Hello friends!
We are Ksenia & Ksenia, from Bellevue and this is not a typo: not only do we share one name and one big love for kids, parties and making new friends, but we also excel at a variety of different skills!
Our first Ksenia has master’s degree in History and Education and has been involved in numerous educational projects for kids, such as early learning, speech development and art classes. She has two children, the oldest one is highly enthusiastic about being a princess on kids’ parties. She’s also a great cook for her age.
The youngest is passionate about parties and is always excited to be mom’s helper when planning new kids’ events. She’s also really proud to say that mom knows all about other countries. Both girls practice figure skating and love maths. They have a loving dad whom they love spending time with and who always supports Ksenia’s business.
Ksenia number two has a master’s degree in Economics and she used to work in an insurance company. She has also been conducting curious food experiments in the kitchen since her early childhood! Back in the years when she was a student, her first jobs were cake decorator at a supermarket and pastry chef at a golf club restaurant. Currently she hosts cooking workshops for adults, where she constantly awakens her curiosity by exploring new recipes and kitchen gadgets. Ksenia’s passion for the culinary arts is so strong that you can easily catch her baking muffins for a weekday breakfast with her three children. The eldest child is keen on all kinds of sports such as swimming and mountain skiing; the younger ones are involved in a variety of classes on Eastside- art, cooking, ballet, figure skating and skiing. Their artistic side was naturally born when they were toddlers and joined mom in every class and camp she organized. For her, organizing her children’s birthday parties was a paramount for today’s business. Her caring husband and mentoring dad to the kids has always been by her side and they love to spend time together as a family.
Now, how did we come up with Popcorn- Play, Party & Cook?
We first met at our kids’ math classes and back in April 2017 on a warm, sunny day, we met up in Seattle and decided to share our love for kids, making crafts, cooking and organizing kids’ parties: that’s how Popcorn- Play, Party & Cook was born!
At the beginning, we started off teaching “Mommy and Me” cooking classes in Bellevue, Seattle Eastside. After a while, we started hosting camps for school-aged kids and their younger siblings; we created a cooking school, where we do cooking from scratch, share recipes and promote healthy eating habits; and we started organizing custom designed birthday parties for kids aged 3 to 13. After so much hard work and passion, we had our own venue in the center of Bellevue by December 2019! Apart from us, our lovely team is also made up of wonderful site decorators and an awesome kid-friendly photographer.
If you’re looking for club birthday parties in Bellevue for your kids, looking for new activities and fun ideas to keep your child entertained during school holidays, or have a child eager to learn how to cook and join a nutrition club, reach us – we’ll be more than happy to welcome you in our studio in Bellevue!
The ladies who run this organization are so full of creativity, enthusiasm, and endless energy! They make every event a blast for kids and they are so completely organized, it’s a joy for parents, too!

Олеся Богатырь2023-09-07Super place. The teachers are wonderful. My son and I love Pirok. He started going there at 2 and a half years old. Before that, he didn't even speak. If you're looking for a mix of preschool and daycare, then this is the place for you. Children play and learn new things. This year we continued to go there and my son loves it. Thank you so much for your warmth and love for our children.
anshika malik2023-08-21We celebrated our son’s 5th birthday at Popcorn: Play n Cook. We had a big group with 14 kids and 15 adults. Everyone had a blast. Tina was very cooperative from the get go and worked with us. The party room is pretty spacious that even with 30 people in the room, it wasn’t crowded. The room was decorated as per our requirements. Tina was very patient with the kids and was able to engage them throughout. I had requested pass the parcel game because my son loves it, so Tina made sure to organize it for him. Really appreciate Popcorn and Tina for making it a memorable experience for us.
Oxana Chetrari2023-08-19Absolutely love this place! Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. My son was excited by cooking class and crafts. Friendly personal. Highly recommend!
amelia wang2023-08-17No one answered the call so I came to the place to ask birthday party event questions. The front desk is terrible, just yelling me through the window and said six six six. I did not even got the chance to say anything. The door get locked and she just left
Divya Gautam2023-05-23"We had an absolutely fantastic experience hosting our daughter's 2nd birthday at the Popcorn Party Place! Their staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. From helping us plan the perfect party, to being excellent event coordinators on the day of, they truly made the whole process easy and stress-free. The location was clean, bright and fun, making it perfect for a children's party. They had a ton of creative and imaginative play areas, which the kids loved exploring and playing in. Overall, we had a blast and our daughter had the time of her life. We highly recommend the Popcorn Party Place for any parent looking for a unique and exciting place to host a children's birthday party."
shilpa makineni2023-03-13Birthday party for my 7yr old here was perfect. I just showed up and enjoyed watching the kids make donuts and candles which made great party favors. Every child felt included and there was plenty of space for the 10 kids in our party. The place was very clean and the staff was very friendly and great with kids. Ksenia was good with communicating ideas and incorporating my child's preferences when picking the activities. The party organizers were very efficient with setup and cleanup.
Albert Samigullin2023-02-16This is a really good place for kids to do different sorts of activities. My child is taking drawing and theater classes here from the highly-skilled and experienced teachers Lota and Dasha who really love working with kids. What I really like is there is no time for kids to be bored here, they are actively involved in the learning process. After going there for 3-4 months, communicating with other people for my child is not a problem anymore, and she also makes really good drawings. Additionally, this is the place where you can celebrate your kid's birthday. Just decide on your birthday theme/style, and they'll create appropriate contests/challenges/performances. We celebrated our child's birthday here and that was one of the best birthday parties we had.
