After-Party Thoughts

I really feel like three or four is the perfect age for this party option. The children were still small enough to ride all the smaller rides but big enough to enjoy everything else as well. This was by far the easiest birthday party I’ve ever done. There was a pizza place right next door so picking that up was a breeze and there was really nothing I had to think about. We didn’t need any props or anything. The kids just ran all around and there was plenty of space and lots for them to do. The volunteers were great too. I’d highly recommend this as an option for anyone who wants to do a large party. – Lisa in Madison, AL
