What to Do for a Two-Year Old's Birthday Party

Make it easy for yourself! Having baby number two is hard to juggle. Unless you have a maid service and family members who will do all the cooking i would highly recommend doing a destination party. I have a small house and both my kids have winter birthdays, i work full-time (without maid service ha) so we do out-of-house parties! I have found when the kids are younger you have all the parents to entertain and feed as well. My daughter's second birthday party is in a couple weeks and we are having a monkey party at "elite sports complex" in Downers Grove for an hour of "monkeying around", tumbling, obstacle course, ball pit etc, followed by using their party room for cost-co deli trays and cake -easy! In the past for my four year old son we had his second at "the Kohl childrens museum" well worth the drive - and a lot cheaper to host than the DuPage museum. Also this year we had a frog themed party at "Pump it Up" in Lisle for my son's fourth. It is an awesome place if you have alot of children of various ages. Pair it up with a fun theme and you have a great time and no house to clean at the end!

Have fun!

The Fox valley park district has a wonderful new facility called the VAC and it has and indoor waterpark that has an area designed especially for todlers. They do all kinds of birtday parties and have some of the most reasonable priced packeged I haved come accross for this area. For more info give them a call at ###-###-####. Hope this helps.

We just went to a dual bday party for a 2 and 3 yr old. It was held at GymQuest in Plainfield. VERY age-appropriate, safe, and lots of fun. My 2-yr old had a ball. I was also impressed with the way the gym kept it private for your own party and they also had a party room upstairs for cake and gifts. Check it out!

Hi L.,
Glen Ellyn Park district just opened up a sprinkler park, it is really cool, might be a fun thing to do in the summer, there is also a shaded seating/party area. The charge is minimal, or there is a free one in Roselle il.

Hello L.,
The big parties that my son has attended have been at My Gym and BounceTown (Oswego- Rt34/Rt30). These have both been for 2 and 3 years olds. The other thought....All Aboard Diner. They are located in Lemont and it is a great Train Diner which is fun for the little ones. They have a special room you can rent for birthday's. Just a few thoughts :)
