I was wondering if anybody might know of a good place to have a birthday party for a 6 year old? I reserved a shelter at a nature park with a playground but the ten day forecast is calling for scattered thunderstorms in the area. I was thinking of trying a restaurant as a backup, maybe McDonald's. Whereever it is, I was it to be as cheap as possible. Any suggestions?
A question about a birthday party for my daughter.

For my kids' birthdays we tend to to organise meet-ups at a soft-play centre with some of our friends and their kids, then after a couple of hours play we head back home for tea & birthday cake. It's a lot cheaper than hiring a party room at a softplay centre and the food is better!

I would google "best places for child's birthday party" "your area" and see what pops up.

There is a golf in games place my daughter likes. It may be suitable. I did the Google search (thanks). What is a soft play centre?

Ding, I did that two years ago but it may be another backup. Not official party though but more a meet up.

Is 'softplay' an exclusively British term I was unaware of? Didn't realise...
They're those indoor playgrounds that are usually set up in a warehouse-sized building with ball-pits, slides and padded & netted climbing structures that are several storeys high. The kind of place you can just let 'em run around and be free. -

Darn, that would be perfect, mummatron. I am not sure if we even have one of those around here.

Gary we have them in the US one in my area called Monkey Business. Just google indoor play centers or indoor playgrounds.

If you tell the Chuck E.'s people it's a birthday party, they'll help you plan it out, have Chuck E. stop by the tables, etc.
