Tynemouth and the surrounding North Tyneside area have a strong selection of children's birthday party venues, from guided aquarium tours to adventure golf and pool parties. Here is the complete guide.

Blue Reef Aquarium — Themed Sea Parties

Tynemouth Aquarium (formerly Blue Reef) on Grand Parade offers themed birthday party packages with a guided tour, birthday tea, and party bags. Choose from a Pirate Party (eye patches, cutlass, treasure trail, and pirate birthday meal), a Mermaid Party (marine expert tour, fairytale storytelling, and mermaid-themed tea), or a Shark Party (shark feeding demonstration and certificate).

Tynemouth Park — Adventure Golf and Inflatables

Tynemouth Park offers party packages featuring giant inflatable slides, a pirate maze, and dinosaur-themed crazy golf. The Greenhouse cafe within the park provides catering options. Minimum 15 people per party. A good outdoor option when the weather cooperates — and the park setting means there is plenty of space for children to run around afterwards.

North Tyneside Leisure Centres — Swimming and Sports

North Tyneside Council leisure centres offer children's pool parties and activity sessions across the borough. The closest to Tynemouth is the Parks Leisure Centre in North Shields, with swimming pool parties that include floats, inflatables, and use of the wave machine. Buoyancy aids provided for younger children. Contact your preferred centre directly for packages and pricing.

Best for: Pool parties with inflatables and wave machines, multiple venues across North Tyneside.

Linskill Centre — Hall Hire

The Linskill Centre on Linskill Terrace in North Shields (a 10-minute walk from Tynemouth) offers affordable hall hire for birthday parties of all sizes. Several rooms are available depending on your group size, and you can bring in your own entertainment, decorations, and food. A good option if you want full control over the party format.

Best for: Affordable DIY hall hire, close to Tynemouth, flexible room sizes.

Jump 360 — Trampolining

Jump 360 in Benton (about 6 miles from Tynemouth) offers 60-minute jump sessions plus 30 minutes in a party room. Ages 4 and above, minimum 10 children, around £16 to £18 per head. Trampolines, foam pits, and dodgeball courts make for an energetic celebration.

Best for: Mobile party entertainment brought to your venue, Nerf battles and disco packages.

Tips

Book the aquarium early. Weekend slots at Tynemouth Aquarium are limited to one or two parties per day and fill up quickly during term time.

Check the tide times. If you are using Tynemouth Park, a post-party trip to the Long Sands beach is a natural extension — but check the tide before promising the children a paddle.

Parking. Tynemouth seafront parking can be tight on sunny weekends. The Linskill Centre and Jump 360 both have dedicated car parks.
