Birthday activity ideas

We've opted to have 2 separate birthday activities for Brinley this year--no daycare kids party.  A small party at my parents house with her godparents, my grandparents, and my brother's family. 

And then something with DH's brother, SIL and Brinely's 2 cousins.  Her cousins are 9 and 12 and she adores them and they're great at playing with her.  So I'm looking for something they can all do together. 

Brinley asked about going to Chuck E Cheese again, but honestly, I can't handle it.  We were at Fun Fore All this weekend for a party and it's just sensory overload for her.  Instead of wearing her out, it makes her bounce off the walls for hours after we get home.

Any ideas?  I was thinking maybe bowling, but I wanted to give her options and let her pick :-)

Re: Birthday activity ideas

  • Is there an indoor mini golf place near you?  That's a popular place for parties near me.  (Monster Golf in Monroeville).   Would her older cousins like to do the Build a Bear thing?

    I'll have to look into the indoor mini golf.  We're in the Robinson area.  I think the 9 year old would still have fun at build a bear, but the 12 year old might be a bit over it.

    http://www.tropicalfunzone.com/ is at the Beaver Valley Mall.  They have indoor mini golf, mini bowling, bumper cars.  Might be a little bit of a drive for you but the older cousins would probably enjoy it too.

    Funny you mention that, because this is where the 9 year old is having her birthday party this weekend.

    Well then, let me know how it is because we are going to a birthday party there in a few weeks.  We've never been there.  We don't go that way very often so I forget it's there.
