Birthday Party Ideas in Southwest Chicago Suburbs

For my daughter's 4th birthday we did a gymnastics party in Oak Lawn. It was great and not that expensive for what you get. You get use of the whole gym area and the part room. I think we had 3 party leaders who helped a lot. I wanted something that a wide age range could enjoy and both boys and girls would like. All the kids loved it and were not too happy when it was time to go. You could also do a princess party at this house in Mokena that lets the girls dress up in different outfits and play around. I for get what it is called, but if you google Pricess house in Mokena it comes up. Good luck!!!

You have lots to choose from in the way of party places. I gave my daughter a spa party in Schaumburg for her 5th birthday before I knew about this place http://www.polkadotsandponytails.com/index.shtml right in our own backyard.
If she is a girlie girl try there. There's also Pump it Up in Orland, Jump Zone in Mokena & KCM in Frankfort. If none of these work for you just grab a Chicago Parent mag and you'll find a place.
Good Luck!

Out in the Palos area, I have been to a kid's bowling party--can't remember the name of the location but I think it was in Palos. 5 is a great age for that kind of party! Also isn't there PGN on 95th? They have ticket games and stuff like that. There is always Haunted Trails on Harlem, I had many birthday parties there as a kid =) Maybe there is a Pump it Up out by you? I think there is a Chuckey Cheese in Tinley. Have fun!
