If you don’t have this particular company somewhere around you there are bound to be facilities like them that will allow birthday parties for a fee.

In the summer time, you really can’t go wrong with having a party at your local swimming pool.

These parks offer quite a few wading pools that are better suited for younger children.

Just heading to a city park that is equipped with lots of great playground equipment can make a great party. What you really have to keep in mind when you are planning any get together is that kids this young don’t have a long attention span and generally have a ton of energy.

Plan the games and parties to not have a whole lot of detailed instructions, and make sure none of them will take a long time to play. Keep the action moving as much as possible, until everyone sits down for the cake.
