras you add.
Booking is deliberately low-friction:
- Pick your date and a start time on the calendar on our homepage.
- Leave your name, phone and email, plus the number of guests and the kind of celebration.
- We confirm the slot and the final quote with you directly.
There is no online payment step and no card details to enter on the site — a booking starts as a request, and a person confirms it. Popular Saturdays go first, so if you have a fixed date in mind it is worth checking it early.
If you are still at the planning stage rather than the booking stage, our guide to planning a stress-free kids party in Kirkland covers timing, guest numbers and food.
Frequently asked questions
How many people fit in the venue?
Up to 45 guests, counting the adults who stay. For a typical class party with parents, that is comfortable rather than tight.
Can we bring our own food and birthday cake?
Yes. Bringing your own cake and food is normal here — see the FAQ page for the current details on catering and what the kitchen area allows.
Do I have to pay online to hold a date?
No. You send a booking request through the calendar and the team confirms the date and the quote with you. No card details are entered on the website.
Can we decorate the room ourselves?
Yes — the room is made to be decorated for any theme, and you can bring your own decor. If you would rather not, we can style the room for you with balloons, backdrops and a photo zone.
Is the venue suitable for toddlers?
Yes. There is a dedicated soft play area with padded edges for the youngest guests, which is the usual reason mixed-age parties work well here.

We will confirm the slot and take it from there.
