Summit Park Shelter in El Dorado
Lauren D. says “You can rent the covered shelters by calling the Parks & Rec department. I think it costs around $25 to rent one. Definitely a good idea to reserve if you’re going to have a bday party!”
High Park in Derby
Derby Recreation Center – gymnasium rental
Derby Public Library
Alison B. said, “We did a birthday party in there and they were very easy to work with.”
Sedgwick County Park has several shelters – some enclosed and some open.
Wichita Public Library has rooms of all sizes at most every location around the city.
Watermark Books
Michele R says, “I had my baby shower at Watermark Books….you can rent a room for free if you use their cafe to supply food (it is good food and not expensive)….you would have to decorate room and provide all the fun stuff.”
Andover Fire Station – free!
Christina H. mentioned that “My son was 2 and by the time we climbed all over the trucks, ate pizza and cake and opened presents it was time to end the party.”
