Places and ideas for children’s birthday parties

While most children’s birthday parties are held at home, you may want to consider an off-site location. For starters, you will not have to worry about the current state of order and order in your house. Additionally, using the community’s recreational and cultural resources will broaden your child’s horizons and present some wonderful experiences.

Ask your child what he would like. Usually the theme of the party will reflect your interests, hobbies, or sports.

Here are some ideas to boost your creativity.

If your child loves sharks, what better place to be than the local aquarium where you can see sharks up close and personal. Then there’s the zoo, if you love elephants and want a jungle theme. Or maybe the local natural history museum.

Local history museums can make history a reality.

The local art museum is a great venue for the budding artist, a concert for the budding musician, the planetarium for the budding astronomer … you get the idea. The best part is that many of these institutions have activities designed especially for children. Ask.

Entire institutions, like the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia, are designed for children.

Other interesting ideas:

Have a pottery party:

Facilities have been opened that allow you to paint on ceramic. When you’re done, the staff will place it in an oven for you. Most will host parties and many have special birthday party packages for kids.

A day of beauty:

Our local newspaper recently ran an article about the popularity of makeovers as a party idea for tweens. Mom makes arrangements with a local beauty school or salon for the group to come in for an afternoon, where they take care of the place.

The roller skating rinks have packages where you can rent the use of a private room for an hour to enjoy snacks and cakes. Then you are free to enjoy the installation. Please note that the tracks are very strict in terms of scheduling.

Ice skaters can enjoy a trip to the ice rink. Facilities like Chuck and cheese cater to toddler birthday parties. A group of girls can enjoy lunch at a neighborhood Chinese restaurant.

Little Ladies Tea Party:

Many hotels will host teas. And they are happy to accommodate the children. Kids can dress up and be princesses for a day. Many invite their favorite stuffed animals to the festivities and can receive important lessons in etiquette.

In the summer, you may want to use your backyard for your children’s birthday party. But if you don’t have a large patio or don’t want the event to take place there, visit neighborhood parks and playgrounds. Many will allow you to reserve a pavilion.

Where else can you look for ideas?

Try the welcome center or the local visitor of your city or town. Another source is the local library, especially the children’s department. These days, the Internet is an invaluable resource. Local newspapers and magazines often have sections featuring local events and activities. Last but not least, there is always word of mouth.

Enjoy.
