Whoa - another Loveland bounce place?

As I posted below about Bounce returning to Loveland, I came across an email advertising "Jumpin" which is apparently another bouncy place in Loveland. Have any of you been there? You can visit their website here for more info. We might have to check this place out! If you've been let us know what it's like!

Remember Bounce in Loveland?

So many of us were sad when Bounce!, the jumpy castle place in Loveland, closed last February. Well guess what? They're reopening at a new location in January! Yay! Not that Bouncetown here in Longmont isn't great, but it's fun to have an alternative that's not too far away! See this page for more info on their new location!

Anderson Farms opens tomorrow!

You know it's almost Halloween when fall festivals start at area farms!

Anderson Farms opens tomorrow, Saturday, September 20th. They have a bunch of great activities - wagon rides out to the pumpkin patch, corn maze, petting zoo, barrel train rides, hay bale maze and much more! Their hours vary depending on the day so be sure to check the calendar on their website! Ticket prices also vary so check out their online ticket ordering page. They even have an online coupon!

I'll be posting more about area pumpkin patches soon!

Bounce in Loveland is closed

According to this site, http://www.coloradokids.com/bounce/, Bounce in Loveland closed on February 3rd and plans to relocate and reopen in a few months. Sad! I see a lot of you are searching for "Bounce Loveland" and getting to my site so I thought I'd post about it :) It was such a fun place for birthday parties and just a great indoor activity to burn off some energy!

Bounce Town in Longmont is still open though! Bounce Town has open bounce times Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10am to 2pm and Tuesday and Thursday from 10am to 7pm. They also have Mommy Mondays when they charge only $5 to bounce!

Birthday party locations

My family doesn't really do big birthday bashes for the kids, at least not yet :) I wonder at what age kids start asking for big parties with friends? Anyway, I thought it might be useful to list some ideas for birthday party locations throughout our great city! Note: some might be time of year/weather dependent, of course!

Centennial Pool (indoors)
Longmont Recreation Center (indoors)
An outdoor pool (Sunset, Roosevelt, Kanemoto - all outdoors)
B & C Bouncetown
St Vrain Memorial Building
Reserve a shelter at one of the many parks
Crackpots - Paint your own Pottery Studio
Ed & Ruth Lehman YMCA
The Painted Poppy - make puppets, jewelry, decoupage, and more!
Blissful Family - puppet shows, storytelling, crafts, music
Airborne Gymnastics

Do you have more ideas? Where do you like to have your kids' birthday parties? Who makes the best birthday cakes? Do you know of a great clown or other performer for kids' parties? Leave a comment and share the info with others! :)
