Children's Birthday Party Venues in San Diego, California

Ah yes, the annual birthday party for the kids can turn into quite the head-scratcher. Who (or what) is in right now? Should you invite a gaggle of kids or just a select few? Are you in competition with the Joneses from next door or do you need to top your efforts from last year? Finally - how much is it going to cost you?

If you consider the Corvette Diner at 3946 5^th Avenue (that's in San Diego's Hillcrest neighborhood) you might have found a way out of the dilemma. Roughly $300 will buy you transportation to and from the diner in an eight passenger limousine. Once arrived, your birthday boy or girl and friends will be treated to party favors, a cheeseburger, soda and dessert. The music is that safe 1950s fare that includes none of the four letter words you need to look out for these days, and if you party on Tuesday or Wednesday, you get the added benefit of having a magician come in and perform. You may make a reservation by calling 619-542-1476 Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Remember that the limo package is only available on weekdays!

For the somewhat older child (at least 7 or older) who enjoys the fast paced action of laser tag, San Diego's Ultrazone at 3146 Sports Arena Boulevard is a great choice. Keep in mind that children younger than seven are not permitted to play, and thus younger siblings might need to be taken to a sitter if your older child parties here! The hosted birthday party package is nothing to sniff at and when you consider that about $190 feeds, treats, and occupies eight kids under the supervision of a host, you know you got off cheap! Call 619-221-0100 and reserve your time slot now.

For the somewhat younger set, the Model Railroad Museum is just the thing. A party room is provided for your and on weekend days you can reserve the Pacific Beach Room for only $150 which buys you two hours. If you spend an extra $100, you will also get goodies for the kids and special invites. Adults pay extra for their admission ($3 per adult) which is not too expensive. Call 619-696-0199 to get more info and then head on down to 1649 El Prado (Balboa Park).
