Pro tip: in my experience, the animals seem to be up and moving more in the morning!
Dave and Busters: you can’t go wrong with a Dave and Busters! Arcade games, prizes, good food, this place is fun for everyone, so let those teens run wild and maybe try a few rounds of Skee – Ball yourself.

Gilbert / Chandler
Gravity Extreme Zone: with trampolines, a ropes course, and unnerving attractions like their Leap of Faith, it’s a high-energy destination for non-stop fun. The unique Drop Slide is Gravity Extreme Zone’s most fun attraction in my opinion – hold onto the handlebars as the mechanism slowly pull you up to 30-feet in the air and let go when you’re ready!
Topgolf: with climate-controlled bays, games for all skill levels, and tasty food options, Topgolf promises a memorable and fun celebration. Whether they’re golf enthusiasts or just want a unique experience, Topgolf creates the perfect atmosphere for a fantastic teenage birthday party.

The Role of a Party Bus
Now that you’ve mapped out the perfect party stops, let’s talk about transportation. Why settle for the ordinary when you can add a touch of luxury and fun with a party bus?
The Party Bus Experience
Picture this: a stylish, spacious bus equipped with booming sound systems, LED lights, and comfy seating. A party bus takes your celebration to the next level, allowing the party to continue between stops. It’s not just transportation; it’s an experience on wheels!
Our most popular option is our Mercedes Party Bus. Seating for up to 14 guests, these party buses have limousine style interiors with the room to stand up and move around. With Bluetooth audio, your teenager can build his / her favorite playlist and jam with friends to and from the birthday party destination(s).
For larger groups, we have 20-40 passenger party buses equipped with all the party bus amenities: Bluetooth audio, party lights, plush leather seating, etc. We stock all party buses with water / ice and the group is welcome to bring additional age-appropriate drinks on board.
Advantages of Choosing a Party Bus
- Convenience: Forget the hassle of coordinating multiple cars. A party bus ensures everyone arrives together, making logistics a breeze.
- Safety First: With a professional driver at the wheel, safety is a top priority, so parents can rest easy knowing their teens are in good hands. We have additional rules for minors to keep your child safe the entirety of the trip.
- Onboard Entertainment: The fun doesn’t stop when you’re on the move. Party buses come equipped with entertainment systems, so the teenage birthday party celebration continues between destinations.
Why a Party Bus Makes a Difference
A party bus isn’t just a ride; it’s a memory-maker. It adds an extra layer of excitement and eliminates transportation stress, allowing everyone to focus on creating unforgettable moments. To make the the teenage birthday party even more special, you can coordinate with your driver to add birthday decorations to the party bus prior to pickup! We recommend decor such as balloon bouquets and ask that you avoid messy decorations like confetti.
