- For the birthday teen that only sleeps to recover strength to get back to the video games, an attractive option may be the arcade. Some arcades, such as 3D Arcade, provide the party room without any fee and will supply the birthday person with free tokens. The party planner supplies all the food, drinks and decorating, with the understanding that the free private party room does not include tokens for the guests. With 4000 square feet and over 60 games, the game seeker will receive hours of gaming excitement. A simple alternative is to rent some video consoles and games from the video game rental store and attach them to televisions at home. This allows all the guests to play various single and multiplayer games for hours and allows the party planner to shorten or extend the birthday party duration without changing the cost of the party.
- For the sports enthusiast, consider having a birthday at a gymnasium. Many gymnasiums allow for private rentals, and some will include a separate area for eating. The cake can be made into the shape of the sport, such as a basketball or soccer ball, and decorated accordingly. Guests can split up into two teams and battle against each other for bragging rights. Party favors can include anything to do with the sport, such as small beanbags in the shape of the ball, trophies for all players, and a picture of the team together before the game started. As an added twist, guests can place their bet on what the final score will be, and the closest to it wins a prize, such as an actual basketball.
- Adventure parks provide the fun and excitement of rides, games and food, while getting the group out into the fresh air. Party guests can check out the latest games at the arcade or show no fear while climbing onto the latest roller coaster ride. Many adventure parks allow for birthday parties, such as at Adventureland, which has standard packages that include food and drinks, decorations, passes to the park and clean up after the party. Guests can test their courage with the Hurricane Coaster or Pirate Ship, cool off with some water rides or battle for the highest score in the arcades. Parents attending with a guest's younger sibling can have some fun in the kids and family section that includes a Ferris wheel and merry-go-round.
- Being cool and looking good are a given for a teen, so consider having a spa party where luxury and pampering are the themes. You can have these parties at home with everyone helping each other, have them at the spa or have the spa come to the home. Arrange for manicures, mini-facials, cosmetic makeovers and hairstyling with a mobile spa that offers trained staff and a variety of treatment options. Some spas offer birthday party packages and will reserve the facility for exclusive party use when the guest count is sufficient.
