Planning a birthday party for a child can be stressful. You have to decide where to have it, send out invitations, get decorations, select refreshments, and put together goodie bags. So many times the same birthday party venues in and around Kansas City, Missouri, are used over and over. But choosing a unique location can make your child's party memorable. Finding a new birthday party place that will excite kids can take a lot of research. Fortunately, there are several options in the Kansas City, Missouri area.
Air Zone
If you are looking for inflatable fun, Air Zone has it. It offers both "open play birthday parties" and "private birthday parties." With an open play party, your group gets unlimited time to play and one-hour use of the party room. With a private party, you get one hour of play time and 30-minute use of the party room. There are two private party packages to choose from: one allows you to invite up to 15 guests while the other allows you to invite up to 25. Both include your choice of red or purple party supplies and a trained staff member to supervise your party.
