Hi C.,
My name is M. and I am the owner of Have A Bashery, a unique children's party business that specializes in creating special memories for children through spectacular celebrations. We can come to your home or, if you prefer, a park district room, restaurant, community center, or do I have some space suggestions in the areas you mentioned. We conduct theme parties and I think my favorites for 6 year old boys are: Fluff-N-stuff Parties (boys like the dinosaurs), Olympics, Construction, and Pirate Parties. Please check out my website www.haveabashery.com to see options - maybe we can help!
Thanks,
M. Fortnow

Mad Science does a great Birthday party. They can come to your home or you can rent a room. Gary Cantor does an awesome magic show Birthday party. We have also done Pump It Up in Vernon Hills. Six year old boys love it there! Good luck!

MY GYM in Buffalo Grove. www.gotomygym.com. Always awesome! I did my son's last 4 parties there. He is turning 7 in February and that's the only place he insists on, so MY GYM it is! He liked Pump-it-Up when he was invited to someone else's party, but the kids get bored after the first 20-30 minutes.

It's not the cheapest place in town, so if that's what you are looking for - Pump-It-Up will probably save you $20-40 but you get what you pay for.

Oh, and we tip. Usually $20-30. It is never required, so if you feel they did an awesome job, tips are always appreciated.

Good luck!

I work for the Glenview Park District at a nature center called The Grove. We have a variety of unique birthday parties. Kids can touch a turtle or a snake, find and identify insects, pretend to be a Native American or discover dinosaurs. Moms love it because our parties are fun and educational (and affordable). The website is www.thegroveglenview.org or you can call ###-###-#### to talk to a human! Sorry about the slow response, I was out of town.
Good luck!
