Not that long ago, parents could invite a few friends over for pizza and a pi&ntilde;ata and call the birthday celebration a success. Kids today seem to get special guest appearances from beloved Disney characters or massive bounce houses on their front lawns every year. In a way, it seems right to focus more on special activities than presents: After all, the memories the kids will make during their birthday parties will likely last longer than any gift they unwrap. So why not make it extra special?<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmhouston.org\/birthdays\">Children&rsquo;s Museum<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houstonzoo.org\/host-an-event\/birthday-parties\/\">Houston Zoo<\/a> are always great go-tos for birthday party fun in Houston, but there&rsquo;s no shortage of other interesting venue ideas for whatever your kid is into.

Science buffs can mix &ldquo;potions&rdquo; and make custom magic wands as part of a chemistry-based Wizardology-themed party. Space fanatics can launch rockets and hunt for moon rocks in an Aliens vs. Astronauts affair. Superheroes in training can design costumes and be featured in their very own comic book at the Super Hero training institute. There&rsquo;s even a Minecraft Mania option.<\/p><p>Activities are tailored to specific age groups, and if you don&rsquo;t see the right theme for your child, you can create your own. All party packages include two hours of activities, as well as a color scheme and centerpieces. Add-ins like food, place settings, paper goods, and goody bags are also available. In addition to this Idea Lab location in Bellaire, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idealabkids.com\/#locations\">several others<\/a> in the Houston area, as well as mobile units.<\/p><h2 dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blessingtonfarms.com\">Blessington Farms<\/a><\/strong><\/h2><p dir=\"ltr\"><b>Address: <\/b>510 Chisolm Trail, Simonton, TX 77476<br><b>Hours: <\/b>Vary by season, but typically Saturday &amp; Sunday, 10 a.m. &ndash; 5 p.m.<br><b>Phone: <\/b>832-444-8717<br><b>Fees: <\/b>Small parties of 19 people or fewer (kids &amp; adults combined), $240 flat fee | Standard parties of 20+ people, $15\/person<\/p><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"7\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"><div style=\"padding:8px;\"><div style=\" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;\"><div style=\" background:url(data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC\/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5\/P8\/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo\/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI\/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf\/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;\"><\/div><\/div><p style=\" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BRzegW7h9ki\/\" style=\" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strawberry picking on Sunday!!!

In addition to enjoying hayrides and the petting zoo, kids can dig for fossils, jump on a trampoline bounce pad, and even get up close and personal with a camel. This spot is a particularly good pick in the spring and fall, when nicer weather allows high-energy kids to run amok &mdash; and parents to chase after them &mdash; without the threat of overheating. But even summertime parties can be a blast, too.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Unlike at many other venues, a birthday party reservation here isn&rsquo;t just for an hour or two. The fun lasts all day, and all activities are included. If you want access to picnic tables or covered spaces, however, that will cost extra.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><b>Address: <\/b>1501 W. 18th St., Houston, TX 77008<br><b>Hours: <\/b>Saturday, 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m., &amp; 5:30 p.m. | Sunday, 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m., &amp; 5:30 p.m.<br><b>Phone: <\/b>713-861-8200<br><b>Fees: <\/b>$295 &ndash; $345 for 18 kids | $10\/child for each attendee thereafter<\/p><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"7\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"><div style=\"padding:8px;\"><div style=\" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;\"><div style=\" background:url(data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC\/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5\/P8\/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo\/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI\/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf\/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;\"><\/div><\/div><p style=\" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BaHdO34FNhG\/\" style=\" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#Repost! \"Take risks and seek adventure&hellip;\" ?: @mckayla_ryan_<\/a><\/p><p style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;\">A post shared by The Little Gym (@thelittlegym) on <time style=\" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;\" datetime=\"2017-10-11T17:42:37+00:00\">Oct 11, 2017 at 10:42am PDT<\/time><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote><p><script async defer src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Beloved by Houston parents for its fun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.care.com\/c\/stories\/11972\/the-5-best-houston-texas-area-mommy-and-me-classes\/\">parent-child<\/a> classes, the Little Gym is a great place for toddlers and tumblers alike.

Birthday party packages include an hour of in-gym activities, games, and songs for kids, as well as setup, cleanup, paper goods, and invitations.

NinjAdventure and Majestkids Playland has an indoor obstacle course full of balance beams, ropes, nets, and a rock climbing wall. Guests can time each other, race to the finish, or do their own thing hopping from one challenge to the next. While the major obstacles are designed for older kids at least 45 inches tall, a separate section is available for toddlers. Kids will love the adventure &mdash; and parents will love the exercise they&rsquo;ll get!<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p><h2 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>One of Houston&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.care.com\/c\/stories\/12060\/the-10-best-splash-pads-to-cool-off-in-houston-texas\/\">Best Splash Pads<\/a><\/strong><\/h2><p dir=\"ltr\"><b>Hours: <\/b>Dawn to dusk<br><b>Phone:<\/b> 832-395-7000<br><b>Fees: <\/b>None<\/p><figure class=\"wp-caption\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.kinsights.com\/content\/images\/robync94-201715182115806127.jpg\" alt=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Robyn Correll<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>If your child&rsquo;s birthday falls during one of the roughly six months a year that the Houston heat is nearly unbearable, splash pad parties are a great option.

These spots are especially great for toddler birthday parties where kids are focused on more independent play but can still enjoy frolicking alongside one another. And for those who might prefer staying dry, nearby playgrounds make for a great alternate activity.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Simply set up a birthday picnic under a nearby shaded tree or at adjacent picnic tables, or go the extra mile to book a park pavilion.
