1. Easy Travel and Effortless Parking

Forget the stress of traffic, construction and closed streets. Our venue is located just one minute off of I-94 (Exit 159), making the trip from downtown a quick 20-25 minute drive—often faster than crossing Ann Arbor. Plus, we're located in the Chelsea Village Plaza, which has a massive, free, and easily accessible parking lot. Your guests can park and walk right in, with no circling required.

2. Competitive Pricing and Exceptional Value

Typical party venues in Ann Arbor like corporate-owned bowling alleys, movie chains and trampoline parks can charge $25, $30 or more per child and often limit the guest list. At Chelsea Party Loft, you can host up to 50 guests without a per-person charge. Our budget-friendly hourly pricing means you only pay for the time you need, making it easy to stay on track with your budget. We also include great amenities like a DJ-quality sound system and a 360 Video Booth with every party. This means you could host an epic 3-hour party for as little as $6 per guest, offering the best value for your party budget.
