Kids' Winter Birthday Party Ideas in Connecticut

2/2/14 - By Sherry Pardy

Is it just me, or has this winter brought more snow and more cold than usual?  Even this hearty New Englander can't think back to a more active winter.  Perhaps the weather seems a bit more magnified since we recently moved from the usually balmy shoreline to the base of the Litchfield Hills, but it seems mother nature is having her way with us this chilly season.  Perhaps she'll relent with a delightful spring and reasonably warm summer.  A Momma can dream, right?

This cold weather makes planning a birthday party for active, cabin feverish, snowbound kiddos challenging.  But, winter birthday celebrations need not be quiet, restful events, or even indoors.  We've come up with a few unique ideas for you to plan a winter birthday party to be remembered! Our Birthday Party Guide has even more fun options for you to consider.

Tribury Karate & Fitness - My twins recently began Tang Soo Do classes here and I can NOT say enough amazing things about this place!  TKF makes a perfect birthday party spot for super active kiddos.  They provide EVERYTHING!  Invites, cake, pizza, thank you notes, goodie bags, 90 minutes of activities by one of their trained black belts and the birthday kid gets to cut their cake with a play Samurai sword.

Woodbury Ski Area - Get outside and head to Woodbury Ski area for a ski or snow tubing birthday party!  At Woodbury, the ski area, lodge and snow tubing trails are all available for rent.  Plus, it's one of the few places that if it snows, the party just gets better!

The Cookie Workshop - This isn't your Momma's cookie bakery!  Each kiddo gets to make approximately 2 dozen cookies, from dough, using cookie cutters.  While their "homemade" treats bake, they indulge in a cupcake tower and take to decorating special boxes to bring home their culinary creations.  While their treats bake, they can watch through the window into the nut-free cookie kitchen.  Oh, and once the cookies are done, before packaging, birthday party attendees decorate the delights with sprinkles and frosting.  Pizza/snacks/aprons/chef hats available for extra cost.

CoCo Key Waterpark Resort - CoCo Key recently changed their birthday party structure, and now offer flat rate party rates!  Choose from an all day all inclusive package to a more basic, water fun.  Even the most basic package includes $5 to spend in the arcade, food and cake.  Whichever you choose, your kids are sure to splash their way to perfect party day.
