1) Angry Birds Party: Do you have a child who LOVES Angry Birds? The Little Shop in Tioga Town Center has created an Angry Birds birthday package complete with sling shots and Angry Bird themed decorations. Totally fun.

2) Ice Cream Fire Truck Party: All kids love fire trucks and all kids love ice-cream. The Sweet Dreams Ice Cream Fire Truck is the best of both! Kids can explore the truck, play dress up with some fire fighter uniforms and of course enjoy some home-made ice cream.

3) Bumpzees: If you have kids who love to be active and have fun, they would LOVE Bumpzees - sort of like human hamster balls, only more like donuts. Fun Events 4 You has all kinds of mobile entertainment like mobile laser tag, mobile water tag, R/C car racing, and much more.  

4) Magic Show: You've probably seen Magic Mike at the library doing a show or at some of the local restaurants making balloon animals, but did you know that he does birthday parties too? Magic Mike will come to your location, do a short magic show and make balloon animals for all the kids at the party.

5) Make-Up Party: At Artsy Kids Studio, your little girl can have a party where each guest makes her own lip gloss and lotion. Artsy Kids Studio also offers painting parties which are fun for boys and girls of all ages.
