If you're raising kids in the Grass Valley area, you already know about Gold Country Gym. It's probably the area's single most popular birthday party venue, and for good reason. The gym is full of fun things for kids to climb, bounce on or jump in. There's a floor-level trampoline, a climbing rope, a pit full of foam blocks that kids can swing into from a rope, a ton of big, soft blocks that can be used for building a temporary castle, one or two pommel horses and a rope swing. They have a big area where kids can just run in circles if they need to burn off steam, which is especially great for toddlers or kids who may not be bold enough to take full advantage of all the gym equipment.

You really don't need to plan games when you have a party at Gold Country Gym, but if you request it they'll organize some really fun parachute games or other active party games. Upstairs there's a party room where you can set out food and serve cake. You do need to bring all your own party supplies, but the clean up is done for you.

Gold Country Gym also has open gym days, in case your kids need to burn off  some steam during the week, but unfortunately they're usually scheduled during school hours so are best for preschool aged children or for the summer holidays. And of course they offer gymnastics classes, camps and team competition, too.
