In Ward Hill - kind of the other side of the 125 connector from Jump on In, is a place called Checkered Flag Racing - they have little go Kart for little kids and the parties are really, really fun. Of course it's been a few years since my daughter's party - things may have changed - but it was great back then. Depends on the personality of your daughter, but if she's a bit outgoing and you think she'd like to drive a little tiny gokart, I would go check it out. They are very good about giving you a tour beforehand and letting you see what it is all about. They'd probably let your daughter do a test ride and you could see if you think it would be good. Jump on In is also fun, as you stated - but be sure to warn kids - especially girls - to wear pants or long shorts - we had some poor little girls get the most horrible friction burns on their legs and bottoms. There of course is also the aMAZEment center at Cedardale. The Y also does birthday parties. Also - 5 years old is a perfect time for a princess party, if she's into that. I can't recall the company, but there was one where they would come to your house to do a party and they had all the activities,etc. figure out - I bet you could google - the woman worked in the Haverhill area and my daughter went to one party - it was really fun. Also - I think Salon 1712 in downtown Haverhill does hair/ nail parties for girls, but I don't know all the details. Good luck!
