A couple that I've thought of:

Malibu (That was last year)
Peter Piper Pizza
San Antonio Zoo
Bowling

What else?

incredible pizza...and then theirs that indoor leaps and bounds joint...forget what its called

but nonetheless I always have issue with this cause theres never much to choose from in this city....chuck E cheese and gatti land and peter pipers and incredibles pizza all get played out after while...theres also a place out on the south side called green acres but I have never been there

and lastly you can look into renting a pool at a public park before they open or after they close to the public....can you tell I have kids?

:tu. Me too, I have 3 ages 10,11,14. :)

I had one of my daughter's parties at a movie theater (Embassy?). It was different because we timed it with the release of "Ella Enchanted". So it all had a princess theme. They have a party room, we had cake but the kids got to go to the concession toget their movie food. Staff had a few games for them. They got a cool "behind the scenes" tour of the control room. Then when it was movie time, they made an announcement in the theater, my daughter waved at everyone from that little projection window, and then flipped the switch to start the movie. All the girls really loved it!

witch reminds it really all depends the sex of the child as well...cause over at La Cantera....in the shop I believe they have a little thing for kids dont know the name of it...but its a make over place and they give the girls a chance to put on a Hannah Montana show or whatever....heard it was pretty cool and of course pricey....

My attire is like funky funny! Am never hungover! Drunk? Wait until the party's over, and get home! NEVER do a gig, where the birthday kid, doesn't get a gift from a guest! What kind of childhood, did u have? :lol

My nephews always love Incredible Pizza company. Mini golf, race cars, bowling and a ton of video games in the same place. The food sucks but they aren't there for the food. It's pricier than Peter Piper or whatever but worth it since bdays are only once a year.

I don't live in SA, but my son's gym offers parties. They have staff there to spot the kids and the kids can go crazy and do whatever they want. They have a rock wall and a rope over a lava pit (a hole in teh floor with a bunch of foam cubes) and all the gym stuff like rings and beams and trampolines. It's not cheap, but it's safe and supervised and what parent doesn't like to take their kid home completely worn out? :)

Yuck I could never have my party at a place like that because those robot things terrified me too much. That gorilla alone would have been good for a year's worth of nightmares!

Dije que todo las dias son especiales....I have done back to back birthday partys at incredible pizza...the first one was like a month right hafter they opened up in 2007 and it was handled pretty well...the second one which was just a few months ago in Feb was a little weak...when I reserved it they told me everything that was included in the birthday party last year now needed to be added on...we still did it but i knew it wasnt going to be the same but the kids still had a blast in the bumbper cars and the 4-d ride they have their

The Magic Time Machine. All the characters get up and sing a special birthday song to the birthday person and from what I've seen, hilarity usually ensues. The food is nothing special, but the atmosphere makes it worth it. That's what we're doing for my soon-to-be six-year-old.

I must be a bad parent.....I told my kid he was too old at 10 to have a birthday party. I took him to Dave and Busters and let him run wild. I spent more than if I would have had a party.

So maybe it works out.

We've done this twice for my daughter at her gymnastic gym. Once when she turned 6 then last yr at ten. All the kids love it.

All the other times we just had a huge party at the house. I rent everything, jumper, cotton candy, dunk (water) machine, clown/magic, slipnslide set up. It's always fun.

This yr, I told her invite 2-3 friends from school and have a sleep over. They can decide what they want to do all day.

I was just picturing 10 preteen girls walking around Mrs. Maalox's neighborhood looking like pregnant 12 year-olds with one or two kids already & eyebrows drawn on with sharpies. :lmao

Not only are they taught how to properly wear blue and green make up with a nasty red lipstick but they even get to keep the sharpies as a souvenir,
Orale' is one of the most under appreciated words that the souf side possess, along with that they will be taught many other words like..liked'd'd and the proper use of the lone star cards at HEB or even at your local grocery store called the "Chinos"....its kinda like Dave Ramsey's Total Money Make Over but only this one takes rich preppy girls and makes them into hoodrats for the day...

I changed my mind, Incredible Pizza is pretty suck ass...

It cost 22.00 for two people to get in, and you have to buy their stupid buffet to get in like Mr Gattis, but I don't recall Gattis being 22.00 for two people.

The bumper cars suck balls, how the fuck do you bump people when there isn't any space, everyone is right next to each other.

The race cars are ok, the golf is semi ok, the food is pretty horrible but on part with other similar places.

I don't know where I'm going to have this party...

Like I said this last Feb we went was lame compared to the first year they opened up and we had a B-day party there. This last time they were charging for every little thing and then we get there and t sucked and was rushed unlike last years version. I just go for the games, and the kids will more then like it and they do so I look at it like that. And unlike Peter Pipers their rides always work...Mondays I think kids are like .99 cents shoulda tried it then

Agreed.

My daughter had her 10th & 11th birthdays there and my son had his 11th, 12th AND 13th there! It's great for boys or girls, you can order pizza the day before from Papa John's and they'll bring it at just the right time for your designated party room time and they clean up for you!

My daughter recently went to a birthday party at Alamo Drafthouse and it seemed to be a big hit with both boys and girls.

Man I wish I could have convinced my girl this time. Tomorrow night it's gonna be: my house, 12 12yr old girls, swimming and sleeping over! So far we have the chocolate fountain, cotton candy machine, smoothie maker ready to go---and of course pizza and wings. And let's don't forget LOTS of Hannah Montana and the Jonas Bros!!!!!!
