It seems like every week we’re heading to the store to put together another birthday gift for a classmate or neighborhood friend. When it’s your time to plan a party, you might choose to keep it low-key with a simple party at home. Perhaps you’d prefer to host outside of your house (no mess!)? What are some local options for venues? What’s popular with the kiddos but also friendly on your wallet? Whatever your budget is, and whatever you decide to do to honor your little one, as long as they feel celebrated it doesn’t matter how small or grand the party is–just have fun with it!

• Naperville Park District: Look no further! In addition to providing a clean and healthy environment, the park district’s parties are conducted in spaces that are either entirely reserved for the party, or cordoned off from other activities that are taking place. And, there are maximum limits for each group to keep each party smaller in size. They also provide everything you need to make your event special for your child and easy for you including dessert from DeEtta’s Bakery, staff-run activities, drinks, paper products and utensils and we clean up after your event. Aurelio’s Pizza can be ordered through the Party Coordinator for an additional cost. Register at any time; parties require a minimum two-week notice; nature parties require three weeks notice. Days/times are subject to availability. To get your party experience started, submit your request or contact the Party Coordinator.

Art supplies are ready and waiting when you arrive – including aprons to help protect clothing. All you need to bring are the kids and the food. (We even provide plates and utensils.) Kids don’t need any artistic skills to have fun and paint at Pinot’s Palette.
