Anyone who’s ever thrown a birthday party for their kid knows that finding the right location is 1. Hugely important and 2. Kind of stressful. Sure, Yelp is great, but a lot of newer and smaller places don’t get the kudos they deserve. That’s why we reached out to a trusted group of local parents in the LA area (including our own employees!) to share their go-to kids’ party venues. Whether they love laser tag, sensory play, sports or spa days, there's a venue to suit their favorite theme. Here’s what earned their seal of approval! (Oh, and speaking of themes, you can find our top ones along with matching invitations, party supplies and thank you cards right here.)
