South Yuba Club

South Yuba Club is another popular birthday party venue, with a few different party types to choose from. The most basic version is the bounce house party, which is great for little kids. The party room includes huge balls that the kids can roll around on the floor, a table for food and cake and a place where you can hang a pinata. Party organizers will even make note of your child's gifts and clean up afterwards, so you need to do almost nothing except bring the cake, food and party supplies.

For older kids, you can book one of the rock-climbing parties or even the indoor pool, which is especially perfect if your child has a cold-weather birthday, or if you have concerns that an outdoor pool party might get rained out. Each kid will have to pass a swim-test before being allowed in the pool, but for those who can't there are life vests available (or bring your own).

Prices for South Yuba Club parties are quite reasonable and the staff is very friendly and always does a great job. Be sure to book a few weeks in advance.
