Best Birthday Party Place

Pump It Up

When kids remember their birthday parties, they just remember the fun. They don't remember how hard their parents worked to plan the party, or how long it took to clean up afterward. This place takes care of all of that: All you have to do is tell everyone to wear good socks. Party packages are available with pizza and refreshments. Great photo opportunities abound as the child of honor sits on the cartoon-y birthday throne. Grown-ups can challenge the kids to races through the inflatable obstacle courses. The attentive staff enforces some basic ground rules for safety's sake. It is guaranteed: The kids will go bananas.
