Indoor birthday party venues?
My daughter is turning 5 next month and I’d like to find an indoor venue to host her birthday party. (I’m assuming we’ll be dealing with wildfire smoke and don’t want to risk it.) I searched BPN but it looks like most of the info is a few years old.
thanks!

My daycare providers have an indoor playground in Richmond called Adventure Kinderland. They purchased it right before the pandemic, so not many kids have been there except for my son's daycare group once a week. I think it would be a perfect place for a birthday party - there is a ball pit, slides, a huge jungle gym, lots of toys for all ages, a kitchen for preparing and serving snacks and food, and an outdoor area with a kid's race track (assuming it's ok to be outside).

Not sure I'd be considering any indoor venue for a party with 5yr olds, who aren't able to be vaccinated. Please reconsider.
Does she like to jump on trampolines? We just had a super fun, well-organized 8 y/o birthday party out at Rockin' Jump (formerly Sky High Sports) in Concord. It recently reopened and it's clean and well-run. The kids have a window of time (length corresponds to which party package you purchase (and how much you spend)). to jump on all their various trampolines, play trampoline dodge ball, etc. and when that is over, you get a private room for pizza and drinks (provided by their snack bar) and you bring the cake or cupcakes. It was super clean and I felt pretty Covid-safe. I loved that it was easy, fun, and done in a matter of a couple hours :)
With rates climbing out of control and children being unvaccinated, I would seriously recommend against an indoor birthday party. Our kid also has a September birthday, and last year we set a date and told people we may have to move the date depending on smoke. We will do the same this year. We of course will be keeping the party small because of COVID so re-scheduling wouldn't be a huge ordeal. Our plan is that if we have to reschedule we'll make sure it's a time his best friend can make it, and then whoever else can make it, great.
