Party Help Needed!!
I am planning my son's 5th birthday party for about 20 kids.
In the past, I have had his parties at Party Palooza, Fun for Kidz, a VFW hall, and 1 party at home.
Have you ever been to a kids' party place and thought, "Oh my goodness...that was so cool!"?
Looking for any suggestions in Nassau county. No ball pits!!
Thanks sooooo much for any suggestions!!

Thanks...I've seen that place but my son doesn't like those inflatable jumpy things. Plus, with a lot of kids, those things are an accident waiting to happen!
Anything else?? I want to do something different, I just don't know what?

How about a bumper bowling or roller skating party? I also thought some karate places have parties.

Re: Party Help Needed!!
Hi, The best party I have ever been to is White Post Farms. It costs $$$$, and you need to book early- but everyone loves it.
My cousin just had her sons 4th B-day at Burger King in Wantagh. They have a play area-tunnels and slide. You get use of the room for 2 hours, kids meal, toy and drink for $7 per child. Also, the adults get value meals for $7 pp. You need to bring your own cake and goody bags. You get a hostess/server. The kids loved it and it was cheap.
I had Ava's 2nd Birthday at The Pet Den Party Jungle in Commack. They take care of everything= invites, food,drinks and pictures. They bring out several exotic animals for the kids to touch and learn about and they get to take their pic with their favorite animal. It was good for kids of all ages. We had guest from infants up to 10 years old. Not cheap, but very nice.
Good Luck.

Re: Party Help Needed!!
On my list of places to check out, I have:
*The Children's Safari
* Cool Crafts, Inc.
*My Little Party Cafe
*Orly's Treehouse
*The Pet Den's Party Jungle.
I REALLY loved the website for the last place, but with the amount of kids I'm going to have, the party would be almost $700!! Ummm...no! 
I LOVE White Post but my son's class just went on a class trip there so I don't want to bring them all back there again.
My son goes to Karate school, so I might end up having the party there.
I was just looking for something fun and different.
Oh well..I'll keep searching!

A karate party sounds like it would be fun!! Can you give me the link for the Party Jungle place?
We went to a party at Cool Crafts and it was just ok. But, these were 3 year olds.

Re: Party Help Needed!!
I haven't had a party there in many years, but my son had two of his birthday parties (ages 3 and 4) at Wood Kingdom. It is in Farmingdale, pretty much near the Nassau Suffolk border. I am not sure if they still have parties there, but it was well worth the money. They had a treasure hunt, pinata, costumed character, pizza, soda and cake, and they got to play on the playsets in the private party room. Oh, and for a little extra, goodie bags were included.

They definitely still do parties! We've been to 4 there this year! They do a great party! I think 5 is too "old" for this place, though. How sad is that!

The Children's Safari is in Valley Stream:
6 Rockaway Avenue
Valley Stream, NY 11580.
Children's SAfari
I have been to lots of parties at Wood Kingdom as well. ANd I agree, 5 years old is too old for the place. That's my son...an old man already at the age of 5!
Also:
The Pet Den's PArty Jungle

Thanks! The Safari party looks great! I could never handle a Jungle party, though. OMG, LIVE exotic animals?! 
I think I'm sticking to the Children's Museum.
