Ice skating and Pizza Parlor? Your budget is huge.

@ Home doesn't work as we have a small home and big dogs.

In the past we've done:
9-Cirque-Eloise (Similar but smaller than Cirque'D'Soliel)
8-Roller Rink
7-Bumper-Bowling
6-Jeepers (indoor rollercoaster + bumper cars was cool)
5-Chuckie Cheeze

I'm coming up blank this year. Wife suggested build-a-bear, but it
seems kinda weak to me. We dont mind dropping some money,
but not huge amounts. (say 300-500)

We've managed to really thrill with the bowling,roller,and cirque
ideas as they were unique and uncommon.

Anyone have any fun ideas for a birthday outing? (note: northeast us,
its cold out)

At this age, going with some sort of "make it" party may well be a good
idea. How about one of the ceremic places? They have the greenware
(unfinished) stuff, and various types of paints and finishes; you have
to leave the stuff there to be fired, but kids seem to enjoy it. The
only time I've seen a kids' party at one of those places the staff
seemed extremely skilled at working with kids. And once the stuff is
fired, it all looks great.

(For what it's worth, *I* think of 300 - 500 as a pretty substantial sum
for a birthday party! But it would be fun to be able to spend that
much.)

Indoor ice skating?

Just a couple of girls to go out for dinner, a movie and sleepover?

One friend on a dinner train?
