Liz McD
The older you get, the more you begin to dread each birthday a little. Sure, you still enjoy them, but you can't help but feel each one is a milestone, leading towards the inevitable end. But your kids? They love birthdays. Each birthday gets them closer to that magical time when they'll be able to go to the movies by themselves, and drive a car, and eat as much candy as they want. BEFORE dinner. Celebrate your kid's birthdays with gusto, because this time won't last forever. Here are some of the best places to get your party on with your kids and their friends.

    It's a great place to come with you kids, specially small ones. The place is not too big, so you can relax and have some coffee and keep an eye on your child. Nice equipment, some video games, arts and crafts room - I like it there. Ask for their parking.
