Do your kids have a birthday coming up? Both of my babies have December birthdays, so an indoor party is a must. And if you’re like me, the thought of hosting a children’s party in my home is a little overwhelming! Luckily, there are plenty of great indoor birthday party destinations in the South Hills.
Here are some local venues to help get the party started:
Upper St. Clair Community & Recreation Center – Is your winter baby set on having a pool party? It’s possible, thanks to the USC Rec Center!
Gymboree – You pick your theme – they do the rest! Includes activities led by a Gymboree teacher. For ages 0-5.
The Little Gym – Trained instructors will lead birthday party activities for children ages 1-12.
Snapology – For the block-lovers out there, play time in the Discovery Center is made even better with cake and presents in the party room! **If you’re having an in-home party and looking for entertainment, Snapology will bring the party to you!** (Read how much we love Snapology here.)
Build-a-Bear – No cheap goodie bags here! Party guests make their very own bears to take home at a Build-a-Bear party.
Seesaw Center – A space designed just for the little ones – find a new favorite toy at the Seesaw Center, then celebrate with cake in the party room! (Read about how much we love the Seesaw Center here.)
Gymsport Athletic Center – Trampolines, foam pits, jungle gyms…and if that isn’t enough trained instructors will lead party guests through games and activities appropriate for their age level.
E2 Toys 2 Try – Exclusive use of their indoor playground and a party assistant to lead games and keep the party running smoothly – sounds good to me!
AMF Mt. Lebanon Lanes – Who doesn’t love a bowling party?? Very affordable and fun for everyone!
Ice Castle – Enjoy skating on the ice rink, then warm up in the party room with cake and presents.
Oogles and Googles – A very unique party for those who love to dress up and play pretend!
Fired Up Pottery Studio – Kids who love to create can take home a handmade piece of art from a Fired Up Pottery Studio party.
