Party for about ten girls

October 2000

I'm looking for a place for my daughter's 7th birthday party. She's done Golden Bear gymnastics, doesn't want to do it at Head over Heels. Any other ideas for about 10 girls? Thanks so much! Nancy

Try the Lawrence Hall of Science for a party. They are really fun and basically worry free as the facilitator guides the kids through the activity. We especially enjoyed the bubble party. You can also request the party room after for cake. That way you are not in the main dining area. Good luck and book early, Jamie

We just had a very successful birthday party for our 7 year old daughter at Brushstrokes on Page St. and 5th St. in Berkeley. We had 8 girls and they all had a great time painting their pottery. There is a picnic table outside for cake, etc. Emily

For girls or boys, Albany Bowl puts on a great birthday. They supply shoes, lanes (including bumpers so the kids get confidence), pizza and a helper to coordinate it all. We had my son's 7th birthday party there, and they were very friendly and flexible. It was the easiest party to date. We also did Advnenture Playground, but the weather might be a factor for a November birthday. Bennett

You didn't say when the birthday is but I'm going to assume you're looking for indoor locations. I've been trying to organize my son's first birthday party and have actually found a few places that would have been perfect if he was older:

1. Lawrence Hall of Science
2. Lindsay Wildlife Museum
3. Berkeley YMCA Splash Party
4. If outdoor ok, then Oakland Zoo

Good Luck! ek

Several years ago, we had a successful birthday party at the Berkeley YMCA. They have a shallow pool for the kids. I think they spend an hour in the pool, change in the dressing room,and then go to a nearby room for food, cake, presents. I don't remember too well, but I'm pretty sure they supplied plenty of noodles and other pool toys. Nancy
