Are you planning a birthday party for your son or daughter? Can’t decide what to do? Where to have it? Look no further! You can use Fun in Jerusalem’s party directory for venues, cakes, and more, or scroll down for 5 great birthday party ideas! From bombastic to budget-friendly, these ideas will surely put a huge smile on your child’s face! (And on all their friends, for that matter!)

1.    Storytime
For your theatrical child (from age 3+), Adina’s Open Book offers a magical party experience. She comes to you with themed parties suited to your child’s needs, complete with puppet shows, storytelling, balloon sculptures, arts & crafts, and face painting. She truly brings the wonder of books to life.

2.    Animals and Science
If your child is crazy about animals, they’ll love Zoology.  They bring the zoo right to you! (Don’t worry, he cleans up too) A well trained madrich will bring rabbits, parrots, and even snakes if your child is brave enough! For older kids, try the Jerusalem Bird Observatory for a nature hike and a treasure hunt. And for the brainiacs among us, your older child (age 6+) will really like Dr. Molecule. He entertains kids with science magic tricks and gets them involved.

3.    Classic Inflatables and Games
For your little energizer-bunny and their friends, this is a complete party idea. For ages 2+, Sport Attraction will bring the Gymboree to your home. There are ball pits, inflatables, obstacle course and more! Or call Kef Chaim to bring life sized versions of your favorite games like checkers, dukim and snakes & ladders. This is a really great idea for 2-10 year olds and it will keep the kids occupied for a long time.


4.    Extreme Sports
For older children who love action and high-energy sports, try Amitz Paintball, Challenge Tours Snappling or Scenario Laser Tag. These parties in the forest will be exciting, energy-releasing, and best of all, no cleanup (ages 9-15). 

5.    Circus
You’ve had mainly low-key parties up until now, but now that your child is about 5 and understands that this is his or her special day, why not go wild? A circus party, complete with balloon animals, juggling, and tightrope is a fun way to spend the afternoon. Govatron company does circus parties and so does Maagal. Amit, the Magician adds magic and edible bubbles to the mix and Michal Chafetz provides clowns and pantomimes.

6.    Leave the Planning to Others
If the idea of thirty 6 year old boys traipsing around your house is not so appealing then let Amit from Yeladim Mevashlim run the party at the Mercaz Tarbut (ICCC) and let the kids to enjoy baking or cooking. They also offer a Theater Party complete with an African show full of costumes, music and fun or a Sports Party with equipment, competitions and even an inflatable jumpy castle. Best of all they plan it all and you just bring the cake. Contact Fun In Jerusalem for more information.
