1 / 3The Gaga Center
📍 Manhattan, NY
The only place to play gaga ball in Manhattan, featuring octagonal pits for this fast-paced dodgeball-style game. Popular for birthday parties with coaching staff and party packages.
It’s the second time we’ve celebrated a birthday at Gaga Center. The first was for our eldest daughter’s 12th birthday, and now for our youngest daughter’s 9th. The experience couldn’t have been better. The entire team is extremely well-trained and organized, and the party runs perfectly. Everyone had an amazing time. The feedback from parents was that it was the best party their kids had ever attended. Marcy is impeccable—she responds to all emails promptly and is always willing to help. She went above and beyond to promote us the best experience of all. We’ve celebrated at several places in Manhattan, but without a doubt, Gaga Center is my number one recommendation for parties for all ages!

“I cannot say enough good things about The Gaga Center! I booked a birthday party for my soon-to-be 7 year old son at The Gaga Center, sight unseen (which made me nervous). Marcy, one of the owners, calmed my nerves immediately, she was so nice and helpful. Cut to the party itself (!) it was a HUGE success! The staff handled everything — including 33 extremely excited seven years olds — and it all went super smoothly and everyone — grown-ups (who at the end also got to play) included — had such a blast!! It was the talk of my son’s class even the next day at school. Do not hesitate booking your child’s birthday party here, you will not regret it!”

“Just wanted to say thank you for a great party. Your team is amazing and they know how to run a party like a well oiled machine. They were awesome with set up, problem solving (when the platter arrived smashed), running the games, serving, and ending the party on time without everyone feeling rushed. You have a great group there. The kids really enjoyed the silent disco add on …especially the kids who got out of the game pretty early. They commented that it gave them something fun to do instead of just watching. It was a hit!”

“We have now have held two birthday parties at The Gaga Center and have been incredibly happy. Marcy and her team were amazing! They responded to all our emails promptly and made sure everything ran smoothly on party day. The staff was great with all the kids and the Glow add-on was a nice touch that created a unique experience for the kids. All the kids had a great time! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend holding a birthday party at The Gaga Center.”
