2Nd Birthday Party Ideas - South Suburbs of Chicago

There is a place called Jump Central in St. John Indiana depending on where in the south suburbs you live. St. John is just over the border into Indiana. I live in Dyer and its about 13 minutes from my house. It is like Pump it up in Orland. Its a private party that lasts 2 hours if its 15 kids or more. 1 hour and 15 minutes of jumping in inflatable jumps and 45 minutes in a party room with party assistants that do everything for you so you can enjoy all your guests that will be there. Its really clean and colorful. My kids love it there. The staff is nice and friendly with the kids. Check out their website at jumpcentralparty.com. You can't go wrong. Adults can jump with the children also. What ever you choose I'm sure it will be a blast.

For my daughter's 2nd birthday we went to GymQuest. They have lots of different locations. My main thing when I look for places is how much per kid it is because we always end up with 20-25 kids coming (big family) So GymQuest had it the same price with Up to 25 kids and we had sooooooo much fun! Even the adults had a great time with the trampolines and swinging ropes and foam pits!!! It was about $275 w/ pizza and they let u bring ur own food and drinks if you want to for any adults that have to come (the pizza is optional)and you get a private room to have your presents and cake in for later. There is a viewing area for any adults that don't want to come down to play and then you also have the whole gym room to your own party, so there aren't any random people or kids running around either. It was really nice!

You can try the Hammil House at Brookfield Zoo also Lincoln Park might also have the same kind of place. The museum of Science and Industry.

We have decided to do pump it up in orland park for C.J's 2nd birthday 2 40 minute play times and 40 minutes in the party room

We did my niece's 2nd birthday at Pump It Up in Orland. It worked well because we had a wide range of ages and they all had a blast. (Adults can join in too, so your little one doesn't have to try to explore all on her own...my niece had a blast with her "Grumpa" and her uncles. :-)
