Well, let's see, having a three-year old (soon to be four), we have had several parties. I do agree with Ollie Koalas (Mandarin or the beaches one), we've had parties at local parks (Kingsley Ave - Clark Park in OP) and the zoo. This year we are having ours at Diamond D Ranch way out Normandy Blvd. It is pricey, but an open farm to feed cows, go on hayrides, have a hay fight, bounce house, picnic tables and petting zoo are all included in your price for a 3-hour block. Field trips go there all the time. Check it out.

Try Mandarin Park or Burnett Park. I have been to birthday parties at both and the kids have a great time. They both have a covered pinic area and a playgroud. Burnett Park does have indoor play areas and I know
Burnett Park can be rented by calling them in advance and letting them know the time and date.

Since all the other ideas are taken, here is what I can think of that has not been mentioned:
- Pump it Up (off Beach just 2 blocks east of 9A)
- Fire Station Tour and then cake cutting at the local park.

Not sure about the age range (don't think it would be an issue) but Tunnelz and Tumblez is a great place - giant indoor play area, plus private room for cake and pizza. Only concern would be that it does get crowded, might be a little much for 2 year olds. Or what about Gymboree at The Avenues Mall? My 3 year old went to a party there and loved it! Also, Ollie Koalas's, in Mandarin as well.

Anyway, just a few ideas - good luck!

There is a wonderful new park off of Baymeadows just past 9A. It's the Regional 9A/ Baymeadows Park. The playground is fenced in away from the water. There are SEVERAL covered pavillions. And the equipment is smaller for little ones. My sons playgroup (a bunch of 2 year olds) frequent this park alot!

Ollie Koala's in Mandarin at San Jose & Loretto. Tunnels and Tumbles near the Avenues Mall.

Ollie Koala's next to LaNopelara or McDonalds or School Aids. It is fun for all ages!!

Check out 'Pump It Up' on Beach Blvd. Its a great place for a child's party and they provide lunch if you want. Not sure what minimum age is, but worth calling.
Owners are friends of mine and wonderful people!
