Planning a birthday party for your child can be a challenge. Finding the perfect place to make the birthday boy or girl happy isn't always easy or affordable. Here are some choices in the greater Phoenix area that might be just what you had in mind.

Why not get wild at the zoo and let your little tiger have an unforgettable birthday? The Phoenix Zoo offers both hosted and do it yourself parties. The basic hosted party package includes admission for 10 children and 12 adults, a Safari Train ride, a carousel ride for the children and a nature activity craft with the Party Host.
