Best Children's Birthday Parties in Albany NY

Planning a party for your child's birthday can be a daunting task. Once you've looked around your home and realized that there's no way you want to have 20 sticky pairs of hands touching your collection of breakable knick knacks, you know that you're going to have to have your party somewhere else. Luckily, when you're in Albany, you've got quite a few choices as to where you're going to hold that party.

One of the easiest (and nicest) places to hold a party for young'uns is Jeepers, in Crossgates Commons (Washington Ave Ext, Albany). Jeepers is a place that has rides, games and other attractions geared to children from about 3-10 years old. There are games like arcade favorites and skee ball, rides (small indoor ones) and even a live parrot exhibit where you can feed the birds. Jeepers also serves food (mostly kid fare - pizza and hot dogs). Perhaps the best thing about having your kid's party here is that they do all the work for you - there are ready made party packages, so all you have to do is choose the activities and price range you want and you're set!

Chuck E Cheese's is a chain that is all over the US, and they're also a great place to have your child's birthday party. The local Chuck E Cheese's is on Troy-Schenectady Rd in Latham, in Latham Farms. This site is similar to Jeepers in that they cater to the younger set, and they have rides and games for them to play. Chuck E Cheese's also serves pizza and other foods friendly to kids, and they've even got a toddler zone for the younger children in your group. When you book a party here (which you can do online through their website) you get a number of activities, as well as food and a special birthday show.

If you're not into loud chain-type restaurant/party places, check out Cartwheels for Kids in East Greenbush. This facility, which also holds classes and activities for young children, is a great place with a gymnasium feel that you can rent. The staff here will also help you customize a theme party or anything else you want to hold here, so you're able to more easily tailor a children's birthday party to your child's needs.

All of these places make for a great birthday party - and the best part is that you don't have to do any of the setup or clean up! You can just enjoy the looks on your child's face as they have the time of their lives!
