Bach to Rock in McLean offers lower cost parties. Looks like they have something for the 5 yo range.

I think for 5 when a lot of the kids are still 4, you can get away with jWtumbles if you add the moon bounce and zip line. It will be about $300. You save a lot of money bringing your own food.

We recently did a party at tiny dancers in mosaic and were very happy. The guests left with a tutu and a tiara, so I did not have to buy a goody bag separately. The space is clean .

Jammin’ Java rents their space

Dynamic Gymnastics near the Falls Church REI.

My 8 yo also loved Laser tag at the place located down the mini mall.

I'd look at a place where you can rent the whole space. Mygym/littlegym are great for that age. They lysol stuff all the time and give kids hand sanitizer between activities.

Clay Café in Falls Church is nice.

Any ideas for a small birthday party venue in NoVA? I looked at Tea with Mrs. B but omg its $525 for 8 guests for 1.5 hours and a ton of add ons. I really don't want to do a party at my house since I will only be 2-3 weeks postpartum but I want to do a birthday party for my older daughter (who is turning 5). Want to try and avoid large venues (i.e. Chuck E. Cheese) to avoid germs. Any ideas? That are a little bit cheaper?
