  • 20 of the Coolest Locations in Düsseldorf for a Teenage Birthday Party

We shared 50+ of the most amazing locations to host your child’s next birthday party in Düsseldorf before, but now it’s time to showcase some of the coolest locations in Düsseldorf for a teenage birthday party! Are you ready?!

Whether your teenager is turning sweet sixteen or hitting another milestone, celebrating in Düsseldorf is an experience filled with excitement, culture, and endless options (although, I know it doesn’t seem like it just yet – it’s all about getting creative). From trendy hangouts to immersive experiences, we’ve put together a list of the best places to make your teenager’s birthday unforgettable this year!

 

1. Picnic at Rheinpark

When the sun is shining, there’s no better place to gather with friends and celebrate than along the picturesque Rhein. Pack a picnic, bring some music, and hang out with your friends along the Rhine River.

If you like the idea of a picnic, but want a couple of other location suggestions, we’ve got just the list! There are also a couple great places to host a BBQ around Düsseldorf too.

 

2. Trampoline Parks Party

For an energetic birthday party, head to Superfly or Jump Galaxy (we also have Hi-Fly in Hilden which isn’t too far either), where gravity-defying leaps and flips await. Your teenager and their friends can enjoy hours of adrenaline-pumping fun on interconnected trampolines, foam pits, and obstacle courses.

 

3. Climb the spiderwebs at K21 (Closed)

There’s a reason we listed K21 as one of the top Instagram spots in the city! Artist Tomás Saraceno created a huge spatial installation titled “in orbit” which floats 25 meters above the K21 foyer. Made up of almost transparent steel nets that are stretched in three levels under the enormous glass dome, this 2,500-square-meter network structure is both incredible and adventurous at the same time. What would your teenager say about a daring birthday party like this?

 

4. Escape Room Adventure Parties

If your teenager enjoys puzzles and thrills, an escape room adventure could be just the ticket. Düsseldorf offers a variety of escape room experiences that challenge participants to solve puzzles, unlock mysteries, and work together as a team to “escape” within a set time. You can check out rooms like TeamEscape, ExitDoors, QUEXIT, MISSION60MINUTES, and one of our favorites… The Code Agency. Most of these can be found in the city center close to the main train station.

 

5. Laser Tag Party

For an action-packed birthday celebration, visit one of Düsseldorf’s LaserTag arenas. Equipped with high-tech laser tag gear, your teenager and their friends can engage in thrilling battles and strategy games. It’s a futuristic adventure that’s sure to get their adrenaline pumping. Take your pick! You’ve got LaserTag Evolution in Bilk or LaserZone at Cosmo Sports in Gerresheim.

 

6. Classic Cinema Experience

Movie theatres aren’t just for rainy days (although this idea is included in our “25 of the best things to do on a rainy day in Düsseldorf” 🙈. Enjoy a classic cinema experience at one of Düsseldorf’s movie theaters. Many cinemas in the city offer special birthday packages, including private screenings or VIP treatment with popcorn and drinks. Cinestar also offers many English screenings too!

 

7. Mini Golf Party

Why not have a little fun and friendly competition? Glow in the dark mini golf? Sure! You’ve got Glowing Rooms in Flingern, GlowZone in Gerresheim, or a few outdoor ones you could try as well!

 

8. Bowling Party

Enjoy some friendly competition with a game of bowling in Düsseldorf. There are tons of different locations to choose from. The lively atmosphere and neon lights make it a great venue for any birthday party. Cosmo Sports tends to be the location of choice due to its awesome birthday party packages.

 

9. Stand-Up Paddleboarding Party 

Head to Unterbachersee and try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It’s a fantastic way to enjoy the water and get some exercise while celebrating (that is if your teenager has a summer birthday).

 

10. Wakeboarding Party

Okay, this one is not directly in Düsseldorf, but it’s not far off and it’s TOTALLY worth it! Langenfeld has one of the coolest wakeboarding tracks and it’s not only open in the summer but almost year-round. They also have a cocktail area, restaurant and snack bar on site.

 

11. High Ropes Climbing Park (Hochseilgarten) Party

This one made our list of the “15 Wildest Adventures You Didn’t Know You Could Experience in Düsseldorf“. Did you know that there is so much to see and do at Unterbachersee? The Hochseilgarten Düsseldorf is an exhilarating adventure park nestled along Unterbachersee. This high ropes course offers an exciting and challenging experience for individuals, groups, and families alike. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or simply seeking an adrenaline rush, Hochseilgarten Düsseldorf promises an unforgettable outdoor adventure in the heart of the city.

 

12. Rock Climbing Party

If your teenager is into getting their heart rate pumping and challenging their friends, then a rock climbing birthday might be just the thing. The good news is that you’ve got a ton of different locations to choose from. Superblock in Oberbilk, Monkeyspot in Heerdt, MOVE Kletterhalle in Grafenberg, Einstein in Lierenfeld, and Halle Mensch in Lierenfeld. Take your pick!

 

13. Virtual Reality Party

For a futuristic birthday experience, 7th Space offers more than 30 different virtual reality (VR) games and is open for event bookings including birthdays, team building, bachelorette/bachelor parties, etc. You can also take part in virtual reality escape games at The Code Agency as well!

 

14. Creative Classes

Does your teenager love cooking? Painting? Pottery? Brush letting? Why not enroll in a one-day creative class for them and their friends? We have a list of some of the top creative classes in the city! Some of our favorites include brush lettering, hand-lettering & calligraphy at SCHRIFTSCHATZ and sewing parties at Creamberry.

 

15. Indoor Go-Karting Party

Take the celebration to a go-kart track like RS-Speedworld in Kaarst and let the teenagers race against each other for an adrenaline-packed birthday party.

 

16. Ice Skating Party

In the winter months, you might consider booking a party at one of Düsseldorf’s ice skating rinks like the exciting DEG-Winterwelt that pops up along the Königsallee during the Christmas market season… but we also have indoor rinks that you may have forgotten about! What about Eisstadion Brehmstrasse? Or the Düsseldorfer Eissporthalle in Benrath?

 

17. Indoor Skiing Party 

Experience the thrill of indoor skiing at Dusseldorf’s renowned Alpenpark Neuss (okay, it’s in Neuss… but not that far away), offering an exciting leisure activity right in the heart of West Germany. While the alpine slopes are distant, the chance to hit the slopes isn’t lost. Nor is your teenager’s dreams of having a winter birthday in the summer!

 

18. Bubble Ball Party

Get ready for a thrilling game of Bubble Ball soccer at Cosmo Sports! Whether you want to gather with friends for a fun match, organize a team event, or plan an unforgettable teenage birthday party, Cosmo Sports has you covered (in more ways than just bubble ball). They even offer some pretty great birthday packages for children and teenagers which include soft drinks, party pizzas, and up to 12 kids on the field!

 

19. Visit an Instagram Museum (Closed)

A visit to an Instagram museum might just be exactly what your teenager wants for their birthday party ~ especially if Instagram is all they seem to be into nowadays. Lucky for you, the Cali Dreams Instagram museum is here in Düsseldorf and a lot of fun for people of all ages. With a vast expanse of 1,500 square meters and a collection of 29 captivating ‘dream rooms,’ your day will be brimming with opportunities to capture Instagram-worthy photos.

 

20. Take them to an arcade!

The legendary arcade party… failproof! I have to be honest though, there aren’t many arcades that compare to the ones I had back in North America, Cosmo Sports gaming zone is a close second.

 

Whether you choose, celebrating a teenager’s birthday in Düsseldorf is bound to create lasting memories. 😜 This city offers a diverse range of experiences that cater to every interest and personality. So, go ahead, now you can start planning! Happy birthday festivities!

👋 Hey, I’m Jenna!

The voice behind Life in Düsseldorf

I’m a German Canadian who moved to Düsseldorf over a decade ago, and like many of you, I had a million questions when I arrived. From trying to figure out how health insurance works in Germany to wondering where the best bakery is (spoiler: it’s Bülle 🍞), I’ve been through it all.

So I created Life in Düsseldorf to help make your transition smoother — whether you’re moving to Germany, already living here, or just curious about life abroad. My mission? To make you feel a little less overwhelmed and a lot more at home.
