I’m looking for a place that has a large enough party room to accommodate 50 first graders plus their parents. Ideally close to NW DC but will travel if needed. Thank you! |
That sounds nuts. |
Do you have twins OP? Is this your first venue party? |
The 7th circle of Hell. |
FIFTY? Twins in separate classes plus many siblings and cousins? |
Pump it Up in Silver Spring and Kids First Swim School and/or swimming places. Kids First has a certified kid for $250 and then you pay a bit extra for one more lifeguard. We had about 40 kids as we invited siblings and families. It was a lot of fun. |
The cafeteria or gymnasium at the school that they all attend. |
Yes, we went to one at Pump It Up about 5 years ago--parents invited two daycare classes (kid was transitioning between the two). |
50 plus parents, so around 150 people? Plus siblings too? That's HUGE (the size of a small wedding). Honestly, you are going to hate this suggestion, but chuck e cheese might be able to accommodate you, or a hotel ball room. |
We went to a twin party at st James. You could also do a trampoline place. Maybe badlands. Bowling. Sky zone.
I have boys who were born 1 day apart. Every year I try to do a big joint party but we just have 2 separate parties because I can’t find a venue for 40-50 kids. Instead I have 2 parties for 20-25 kids. |
Chuck. E cheese |
Perhaps most traditional places can, but you might need to book the equivalent of two parties held at the same time. Try pinstripes and ZavaZone. |
Rent an ice rink for an hour. |
We had 40 kids at Jumping Joeys in Clarendon and you could get 50 kids there easy. The party room gets too full for all the parents to cram in, but a lot of parents just went outside to the larger reception area. The actual recreational space is more than adequate. The St James could also accommodate that but again the party room will be tight. (I think the party rooms will be tight everywhere). |
I’m the pp who went to a twin party at st James. They combined 2 party rooms. |
