Where to Have an 8 Year Old's B-day Party in Arlington?

We've gone to parties at Pump It Up and I think it's somewhat pricey (over $200). We went to a party at a place in Bedford called the Kids Clubhouse and it was neat but they closed. The good thing is that a new place opened up in that space and it's called Monkey Business (http://www.monkeybusinesstx.com/newsite/). I just checked the prices and it's $50 room rental and $5 per kid. You can also purchase their stuff (cake, pizza, decor) or bring your own which is nice because you can usually get it cheaper. They have a big indoor playground plus separate rooms with dress up and theater stuff. You could go and play one day to check it out.

You could also do a bowling party.

I heard "Alley Cats" is a fun place. They have bowling for kids of all ages. I've never been there but the kids all love it.

I, along with my daughter, own Bouncin' Bonanza in Crowley. We are indoor facility with approx. 15,000 square feet and 13 inflatables to play on, including an alligator, obstacle course and jousting ring, plus many more. We are great for all ages. Please call us at ###-###-#### or visit our website at www.bouncinbonanza.net for more information.
I hope we can help you with your party needs.

I highly recommend Chelsea's tearoom in S. Arlington. They have many themes (some not too girlie), and cater to every age. My daughter and her friends loved it!

Fielder Road Baptist Church has a great gym for rent. The rental includes a party room and bounce house, basketballs, etc etc. It was a great place to have a party of 25 very active 7 yr olds! I think they also have a game room for rent.
