Oops meant 10 year old not 20.

For the age 12+ set, Escape Room is typically a hit.

Top Golf maybe for boys?

It can't be too many people but Escape the Bomb DC and the indoor parachuting place in Centreville are really neat.

I find sleepover and skincare night for girls ages 11-14 work. I find Dave and Busters work for boys 11-14.

Another thing I've done is just a dinner out with maybe manicures for a few girls prior. Some activity + dinner = all good. Can be shopping at the mall for 60 min before dinner. Then you all leave the mall, done!

But none of these are big groups - both my kids invite their group of friends so 3-5 tops. Indoor skating - roller/ice for girls is another suggestion for the ages 11-14 set.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one. Other parents I’ve talked to made it seem like it’s easier at this age.

That becomes the hardest part.

I understand why the kids want to do more mature things, but that really means you have to limit how many people can be invited.

My 8th grader (so friends are turning 14) has recently been to the following parties:

Paintball/sleepover
Top Golf/playing football at the local fields
Hibachi/also playing football at the local fields
Sky Zone
Basketball & football at one of the elementary schools/pizza

At night during Glow it would definitely be appropriate!

My 14 yo went to a party and Sky Zone and enjoyed it.

TopGolf
Pinstripes

Those are two that my 15 year old has enjoyed recently.

They are just happy to hang out and eat.

DS's friends seemed to take a couple of years off from Sky Zone but he's recently been to two 13 year old parties there, and he loved both.
