My daughter is turning 7 and we are trying to come up with ideas for places to have her birthday party. We can not have it at home this year so I'm looking for different ideas to suggest to her. We live in Anaheim Hills and need someplace around here.
I believe most bowling ally have birthday packages. It's a good place to keep the kids in one place. Irvine Lanes has packages where the kids bowl for 1 hour and go upstairs for food & drinks. You supply your own birthday cake and decorations.
Hope you find something fun for your daughter's birthday.
how about Adventure City? Or is Buena Park too far for you? We had my daughter's birthday party here and she loved it!!! Here's a link...
I have done my son's birthday's (and and currently planning his right now at the same place) at the Irvine Regional Park. It is a HUGE park and has TONES to do!!! You can go on their website and check it out. You can reserve a spot or just come that day...you WILL get a spot if you don't reserve...the park is HUGEEE!!!

-We had a b-day at Box Canyon park off of La Palma in East Yorba Linda-not far from you at all. The playground looks like a castle and we went with medeivel theme-knights/princesses etc.
-Yorba Regional Park is good too (paddle boat rentals, picnic).
-Yorba Linda Bowl is good for bowling parties.
-There are tons of Bounce house places in AH.
-Maybe Oak Canyon nature center does parties...
-Camelot mini golf is down the freeway off of Kraemer. Someone mentioned Irvine park-we did my daughters 7th birthday there and rode the horses, train and had a picnic. It was great but far.
-KIPS gymanstics off of la Palma. They do birthday parties too but not sure if you have to be signed up for a class. My cousin went to one there and loved it.
-Another option-Rock City climbing gym (also on La Palma) offers parties but I think it might be pricey.
-Not sure if it still there but Nickel Nickel-video arcade-on Imperial and La Palma (is there anything not on La Palma?)-
-somewher in AH or neighboring city there must be a ceramic painting studio
Isn't Scooter's Jungle somewhere around there? They have lots of bounce houses and it is apparently really fun. I haven't been but have heard it is great. I am not sure of the age limits though.
Pump it up is a great place and I think they have one in Anaheim Hills.
I just had my daughter's party at Hulaballoo's Clubhouse in Orange. On Katella close to Main Street.
It was great fun.
Lucky Strike at the block at orange
Strike at Tustin District
Scooter's Jungle - Placentia
My Gym - Anaheim Hills
And ABC Cakes in Orange does custom cakes that are really cool!
personally I have done parties at camelot, toyon park, pump it up and scooters jungle. I hear that the movie theater behind target does parties. I think that may be next for us.
For the parks you can reserve a spot it cost money but then the gazebo is yours and you can decorate.
Of the 4 places we have gone-scooters jungle makes it the easiet and the employees are the best. camelot offers nearly no help.
Good luck
My daughter loves Girlmania at Downtown Disney....they do hair and make up and add little microphones so the girls look like rock stars. There is also Build a Bear at Downtown Disney- we had my daughters 5th birthday there and it was awesome! (more affordable than you would think!) Have fun!
Build-A-Bear at Downtown Disney, you get 3 hours free parking
Try WowZville in Laguna HIlls- there are for different party rooms to choose from (Princess, Car Racing, Detective and Alien) and I think it is the best, most unique birthday party place in Orange County - and I am the owner :-)
