Winter birthdays can be a challenge for parents because the weather can be tricky. Let Montgomery County Recreation help! Here are just a few options to help you throw an easy and cost-effective indoor party for your child and plenty of their friends. For a detailed look at the rooms available at each Community Recreation Center visit the recreation website.
Stay Warm with
a Swim Party
Choose from one of four indoor pools to host a warm and toasty swim party
even in the middle of winter. It’s easy to schedule and lots of fun for kids of
all ages. Simply fill out a request form and be sure to read the birthday party
guidelines online where you can also see the available days and times for each of the
four indoor pools. Kids will enjoy all the benefits of the pool and then you’ll
have a party room where you can bring in and enjoy pizza and cake after the
swim.
Dance Party
There comes a time when kids outgrow the craft stage, but everyone likes to
dance! This is one of the easiest parties to throw because you simply rent a
community room at a nearby Community Recreation Center, bring an iPod
loaded with your child's favorite dance tunes, hang some decorations, and bring
a collection of props and small prizes or candy. The are so many games you can
play during a dance party including Hoola hoop contests, trivia contests,
musical chairs, freeze dance, karaoke, dance move contest, and more. Ask about
room rentals and any equipment you might need at the front desk of the Rec
center where you want to have your party.
Ping Pong or
Pool Game Room Party
A number of Community Recreation Centers have game rooms that are fully
equipped with pool tables, ping-pong tables, and more. Plan a party with a
tournament theme and have prizes for all the participants. Game room rental
fees vary so contact the Rec center of your choice to book your party.
Get Messy with
an Art Party
Design your own art project and bring the supplies, or hire someone to
help. Either way, we have the space to host an art party so you don’t have to
worry about your house getting messy. Be sure to plan enough time for clean up
before you cut the cake!
