I am guessing nothing similar nearby?</p> <p>Otherwise I agree on low structure lots of room for spirited kids would be:<br /> -park/playground<br /> -Peter piper pizza or similar—lots of running around, freedom, not a lot of direction<br /> -children’s museum/play place? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-types-of-parties-for-spirited-kids#post-2831025 Wed, 27 Jun 2018 20:15:21 +0000 YogiRunner 2831025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do your kids go to MyGym? He’s only 2, but we had my kiddo’s party there and he had a blast, they were going nonstop - climbing, sliding, running, games. And the staff are great, you barely have to do anything (they’ll even order you pizza!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-types-of-parties-for-spirited-kids#post-2831020 Wed, 27 Jun 2018 19:21:19 +0000 Pollywog 2831020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Playground? The best parties I've seen for high energy kids is parents renting out a park pavilion and letting the kids play for a few hours. 9-11 seems to be the popular time frame, with parents serving mini bagels and fruit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-types-of-parties-for-spirited-kids#post-2831017 Wed, 27 Jun 2018 18:52:28 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2831017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We’ve done bowling for my sons 3rd and 4th. It’s bowling/mini putt/unlimited arcade and the kids can just go wild. They love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-types-of-parties-for-spirited-kids#post-2830996 Wed, 27 Jun 2018 16:21:38 +0000 gotkimchi 2830996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went roller skating for a 5yo bday and the kids LOVED it. Black lights music the whole deal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-types-of-parties-for-spirited-kids#post-2830994 Wed, 27 Jun 2018 16:08:09 +0000 shabang 2830994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Places with lots of room to run outside - park district, zoo. Or another activity-based birthday - gymnastics place (maybe not if trampolines are involved), gym facility where you could rent a bounce house or have different sport-type activities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-types-of-parties-for-spirited-kids#post-2830993 Wed, 27 Jun 2018 16:04:56 +0000 catgirl 2830993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have any roller skating rinks? Or a laser tag place? Those seem a bit more high energy to me. </p> <p>Oh, I know in my hometown there are two rock climbing gyms that hold kid parties. But depending on the number of kids they have to wait a bit to take turns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-types-of-parties-for-spirited-kids#post-2830992 Wed, 27 Jun 2018 15:58:28 +0000 Foodnerd81 2830992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were planning to have my daughters 5th bday party at an indoor bounce house and slide place- she was so excited- but the place just announced they are closing. So starting over... </p> <p>My almost 5 year old is very spirited- lots of energy, strong willed, and I’m often having to reprimand her to behave appropriately. For her birthday, I want her to be able to run free and not limit her fun (of course she can’t push people or whatever, but being loud and rambunctious). </p> <p>What have been your favorite types of parties like that? We’ve been to painting parties which are fun but it’s hard for her to sit still when she’s so excited. No trampolines or swimming because they both make me nervous! </p>
