Does anyone have any suggestions on where to hold a 1st birthday party? I would love something that could be both inside and out. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

not inside and out, but we did the ukranian league for our sons 1st (we had 75/100) and were pleased. space was ok, had kitchen attached (whihc was important since i was doing the cooking)

Try Franklin Square. They have all kinds of party packages to choose from. http://www.onceuponanation.org/franklinsquare.htm

You can also call 215-629-4026 for more information on party planning.

Yeah, your home.

Try Smith Playground in fairmount Park.

I agree. Set the bar low now. That way you're not living some hellish "My Sweet 16" scenario in the future.

Hi! I am a mom of three and since you are open to suggestions I will give you mine.

A party for a one year old is really for the parents. The child will not likely remember it. I try to be practical so I never hosted a large party for my children when they turned one. I did always have a home-made cake (that they can dig their fingers in!) and my closest family members to celebrate the important milestone.

I have attended several children's parties. It seems that my children enjoyed them most when they turned three or older. The venues listed are great suggestions, here are some additional suggestions:

Please Touch Museum
Chuck E. Cheese
The Little Gym
Gymboree

I hope that you and the little one enjoys the special day.

Fairmount Art Center does great parties, too, but I think the child would need to be at least 3.

try your own house. The kid is 1

At home!!!
