Are you looking for something different for your child’s next birthday party? Hate worrying about getting your house ready for guests and the clean up after? And don’t get me wrong, bouncy houses can be fun but after the 10th party at the same place, you may be looking for something new and fun and…educational?? Yes, educational! There are plenty of alternative options for birthday parties in the area, they’re just not well advertised or utilized.
