Best Toddler Birthday Parties in St. Charles, Missouri

St. Charles County, Missouri, is abundant in entertainment facilities, especially for toddlers. Finding the perfect party place isn't hard, but matching the establishment with your child's needs and abilities is a little more challenging. With games rooms, and entertainment facilities on every corner, planning a party for your child can be an indecisive task. Some places that seem like a lot of fun can be more overwhelming and frustrating than fun once the party begins. Here are some places that seem like a good idea until you have been there and experienced the drama or downfalls.

Chuck E Cheese

Lots to do, but easy for children to get lost in the chaos of the crowd. That is why they have a stamp system at the door. They also have a toddler area, but it is very small and too confining for a toddler party. Also, the climbing tubes are pretty complex, even 3 year olds can get lost up in there and become easily afraid. I had to climb up there to get one out and believe me, it wasn't fun. You can hear them crying, but you can't always tell where the crying is coming from. A 20 minute escapade of this can really be a party pooper. Chuck E. Cheese is a great place for you to go with your child one on one, but not always the best place for a toddler group. If you plan a party here, make sure you warn parents to keep a close eye on their children and consider some of the potential dangers or party pooper situations that could occur.

McDonalds Play Place Birthday Parties

Lots of fun on a small scale, but cleanliness is a huge sacrifice. My sister took my son there to play one day and a child was throwing up on the play mats. When an employee was told about the mess, they half A@# cleaned it up, mostly just scrubbing it into the play mat. Not the cleanest place in the world. We used to go to the play place there at least once a week. After that, we never went back.

America's Incredible Pizza

Okay, well besides the cost, this place can be a lot of fun, just very expensive. There is a toddler area, which is a lot of fun for about the first 10 minutes. After that, your child will want to explore the rest of the facility, which is predominantly for older kids. They have go-carts, glow in the dark, putt-putt golf, bumper cars, and tons of really expensive video games. Their food is amazing at a cost of $9.99 per adult, of which you can't possibly eat your moneys worth. The food is filling and delicious, but your toddler will not want to sit and eat with all the fun things to do there.

Better Choices for Toddler Parties

If you want to try something that will be a fun for toddlers in a more appropriate environment, with less stress on the parents try one of these locations:

Monkey Joes Birthday Parties

Monkey Joes is located in O'Fallon which is just around the corner from St. Peters and St. Charles. Monkey Joes offers inflatable jumping devices with a special toddler area.
