I have been looking into the Little Gym for gymnastics and dance classes but I never thought of having a party there. I just recently found a great place with gymnastics for kids in brooklyn (http://msjsgym.com) and signed my daughter up for classes. I might have to check and see if they offer any birthday party packages, she would love that!

I can't believe Chick-Fil-A wasn't mentioned. FAR cheaper than every option listed, and they provide everything: the meal, cake, partyware and a hostess. With playplaces in (almost) every restaurant and the cow coming out to dance, I think its an exceptional deal. I thought about hosting a party at Michaels but couldn't believe it was a $50 fee PLUS all the supplies per child. That adds up very quickly.

All 3 of my children have had their birthdays at The Little Gym for the past 3 years! Boys from 1 year - 6 years old. They LOVE it because they can tumble and play and I loved it because it's CLEAN and the staff is incredibly entertaining, funny and obviously loves kids! I didn't even have to carry anything from the car because the staff came running out to greet us in the parking lot to carry our stuff and say hi to the birthday boy. Went way beyond all expectations.

We looked into hosting a party at the Little Gym, but MY GYM beat their prices, offered more and let us pick out the music they played. We did the party last month and it blew my mind! The two teachers had memorized every child's name, gave them nick names and played games that went with our theme, we actually signed up for their parent's night out(friday nights) and their summer camp on the spot, my little one is in love with the place every day i hear "monkey gym"!! This is the best for a part
