A Van-Go birthday party is more than just a fun-filled celebration. It’s a meaningful, joyful experience that brings children back to the heart of creative self-expression and play, powered by our vintage VW mobile studio.
Van-Go birthday parties are built around art, play, and connection. We bring the activities to you and guide your little guests through open-ended art experiences, sensory activities, and movement-based play.
Whether indoors or outdoors, the focus stays on making, experimenting, and having fun together, without pressure of screens. Art projects are process-based, so no two children will create the same piece!
Children are invited to engage with the stations at their own pace and interest. Some children will bounce from station to station, while others may want to stay with just one. We never push children to participate, but rather invite them in to engage as they please. Parents and caregivers are welcome to join their child in the activities if desired.
All parties include:
The Signature Van-Go Experience Package: $750
The Wagon Mini Party Package: $550

“Van-Go helped us celebrate my daughter’s fifth birthday and she and her friends had an awesome time. Kelly and her two assistants were so engaging with the kids, they handled set-up and clean-up, and led fun activities. My daughter can’t wait to for another party with Van-Go.”
“Working with the team behind the sensory art and play classes has been an absolute joy! Their organization is top-notch, and it’s clear how much care and intention goes into creating each class.
Most importantly, everything they do is FUN! The sessions are full of creativity, color, and meaningful engagement for kids of all abilities. Now that they’ll be officially *on wheels*, it’s even more exciting — we’re able to reach more families and communities than ever before…”
“We had my son’s 3rd birthday at our house with Van-Go Wagon Co. and it was amazing! So much fun to see the kiddos dive right into the activities, and Rachel & Kelly were awesome to work with. They know EXACTLY what they’re doing when it comes to play, crafts, and entertainment for kids of all ages and it shows. Planning with them was fun and easy, and the van is so cool. A great statement piece!”
Van-Go Wagon Co. is pure magic. We’ve had two experiences with them now — one at a festival and another at an indoor storytime, art, and play event — and both were incredible…”
“The activities are beautifully designed, age-appropriate, and genuinely engaging. I also deeply love their mission to give back to the community by making play accessible to all families. My son was completely captivated by the art and play experiences and didn’t want to leave either time…”
“After attending Van Go Wagon Co’s holiday event this year, we couldn’t be more impressed! Kelly and Rachel were professional and welcoming. Our kids- of varying ages- were entertained with activities and given opportunities to create, pretend, and play. We also got to take pictures with a professional photographer that we can treasure for a lifetime! We can’t wait to participate in more events with such a fun, professional, and creative company!”
