my son's birthday is january 5, and he will be 2. i do not want to have a party but i would like to take him somewhere that would catch his attention and somewhere he would enjoy. he loves anything with noise, any ideas?
I'd try Chuck E. Cheese. Its really not that bad during the week.
When we lived in PA, there was a place called Slinky Action Zone that was basically a huge gym that was filled with those play place tubes you find at McDonalds. My 2 year old had a blast there. Of course, at 2, my son loved just about anything that he was able to run/jump/climb on without getting in trouble for it. If there's nothing special in your area or within a reasonable driving distance, you might just take him to a place like McDonalds that has a play place and let him play! I'm sure that spending time with you will be the highlight of his day no matter what you end up doing!
Jungle Java and Ann Arbor Hands On Museum are both really good and fun places for toddlers.
do you have a 'pump it up' in your area? Google it-it's basically a warehouse full of those inflatable things kids can jump in..adults too. My son went to a party there last year when he was two and he loved it-you can go on non party hours also.
Or a chuckie cheese...some of the games are to old, but they do have a few that are just toddler sized.
