I am looking for a birthday party venue for my turning 5 year old in the Metrowest area (Natick, Wellesley, Framingham, etc).  We will be inviting approximately 20 children (most from her class), both boys and girls.  I've ruled out Jump Around and Planet Gymnastics because it seems like we are invited to parties at those places all the time.

Any unique ideas?  My daughter likes art and dance.

Plaster Fun Time? Had one for my son there and he LOVED it.

am, maybe those two places are the most popular because it's where kids want to go the most.  I know I'd have been happy to go to Chucky Cheese every single day if I'd had the chance. You never hear a kid get back from Disney and ask where they'll be going on vacation next year because Disney has been done.

This may help! Good luck!

Also, check Boston Parents Magazine in the back they have party listings, and BostonCentral (www.bostoncentral.com) has some great listings for things to do, including a party section.

Linx is very popular in Wellesley.

We were invited to a party there, but were unable to attend.

edited to add: I just checked my Mother of Twins forum and a recent post got a lot of votes for MyGym in Framingham.
