Birthday parties · Buellton, CA · Santa Ynez Valley
Birthday parties in the oaks.Two private hours on the Skynet Playground.
The whole net playground is yours, strung through an old oak grove on the mountain. No harness, ages 2 and up, a party tent next door and a free T-shirt for the birthday kid.
The Skynet Playground
A playground in the treetops, and nobody else on it.
- Private
- No harness
- Ages 2+
Skynet is a netted aerial playground built into the oak canopy — tunnels, bridges and bouncy decks that kids bounce, balance, crawl and climb through. There's no harness and no training: shoes on, waiver signed, go.
With the party package, the whole thing is reserved for your guests for two hours, and the picnic area beside it is yours too. Skynet guides stay nearby the whole time so everyone plays it safe, and grown-ups can join in on the nets or watch from the oaks.
What's included
Everything for the party, except the cake.
- Two hours of private access. The entire Skynet Playground is reserved for your party guests.
- The party tent. Private use of our big party tent for your celebration — umbrellas in the winter season.
- A free T-shirt. The guest of honor takes home a commemorative Highline T-shirt.
- Early host access. The host can arrive 20 minutes early to set up, with parking close by for easy setup and breakdown.
- Guides and water. Skynet guides nearby the whole time, and water for everyone.
Pricing
Priced by party size. Everyone 2 and up counts.
Pick the package that fits your guest count — every guest ages 2 and up counts toward it, grown-ups included. If you're close to the top of a size (around 30 guests, say), book the next size up so there's room for everyone. Live prices and open dates are on the booking page.
How booking works
Three steps to party day.

Party day
Arrive up to 20 minutes early to set up and check in at Basecamp. The rest of the balance is due when you arrive.
Built for safety
Engineered for play, inspected every day.
We partnered with Netting Nerds, specialist net builders, to design and build Skynet. Every material is rated to five times its expected load, fire-rated, and inspected daily by our team, and the structure is ACCT certified.
On top of daily checks, Skynet has weekly, monthly and annual third-party inspections. Every guide completes our in-house training, is tested on rescue procedures, and holds current CPR and First Aid certification.
