How to organize an unforgettable birthday for a child in Paris?

Organizing a children's birthday party in Paris often means looking for a compromise between practicality, quality entertainment and a secure environment. Many parents want to give their child a happy, original and supervised party, without turning their living room into a play area. This need meets Octopia, a space dedicated to children aged 0 to 8 in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. Each week, several families celebrate their children's birthdays here in a place designed for play, creativity and celebration, without stress for parents. Thanks to three well-thought-out formulas, Octopia offers a tailor-made framework for a successful birthday, from 1 year to 8 years.

Formulas that evolve according to age and desires

Octopia offers three distinct birthday packages, depending on the age of the child, the type of animation desired, and the level of customization. All formulas include entertainment, a sweet buffet and a welcome supervised by an animator, in a safe and child-friendly space.

The reservation must be made at least one week in advance, in order to guarantee the availability of the team and the logistical organization.
