3 Places to Have an Awesome Birthday Party for Your Kids Without Breaking the Bank

Does your kid deserve a break? Stress can even take a toll on kids from time to time. Why not treat your little one to a birthday party they’re going to love? The only problem is birthday parties are expensive. Don’t worry…there are at least three places in Southern California that can satisfy kids of all ages without dipping into your rent money.

1.Throw a skating Party

You can spend less than $175 to entertain up to 12 guests at a skating party like Holiday Skate Center in southern California. Skating parties give your crowd of youngsters good exercise, a place to expend all that extra energy and plenty of space to show off. Great for older teens, as well as elementary school aged children

2. Laser Tag Party

If your group of troublemakers is younger or a bit more sensitive to falls, then play it safe by sending them to war. Just kidding…but laser tag feels like an interactive war game and yet is very safe. Provided they’re not seizure prone, they will enjoy the thrill of pitch black lighting contrasted with glowing weapons, helmets and décor. The best ranges have over 5,000 feet of exploring space. It’s safer than paintball and yet just as much fun. Places like Golfland give you laser tag, plus golfing, and arcade games.

3.Bouncy Castles

For younger and athletic kids full of energy, then maybe renting bounce houses in your own backyard is the way to go. San Diego Kids Party Rentals has inflatable castles, slides, tents, carnival games, dunk tanks, and even electronics like a mechanical bull. This option is for a larger group of children and is scalable, so if your son or daughter has a ton of friends this could be the best option. If you have limited funds you can get just a few items. Best of all, you can bring the fun to you rather than having to go across town and face traffic. You can also rent equipment for parties like tables, food machines, tents for sleepovers, cake stands and even special effects like fog makers if you want to throw an awesome Halloween-esque birthday party re-imagined by Tim Burton.

Southern California is all about entertainment. And since these little tykes are so close to Hollywood they expect the best! A little imagination and novelty goes a long way. For the best results, make sure your birthday theme is interactive, one where children can actively participate and enjoy a variety of attractions. Make sure there are also bonding opportunities with their friends since friendship is the give of youth. Many of these friendships could last a lifetime so by all means let them enjoy the memories. Make this year one to remember!
