Hello,
I am looking for ideas for a birthday party for a girl turning 5 preferably in the Mclean/Vienna/Tysons area. If you've had a good experience with a place, please do share. We are open to other areas close by as well. Date would be around mid-end October.Thanks! |
American Girl at Tysons (they have a party room)
Kilnz (pottery painting) in Vienna |
Thank you PP. I will check out Klinz, I thought about American Girl but because we will also invite boys, I don't know how fun it would be for them |

I think PP means Kiln & Co. |
Thank you for clarifying because I couldn't find it. Has anyone also used "Ideaventions" for that age group? Thanks!` |
We were at Michael's one day and I saw them doing a kids' party in the back room. They were (as you might have guessed) working on some kind of craft project. It looked like fun.

If you are open to Arlington, JW Tumbles has always been ggod to us. Avoid the ballet place nearby. It sucks.

We used Ideaventions for a 5 yo and it was fun. |

Little Gym - Chantilly or Fairfax - is my favorite for 5 year olds. We've been to Michaels; it's okay (tight space, not festive). Parks and Rec have a ton of pavilions, but be careful about the weather (price is great, most have bathrooms, plentiful parking, and fantastic play areas). Ideaventions is good, but some girls don't like it (lots of loud noises, robots/machines). Reston zoo is good (far for you?). I don't recommend martial arts for girls, as we've been to a bunch and for whatever reason, the girls don't like them. |
Thank you everyone. We called a bunch of the places recommended and most did not have availibility for the day/time slots wanted. I didn't know they filled up shop quickly since I'm planning almost 6 weeks ahead. I think we will settle with Alexandria Coliseum in Annandale, though I've never been, so will need to go visit but they have bounces, and lots of slides/jumping equipment that I think 5-6year old would like and the reviews online were good, so we will see. Thanks again! |
I really liked Little Gym bit they were booked on the days I was looking for |
