2Nd Birthday Ideas - Pittsburgh,PA

I'm not sure where you live, but there is a place in Cranberry that is worth the drive.
It is the Lillyput Playhouse showroom. That is the company that makes the really elaborate play houses for your backyard. They have a showroom and in the back they have a little community set up. It has all the playhouses...a movie theater, Dr. office, grocery store, and a big jungle gym. It is all surrounded by a white picket fence. It is so cute. They have 2 party areas and several differnt packages. The first one that my sister did, she went a out and did the treasure hunt, and the pinata. They were ok, but really not worth the extra money. The kids just want to play anyway and not stop to do the other things. I have to say that it is really clean and the staff is really nice. Definately worth it. I have 2 boys and they like it there too. We went to a classmates party there, and my sister has had 2 parties there after I told her about it. You can go there during ther week and just play (it is closed to the public on the weekends if they have a party scheduled. Which is nice, because you are the only people back there while your party is going on. You would think that I owned it or worked there, but I don't. Just really think it's worth it and something different.
Let me know if you do go there, and what you think.

If you live near Monroeiville you can have it at Sweets from Heaven in the mall. It's near the play area there and lots of fun. They don't charge a set fee, they just ask that in some way you spend $5 per child. Which is really cheap! It's a cute little room in the back and you can bring in whatever you want for food and decor. We just got each child a `$5 gift card, so no party favors, and at the end they got to go with thier parents and get whatever candy they wanted. It was great for a small cute cheap party.
Good Luck!

Have you looked into the Pittsburgh Toy Lending Library? Especially if there will be a lot of kids, this is a great place for a child's party!

Have you thought about the childrens Museum in Pittsburgh? The have everything there and can organize your party,have a public or private room and have activities for her to do and you can bring your own food and cake in. You can call them for costs for non-members or if your a member its $116.00 for up to 8 children and 4 adults. You get a themed party and the kids get a goodie bag with snacks.After the party the kids can stay and play for free at the museum.
Just a thought
