๐ŸŽ‰ Kids Parties at the CheckOut!

Host a one-of-a-kind kids party at the CheckOut โ€” a former convenience store turned cozy music venue and creative hangout. Our storefront space is full of character, with a small stage, instruments, and a warm, welcoming vibe that makes celebrations feel special without being fussy.

Kids can play, dance, sing, and celebrate while adults relax in a space that actually feels designed for them, too.

We provide tables, chairs, and a flexible open layout perfect for games, cake, music, and hanging out. Just bring food, drinks, decorations, and anything special youโ€™d like for your party, and make yourself at home.


๐Ÿ’ฒ Simple Pricing

We keep pricing straightforward.

$150 per hour
2-hour minimum
+$100 cleaning fee per party

Most families book 2โ€“3 hours, depending on how much time they want for set-up, celebrating, and packing up.

Your reserved time includes set-up and clean-up, so if youโ€™d like 30 minutes before the party to set up and 30 minutes after to pack up, please include that time in your reservation.


๐Ÿ”Š Music & Sound

As a professional music venue, the CheckOut can provide access to our high-quality sound system for playlists, announcements, or dance parties.

Want to host a mini talent show, sing-along, or dance party? Youโ€™ve got the gear to make it happen.

(Some sound and technical support may be included. Additional equipment or staffing may involve an extra fee, depending on what you need. Please let us know in advance so we can provide pricing.)


๐Ÿน Bar Add-On (for the grown-ups)

Want to make it fun for adults, too?
