Hi all. New to area and looking for a fun indoor play ground etc to have my twin boys 7th bday party. Yes very last minute oops
Oh I am in Ballston Spa NY. Thanks!
TreePaad in Malta is a great option for 7 y/o boys! Chuck E Cheese is in Latham, and though I have not attended a birthday party there, I have heard it is good for that age group. (I have been there and enjoyed it). It’s hard not knowing what your boys are interested in. I have a lot of ideas, but all depending on what you’re looking for. Email me! colleen@saratogamama.com and we can chat.
I would say Treepad would be the easiest, less chaotic than Chuck e Cheese
Another cool option is the indoor waterpark at the Great Escape Lodge.
Cartwheels Gymnastics in Clifton Park is amazing! http://www.cartwheelsgym.com/
