Birthday Party: Choosing A Location
Is your birthday coming up? Well, if so, then it's time to start planning your party! The birthday party formula is simple: friends, games, cake, presents. Instead of hosting your party at your home this year, why not have a destination birthday party? Think of the time it will save on clean up. Now, that's a gift that everyone wants, especially Mom!
Before you decide on where to have your party, you should make sure that you have selected your party's theme. Do you want to have a Spiderman or Batman birthday, a Hannah Montana or rock star birthday, a Cinderella princess or Jack Sparrow pirate birthday, or a Star Wars birthday?

Once you have a theme, you are ready to start researching. Make your birthday party awesome and memorable with our great ideas below and your party will be the one everyone will remember!
For the Budding Artist or Scientist
Are you a budding scientist, astronaut or clean energy aficionado? Check out your local art, science, children's discovery or air and space museums. Most museums offer a birthday party package that includes admission, a private tour with a guide or tailored activity, cake and even custom made goody bags. Or, if you are looking for something more adventurous, have a sleepover at a zoo or museum. Whether your and your friends want to invent the next solar powered car, create a group masterpiece, or wake up with the animals, this is the bet for you.
