You may be asking, what in the world is Noon Years Eve? It’s an awesome mid-day alternative to New Years Eve for kids that can’t stay up past bedtime. Instead of ringing in the new years eve at midnight, we move the celebrations to noon and still get the kids in bed at the normal time! If you’re a parent, you know exactly why this is important! 😉
Noon Years Eve has gained in popularity over the past few years, so below we have gathered a list of spots in Raleigh that are offering this fun tradition in 2020!
Little Doodles Play Cafe
We attended the Little Doodles Noon Years Eve celebration back when they were known as Snickerdoodles. It was a fun open play event that was nicely decorated and included a toast bar as a snack. At noon they had a countdown and balloon drop.
This year’s celebration is $10.00 admission per PERSON (ages 1+) and includes the following:
– Open Play
– Photo Booth
– Music
– Crafts
– Countdown & Balloon Drop at Noon!
– “Toast” to the New Year! Enjoy a Toast Buffet lunch with a selection of breads and toppings. Two slices per person.
The café will be open for additional drink and snack purchases. Reservations are required for adults and children. Space is limited. Buy your tickets here.
Alara+Zane
In addition to all the regular Alara+Zane play experiences, children will get to decorate their own party hat, choose a keepsake craft, enjoy a festive snack, and dance away the year to a live musical performance (there will be 2 musicians playing guitar and singing upbeat and interactive children songs).
Each child ticket to this not to be missed NYE bash will include:
-Admission for 2 hour to Alara+Zane Play space (limited to 1 accompanying adult per family)
-A mini bottle of sparkling cider and a choice of snack
-Crafts
-Confetti Popper
-A few props for our photo wall
There are two party times on December 30th at 10am and 4pm, plus the regular 10am on the 31st. Cost is $32 per child, which includes one accompanying adult. Buy your tickets here.
BounceU
This bouncing fun good time includes one hour of open bounce on the inflatables. The kids will then move to the party room to celebrate the coming New Year and enjoy snacks & drinks. Cost is $15/participant. Adults must stay on premises as this is NOT a drop-off event. Buy your ticket here.
Bumble Brews Play Cafe (Sold Out)
Bumble Brews is a new tot spot this year so we’re not sure what their celebration will include. Cost is $8 per child and adults are free. Message them on Facebook to reserve your spot and you will pay on arrival.
