Hey Ladies! I have no idea where to have my son's 3rd birthday party. I want to do one of the all inclusive places that does some type of entertainment and then a pizza party. I live in South Baltimore and am willing to travel a little ways (<20 miles). I would like to spend under $400. I have looked at Play Wise Kids and Clark Land Farm. Any reviews on those places? Or other suggestions? Thanks in advance!
North Run Farm is great! Here are the specifics:

a coworkers son has a kids gymnasium with tumbling. it is near westminster. there was an article in the baltimore sun.
maybe look in phone book for tumbling gymnastics party area. they do b days parties
My Gym Timonium or Ultimate Playzone
We did Pump it Up the last time. There are a few located thru out Balt and one in Glen burnie-right on Ordnance. Lots of 'adult' friendly inflatables for playing with the kids-great hi energy fun for all. The base price was around $250 then adds on with the additon of food and other stuff- I believe it covered 25 kids(parents don't count but are encouraged to participate). You can bring your own snack/food/cake and THEY clean it ALL up! You cannot put a price on the 'walk away when the fun is done' factor! No fuss no muss!
i've heard that rebounders in Timonium is good, also Hoppin' Tots on falls road. We have been to several parties at ultimate playzone and it was a nice place for young kids. I think it depends on how many kids you have too. This yr my daughter has a very small class and a lot of places are priced for big groups or don't go that small. WE are doing it at Build a Bear and then moving to the food court for pizza and cake. it worked out cheaper than the other places for the number of kids (8-10).
Have you checked out any of the new places that have the moon bounces? They are basically a warehouse room with multiple moon bounces. My son's 4 year old party was there and everyone loved it. It's about 1 hour to 1:30 of play time followed by food. The food is as much as you want it to be. I think they run about $300 per party on weekends. There are a few in Columbia area.
HoppinTots on Falls Rd. They don't have pizza, but there is a pizza place right down the road that will deliver. They do have tables, etc. for the children to sit and eat though. Its a locally owned and operated little kids gym. Miss Anne is wonderful and the kids will have a ball. Not quite as all inclusive as a ChuckECheese, but its good to support local businesses. She'll get you in well under the $400.
