I would LOVE to be the creative, crafty, clever mother who can create a party with some fresh ideas, help from Pinterest and baking skills. But, I'm not. So, I'm forced to resort to either having a pizza party at my house for Reece's upcoming birthday, hiring entertainment for said pizza party or doing an "off site" party.
So to hopefully save at least one person the trouble of trolling the Internet and that terrifying DC Urban Moms and Dads blog, I've put together some general information on party options in the DC/MD area.
Please add your experiences or favorites!
Hiring Entertainment:
Ah, how it would be so exciting and fresh if this actually referred to some good ole risque entertainment. And in fact the first two companies have names that made me giggle...but then I quickly recovered as I thought of my son and a dozen 3 year olds.
Some options for those who have the space and desire to host a party at home, but would like some entertainment for the kiddos:
- Squeals on Wheels (Mobile Petting Zoo and Pony Rides for hire)
- Fun Bus (A school bus converted into a mobile gym for playtime right in your driveway)
- Capitol Fire Truck Rentals (Rent a firetruck to come to your home for activities lead by a real fireman)
- Oh Susannah! (music, balloon animals, face painting)
- The Great Zucchini (magic show)
- Bounce House Rentals (rent bounce houses,slides, concession stands, face painting)
- Game Truck (mobile video game/theater)
When you don't have the space at home, or don't have the desire to turn your home into a zoo, here are a few places in the area that you can turn to for parties:
- Variety of Activites - Kidville (art,open gym, music)
- Tumbling - My Gym, Gymboree, Jonah's Treehouse
- Bouncing - Bounce U, Pump It Up
- Bowling - Lucky Strike, Bowlmor
- Art/Painting Pottery - Color Me Mine, All Fired Up
- Ice Skating
- Indoor Trampoline Park
- Cake/Cupcake Decorating Party
- Ballet/Musical Theater Parties
Museum Venues with activities

ReplyDeleteBirthday Parties For Kids DC
Thank you very much for this wonderful post about birthday party venues. People usually seek medium sized inexpensive venues for their birthdays. I also prefer booking some domestic Los Angeles venues instead of hosting parties at home. They provide value for money deals.
