Yes, for a children’s birthday, we recommend one of our packs so every child gets to try several activities. We also set up a decorated table for the celebration. You’re welcome to bring your own birthday cake, in that case, we charge €1.50 per person for service and use of our facilities.
A birthday party at Experience Factory Antwerp is a pack of activities, a decorated table and a whole floor to run around on, entirely indoors. Mini karting for the youngest, the 1.1 km karting track from 1.30 metres, Time Mission from age 6, the quiz game and the karaoke rooms with no age limit at all, and more than 40 arcade machines.
Everything happens in one building, so you drop off once and pick up once. We are open seven days a week, all year round, and the weather outside makes no difference to the party.
What is included in a children's birthday party?
A birthday pack is built like any other visit: one main experience, karting or Time Mission, plus one or more social experiences, which are axe throwing, interactive darts, karaoke, the quiz game and the gaming arcades. Discovery is two activities, Epic three and Legendary four, each from four children up.
Every pack includes free arcade credits for the under-14s: 12 with Discovery, 24 with Epic and 36 with Legendary. We set up a decorated table for the birthday child, and you are welcome to bring your own cake. In that case we charge €1.50 per person for the service and the use of our facilities.
Plan for at least two hours on site. Discovery runs two to three hours, Epic three to four and Legendary four to five, registration and briefing included. Group size stays flexible: the quiz game needs at least four players, the karaoke rooms hold eight to sixteen, and on the karting track a Start session (Speed 2) takes 16 young drivers while a Fun session (Speed 3) takes 28. For a bigger group we build the programme and the time slots around you.

A birthday party for teenagers
From about twelve, a birthday stops being about the cake and starts being about who wins.
The karting track is the obvious answer: 1.1 km over three levels with banked corners, the longest electric karting circuit in Europe. A junior kart from 1.30 metres is just as fast as an adult kart in the same session, and we have eight of them. From 14 they drive Race sessions (Speed 4), up to 32 on the track, or earlier with a Silver licence. Lap times and licences are saved on each teenager’s own Experience ID, so the Bronze, Silver and Gold levels carry over to the next visit. Gold is earned with three laps under 1:10.
Axe throwing opens up at 14, on caged double lanes with autoscoring and a coach at the start of every session. Interactive darts is advised from 14 as well, with 48 players across six boards, steel tips and camera scoring. The quiz game and the karaoke rooms have no minimum age, and Time Mission drops teams of two to five into 25 interactive rooms for a full hour.
And then the arcades: more than 40 machines, from the Need for Speed and Super Bikes simulators to basketball hoops, air hockey, Alley Bowler lanes, Dance Dance Revolution and the claw machines.
Ages, food and booking
Ages at a glance. Mini karting from 2 to 3 years old accompanied, on their own from about 4 to 5. Karting from 1.30 metres, usually around 7 to 8 years old, and from about 1.50 metres for an adult kart. Time Mission from 6, accompanied up to 13. Axe throwing from 14. Interactive darts advised from 14. Karaoke, the quiz game and the gaming arcades have no minimum age.
Food and drinks. Everything is served on site, so outside food and drinks are not allowed, still water and the birthday cake excepted. For the cake we charge €1.50 per person for the service and the use of our facilities. The sharing menu covers nachos, pizza, loaded fries, snacks and burgers, and there are soft drinks, mocktails and around twenty beers for the adults. For a seated group meal, our three-course buffet menus start from €48 per person.
Booking. Book online, and get in touch for a large group. Book ahead if you want a particular slot, because the Start karting sessions for younger children only run at set times of day. There are 260 free parking spaces at the door, 200 of them covered, and parents who stay can wait at the bar, which looks out over the karting track.

FAQ
Whatever your child’s age, Experience Factory Antwerp is the perfect place for their birthday party, a choice of activities for boys and girls alike, fully indoors, a decorated table, cake and more. The recipe for happy kids.
A children’s birthday party is priced per person through one of our packs: from €39 for two activities, €59 for three and €79 for four, from four children up. Under-14s receive free arcade credits with every pack, and packs are cheaper during off-peak hours.

From about 2 to 3 years old for mini karting with an adult, and from about 4 to 5 on their own. The main karting track starts at 1.30 metres tall, usually around 7 to 8 years old. Time Mission is from age 6, accompanied up to 13. Axe throwing is from 14, and interactive darts is advised from 14. The quiz game, the karaoke rooms and the gaming arcades have no minimum age, so in a group of mixed ages everyone has something to join.
There’s no strict minimum or maximum, group size depends mainly on which pack and activities you choose. On the karting track a children’s birthday runs in a Start session (Speed 2), which takes up to 16 young drivers and is compulsory under 10, or in a Fun session (Speed 3), which takes up to 28 and is compulsory under 14. Race sessions are for drivers of 14 and over. Elsewhere the quiz game needs at least 4 players and our karaoke rooms fit 8 to 16 people. For larger groups, just get in touch and we’ll tailor the programme and time slots.
Plan for at least two hours on site, depending on the pack you choose, it can stretch to a half-day.
From about twelve, the karting track is the usual answer: 1.1 km over three levels, and a junior kart from 1.30 metres is just as fast as an adult kart in the same session. Axe throwing opens up at 14 and interactive darts is advised from 14. The quiz game, the karaoke rooms, Time Mission and the 40+ arcade machines have no age limit at all. Lap times and the Bronze, Silver and Gold licences are saved on each teenager’s own Experience ID, so their level carries over to the next visit.

Yes. Every activity pack includes free arcade credits for children under 14: 12 credits with Discovery, 24 with Epic and 36 with Legendary. They are spent on the 40+ arcade machines, from the Need for Speed and Super Bikes simulators to air hockey, basketball hoops, Alley Bowler lanes and the claw machines.

For the youngest, yes: mini karting is done with an adult from 2 to 3 years old, and Time Mission requires an accompanying adult up to age 13. Beyond that it is up to you. Many parents book the same pack and play along, others wait at the bar, which looks out over the karting track. Every participant in karting, axe throwing and Time Mission needs their own Experience ID, whatever their age.

Yes, you can eat and drink on site. Outside food and drinks aren’t allowed (still water is the only exception).
Booking ahead is always recommended so you get the time slot that suits you best, some sessions (like ‘Start’ karting slots for younger kids) only run at specific times of day, so the more specific your plans, the more it pays to book. That said, you’re never obliged to: walk-ins on a spur-of-the-moment visit are just as welcome.
