Too far to travel for a bday party?

I was thinking about having dd 2nd bday party at once upon a treetop in the begining of dec. My only concern is the location. It is in plainview and most of our friends/family live in suffolk county. From Port jeff to ronkonkoma to commack to west islip and all in between. Is this too far for most to travel? Would you travel that far? If not can you recommend a good place closer to suffolk county for a 2nd bday parry that is good for kids ages 1-6. Thanks

Generally, I'd go.
Some people are more funny about driving far than others. Especially if it's only a 2-3 hour party. For some it's not worth it to drive 1.5 hr round trip.

I think it's ok. I would travel for it. I think the issue arrises more so when it's school aged kids because it's more of a class party. This is going to be mostly close friends and family right? If so, I don't think it will be an issue.
