Birthday Party for 5Yo Boy in February/cold Weather

We went to two birthday parties this year at the pet store! The store has a room in back where the kids can have cake and pizza. The kids got to play with the dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters etc. The store clerks were very knowledgeable about the animals and the kids got a tour first. They even got to learn about the fish. They got to touch a snake, cuddle a guinea pig and play. The store gave out coupons in the birthday bags. It seemed like a weird idea when I first heard about it but it was great!

Also, some martial arts studios do birthday parties. Gymnastics facilities are another one.

There is a Jumpin Land in Mckinney off of redbud and also Peter Piper pizza, kind of like a smaller version of chuck e cheese but hasn't been as crowded anytime we have been there. There is a new Chuck E Cheese in Allen too

We are doing our son's 5th birthday party at the Oak Point rec center in the gym room. They have 2 of the girl gymnasts there to run the party, 3 if you have more than 16 kids (up to 24 kids) and it is very reasonably priced.

My and my DH were just discussing this topic for our son. His bday is in Feb also, but we live in MN and in Feb the temps are usually -10 zero or maybe a little warmer. Last year we tried the in the house party and it was hectic having so many people crowded in our house. My DH came up with doing a party at the local bowling alley. Which would be fun, indoors, cheap, there is also an arcade, and pizza of course. A bowling alley might be a good choice for you.
