Pierce County Birthday Party Locations for Kids & Teens

If you are local to the Pierce County area, we have many locations for birthday parties, both outdoor and indoor. There’s places for all ages and a few for the younger children only.

Birthday’s are so magical for children, and they only have so many magical ones. I love planning my children’s birthday parties, because it’s a time they get to shine and everyone can have fun! We do a friends party every other year, we usually have it at a location because it’s a little less stressful.

NEW! I just wrote a post with birthday locations in the Kitsap County area, and the Birthday Category for more inspiration!

 

UPDATED: 7/25/2023, Be sure to check out the location’s website, and keep in mind some places may have changed pricing.
