I had my son's a an indoor play area because of the heat and unpredictable weather, his bday is in the worst part of hurricane season :). His was at Play Time Express in St. Pete. I believe it was $175 or $150 which included, a really nice cake, paper products, juice, balloons, circle time and a story. It's a small closed in play area that is perfect for toddlers up to 6 years of age. Parents can visit with out loosing sight of thier children. www.playtimeexpress.com. I have also been to a toddler's bday at the Ultimate Party Play Zone about the same price, with products supplied, etc, however they have a much bigger play area with HUGE blow ups. It's great fun for young and old alike. The adults climbed up these huge bounce things and slide down the slides. We moaned when they said to was time to stop and go eat cake. :) If you are in Tampa try checking out Gymboree another great fun place for toddlers, it's indoors, colorful and they do a fantastic job with the kids. Good Luck! P.S. since my son's second party I have toned it down and enjoyed it more. His 3rd party I asked him what he wanted. He said he wanted the party to be at home. He picked 3 friends to invite. He told me he wanted cake and party hats that's it. I splurged on some extra times like goodie bags, ballons, and a $20 wall mural of the CARS. I made the cake and he LOVED it! I enjoyed it more too as it was much more enjoyable to watch him with his best friends then a huge group of kids running around. The three mothers hearts melted when they all sat together at the table , sang happy birthday, and ate cake. It's hard to believe but it was a moving moment. So sometimes simple is best, especially when it come to the small guys. This year he wants to have the party in his bedroom! I am trying to figure that one out :)
