3rd b-day few questions- advice please

OK, so DS is turning 3 in late March and I am having baby #2 in early April. I want to have a party for him, but not at my house. So I have a few questions.

1- can you recommend a good fun place that is reasonably priced for kids of different ages or toddler age

2- DS isn't in school and doesn't have many friends/L'Os in our family so do you think it would be weird if I invite all my friends from work? (I'm a teacher and ALOT of my coworkers have babies around his age). We all had a big playdate over the summer and it was fun.

We had my sons 2nd bday pty at a gym and he loved it!!!!! I dont think it is weird that you invite the people that you work with. it cost us i think 400 for the party. a cousin of mine had it at a bowling ally and that was fun. not sure of the price. chuckie cheese is also fun. wood kingdom is lots of fun.

We had DD's 3rd birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese and she LOVED it. We had kids of various ages. We had it on a Friday afternoon so it wasn't insanely crowded. And no, I don't think it's weird to invite friends from work!!

Thank you for the responses. I just looked up Wood Kingdom. I think he would love it.

Little Gym does nice parties for this age group (esp. if you have an active child). LICM rents space too, I think they are $$$, but I don't know what your budget is.
