Dive in to a Pool Party

Rent out the pool at a local rec center for a day full of cannonballs and Marco Polo. Or throw a birthday bonanza at an indoor waterpark, complete with thrilling rides and slides.
Indoor Pools & Waterparks:
Party Like a Sports Star
Fitness is fun at NEPA’s kid-oriented gyms and sports centers. These venues are perfect for little ones who are always on the move. They’ll burn off that extra energy jumping, climbing and somersaulting over obstacles or playing their favorite sports with a team of friends. It’s like the most epic recess ever.
Sports & Recreation Centers:
Hit the Bowling Lanes
Maybe it’s the silly shoes or the thrill of scoring a strike, but bowling parties are always a classic. Even the adults might be tempted to get a lane and test their skills.
And as an added bonus, most bowling alleys have snack bars on site, which means that it’s easier than ever to feed a crowd.
Bowling Alleys:
Skate the Night Away
It doesn’t matter if you’re totally clumsy. In fact, trying to stay on your feet is half the fun at a skating party.
Go retro and head to the roller rink, where the kids can lace up their skates and glide under the disco lights. The local ice rinks are another great option, where the kids will have hours of frosty fun.
