Tables, arcade games and wall TVs in the Cookie Dough Creations game room

Okay, kids. We hear you.

We know your parents can be a LOT sometimes.

The questions. The reminders. The “Did you brush your teeth?” The “Where are your shoes?” The “Don’t forget your water bottle!”

Enough already.

It’s time to send your parents out for the night.

Drop Off at the Dough is a Friday night drop-off event for kids ages 6 to 12, packed with games, activities, ice cream and a movie on our two giant TVs.

Parents get a few uninterrupted hours. Kids get three hours of fun.

We’d call that a win-win.

Friday Night Fun in Downtown Naperville

Pinball machines, arcade games and TVs in the Cookie Dough Creations game room

  • Fridays | 6 to 9 PM
  • Ages 6 to 12
  • $35 per child

Our retro arcade turned kid cave becomes a great place to meet new friends, enjoy a sweet treat, and watch a movie on our GIANT TVs.

Drop the kids off at Cookie Dough Creations and enjoy a few hours to yourself while we keep them entertained.

We’ll start the evening with games and activities so everyone can settle in and get to know each other. Then comes ice cream, because obviously.

Kids can play, color, dance, hang out with friends and enjoy our games before we settle in for a movie on our two giant TVs, complete with popcorn.

What Does the Night Look Like?

6:00 PM Welcome & Get to Know Each Other

We’ll kick off the evening with name tags and give everyone a chance to settle in and meet the group.

6:30 PM Bingo

Time to play! We’ll get everyone together for a round of Bingo before moving into the rest of the night’s activities. Bingo winners get a prize!

7:00 PM ICE CREAM!

It’s time for something sweet. Kids can enjoy ice cream while choosing from coloring, dancing, games and other activities.

7:30 PM Movie Time

Grab some popcorn, find a comfy spot and settle in for a movie on our two giant TVs.

9:00 PM Parent Pick-Up

Parents return rested. Kids return sugared. Everyone goes home happy.

Please pick up by 9 PM. Pickups after 9 PM have a $10 late fee.

Pajamas? Absolutely.

This isn’t a fancy night out.

Come comfy.

Pajamas? Absolutely.

Want to bring a friend? Of course.

Prefer coloring over dancing and games? We’ve got you.

Drop Off at the Dough is designed to give kids different ways to enjoy the evening. Some kids want to play every game they can find. Others would rather color, eat ice cream and get comfortable for the movie.

Both are perfectly acceptable Friday-night strategies.

Parents, This Part Is for You

Looking for a Friday night kids activity in Naperville that also gives you a few hours to yourself?

Drop Off at the Dough gives parents three hours to enjoy downtown Naperville while the kids are busy having their own night out.

Go to dinner. Run errands without hearing “Can we go home yet?” Take a walk downtown. Grab a drink. Have a date night. Or simply enjoy a few hours of uninterrupted grown-up time nearby.

We’ll handle the entertainment.

A Kids’ Night Out They’ll Actually Want to Attend

Drop Off at the Dough combines some of kids’ favorite things in one Friday night event:

Friends. Games. Ice cream. Activities. Popcorn. Movies.

Each child also receives 10 complimentary game coins, so there’s plenty to do before movie time begins.

It’s a fun option for families looking for kids’ activities, Friday night events and unique things to do for children in the Naperville area.

Kids, you’ve earned yourself a break.

Tell Mom and Dad you’ve made plans for Friday night.
