Looking for a great place to celebrate the extra candle on your child's cake? Escape games, indoor playgrounds, bowling alleys, zoos, amusement parks... So many places for families that welcome you with open arms, with special turnkey birthday packages including gifts, drinks, cakes and even entertainment!
Birthdays at home are great, but those celebrated away from home are even better. Especially for you, parents, who won't have all the organization, cakes, games and costumes to deal with (nor the mess to clean up once all the kids have left). In any case, if you do it outdoors, there's a very good chance that your child will have stars in his eyes!
For a successful birthday party, of course, you can't go wrong with indoor playgrounds, which are practical in both summer and winter, since they're heated when it's cold and air-conditioned when it's too hot. For two hours, or unlimited (depending on the formula), your child and his or her friends can let off steam, running, jumping and climbing in large, safe play areas. There are also escape games for the very young, with age-appropriate challenges. There are also a number of birthday parties with workshops or cookery classes, where you can join in the fun and learn at the same time.
And let's not forget the amusement parks, the great classics of Paris birthday parties, with the Jardin d'Acclimatation the closest, or Gulli Parc, TFOU Parc... a little further away, but particularly accessible to some Parisians. If the weather's nice and warm, why not opt for a birthday party on a farm? The Gally farms welcome you to care for the animals and have a snack, or the Paris Zoological Park offers a birthday party with a visit to the savannah animals, or to the aquatic animals and fish at the Sea Life Aquarium in Paris. Whatever your child's age, desires or passions, you're bound to find a birthday they'll remember for years to come!
Whether you're looking for a last-minute birthday party or one that's planned several months in advance, we've got something to suit every taste, from the most unusual to the most classic. Here's our selection.
