A supervised 2-hour play-and-cooking session where young children explore pretend-play spaces and assemble their own personal pizzas.
Tiny Town, Big Taste: Mini Chefs Take Over the Pizza Kitchen.
Make Your Own Pizza Party & Play turns children into mini chefs for a lively, hands-on two-hour session of imaginative play and pizza making. Little ones move through a tiny-town play area—shopping in a market, running a café, even a pretend drive-through—before designing individual pizzas that are baked fresh for them to enjoy, while parents relax nearby.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Imaginative Tiny Town
Children spend the first portion of the two-hour event exploring a purpose-built pretend-play town: market stalls, a café and a drive-through that encourage creative role play and social interaction.
Hands-On Pizza Making
Each child receives their own dough, sauce, cheese and toppings to design a personal pizza, which the staff bake fresh so participants can eat their creations onsite.
Relaxed Experience for Caregivers
While kids play and cook, parents can relax nearby with a drink in the on-site café; guests may also purchase or pre-purchase add-ons and Book Fair Bucks for in-store purchases.

What the Session Feels Like
The rhythm is playful and practical: a guided free-play segment in an imaginative mini-town followed by a structured pizza-making session. Children channel creativity into role play and culinary choices, then watch their personal pizzas go into the oven and return warm and ready to eat—an engine of fun, sensory learning and a tangible reward at the finish.
