The Neverland Adventure Party brings Peter Pan’s world to life on the edge of Newport Beach’s protected lagoon at Once Upon An Island, 118 Agate Ave, Newport Beach, CA. This private, family-focused experience transforms a compact coastal venue into a child-sized Neverland where kids meet Peter Pan, Tink, and mermaids; hunt for treasure, visit the Lost Boys’ Treehouse, and gather at Skull Rock for stories and games. Hosts provide themed décor, a salon makeover, dress-up, crafts, group games, and a tea-party lunch while parents relax in a dedicated lounge.
Set against a small coastal lagoon and rocky shoreline, the site’s defining features are easy to visualize: a shallow lagoon that flirts with low tides, a wooden treehouse prop modeled after the Lost Boys’ camp, and Skull Rock, an outcrop used as a storytelling backdrop. The setting leans into play rather than rugged exploration—soft sand, child-safe paths, and intentional props keep the focus on imaginative play. That combination of place, program, and professional hosting is what makes this offering stand out in Newport Beach’s roster of family activities.
Parties run in three lengths—1.5, 2, or 2.5 hours—with escalating character lineups and guest counts. A shorter event includes two characters and covers essential activities; longer packages add both Peter Pan and multiple mermaids plus extended games. The experience includes private venue use, themed snacks (cheese pizza, fruit, Pirate’s Booty, pink sparkling tea), complete setup and cleanup, and a parents’ lounge. Optional upgrades and extra guests are available for an additional fee; bookings require a deposit.
Practical notes for planners: the program is tailored for young children and families. Hosts handle the entertainment, so caregivers can focus on photos and cake. The venue’s small footprint means bookings sell out for weekend afternoons during warm months—book early to reserve a preferred date and time. Costumes are encouraged but not required; staff handle salon makeovers and dress-up for a polished look in party photos.
Why book it? For families visiting Newport Beach who want a stress-free, story-driven celebration, this production turns a common birthday ritual into a memorable, site-specific adventure. The Neverland Adventure Party isn’t a generic rental; it’s a curated, theatrical day on a coastal parcel that ties playful staging to local shoreline features for a party that feels like a tiny, private performance.
A few final notes on logistics: the staff maintains clear ratios and all activities are built for safety with simple station transitions. Bring a change of clothes for active kids and notify organizers of allergies when you reserve. The short, managed format frees an afternoon for beach time or waterfront dining in Newport Beach. Book early to secure weekend dates and preferred character combinations, and optional upgrades are available too.
