Bowlero was popular with my 11 year old and her friends. Just be prepared to spend $$$ on arcade cards.

I started to suggest skating rink also, but not every kid can skate anymore as it's less common than in our day.

It's so weird, there was so much roller skating when I was a kid, and no injuries. My kid and two others I know of broke a wrist roller skating. I wonder what changed? Are the rinks slippier? The wrists weaker??

At least we still have bowling! If we're willing to go to the suburbs, and/or spend a small fortune...

My kid had an awesome laser tag party at that age.

Karaoke was also a blast. I had to call around a bit to find places that were open to kids-- a lot of them are bars-- but found one (Sticky Rice on H St NE IIRC) that didn't go 21+ til 9pm, so we did sushi and karaoke from 6-8:30 and I've never seen a crowd of girls have more fun.

I'd try to stay away from all the conspicuous consumption stuff-- spa, mall, etc. They're little girls, they'll have plenty of years to have consumerism pushed on them.
