Birthday Parties- everyone always has questions on where to hold them, what is best, prices and opinions: have you been to a party there or hosted a party there.  So we asked our mom-experts to pick out a few party places in their county to share the places they like the best.  This will be done in a 3 part series.

Additional info: We have attended two parties here and my daughter loved it.  It can be a bit of a pain for parents of younger children since they have to be in the water with their kids.  However, it’s a great winter party venue since it’s nice and warm, and how doesn’t want to swim anytime of year?  The only hard part is that they hold the parties only during Family Swim time which can get a little crowded especially during the Winter session of swim lessons, since the family swim time is included with the cost of class.
