Hi Moms!
My 3 and 1/2 year old girl wants to have a birthday party this year- and I am looking for advice on a location to do so! I DO NOT want to have it at my home as we just had another baby and the planning/cleaning aspect of a birthday party seems to be more than I want to handle at this point.
We would love to find a place that "plans" it out for you- so it includes activities or games or crafts- we, of course, can provide cake, favors, decor, etc...
We have been to Pump it Up at least a 1/2 dozen times, so someplace else would be great! But I have no idea where... Help?
Remlinger Farms is great. Lots of rides including a ponies and a train, and they have a seperate place for the birthday party.
We had our son's fifth birthday at Kids Quest Museum at Facoria Mall. We brought all the food (pizza and cake) and goodie bags (you can get the goodies from them also). You can use the party room for only 90 min, but all the guests have access to the museum all day, plus they all get a 2 for 1 pass to use in the future. We were done at the room about 2:15, but left the museum 2 hours later. The kids just had a lot of fun.

We love this place. Here's the link:

what about a pottery painting place? There is one in crossroads and one in Redmond. Also, there is a place in Seattle that does dress-up themed parties (everything is supplied) and they do a story along with the theme - not sure the name, but I am sure you can google some combination of words (might be called paper tent or paper moon or something like that)...we have done a farm party and that was great - remlinger is expensive but really fun. Build a Bear at Bell square does parties.
Adventure Kids Issaquah is a place you can consider. They'll do everyhting for you from ordering pizza to goodie bags! Take a tour and see if you like it. Have heard nice things about it.

Really, every place that's already been mentioned is good too. It sounds like it would be a winter-ish time event and the kids might like to paint their own cocoa cup at a pottery painting place. My now 3 year old would love that!
Kelsey Creek Farmin Bellevue. My girls and their friends had a great time. They gave the kids a tour of the animals and then they made a craft. I ordered a cake, had some pizza brought to the site and had a few little snacks. After the tour and the craft, we ate pizza and cake and opened gifts. Done. It was virtually stress free. Good luck!
