Planning birthday parties for kids is always quite a bit of work and stress but having a daughter with a winter birthday makes it a lot more difficult I think. Normally there is so many fun outside things that can be done but in the middle of winter, that is just not a possibility at indoor playground equipment.
This impediment has made me be a little bit more creative when trying to plan birthday parties with my daughter. Last year I think we finally found an option that works really well for us. We found this indoor kids birthday party place that has pretty much everything you could ever want. There is of course loads of different games and rides that are good for a wide range of age kids, ice skating, mini-golf, laser tag, a rock wall, and eXerGame Zone. No matter what the kids at the birthday party are into I think with the indoor playground equipment they can all find something for them. Since there is such a large age range for the activities I also feel that we can probably use this indoor birthday play place for quite a few years to come.
It is also quite reasonably priced. I can bring in my own birthday cake or ice cream along with all of the plates and forks so I can buy them cheaply at the store instead of having to pay a mark up price from the activity center, I can bring in whatever decorations I want so again, I can buy them cheaply and just set them up myself which takes a few minutes then everything is done. The kids get their wristbands and then they can run around for as long as they like. This place also doesn’t have a time limit, which is really nice. I like to let the kids play as long as they want and not have to worry about wrangling all of them out of the birthday party place as soon as our limited hours are up. When they are there the kids can also order whatever soda, juice, pizza, ice cream or other kinds of food from the place so if we decide to eat there we have that possibility. Since we don’t have to buy any of the food we can also plan a lunch at home or just schedule the party at a time where we won’t be responsible for feeding the kids lunch or dinner. Another nice thing is that there is no limit or minimum on how many kids we can invite. Sometimes my daughter wants to only invite a few good friends and some years she wants to invite everyone in the grade. It can be hard sometimes to find a place that can either hold everyone or will allow us to come as a small group. With the indoor birthday play place it doesn’t matter at all how many kids are coming so I don’t have to worry about it at all which is a nice change.
