My son (Blaine) will be 2 in December. Last year we had a party at my MIL house. Well, because my husband's parents & my parents are divorced, there were family that didn't show. I'm looking for a place to have his bday party so everyone can make it & not feel awkward at being at an "ex's house". I'm really looking for a place that accommodates kids of all ages. (i.e. 1 1/2 to 10 yr old)
Thanks for your help!! :-)
P.S. we have family all over so I'm flexible on location.
Going Bonkers It's agreat place for kids and adults to play and climb all over. They have lots of Bday parties. It's like a Chuckee Cheese only better. The pizza's better too. goingbonkers.com
Have you considered The Little Gym? We had our 2 yr old's birthday party there and it was a blast - lots of music and activities for the kids and a separate room for the cake and singing. There would not be quite as much for a 10 yr old to do because the bulk of the activities would be geared toward the birthday child, but there are bars and mats and balls and things that make all kids happy!
Frisco Senior Center(Frisco Square) has nice party rooms. You can may be have a Clown/Magician/Balloon Artist entertain the kids.
Pizza Planet has rides and a playland for the bigger kids, and the one at Custer and Park (er?) has a soft play area for toddlers.
pump it up jr. is great for all ages!
What about Peter Piper Pizza in Highland Village/Flowermound. We have been to two parties there and really enjoyed them.
I would check with your local church to see if they have a fellowship hall that you could rent or borrow for the afternoon... We had a lovely time at my sons first birthday at our churches fellowship hall.
set up tables and chairs and have sandwich trays and sides and set up a craft table for the kids that they can decorate plain party hats or place mats... or holiday ornaments.
you will have a great time!
If you need invitations or party favors let me know!

If you attend a church, see if you can sign up to use one of their rooms. We did that with our kids a couple of times. They block off some of the gym with those full height movable walls. There was a playground for the kids to play on. It worked well. If you have a bit of money, you can go to a place like Pump It Up, Chuck E Cheese, or Amazing Jakes (Collin Creek Mall). All of them have things little kids can do. If you are near Plano, there is even a Pump It Up Jr. for the little kids.
I know this is going to sound weird, but...McDonald's with a playland. For like 65.00, you get everything for 10 kids. Invites, thank you's, partyware, cake, goody bags and a hamburger Happy Meal for each kid, plus the kids have something to play on. Who doesn't like McDonald's? (plus it's in a public place with plenty of room for those who feel uncomfortable,,,they can sit across the restaurant!)I did this last year for my daughter and everyone had a great time! (It's up to you if you want to feed the parents or not..)
