New York City Kids' Birthday Party Ideas Guide

Mar 1 2013
New York City Kids' Birthday Party Ideas Guide

Kids' birthday parties shouldn't be stressful, expensive or difficult, even in NYC, and we've got dozens of super-cool birthday party ideas to prove it. The New York area has so many options, there truly is something for everyone. Our NYC Birthday Party Guide doesn't aim to be a comprehensive list of the hundreds of party places in New York City; it highlights the ones we've been to ourselves and loved, heard rave reviews about from friends or sound awesome. Also look for do-it-yourself, at-home party ideas and tips for great presents, cakes and more. We'll be writing more of these posts and adding them as we go, so be sure to check back. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to check out our Party Planner.

You can find even more party inspiration with our posts about spa days, museum sleepovers, science bashes, afternoon tea parties and places to please little princesses.

  • 5 Inexpensive Birthday Party Room Rentals for NYC Kids
    With so many amazing things to do with kids in NYC we're never jealous of suburban families... except when it comes to throwing birthday parties for our children. Most of us don't have the space to host a big bash at home and no backyard for a bouncy house. And while there are lots of great...
  • Staten Island Kids Party Places: 10 More Great Birthday Ideas
    In the past we've touted Staten Island as a great place to find a birthday party bargain. But there are so many fun Staten Island party spots, we thought it was time to do a new roundup. Not only do Staten Island parties tend to be some of the least expensive options in NYC, they often offer...
  • NYC Kids' Cruises Birthday Parties: Celebrate on a Boat on the Hudson River
    While there are a ton of family-friendly NYC boat tours, there are, surprisingly, only a handful of companies that have cruises that cater specifically to kids. Both the Circle Line, which launched its Kids' Cruise series in 2012, and Kiddie Cruises offer regularly scheduled seasonal boat trips in...
  • NYC Pool Party for Kids: Indoor Swimming Pools for Children's Birthday Parties
    In the past, we've written about ways to host a summer urban pool party and shared our favorite outdoor NYC public pools. But this winter, a few of our readers wrote in asking where they could book an indoor pool party off-season. Swimming parties are certainly a decadent way to celebrate a...
  • Queens Party Places: 10 More Great Kids' Birthday Party Ideas
    Back in 2010, we posted our first roundup of cool Queens party places, including favorites like Astoria Sports Complex and the Queens Zoo. But there are so many other awesome birthday spots in the borough—including a few that recently opened like Astoria's Kids Playhouse and Oliloli...
  • Brooklyn Gym Parties: 14 Kids' Birthday Party Places for Jumping, Bouncing and Running Amok
    Your kindergartner just told you he wants, no needs to invite all of his classmates to his fifth birthday party. Even in Brooklyn, the average apartment isn't going to be able to accommodate all of those kids, and assuming if you could figure out a way to get them all in there, would you really...
  • Bronx Birthday Party Places for NYC Kids
    One look at our NYC Party Guide and it's clear there are a slew of birthday party places for kids in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. But if you assume there aren't any awesome spots to celebrate your child's big day in the Bronx, think again. The Boogie Down borough...
  • How to Make a Free Photo Booth for a Kids' Party
    For the past few years, I have dreamed about having a party with a photo booth. Not only does it seem like a fun party activity, but the guests end up with great favors: The funny photos that show everyone together, having a blast. You can rent a photo booth from a local company, but the prices...
