8 Years Old and Wants a Party at Jungle Java, Is He Too Old?

My thoughts are kids are going to be kids when put in a place made for kids! His friends will get there and end up acting the age that they are and enjoying themselves. Yes, many of them want to be "cool" but when given the opportunity to play they will take it. It's your son's birthday, let him pick the place where he wants to celebrate and enjoy!

I think kids will have fun where evert the party is. Now having said that, I think he is on the older side for Jungle Java. I personally would throw out some other ideas like Pump it Up, Maybe an Indoor Soccer place (I live in canton and they have a cool one that does b-day party's) Glo Golf/Laser Tag or Bowling to see if there's ANY chance he might want to change his mind :) Bottom line, as long as he has fun, that's what's important.

I agree with Lucia. It's his birthday, let him pick the place! I bet once the other kids are there, they will loosen up and have a blast. Happy b-day to your son!

I think you are lucky that your son doesn't seem to be worried about what is "cool." I will bet he is really smart and will be a leader some day. My son went to a b-day party for one of his classmates that was at a bounce/play place...they are 12. The whole group had a blast. Let him pick.
